There is nothing as "voluntary bundh" in this country. Remember Shiv Sena 'eshtyle'. You close or else 'thod phod'. I have seen even the police prevailing on an upright shopkeeper to close down, rather than protecting him & protecting the law of the land.

There was a time when the people of the district lived as one, and religious differences hardly mattered. That was because people used to distinguish between right and wrong. Now most people only distinguish between his religion and the other religion. Whatever I do in the name of my religion (even the cruellest of acts) is right, and whetever you do is wrong - this the motto of many. Let us learn how to live with each other before it is too late. The whole country will be unliveable if we keep killing each other

All problems will be solved if we are taught from our childhood to understand and practise that we are firstly Human Beings, secondly Indians and thirdly belong to particular religion. All human being's blood is the same, irrespective of their religion. People who want to fight in the name of protecting their brothern, please join the army/navy and protect the country from growning terrorism against humanity, coz all the religions preach to practise only peace and harmnoy.

"Situation is fully under control",thus say the police & administration, often repeated incident after incident. And yet another incident and more blood is spilt in the name of religion. No problem is unsurmountable if there is a will amongst our politicians. Let us vote for a Federal System of Law. Remember, the root cause of all ills in this country is none other than the police force controlled by political power in the State Administratin.

Any act of violence is abhorrent, however it is a bit perplexing to me when Sangh supporters use the word 'anti-national' to describe whoever speaks against them. Excuse me, but is killing fellow indians on a large scale every now and then a 'nationalist' act (and I'm not even going into detail what happened in places like gujarat or even orissa, so as not to cause bitterness) ?

Even leaving gujarat and orissa for a while, lets analyse what's happened in our hometown in recent times. Did these groups go on a rampage and destroy homes on a large scale a just over a year ago and kill a couple? Was it a 'patriotic' act? Even after this incident, attacks have been taking place on minority hotels and individuals on a regular basis, the last being over two weeks ago. Obviously, there was not even a whimper of protest then.

An example of the sheer audaciousness of these organisations is the Iqbal murder case which occured over a couple of months ago. The police had then announced the "arrest" of some of the culprits. One of those "arrested" was Sharan Pumpwell, the co-ordinator of the Bajrang Dal. If you though he would be behind bars, you're in for a surprise. This same Sharan Pumpwell was last week in full public view announcing to the press his fothcoming 'agitation' against the Christian comunity in Panchanady Hill. I mean, if this isn't pathetic, what is?

Being a hindu i m ashamed of my community.Government should ban fascist groups like bajrangdal, VHP, Durgavahini etc. Well done !!! and great work done by whoever did this. Need to continue this in the future so that some radical groups can learn a lesson. I m looking for the day when the leaders of these facist groups will get some blows from the public.These peoples are spreading hatred between our innocent hindu and muslim brothers. THESE RADICAL GROUPS SHOULD BE AWARDED AS "DEVIL FORCES OF INDIA"

I totally disagree with Mr Sandeep Rai. It is the majority attacking the minorities. Pls let me know in Post Independence India, has a christian ever attacked and destroyed a temple. The start was done by demolishing the Babri Mosque. There shall always tit for tat. Tolarance has a limit. Every body should know their duties and should not miuse their numbers to oppress the minorities. I agree with Mr Kumar, Arun and William, that any such attacks are deplorable and condemnable. We should be impatial in administering justice and no such attack should take place.

Why a common man who is not associated with any terrorist orgnaisation is not attacked and walks free. It is the ideology and deeds invite such problems and attacks. Stop oppression against minorities in the name of religion and start respecting basic human values and loving fellow human beings. Reject those who spread hatred amongst communities in tha name of religion and politics. Has any religion ever preached violence?

No. Not at all. What we see today is the product of planned hatred and alienation by the so called political parties. If you really want peace, start spreading love and care for your neighbour. Look at the human being as a human being and dont look at him as a christian, sikh, muslim and a hindu, then whole problem shall be solved and there shall be peace and harmony everywhere.

It is surprising to note comments of Sandeep Rai that minorities attack majority community. It looks like he has forgotten the fact that all are Indians. United - We stand, Divided - We break. Instead of closing the case with the arrest of few front line persons involved in the riots, the police should dig deep and find the source. Catch those people who remain faceless. Root cause of evil is not illiteracy and alcohol but, unemployment.

Well said Mr.Arun. It is the hatred which sowed against other religion by the fundamentalist. Unless you experience it how these fundamentalist react against you, you will never know their dept of hatred. The young & innocent boys mind has been brainwashed with hatred. Thanks to cable net work because programmes in the TV keeps people mind busy.

I am really ashamed to say I am a Mangalorean after all these kinds of problems creating in our beautiful Tulunadu. Earlier to my knowledge there wasn't such organisations creating problems like Minorities and Majorities here and we were like brothers and sisters.So please my Dear Kudladakule,dont be silly and create misunderstanding between ourselves.And do not prevent us to say that I am a Mangalorean because of silly acts, we have dignity any where we go in this world.

Why blame minorities for everything? As a majority of this country, Hindu organizations can be more responsible. If they act responsible and respect other religion, peace will come naturally. This entire problem has started because of the propaganda by Hindu organizations. They do not want Muslims to slaughter cows, even if Muslims legally slaughter cows, these street goons attack them in the name of religion? They target Christians because they feel that Christians are converting whereas no case till date has been proven against Christians for forcible conversions..

Even in their heart these radical Hindu extremists know that there is no forcible conversion by Christian minorities… As far as peaceful conversions, of course it is allowed by the Constitution of India, so what is VHP and Bajrang Dal's problem? Article 12 to 35 contained in Part III of the Constitution deal with Fundamental Rights.

One of these is: (iv) right to freedom of conscience and free profession, practice, and propagation of religion Probably these street goons do not know that there is a constitution for India. For all the people's kind information, Hindu is not the only religion of India and India do not belongs to only Hindus.. India is a country of all Indians.

Believe it or not, this is the fact!!! I request all the sensible Indians and scholars from all communities to come together and raise the voice against fundamentalism. Fundamentalism in any form and in any religion is an evil to the society…and as a majority group of this country Hindus should be more responsible in treating the minorities instead of killing them and taking the support of violence to justify their stand. Why can't Sangh Parivar fight a legal battle in the court instead of killing innocent people?

The reason, even the Sangh Parivar knows that they do not stand a single chance to win a legal battle in the court… It is sad that both State and Central government have failed to enforce law and order in the country. It is a shame!

We all need to condem the continuos attacks on Hindus in DK in the recent times. Arrest all those anti soical elements behind these attacks. Willaim Lobo: you are absolutely right .radicals are present in all religions. Be it the recent Orissa massacre by Hindu groups or the recent US national Mr haywood who has absconded from Mumbai for his assistance to Islamic terrorists in the recent Bangalore, Ahemedebad bombings.

Right Mr. Kumar i condemn these attacks BUT would you have condemned if a person belonging to a minority would have been attacked or atleast have you condemned what the RADICAL hindu organizations are doing in Orissa ?? For your info Radicals do not belong to only the Muslim community they are spread across all religions.

Dear Sandeep Rai, Why do you fear? If you stop comitting atrocities against the minorites i am pretty sure they too will treat you well. because lets not forget what happens when you corner a defenceless cat.... My suggestion is STOP listening and electing those religous fundamentalist polticians who sow seeds of hatred and have a secular approach then we all can live in peace.

First condemn the attack on these individuals. We need to tell those anti-India elements in a clear voice that intolerance in our society doesn't work. Also, we have to tell those forces that radicalization doesn't work in our country.
