Exchange of Population is the only solution. That should have happened in 1947. Still there are times, as the number of Muslims in India are more or less the same as the number of non-Muslims in Pakistan and Bangladesh taken together.
A 25 years programme to exchange the population can solve this chronic problem of communal riots.
Seems to be a planned attack. Congress govt can't handle this situation. After everything happens will they pick some youth and try to close the case. Old city is peaceful in TDP ruling where Police have full rights. This congress govt can't take tough decision due to the MIM party support it has.Purely vote bank politics.
What's the point of a news article , if all info isn't shared , double standards definitely
it was a merely a game played by politicians for their sake
Look at the canny of this report... they forgot to mention that someone
cut a pig and throwed it in the mosque... Why is it not mentioned in
bold that it was hindus perpetuating this crime?
I find it curious that when the minority community desecrates a
religious place in Saidabad area on sunday morning, everyone says it is
a political play. How come Congress Govt. names terrorism as Hindu
Terrorism and to suppress the majority community, Congress Govt. wants
to bring "Prevention of Communal and Targeted Violence Bill. What kind
of justice.
In the name of Allah or Krishna or Father, such incidents really pains all of Indians. Why not the hooligans punish politicians instead of accepting to violence. Its not the religion which keeps us away but by corrupt polititians and the corrupt police who are in hand in hand with them.
Time is ripe enough for both the community to come to table. How long
are we going to follow some Ayothollah and Swami, killing each other,
while these so called modern Babas {Really Dadas/Dons} enjoying Z+
security. Its just loss of money to common man. These leaders are well
paid by foreign agencies, for destabilizing our nation.Our politicians
are responsible for this indirectly, despite 60 years of independence,
they have helped to keep a chunk of people illiterate, and religious
bigots by playing reservation cards,which will never help to maintain
social quality and harmony. But as far as many hindus are considered,
one has to understand that many consider halal killing of cows and
calves{not even months old}as well as Babri Masjid issue as 2 major
crux in maintaining communal harmony with muslims, although the history
speaks much beyond 2.Its for muslims to come forward and represent
their genuine cases to true hindu leaders {not some religious bigots}
rather than taking up arms
The people of TG wonder why the communal riots crop up only when the demand for the seperate state arises? This is not the first instance that this type of situation has come. I have heard from my parents and their parents that the situation like this has cropped up in the year 1969 and so on when the demand for a seperate TG state was in demand. Is it that the ruling party is implementing the Divide and Rule policy of the British? Is it that the government has decided firmly not to go for declaring a seperate state of TG? Is it that the government is sending the message that if TG state is formed in near future, their will be no security for the minorities in TG? The people of TG have to be united in situations like this irrespective of religion, caste and creed so that the path for the formation of a seperate TG state will be made easy.
Deplorable. During riots only loser is humanity and religion.
Unfortunately people are NOT educated enough and thus enlightened and
politicians play with their emotions to incite violence in order to
strengthen their vote banks. People who are educated, well off and
properly employed are never involved in such activities. Only anti
social elements from all sides are involved in these kinds of riots.
I find it curious that Hindu and other English media are particularly shy in naming the communities or nature of desecration involved; but didn't have the same standards or norms when riots in Gujarat was involved. Double standards indeed.
The politicians are playing with the innocent people and disturbing their lives. Hindus+Muslims+christians = Indian. No one from any religion want to fight each other. All knows we are living together in the same country since born to death. Then why should they disturbs their busy lives. We indians should stand together and should stop the political inhuman games.
i would like to take this opportunity to comment on communal voilence in hyderabad again. This is very sad news for us both hindus and muslims i would like to request both communities to maintain peace and harmony.what a shame for us we indian fighting each other we NRI from Doha Qatar please maintain peace and harmony. don't clash with each other. live like brothers. no religion allow to kill innocents. For God sake stop violence i request police to use iron hand to deals with people who are spreading communal violence.
how long we poor hindus should be damaged by other communites n why we
should not get united like other communites so we can face the problems
imposed by other n everyone knows cp is supporting one group n he should
be disqualified so
Respect other's religion, religious places, feelings, emotions, be tolerant towards others and don't mix faith with politics. If we mix it, we will only be diluting our faith and the prospects of a better future, not only of ours but also of the future generations. May we get the power to fight our inner self and purify ourselves, to gain the blessings of Almighty.
during ganesh immersion times the police make fool proof arrangements-which ought to be made permanent-CCTVs in old city-may be you require over 100 or so-which enable catching the culprits as it is difficult to nab them individually-hence police-dgp-think of permanent such measures and just monitor every day-the crime rate will fall.
Whenever the visit of Togadia in the city, the hatred and communal clashes occurred. Hyderabadi people should stop his visits in any function, usually north Indians and the Gujraties encourage his visits.
How long can a civilized society bear the political nature of anti-social elements..1 Million Lives Lost during India Partition and the saga continues till date.. Why should we allow this..No religion is involved here..
