Jul 29, 2002: ‘Off-center’ article from NYTimes on Gujarat  
 

 

 


Another ‘off-center’ article from New York Times on Gujarat Another extremely biased article from New York times, full of only one sided stories on Gujarat and ignoring Godhra

Both Godhra and Gujarat are blot to humanity. Both incidents are equally inhuman in nature of the violence. Every killing was most inhuman and barbaric whether Hindu or Muslim. Godhra was the initiation and the Gujarat was the reaction. No need to mention that if first was not there the second would not have been there.

But the biased western world is once again rewriting what will be the history for future generations to read.

Read the words in NY Times article by CELIA W. DUGGER carefully.
(The author CELIA W. DUGGER is from the same land where Black and White history of riots can not be wiped out. 10 years back 57 were killed in LA riots on the acquittal of 4 white police officers by all white jury.)

Following is description of Godhra by DUGGER: (So innocent are the 2000 Muslims that were provoked enough to start the train carnage)

“Roused by religious fervor, hundreds of devotees poured out of the train at Godhra station, which is in the middle of a densely packed Muslim slum. A Muslim vendor was ordered to say "Hail Ram" and refused. The Hindu activists yanked his beard and beat him, said a state police investigator. As the train pulled out, an angry Muslim crowd pelted it with stones. No one seems certain why, but the mob's fury focused on coach S6. Stones crashed through the windows. A flaming rag soared inside, landing on a synthetic leather seat that caught fire. Police investigators say that as many as 16 gallons of gasoline were poured onto the floor. Fifty-nine people were killed.”

Now read the description of Gujarat (Please note the changed tone in language)
“Here in the adopted hometown of Mohandas K. Gandhi, the great apostle of nonviolence, Hindu mobs committed acts of unspeakable savagery against Muslims this spring. Mothers were skewered on swords as their children watched. Young women were stripped and raped in broad daylight, then doused with kerosene and set on fire. A pregnant woman's belly was slit open, her fetus raised skyward on the tip of a sword and then tossed onto one of the fires that blazed across the city.”
