"Its incomprehensible."
Most riots in India are. Almost all political parties follow, or have followed, this path.

"They dont need them, they can mobilize and use indian "demo-crazy" to advance their extremist and disgusting causes."

So, are you suggesting that we get rid of "demo-crazy"? Or, do you want to butcher the Jamaatis? Wait, their front in Assam has Hinud MLAs!

Actually, I suggest you get rid of the Jamaatis, the Brahmins and Mayawati. Otherwise, pretty soon I see a joint front between them.

"Its Nadigrammainly"

If you are talking about Calcutta, then it is not mainly about Nandigram. It is about the Jamaat trying to increase its base. The riot simply was a demonstration of force.

As we all know, CPI(M) is as rabidly communal as BJP. Only difference was, they were playing the muslim minority card - thru support of bangladeshi immigration, thru relationship with Jamaat and so on. Being fools and ignorant of history, they were not aware of what happens to "godless left revolutionaries" in islamic heavens like Iran, Pakistan etc.

But now many districts in Bengal are 40-60% muslim. Muslim communal forces no longer need their tactical partnership with the communists. They dont need them, they can mobilize and use indian "demo-crazy" to advance their extremist and disgusting causes.

What a spectacle ! In the land of Tagore and Amartya Sen - a poor middle-class women writer is being targetted by howling mobs of men. And no one has come forward to unambiguously protect her, no one.

I’m a bit confused who are mozzies, is it some muslim sect who marry hindu women.
It seems hindus in India are just as bad as Sikhs in UK, when it comes to their daughters marrying outside their religion, especially a muslim.

Your daughter does not need your Tamil permission after 18.Padma married,rushshdie , Rao married You know the hundred others.

In Calcutta the business community is too busy making money they do not give love specially to there daughter who are lesser than men in inheritence .Iknow this b/c every suitable muslim boy in my college had hindu girl falling for them knowing fully it would be socially unacceptable



'We need to squash the Mozzies like we squash mosquitoes."

there are population figures of districts, and yes, there are figures for the entire east and west Bengal. Pray explain how this is might is right. But hang on, why am I expecting sense out of 12 head?

Why not bring up the census figures if you want?

There is no census of how many muslims were in west bengal and how many in east.You cannot muscele your self like Bjp marwaris Todis with might is Right.

India has right to do whatever but people have right to object which maybe over ruled as in court.

Re nb #25

[Do you really think Ashok Todi could have had Rizwan killed even if he was upper middle class, not poor? And would he have dared think about it if Rizwan had been wealthy?]

Mozzies should be permitted to only marry Mozzie women. Laying eyes on Hindu women should carry the death penalty in India.

Re cliftonbridge #6

[I think India should pawn her off to europe or america where her presence would not lead to the loss of other peoples lives.]

Netherlands, maybe? No, I don't think so. Remember the Prophet Mohammad cartoons?

Nordic countries? No, the Mozzies there are killing their daughters for the crime of being in love with somebody not acceptable to the parents. Ditto for England.

The problem is not India or any other country. The problem is the Mozzies. We need to squash the Mozzies like we squash mosquitoes.

#23 stukay, my problem is not that there are Muslims from Bengal, it is that there are migrants from Bangladesh. I don't grudge them their efforts at making a living. I do however grudge their trying to change the way Indians live and trying to dictate to the Indian Government.

Shah2, please feel free to keep flagging my posts. Chowk staff are not fools like you and will see there is nothing objectionable.
Do you really think Ashok Todi could have had Rizwan killed even if he was upper middle class, not poor? And would he have dared think about it if Rizwan had been wealthy?
And yes, I believe that about 24 Parganas, percentage wise there are more Muslims in some districts than before partition. Most people in the area acknowledge it.Why not bring up the census figures if you want? Do what you will.You are much more likely than me to be bald and middle-aged,in fact quite clearly are middle-aged, so why the fuss?

"I think India should pawn her off to europe or america where her presence would not lead to the loss of other peoples lives. "


?? India has the right to offer a visa to whomsover India wants. This Muslim methodology of threatening violence needs to be paid back in the same coin.

what we need is a kick in the arse to Bengali Muslins who are defacto Bangladeshis in any case. Indians should remember that the first demand for Pakistan came from Bengali Muslims. Bengali Muslims first betrayed India and then betrayed Pakistan. These Bangladeshis should be repatriated, forcefully if required, to Bangladesh.
