I think I was in 7th grade when this incident happened and I remember feeling ecstatic about it...Some of the classmates(Hindus) did not like it at all and we argued argued and argued ...Well, we were not so matured to be politically correct etc at that point of time..So words flew accross like daggers and whoever got killed got killed..
Communal riots broke out between Hindus and Muslims after that..The infamous Bombay riots happened..So much of destruction happened, all in the name of Religion, or is it for the Vote Bank?
Today when I think back, I dont feel so strongly about it..I am not even sure why I felt like that at that point of time...Yeah, perhaps family influence...In fact I am confused if it was really a genuinely emotional thing that happened or merely a political stunt to garner the Hindu Votes...Sometimes I even feel that these kinds of things are mindless, when so many people are dying without food, shelter and clothing, all those people could think of was religion and a temple ?
After that, my family has permanently become BJP supporters, (except my grandfather of course, who is a freedom fighter and still is under the illusion that Congress is nothing but Indian National Congress...😆...)And I think its true for most of the Hindu families..
Now I would love to learn your views on this one of the turning point incidents of India...
1.Do you support the incident, condemn it or dont care about it?
2.What were your feelings about the incident at that point of time?
3.What do you feel today about it?
4.Some argued that it brought back all the Hindus together..Do you agree??
5.Is it important to claim back all the Hindu temples that are now under the Islamic structures?
6.Did BJP get benifitted because of this or did it work against?
7.Congress obviously condemned the act, but later when Shri.P.V.Narasimha Rao became the PM, he also did not take any action against the possible offenders, why???Do you think he was secretly supporting the incident, or he also did not want to lose the Hindu Vote Bank?
Note:Since religion is obviously one of the points here, I suggest we refrain from making any strong, hurting statements...I was able to post this topic only because I trust my DM friends to be sensible enough to know where to draw a line...Thank You😃
Cheers,
Raksha😃
