Gujarat Riots: The True Story

The Truth of the 2002 riots

Myth 2: Muslims were ‘butchered’ in Gujarat

Posted on May 22, 2008 - Filed Under 12-Concocted Lies and Myths by the media |

Fact: Undoubtedly, Muslims were killed in one-sided attacks in many places in the state- like in Naroda Patiya, Gulbarg Society, Naroda Gram, Sadarpar and other places- but by and large- the riots were not one-sided- and Muslims were hardly the cattle hiding from the slaughter house. As we have seen in a couple of earlier chapters, Muslims were equally on the offensive, at least after the first three days. Muslims killed Hindus brutally in Himmatnagar, Danilimda, and Sindhi Market and other areas of Ahmedabad-as reported by weekly India Today.

See paragraphs 8,9,10,11 and 15 of this story in India Today

The Hindu reported that as early as 1st March 2002 itself, Muslims started violence in Ahmedabad. (See The Hindu’s report on this subject in its issue dated 2nd March 2002).

http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/2002/03/02/stories/2002030203050100.htm

See last line of 9th paragraph from the top.

Reports of The Hindu on this subject throughout the months of March and April 2002 make it clear that Muslims were on the offensive, called the shots in many areas, drove out Hindus from their houses, started the riots in many cases. India Today’s report on this subject in its issue dated 15 April 2002 also points out this same thing.

Around 40,000 Hindus were forced to take shelter in refugee camps. The Dalits suffered almost as much as the Muslims in the riots, only at the hands of the Muslims. On 23 March 2002, 50 Hindu shops were burnt in Ahmedabad’s Revdi Bazaar that caused a loss of 15 crore rupees.

The Muslims attacked the Hindus on 1st and 2nd March 2002 as well. They are on record starting as many as 157 riots in Gujarat after 3rd March 2002. They did not allow the police and the Army to search for criminals in their areas. They pelted the police and even the Army with bullets and stones, when they arrived to conduct search operations in Muslim areas. The Muslim women formed human chains and cut off power at night so that the criminals could flee with weapons from the Army.

Three judgments of different courts in Gujarat have sentenced some Muslims for rioting in Ahmedabad and Vadodara, post Godhra. On one occasion, 7 Muslims and on another occasion, 9 Muslims were convicted and punished for rioting and killing after Godhra. This will be seen in detail later.

The conviction of Muslims proves that Muslims were equally on the offensive-and not the cattle hiding from the slaughter house that the media makes them out to be.

    Welcome to the RSS terrorism…

    When a muslim explodes himself, RSS/VHP/BJP cll is Islamic terrorism.

    Now eventually, it will be in light that RSS men that are arrested all over india have definite roles in blasts all over india, now how do we peaceful HINDUS feel if the nation calls this Hindu terrorism??

    Isn’t this hindu terrorism?? Devendra Gupta is a hindu…so anything terrorist type he does is HINDU TERRORISM RIGHT???

    I read this website…well its all about fanatism.The idealogy is no less than a Taliban.It not about a muslim being killed or a hindu..its about a human being killed. Killing of hindus in godhra was wrong… so was the killing of muslims in riots.Killing of 64 hindus cannot be a justification point to kill another 1000 muslims and “VICE A VERSA”.
    The problem with fanatics and illetrate people are that they mix religion and nationalism. These 2 things are different.We have allways placed our relgion first then our country which is wrong.No religion teaches hatred.Feeling of revenge will allways lead to distruction.
    Dont promote hatred among indians through your website… promote unity and peace..otherwise we will keep on fighting… so brother.. be we need to be indian first then hindu or muslims… JAI HIND

    stupid hamza if mujahidin cant do like your expectation .If they will try
    to kill innocent people,all muslims are killed by our indian army.

    The main problem is the attitude of some Muslim people who do not tolerate existance of other faith. And they try, in every way, to impose the things practiced by themselves upon others: five times pray, allah has made us to pray him etc. etc.

    There are many other religions (Jain, Sikh, Buddhists etc.) with which there is no communal conflict. Why it happens only with Muslims? Because, their religious teachers teach them; they are intolerant.

    They think that this attitude will, one day, wipe out other faiths out of the subcontinent. Muslim religious leaders enrage innocent uneducated people and push them into such activities.

    I believe that India should focus more and more in education. More the people is educated, and employed less the people will be attracted to bigoted religious preaching and peace will prevail.

    Whatever said and done, see now there are no riots in Gujarat. Unless there is a strong response these Muslims will not keep quite.

  6. mohit INDIA on December 19th, 2009 5:02 am

    Just answer my 1 simple question what if hindus burn the train & kill muslim in pakistan can you imagine faith of Hindus 1/2% in pakistan ,what muslim & extremist muslim what to sense in India on how much back foot hindu scan go ,they thus do these sort of activity again & again.

    Now tell me 01 incidence in world or history of mankind when riots are done against muslim it is muslim who incite and initiate riot as they think taht it is there general right for riot but suppose if they are hurt tahn it is problem.

    HINDUS ISLAMIC FORCES CAN NEVER SIT IDLE THEY ARE ALWAYS READY TO ASSULT IN INDIA INTERNALLY EXTERNALLY FOR WE HAVE ABUNDANCE OF PIGS IN OUR SOCIETY TO SAFEGUARD THEM ,SO BE ON VIGIL AND ALERT /IT IS LUCK & ASHIRWAD OF OUR MOTHER GODDESS /GOD THAT INSPITE OF SO MANY KATUAS WE ARE STILL IN OK SHAPE.
    DEFINITEL FEW MUSLIMS ARE OK BUT THERE % IS MARGINAL AND LEAST EFFECT ON SOCIETY WHO ARE BLOOD THIRSTY AND CRAVING TO MAKE HINDUSTAN ANOTHER PAPISTAN.

  7. Indian on September 16th, 2009 5:47 pm

    Who killed whome is not the question. The organised killings and rapes by the members of so called HINDUTVADI parties like RSS/BJP and VHP are condemnable.
    WHy no RSS / BJP leader has condemned the killings?
    Why no SHANKARACHARYA has came to guide HINDUS and condemne the rapes and killings?
    Every Muslim leader has condemned the GODHRA killings, the silence of Hindu parties speaks their role in the genocide.

    Sit report to supreme court stated that the ngo teesta setalad has doctored the affadavits including zaheera’s which she has openly told in the courts she was made to sign the affadavits by teestha and her assitant and infact has been threatened by the two of them. I wonder what’s the secular brigade has o say about it.

    Its so convieneint for some people and politicians to forget about 1984 sikh massacre and keep making stories about gothra. Why do they not want the truth to come out………….

  9. Mahendra Tamhane. INDIA on July 22nd, 2009 9:22 am

    Before anything is done to Muslims those who are Hindus but pretend themselves to be secularist are required to be killed.Muslims would become as docile as rebits.The seculerists are the real animies of Hindus.

  10. Deepak UNITED STATES on July 12th, 2009 4:10 am

    FANATICS ON THIS SITE KEEP SAYING THAT WE HAVE A GREAT CULTURE IN INDIA, HINDUISM THIS AND THAT , BLA BLA BLA

    REAL TRUTH, ALL OVER THE WORLD IS THAT : PEOPLE MAKE THE CULTURE, CULTURE DOES NOT MAKE PEOPLE.

    Which means, Indians cannot brag about a culture of past to tell the world what they are today, what they re doing today is what they culture is, that is their true culture. And today;’s INDIA is uncompetitive, corrupt, shameless, ruthless and far worse than its neighbors in terms of HEALTH CARE, SOCIAL STRUCTURE AND DEFENSE of the country…shame on INDIA…
