Now it is over! Woh ek Junun tha voh utar Gaya.
But what will happen to Gujarat now? We have seen Punjab from both the sides - they have almost nullified other community from both ends.
Will it happen to Gujarat? I think it is not possible. Most of the Gujarati muslims are staying here for centuries and so much tied with the culture and people here that it is difficult to separate.
Yes, for big cities it would be difficult for a common muslim to own and run a business in hindu dominated area - at least for some time.
At the end - everything will be settled down, I hope.

Whatever has happened, it has definately destroyed indian image from secular to brutal.
You can't imagine that the people of Gujarat will go to streets like this.
I am shameful for being a Gujarati.

Are you shameful for the torching the train that caused violent death of pilgrims or
shameful for the riots that followed ?
or both ?
By the way , India is the largest , democratic and secular country in the world. Not just in words but also in Actions. The minority population in INdia has increased since 1947 whereas in Pakistan the minority population is virtually extinct and in Balgladesh it is dwindling. So India was , is and remains secular .
