What has secularism achieved for this country other than deepening the divide that exists between communities ? Here is a glaring example of how those in power have abused it at the cost of Indias majority. The 1990 massacre of pilgrims in Ayodhya has never been discussed, let alone having been pursued for justice to innocent victims. What we know as a fact is that in the month of October 1990, about 11 lakh pilgrims were present in Ayodhya. Under the instructions of the then Chief Minister of UP, Mulayam Singh Yadav, the UP Police Force and the several battalions of the RPF (Rapid Action Force) were ordered to cordon off Ayodhya. Soon after that the police, at the behest of the State Administration, started spraying the unarmed pilgrims with real bullets ! No official inquiry was ever conducted on this massacre in which (if ground sources are to be believed) a minimum of 30-40 thousand innocent pilgrims were killed because of the police firing and stampede. If this indeed is the video that depicts the same, then there is a need for a serious inquiry ! And the most serious question is, how is this attack on unarmed innocent civilians by SP govt. any different from 26/11 attack by terrorists i? Look at the manner of execution and the way lives were lost. As a matter of fact its worse - several times higher in magnitude of casualties! Has ANY media house, NGO, intellectual or Human Rights activist raised this issue even once ? why ?
