A quick note:

If anyone is skipping it because they think I am against Zaheera, then please take a look -- it is important. I have raised questions about NGOs too and quoted people far more relevant than I could ever be.

Re. my reference to ``Muslim problem``, in this particular context it is about even activists refusing to openly call it a Muslim issue. I find this strange. The Gujarat riots were indeed targeted at the Muslim community. And to think that Kashmir is made into a Muslim problem when it most certainly was not.

PS: Personal comments against me will not lessen the crimes or altar the truth as has been exposed.

Farzana bibi,
All symapathy and legitimacy deserved by Zaheeras of this world is lost as soon as people like you jump in the kitchen to flame further fire and bake your own potatos

I am afraid to read this article.

Currently, I support Zaheera. I believe that her earlier testimony (not the latest one) is the correct one. It seems to be another case where gundaa raj may be getting an upper hand, and justice may be scuttled.

But I fear that after reading Farzana, I will turn into a bitter opponent of Zaheera and everything related to her...


I will skip it :(

~~ but yet she has no shame in writing articles like this~~



If cold blooded murderers have no shame killing and raping, looting and burning, then why should writers who write about them? Have you no shame writing responses like this?

rgds,

And why are people shirking away from calling it a Muslim problem?

I am not clear what `Muslim problem` exactly means. Does this mean that only Muslims are qualified to talk about `Muslim problems`? Or that only Hindus can talk about `Hindu problems`? Conversely are u suggesting that every Hindu/Muslim is accountable for the actions of another Hindu/Muslim? What an atrocious idea.

A timely and pertinent article.
Kaurasach #1 You are right.Justice system is screwed.This is what led to women taking justice in their hands in Nagpur recently.To me,it was heartwarming in a strange sort of way.It is another matter that things could have been given a religious colour there as well,if there was scope.And it also is pathetic to see apologists jumping up and down with glee at the volte face of Zaheera.
