True story about Hindus and muslims regarding backlash. I was in India at a time of godaraj incedent, where all the riots started to take place. I was stuck in Ahemdabad and my passport was in Baroda. At the time regular people where afraid to travel because the rioters where targeting the highways and stopping cars and trucks. First there were Hindu rioters destroying and killing, but after few days when things started to subside, there where rumors that the muslims where going to riot. I remember that night, the whole community did not go to sleep and everyone was just waiting outside to see if there where going to be any riots from the muslims. I don't even know why we where all standing outside at 10 oclock at night for, either they where scared or they thought more people displaying was form of might, but i know inside they where all afraid.
When i finally get back to my house, the muslims family that was living next to us for generations where not there. Within hours I got a call from Lally (one of the daughters from the family), my first reactions was, is anybody hurt and if everthing is alright. Luckly they where all fine, and I went to meet them. I really felt the sorrow and the pain. My first question was who started the riots and forced you out the house in our community? That person everybody in the community knew, and he was this hindu religious fanatic making money by telling people there future. Keep in mind there have been riots in Gujarat, but it has never affected our community.
So the jist of this story is that, it starts with one religous fanatic person affecting a peaceful community where hindus and muslims leaving next to each other for generations get affected.
Well that is my true story of this godaruj (i hope i spelled it right) incedent.
