I'm not in favour of unprovoked violence. But #GodhraRiots was started by Islamists by burning alive Hindus in a train coach- a tragedy which has no parallel in modern human history. In all the current discussion around Godhra, this seminal event is conveniently skipped. 1/n

The riots that ensued, the riots which was instigated by Islamists (like as always, backed by white collar Muslims) had proportionate response- people have the right to & they should never surrender this right. This event marked the beginning of new resilient Hindu society 2/n

which will not be a mute spectator to the carnage of their kith & kin by Islamists- happening since centuries. Godhra was Hindu society's 'enough is enough' moment, which learnt its lessons (albeit slow) from Kashmir Pundit genocide again by Islamists 3/n

#GodhraRiots was started by Islamists to intimidate the Hindu society into submission- but reverse happened. Unexpected happened. The vegetarian, trade minded, soft Gujarati community showed them who's the boss. The ummah got shocked & is still not able to recover 4/n

#GodhraRiots instigated by Islamists, is peculiar also because the peace loving Hindu community from Gujarat, from the land of Mohandas Gandhi (who preached peace through submission) retaliated violently & discarded Gandhi's naked hypocrisy, impractical fantasy 5/n

#GodhraRiots sent a message to the world that Gandhi's theoretical ideas were impractical, flawed, biased. That Gandhi has caused more harm with his copied submissive, self contradictory ideals. Gandhi was killed ideologically in 2002, forever. 6/n

The morality of violence is non debatable. But violence as a reaction for self preservation, violence against the animalistic attitudes, violence against adharma, violence against violence is debatable. 7/n

#Godhra event of 2002 is a compressed synopsis of civilizational war between peace loving, all faith respecting, evolving Hindus & violent, riot indulging, non reforming, single God believer Abrahamic religion.

HINDUS WILL NEVER BE FORCED INTO SUBMISSION. NEVER AGAIN.
