There is a rebellion underway in Pakistan on a scale that this country has never seen before. Almost a million landless tenants are rallying behind the slogan ‘ownership or death’ and demanding ownership rights that have been promised them by the state for over a hundred years now. The significance of the scale and the scope of this uprising is enormous.

It is sad that those waging at least a symbolic battle
against the BJP's majoritarianism did not oppose militarism — another
critical aspect of the Sangh Parivar's agenda — and its symbol,
A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, for President.

The indefinite hunger strike by survivors of the Bhopal gas tragedy entered the fifth day today with no assurance coming from the government on their demands.

THE DECISION OF the Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, and the State's BJP unit to put off the series of `rath yatras' scheduled from today is indeed a matter of great relief to the extent that an imminent threat to the fragile peace obtaining there has receded — the programme has only been "deferred", not called off.

The nation ought to be grateful to Narendra Modi. The Gujarat chief minister has agreed to call off — if only “for the time being” — his proposed Gaurav Rath Yatra, which had raised the spectre of renewed communal strife in the state.

The mystery over the burning of the S-6 compartment of Sabarmati Express at Godhra on February 27, which killed 59 passengers and set off an unprecedented spate of communal frenzy all over Gujarat, has turned deeper with the forensic report on the incident discounting the possibility of the mob throwing inflammable liquid from outside and then setting the bogie on fire.

Forensic investigators in India have raised questions over an attack which killed almost 60 Hindus and led to widespread anti-Muslim riots in the western state of Gujarat.

Riot victims in the cities of Gujarat may find a way of putting the recent communal violence behind them and start lives afresh. But many from the rural areas are still reluctant to go home. Having escaped death by hairbreadth once, they are not ready to take any chances.

GPCC president Amarsinh Chaudhary has alleged that "those who set the Sabarmati Express on fire on February 27 and those who instigated the riots all over the state subsequently were the same people".

A report by the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) on the probabilities of the February 27 Godhra train carnage has opened a Pandora's box with many people questioning the Gujarat Government's theory of "conspiracy'' by the minorities.

All participants of the unlawful "U.S. Administration" are hereby ordered to surrender themselves to the Federal Bureau of Investigation or the Army of the United States.
