“I recognized two people pulling away my daughter Shabana.My daughter was screaming in pain asking the men to leave her alone.My mind was seething with fear and fury. I could do nothing to help my daughter from being assaulted sexually and tortured to death.My daughter was like a flower, still to see life.Why did they have to do this to her? What kind of men are these? The monsters tore my beloved daughter to pieces.” Medina Mustafa Ismail Sheikh, then in Kalol refugee camp, Panchmahals District, Gujarat This report is dedicated to the hundreds of thousands of Indians who have lost their homes, their loved ones or their lives because of the politics of hatred.We stand by those in India struggling for justice, and for a secular, democratic and tolerant future.

Yes. I share fully with your tragedy though I cant do much more than empathizing. But Delhi Raj is like that and mainstream India and also media are the same. Look at what they do in Manipur and the entire North East. A lady TH Manorama has been allegedly raped and killed by Indian security forces and neither the PM nor the Home Minister cares to visit there and pacify the revolting people. Instead they coolly say, let people calm down there and then only we will do something. This is the best that indian rulers have learnt from the british in 300 years of their rule in india.

Salmah, it was horrified to know what happened to your daughter, but have you ever tried to know why this happened? Do you think it was good when bunch of muslim extremist set fire on a train bogie which caused 79 lives and after that more than 50,000 muslim lives? have you ever criticized these muslim extremist publicly what they are doing against India? Do you think in every severe crime in India muslims are some how involved? Why they are supporting Pakistani militants? Did you raise any voice when Bombay blast had occurred? Did you tell your family/family members not to feel so elated when India loose a match against Pakistan? so if you didn’t then you do not have any rights to put your plight on any forum.

It all started when a train full of people (hidus) chanting religious songs were mecilesly burntdown by pouring kerosine on them. by islamic facatics. In revenge for this , the hindus(who usually are very meek and humle people) have to resort to violance like the one quoted above. VIOLANCE BREED VIOLENCE) This is a result of the teaching 'Kill all unbelevers.and God will reward you"
