Ties have hit a new low ever since the district elected a majority of BJP MLAs, and worsened considerably after the new govt took power. The police seems to have given the Bajrang Dal a free run, and apprehended mostly muslims. They are ably backed by BJP MLAs and some ministers.<BR/><BR/>Riots aren't new to mangalore (This is a sangh parivar stronghold), and has occured since the babri demolition (In fact the worst occured in the late sixties). In fact the RSS held its highest meeting (chintan baithak) here last year, and praised the Dakshina Kannada shakha for its "good work"<BR/><BR/>There have been numerous accounts of bajrang dal mobs with swords barging into muslims houses and shops with their faces painted, encountering some resistance in pockets, but mostly having their way. This was mostly a one-sided riot.<BR/><BR/>However, there were instances of people helping each other too, in mixed areas. <BR/><BR/>I've heard of a group of muslims who took a hindu lady to hospital defying curfew after she suffered a heart attack, and a group of hindu autorickshaw drivers who prevented a muslim from being attacked. <BR/>Lets hope peace reignsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-1160581820156456212006-10-11T21:20:00.000+05:302006-10-11T21:20:00.000+05:30Since the link posted by hp is not being displayed...Since the link posted by hp is not being displayed properly, here is the title of the story: "Mangalore Riots: BJP minister to resign"<BR/><BR/>The story can be accessed from the front page of ndtv.com<BR/><BR/>=-=-=-=-=-=<BR/>About the incident itself, I don't know what to say.

Ever since the fall of Babri Masjid, the Bajrang Dal and the RSS affiliates have become strong in the region. And they keep finding new ways to trigger the riots.<BR/><BR/>And the riots have always seen an equal participation from both the communities. <BR/><BR/>And yes, Ash is a Tulu and so is Sunil Shetty :-)<BR/><BR/>Isha,<BR/><BR/>The quick action taken by the government this time has helped preventing the escalation of the riots. Curfews have been placed very strictly and anyone violating orders have been quickly apprehended. Also, the top leaders of the Hindutva factions have been taken under arrest to quell any further reactions.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>HPHPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00598035261505894500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14053277.post-1160418461249369772006-10-09T23:57:00.000+05:302006-10-09T23:57:00.000+05:30You really believe there will be an action against...You really believe there will be an action against?
