For @ketpan quote from Wapo by Teesta justifying Godhra http://tinyurl.com/3duct8b RT @sandy1234321

here is the direct quote:

begin quote:

Teesta Setalvad, head of Communalism Combat, a group that opposes religious extremism in India, said that "while I condemn today's gruesome attack, you cannot pick up an incident in isolation. Let us not forget the provocation. These people were not going for a benign assembly. They were indulging in blatant and unlawful mobilization to build a temple and deliberately provoke the Muslims in India."

Great find. It also shows that the Gujarat administration was making full efforts to control riots.

I also looked up the communalism condom website and dug out a gem by Rahul Bose which now registers in my mind as the Gay Bong's Burden.
