Shocking, obviously when one is supposed to side with poor Christians whose houses are being destroyed and they are forced to flee their homes taking shelter in the forests, of course they are being ill treated to the extreme and it should be condemned as I would condemn this type of treatment given to anyone.

But if I am forced to take sides instead of blindly siding with the victims I would like to know the actual problem, so there, it all started as ethnic clashes between the Kandha tribe and the Pano tribe.

It seems that in the beginning Kandhas were at a slightly higher level then the Panos but both tribes lived in abject poverty. Kandas being 52 per cent and Panos being 30per cent out of which nearly 70 per cent now are Christians with the arrival of the missionaries, the Panos with the sole purpose of improving their lot converted into Christians, getting the benefit of education and raising their standard of living.

After getting educated they realized the benefits of being a scheduled caste so they want that benefit also, which is resented by the Kandhas.

This is what being sold to the world, I don’t know the actual facts but one thing is for sure all the political parties are out there making hay and ensuring that the fire are kept burning, after all it will election time soon.

Mr.L.K.Advani along with Ms. Sushma Swaraj met with the Church delegation on October 8 and after 38 days condemned the violence in Orissa. No problem, better late than never, the meeting was also attended by BJP leader Kulkarni and Rajya Sabha MP Chandan Mitra.

Interestingly the meeting was through the efforts of Swami Chidanand of Paramarth Niketan ,Rishikesh,who have business interests in US,Canada,Thailand and Singapore.

When the meeting was over Mr. Advani gifted everyone a copy of his book “My country My Life” and Swamiji gifted his book “Peace-For us, for our families, for our communities and for the world”.

There is a cry to ban the Bajrang Dal but first why not punish those who were responsible to maintain law and order in the area. The things went out of hand because the mob knew that they have been given free hand and there will be no punishment in the offing even if they burn anyone alive, so they did so.

Everyone is wrong and everyone is right and I am confused.
