Santosh: We have another revision of the insightful Babri Masjid comments, along with a creative definition of the word catalyst. These assertions are apparently facts, not opinions, leading me to wonder what opinions are like in the activist world. Response: Please read what Kumar Ketkar, editor of Loksatta has to say. Quote: The terrorist attack of March 1993 followed the destruction of the Babri Masjid, and large-scale communal riots ensued. But it must also be remembered that the January 1993 communal inferno was limited to Mumbai and the systematic killing of Muslims in the city. Since then, there has been a cycle of terrorist attacks almost every year, and every time there is this benumbing of mind and body. The only difference is in the methods used by the terrorists. It is difficult to say whether the "Hindu terrorism" is a reaction to "Muslim terrorism", or the whole cycle began with extremist Hindus destroying the Babri Masjid." Unquote
