India braced for anarchy after fatal train attack
By Catherine Philp, South Asia Correspondent
INDIA faces the prospect of more mob violence after Hindu hardliners vowed last
night to build a temple on the disputed Ayodhya holy site.
This was despite an attack in which Muslims set fire to a train carrying Hindu
activists
from the site, killing at least 55 people, including 14 children.
Religious tension is rising against the background of the War on Terror and the
conflict with Pakistan over Kashmir which has a Muslim majority.
Across the state there were reports of sporadic unrest last night: two buses were
attacked and burnt in Ahmedabad. Elsewhere one man was killed and two others
injured in apparent revenge attacks.
The Indian Prime Minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, has appealed for calm and
cancelled a visit to this weekend’s Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in
Australia. In the town of Godhra, where the train was set on fire, a youth of 17 was
shot dead by police as they dispersed the mob. The streets were later deserted as
police enforced a curfew.
Thousands of Hindus had gathered in Ayodhya to plan the building of the temple on
the ruins of the 16th-century Babri mosque. Its destruction by a Hindu mob ten years
ago caused riots throughout India in which 3,000 died.
The Sabarmati Express was taking Hindu militants home to Gujarat from a
purification ceremony at the temple site when it was attacked. Police said that a mob
gathered outside the station as the passengers shouted Hindu slogans. As the train
left the station it was surrounded by about 2,000 people. They doused one carriage
with petrol and set it alight, trapping dozens of passengers inside.

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe
simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not
believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do
not believe in anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures. Do not
believe in anything merely on the authority of Teachers, elders or wise men.
Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it
agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all.
Then accept it and live up to it."
