See the tragedy of this rissue...Muslims are discriminated in getting houses in metro areas...None of the politician will make it a issue although it is a issue with those Muslims who are genuinely love our nation and not so anti national...Neither Gov not any Muslim leaders does not have time to raise this geniine issue with Gov or society but if a terrorist is hanged, it become an issue for our Muslim and secular leaders...And this kind of situations gives support to both radical Hindu people/Groups ( Somewhat like me...)....as well as radical Islamist who gets limelight..
Again, your analysis ignores the deep historic contexts behind these developments. Fact is that before Thackeray's rise Mumbai was moving more on a conflict of socialism vs capitalism conflice- mill hands strikes, rise of Datta Samant etc. had nothing to do with religion. While hindu right wing trends were there, they were in the background. The destiny of Bombay was heading away from religious polarization.
And then a devious politician called Bal Thackeray emerged and defitintively turned it into a Hindu/ Muslim issue. During the riots muslims were targeted and police were made to standby without support. And in the process people like Dawood and Memon who had some power because of their criminal links became Robin Hood heroes to muslims who had no one to protect them, It is by making sure that the police and government does its work that this problem is solved.
