Condolence Message:Pathetic India!!!!!!!!!!!! The Life of the person who is stuck beneath the debris is as important as that of india's prime minister and that of sonia gandhi. Let the politicians stay away from gujarat, even in these times of despair & grief they expect to get limelight and half of the policemen & officials are involved in providing security to these idiots instead of co-ordinating the rescue efforts.

Condolence Message:Fellow Gujaratis: I woke up on black friday morning with the news of earthquake in Gujarat. Since I was far physicially, could not imagine the horror immediately. Once I learned the devastation it has spread through out gujarat, I was speechless. My mind continuously wondered about the well being of people's health and wealth. I hope this tragedy bring our public servants including politicians and government agencies alike, a realization to put political rivalry aside and put greater good of human first in their act. I hope it gives a chance to our citizens to take upon all those corrupted and swipe our country to a new era of real democracy. Let those individuals know that if they do not stop putting their personal gains before public's, they shall be eraised from the political and social map. May our god or allah or christ be with us in time greatest need. May god give starngth and courage to people to affected area to revive from such tregedy to acheive new pinacle of success. May lord give peace to all how has lost their lieves and strangth to those how has servived. Every gujarati and every indian , I am sure stand with you for the moment need. Mercy my land lord, mercy.

Condolence Message:The suffering of Gujarat is serving as example to all developed and underdeveloped nations to remain vigilant towards natural calamities and that the citizens should be educated and steps should be taken to avoid the disasters and reduce the risk factors. Such natural calamities are beyond the control of human beings but there are means to reduce risk to certain extent. May god be with all those suffering and those who have lost their lives be their souls rest in peace. Let us pray for them. Let us unite for responsible government and to face such natural calamities with logical courage, agility and with proper resources amalgamated for this purpose. We have thus decided to launch "Gujaratcalamity.com" a non-commercial site for multi-purposes including educating, interacting and moreover as a platform for voicing concern on this issue and other natural calamities prevailent in Gujarat. We invite views, concerns and proper guidelines to help us to develop a site which serves the cause. Basically intended to highlight the aftermath effects of earthquake and ignoramus attitude of our common people and the caretakers. We anticipate more serious problems concerning the future of poor and orphans will be needing attention.Let us show that we are with them in this hour of crisis, in thought at least if not in person.

Condolence Message:Shocking, scare and pain is all that comes to mind, when one sees what happened in Gujarat quake. It's not too late to forget that all are created by One GOD. So, religion should never come in between the countrymen.So, lets unite and pray for the departed and for the early recovery of the injured. It would be a great day when rulers of India realise the value of life. If one person dies in US, the whole country is concerned. But, if ONE LAC die in India : WHO IS CONCERNED??? SO, countrymen, lets donate for the needy and make them have a normal life as before. We, at the SIUE UNIVERSITY in US are also raising funds like Wayne univ(appreciated). There are lacs of Indians here in US. Even if one contributes a low sum of $10, then don't forget, it will be a great thing. What you give is not important, when and how you give is important. The time is now. Let's pray for the best for INDIA. - "Jaare Jahan se acha Hindustaan hamare" -
