I am glad you took it in right spirit, and thanks for that. I understand that being a minority anywhere is an uneasy situation. I have seen communal faces among my friends in the majority, and also among the minority. The good thing is that you will find fair minded people too everywhere. I have friends among minority and majority and some turned out to be communal in nature. I had to cut down my relation with these people to a minimum but it gives me immense pleasure that I keep it clear and loud that I do not entertain communalism. Coming to the point, you are right that communalism and regionalism is a reality in India. But I also know that it's not that bad in India, and for the posterity we have got to be non-communal and spread the message of tolerance.
