This is realy heartbreaking to hear that things like this happen in INDIA. The author himself made a rule not to live in a Hindu locality, so what he saw in mumbai was just his reflection. He has nowhere said that he didn't tried to go for a Muslim loacality, his finances drew him to a Hindu locality. Actually you should not prioritize like this. People prefer to live in localities of their religion may be coz they find them familiar. But making such rules, on both parts, author, and kandivili public, is not fair. I belong to a Hindu family and we rented our house in Rajasthan to a muslim family. We have very good relations. Our relations maintained even after they left. Even after all this I am hopefull that things are changing and will continue to do so, for the better. Sorry for addressing people by religions(I hate this). But this article needed this. Live and Let Live. ENJOY and LET ENJOY
