I feel the urge to inquire all these great indians here proclaiming they read this splendid journalistic account as a book, and it only verifies what they've known since forever: how morbidly discounted pakistani society is, and how magnificently communal india is; have they read maximum city by suketu mehta?? if india is really that solicitous towards various religions and its an all encompassing society; then how did the massacre in bombay came about, how about gujrat. the book vividly chronicles, how gangs after gangs of shiv-sena influenced hindus burned scores of muslims, and when asked about the sin a muslim committed to suffer a brutality as such, the answer came forth, "his biggest sin was that he was a muslim," even a muslim army major who was bringing food and medicinal assistance towards communities was burned along with his truck, abated by bombay police. Mr. Bal Thackrey publicly idolises Hitler, and have iterated numerously that muslims should be treated just as jews were in Nazi Germany. How come such a hate mongering monster is idolized in bombay?? I belong to karachi, and i know it unequivocally that political parties in karachi when rose against pakistani govt. were unceremoniously helped by Indian govt. specifically Mosad, in whatsoever way needed. I don't intend to claim that pakistani govt. are a group of saints at any imaginable stretch; these are political games played by every country to gain strategic importance, including pakistan, india, afghan, iran, china, russia, and of course usa; sadly bourgeois humans in such games are only merited as ambiguous numbers, that is the depth humanity has desecrated to. Anyway, we all should first look at our own selves, sanctifies our own souls and streets, before pointing our fingers towards others.
