Mr Aryaputra, My father was a devout Hindu, read Geeta to his dying day but he wore a Sikh bracelet on his wrist till his last day and it di not make him a lesser Hindu. Our house was set on fire during the worst phase of Hindu Sikh tensions in Punjab and he was approached by Trishul brandishing young men who offered to avenge us by setting the sikh homes on fire. I remember what he said, ``Our walls are common, if you set their homes on fire, my house will burn too and one day, there children and mine too will pay for our mistakes.'' But this is a lesson too profound for blind men who cannot see beyond their own hatred.
