There is history and there is heresay... and again.. there are Buddhists and there are Buddhists...hence i would not comment on your specific examples...You are tweaking it so that only one side of the coin is seen...
Also note that am not talking of war crimes; try to understand, it is the aftermath...
would you say the same of india... erstwhile the states were fighting one another; this has stopped by unifying geographical boundaries...
the chord which unites Indians is the cultural one and culture ties will bound only if they have a common base... and that was why even the muslims and christians were able to identify with united India...(It was this chord in those days that united the hindus inspite of their wars...)
I am not portraying hindus as gullible and blubbering innocents; only that they were not treacherous, malicious, cunning, ruthless and perverts like muslims and christians...
History is one thing... knowing it is another... and understanding it is altogether different...
