Venkat - 2 things. First I dont lie, second you have to be one to experience it. I know Hyderabad is way better than other Indian cities. I live in Malakpet, Hyderabad. I went to St. Pauls High School, Hyderguda Hyderabad. St. Mary's Junior College, Himayatnamagar. Deccan College of Eng. & Tech., Nampally. Both my parents are proferssors, my cousin in IAS, my grand fathers served Indian Services wihtout giving out details. Trust me I do not have an inferiority complex, if anytihg i should havea superiority complex, but trust me, there is a lot of hatred and bias amongst people that has been created and highlighete ever since the 'BJP' brought about the 'Babri Masjid-Ram Janambhoomi' in the early 90's. I see people talk about VOTE BANK politics and appeasement a lot on this forum. What about this party using this issue for their electoral benefits?? Dont you think they are the one's that sowed this seed of hate?? Anyways, like you I have many friends from all walks of life, my closest buddies are (hate to say this) hindus. I treat them like my brothers and they treat me like one too. But that does not take away the feeling of fear and hatred that I saw while growing up and still do. Anything that happens gets blamed on Muslims. Isnt that discrimination. How can you say there is no discriminiation in HYD wherethere is everywhere. Case in point the recent blasts. NOthing's proven but Muslims have been indicted on a whole. Prove me wrong. Jai HInd.
