Sir, the best part of Advani's trip to Pak was that he made it a point to worship in a Hindu temple there and with whatever reference he made to secularism, he delivered one message: Pak should be secular (and not "pseudo secular"). Pak has a bad track record of not adequately protecting all kinds of minorities. Attacking Shia muslim mosques is a regular happening. But then, what happened in Gujarat to innocent Muslims after whoever set the train on fire shows that we are not exactly protecting our minorities adequately. SM Hussain Hyderabad, India
No matter who gets killed/maimed it is reprehensible, be they the 59 innocent (mostly) women and children, be it the 1000+ who died after the train carnage, be it the 400,000+ who have been ethnically cleansed from the Kashmir Valley.
What is dumb is if we use our biases to view selectively the atrocities against Indians by Indians, in India -- bigoted religious views and activities are the culprits and all those so called religious leaders who fan the fire of hatred for vested interests. So please do not talk about minorities and majorities, start talking about Bharathiyas as our President says! Nation and its citizens come first before your religion, which is nothing more that a personal preference! Snap out of your prejudice.
