The author's experience maybe true. But this happens everywhere. I live in the UK. I have very close muslim and christian friends. Some sort of discrimination happens everywhere in the world. Greeks in London tend to live around one particular place. There are many north Indians in Wembley, and many south Indians in East Ham and Croydon, etc... Birds of the same feather flock together. Outside of India, we tend to discriminate bu region, rather than by religion (I think). It is true the extent of discrimination is greater in some cases, and yes you do need to make it known in public. But you also need to look at the vast majority of places where there is no discrimination... Giving it so much importance as a headline in rediff just gives it the feeling of being such a biiiig issue. Live and let live. We all love our friends irrespective of their caste creed and colour. Its our spirits which matter more. I am a Hindu, married to non-Hindu. I married an human...not a hindu, christian or muslim (though her parents dont think so!!). Jai Hind!
