Reading all the messages here and the sheer hatred between Hindus and Muslims. Realizing with total disappointment that the british have divided India so perfectly, I only have the words of Rabindranath Tagore to regain my unflinching hope in my country, my motherland, my life...my INDIA.
-------------------------- Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action-- Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. --------------------------
Don't ever fight for independence again if a foreign rule takes India away from you, if it will amount to this hatred in the end. Don't look at your neighbours and only embrace each other as INDIANS before you even ask each other for a name.
You are all part of one nation. I am proud to be an INDIAN and don't give yourself reasons to be otherwise.

I believe "hate" is a very strong word. Terrorism in the name of islam is a global phenomenon now. I don't want to get into the debate if those are true muslims or not. However it's true that some of the reasons they are fighting for receive widespread support from a large section of the muslim society, anywhere in the world. And thats where they get alienated from the rest of the society. I understand that not every muslim is a believer in the act of terrorism in the name of Islam, but then why don't they come out openly and do something against it. Generate a public opinion against these people who r misusing the name of Islam, strongly discourage any such activities in the society. Instead many of them come up with open support for anti-american sentiments or moral support for other so-called muslim suffering across the world. We all are fed up with the terrorism in the name of religion and we don't need to be member of RSS or VHP for that. Muslims in india protest the ties of india and america. Why? because George bush has killed many muslims in afghanistan and iraq. How is that related to India? No way. Stop being a muslim first and then an indian. The moment you put religion ahead of your religion ahead of nationality, the problem starts. Lets look at our national interest and not bother about what america has done to other muslim countries. Do the hindus blast a bomb in india if a hindu gets killed in saudi arabia? Do the sikhs blast a bomb in india if a sikh get
