Mahesh, you made a very good point here.I'll post your exact question here "Do we need to see even the most despicable things that happen around us through a prism of caste, creed, religion, political parties, competition, business, sex, region, and so on?"...the answer to your question is "We Do". I know you must be thinking how proud I feel saying that,but I am not. Its disgusting to admit that their are some among us who dont mind a person being murdered, a girl being raped ,a child being molested, a person being burnt alive because he/she does not belong to their religion,caste or whatever that could separate them from each other. Being a Hindu i would have been proud to say that we hindus dont act like terrorists, we dont kill people,we dont rape girls but no,i cant say that anymore. To give an example, I hope you ,me and everyone else looks at the messages posted here. People are proud and ready to justify this massacre because it was done to keep "the muslims" in check,to tell them where they actually belong, who's country this actually is. How can we say we are a society which respects a fellow human. People want to cite examples of massacres done by muslims kings hundreds of years ago, fine if that justifies their philosophy of killing a fellow countrymen, what can i say. And thanks to all those who would start hurling abuses at me now.I dont want to belong in your category.

I just dont understand how can we justify the killing of a fellow Indian. Have we lost our basic human feelings and emotions.

Forget massacres 100s of years ago. Kashmir was only 20 years back. 500,000 hindus driven out. Short memory? What about repeated bomb blasts? Attack on Parliament? Hijacking of IA flight? 100 years back? Eat badam and read newspapers, you will solve your memory problem

Kashmir is altogether different issue. Go an get your facts right. It was never been seen as a part of india. For that matter, north-eastern states, I think you people don't even remember there names, has more killings in past few years. All naxalite belongs to hindu grps. So don't just remember other bomb blast. All these fanatics need to be terminated.

Naxalites belong to the Maoist groups. And they are avowed atheists! They don't fight for hindus or hinduism. They just fight for establishing a Maoist heartland in India. So you go and get your facts straight!
And yes, Kashmir was and will be part of india. Whatever Muslims deserved, they got it in the form of Pakistan And Bangladesh!

You had mentioned "ome among us who dont mind a person being murdered, a girl being raped ,a child being molested, a person being burnt alive because he/she does not belong to their religion,caste or whatever that could separate them from each other."
But the very fact that these issues are highlighted by Tehelkha and Outlook when it happens for one community is the reason for the outrage of the netizen public. If you see most of the people they dont question why Narendrad Modi is exposed. They are only questioning the ethics of the media.
