Why were only Hindu leaders detained ? Why was the "Prince" of Arcot not deported back to Mecca ? Why is that the Rediff used he phrase "Muslim oprganizations", but the phrase "Hindu outfits" ? Rediff is very mischievous and cheap.

Actually there is a mention of Muslim outfits in the 1st para. but I agree, the language used by the so-called journalist or author of this piece is not only insulting but vague and imprecise. The actual issue of the controversy is vague and open to debate.But aren't most of our journalists as vague and poor at their jobs? Articles are chosen through recommendation I presume, or half of the writing one sees on Radiff would be trashed by a good editor. As usual it's the money that talks. For a democratic country we are extremely intollerant of any issues to be discussed and sorted out. We prefer to shout and push everything under the proverbial carpet thinking that he who can impose himself on others is the winner. Instead we all lose out as we have lost another occasion to know more about the past and learn a little of the history that belongs to this nation and EVERYONE in it regardless of their religion, caste or class. Muslims instead of becoming sensitive should learn from history, most were forcibly converted to avoid death, why not accept it. Time and history cannot be challenged nor changed.
