In Mumbai I grew up watching people take succour from other religions without losing faith in their own. I'm talking of the 70s and 80s. But now, divisive forces are killing that wonderful spirit.

First of all, there should not be any religion-oriented schooling. Then, there should be more emphasis on our apparently glorious past (not the epics, but historical facts). And we need to be taught to appreciate each other more, at individual level and among linguistic groups.

Those low lives had the guts to commit murder with a crowd of people watching. Leave alone being hanged for their crime they were sure they'd be out of jail in no time because of the backing of some politician.Khoty Mathurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09706537182743683089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230035528177800562.post-51033890836633954302011-11-11T01:34:43.196+13:002011-11-11T01:34:43.196+13:00It's not about what a country can do to you, i...It's not about what a country can do to you, it's more about what you can do for that country :)<br /><br />I think he gave up too easily!Purbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06345755953291104000noreply@blogger.com
