India, Pakistán: Muerte por religión...

Diganta Sarkar at The New Horizon comments: “the religion first eats non-religious, then the other religions, then starts eating the self. Pakistan has already arrived at the last stage. India is still at the second one … but how long?”

Sarkar is right about Pakistan, But he should know that India is not at the second stage. It has never been, can never be. A few condemnable, isolated incidents by those who think they are being swallowed and believe that violent reaction is the way to prevent that from happening are being stretched to absurd lengths.
