Have been reading some of the posts on this issue, and yet again the strong religious sentiments do come to the fore!!
I mean, we really do have serious religious issue which is to be sorted out but it kind of simmers withing everyone! Sentiments run strong, but thankfully our democratic structure allows us to voice some of it and get away with some of it!!
I would like everyone to lay down some fundamentals, if they love their country. I am not a Hindu/Muslim/Christian/Parsi/Jain etc, I AM A INDIAN first!!! Once that is established, everything else comes second!
Not against Muslims or Hindus, but lets put some points across which is our current world situation: 1. Dubai: Moderate muslim dominated (rather Arab dominated) country, with a cosmo flavour, but come fasting for Ramadan, NO ONE should be found eating or drinking water while the fasting period is on! Does it happen in India, I mean, people can choose what they can do! Then why say, religous sentiments are curtailed? 2. While Saudi welcome global cutting-edge executive presence in the country, but everyone knows that if they are found not conforming to the Islamic laws of the land, they could be proscecuted and like how! Left for the dead, whomsoever they are! Women of other communities are to keep a low profile, have to be covered whatever they standing in soc is? Does that happen here?
Then why do certain communities feel its is Hindu dominated and hence they do not have a voice?
