Where Are They?

So it seems that prejudice against hindus in pakistan is as much or maybe more than prejudice against muslims in india.

its a sad thing when people are picked up, especially of the minoritiy community on the basis of suspicion and are not released even when no evidence is found against them. this is as true for india as it is for pakistan. except that in india, hindus are also regularly picked up.

mushy going to temples and proclaiming that all people are equal in pakistan is all hogwash if he cannot control his own security agencies that regularly pick on minorities.

rgds,

devkant.
