I don't agree with your position, which seems to suggest it is OK to indulge in hate-speech based upon your own experiences at Tinsukiya, the Assam town where the indigenous Assamese are hard to find. That is where your admonition, or rhetorical question, IF two wrongs make a right, comes to mind. Does it?
