Dears, "TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE ONE RIGHT" said Mahatma Gandhi.
Lighting a match to a tinderbox is bad enough; trying to douse the fire with gasoline is worse. Will Kalinga [Orissa] produce another Ashoka? Or will we get another mini-Modi?? What we need to pray/work for is peace in the state that converted Ashoka to Buddhism. Asking Catholics to pray for catholics and hindus to pray for hindus is hardly the best way to go about it. The wrongs have to be either corrected or forgiven or both. Otherwise there can be no lasting peace. Religious leaders following the footsteps of politicians is hardly the best way to do it.

George, This is an obvious dangerous manipulation of the facts by the other political side in this mess. That is why it is doubly important for responsible organizations to report the facts on all sides rather than promote a partisan agenda. It is a pity therefore that the religious entity in Goa chose to present a one-sided picture that served their own agenda and purpose. This tribal area apparently is a hotbed of aggressive conversion and re-conversion efforts by both Christians and Hindus. Imagine two major religions literally battling with each other in the same battlefield to indoctrinate people in their competing esoteric versions of afterlife - simple people whose entire central concern is basic necessities such as food and shelter in this one life that they struggle to live.
