Dear Goanetters, As per e-mails below, only Chrsitians are secular, true citizens of Indians, who open their doors to people of all communities, irrespective of caste and creed.
The cops were non-christians and under the influence of politicians, and hence would not protect christians.

The root cause of this madness is the tendency for even educated people to incite hatred against those who are different from them, at the drop of a hat - hatred that in the minds of criminals translates into atrocious action. We have to find an effective way to remove the cause. Cheers, Santosh
