Santosh,
A question not worthy of a man of letters. This is only the latest in
a long line of utterly clueless comments you have been making on this
subject.
To answer your question:
India is supposed to be avowed secular. Therefore what is happening in
India is not to be expected.
Most of the Persian Gulf countries are avowedly Islamic. They make no
bones about it. You go there knowing what the situation is. That is
not your country. You are a guest-worker there. Yet, having said that,
they make sensible concessions to people of other faiths. They
suppress fundamentalists who are against such concessions. They will
enforce law and order and punish any zealots of their faith who will
attack those of other religions. Not that such enforcement has been
necessary. The mere knowledge of the consequences prevent such
anti-religion attacks.
With your knowledge of scientific facts, how to gather them and arrive
at scientific conclusions, I am disappointed you don't make use of
such processes when asking such questions in matters of non-science.
Roland.
