Biju have you checked how many Hindus had their names deleted? May I put it to you that when a Christian or Muslim finds his name absent it is "minority discrimination". When a Hindu finds his name absent - it is Indian inefficiency and corruption. Without saying that there is no discrimination, I must point out that the tactic used by Christianity and Islam, throughout history is to continuouly allege discrimination and play victim. By design Chriatianity and Islam are always under attack as evidenced by the ever present stories of discsimination. To me this might be another case of crying "wolf" as usual. shiv
