As is customary by now, Selma Cardoso/Carvalho is wrong.
Hindus are indeed singled out for humiliation BECAUSE
they are Hindus. There have been so many instances
of Hindu idols being confiscated (and perhaps trashed)
by the Saudi immigration authorities. This does not
negate the fact that non-Hindu Indians are also harassed
and humiliated by the Saudis.
All this is so well known that one can be ignorant
of it only if one has one's head up one's you-know-what.
Axiom for the day: people who assert that they do not
usually respond to or read what Rajan Parrikar writes
usually respond to and read what Rajan Parrikar writes.
