RSS, VHP, Shiv Sena. These are Hindu fundamentalist organizations that believe strongly that India is supposed to be a "Hindu" state. Simply saying that "convince Muslims that we're not a threat" won't work. For every Islamic extremist in India there are two Hindu extremists. Most Hindus have a slightly "guarded" stand against Muslims. For any violent act a Muslim is targetted, whether he's a gangster or a simple lower/middle class worker does not matter. The problem is not just with Muslims in India. It's to do with a section of the Hindu community AND a section of the Muslim community. If we convince all Hindus AND all Muslims that they're not a threat to each other then terrorism in India will end. But that's too ideal even for Hindi movies.
