Please correct me if you believe I am "putting words in your mouth" - that is words that you did not mean or intend to say when you made the above statement. You are saying that the "Hate Muslims and minorities" tactics of the "bjp rss" crowd is indistinguisahble from the pakistanis in their tactics of hate India politics. There is, in your mind a connection between the hate politics of a political party in India with the hate politics in Pakistan. If the above conclusions are correct, let me point out that this is a frequently expressed viewpoint in India, But I am yet to hear answers to the following that stem from the above conclusions 1. If Pakistani politicians hate India, is there anything wrong in Indian polticians hating Muslims? Are they not valid political viewpoints that must be put to vote? Pakistanis have reasons to hate India and Indians have reasons to hate Muslims. 2. If Indian politicans were to give up their politics of hate, what effect would that be expected to have on the politics of hate in Pakistan. In other words, what, in your view is the connection betwen Pakistan politics and Indian politics other than a superficial "strcutural similarity" in the need for hating something? I would be grateful if you could go further in answering thse questions that the usual blather I hear when I ask them to various people. shiv
