Perhaps im ignorant, but it does seem to me (from what I have seen of churches in the few (catholic) christian dominated areas in India), that the (catholic) church does very much behave in a radical and communal fashion!

Really? Like parts of Goa or Maharashtra? Nothing what you state happens there. To poitn out things happening inthe North-East shows ignorance ont he majestical diversity fo India -- the North-Easterners have a distinct culture from, say Delhities. But then, even Malayalees ahve a distinct culture from Delhities (sorry, I just think Delhi dudes are ruuuude!) and this was exacerbated by the FACT that the central government ignored the N-E for a long, loong time, causing them to think they WERE different.

But NOW, India's reaching out to its NE -- and one former guerilla group, the Bodos are now a political party IN POWER in Assam. Teh regional differences are the cause of the problems in the NE -- and that is also slowly dying down because India is becoming more culturaly inclusive -- even the South Indians no longer have a strong anti-Hindi drive, they want to live and let live (and also the South and west are doing far better than the North!)

"and this was exacerbated by the FACT that the central government ignored the N-E for a long, loong time, causing them to think they WERE different."

Oh now its the fault of Delhi that they "alienated" the NE eh? You sound so much like the Pakis talking about Kashmir.

You dont condemn the Christian terrorist activities backed by the Church and killings of innocent Hindus in NE and you hold Delhi responsilble for what is going there. Thats rich!
