Come, come.. is that any manner of response?
If you dont agree with me, you could at the very least present an argument, rather than throw out a blanket insult.
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!
For instance, Ive read news reports of churches ostracisising even their own congregants for sending their children outside the village for education, in south India. This was because they didnt attend the churches school. Ill provide a link as soon as I find it..
Now, of course, you could reply to me, by posting reports of so called 'hindu' atrocities and such, which the leftist media abounds with, and lives off of... but it would be far more educational for me if you explained why my statement earlier was wrong.
In my opinion, in matters of proselytisation and basic attitudes to other religions church and mosque are not so different.
(If you discount that so far in the present century there are not so many holy commandments to kill infidels from the church, while there are a few from the mosque).
I understand that it might be annoying and troublesome for you to type out a response. But id appreciate it if you were able to find a moment to.

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!)
