[Reader-list] Amaranth Yatra

[Partha Dasgupta]

Hi Aditya,

It's interesting that while looking at the mail from Murtaza, the
individual efforts from Muslim people does not count.

However, the individual activities of terrorists becomes the grounds
to claim "The reality is Muslims are shit scared".

It is not just Kashmiri Muslims who've been brainwashed. In this
unending cycle of hate, the purpose has been forgotten behind the need
for revenge and counter action.

And your wordings seem to equate "laks of Hindu Pilgrims" to "The
common citizens of this country".

Rgds, Partha
