[Reader-list] India on a list of countries which have failed to protect its religious minorities adequately

[Rakesh Iyer]

Dear Shuddha,Murali and all

There is one more country which is not mentioned in that list. The country
which celebrates its' 62nd independence day, today, on 15th August 2009,
whose first PM had spoken of 'Tryst with destiny' on 15th August 1947, and
which has the third largest no. of Muslims in the world (after Indonesia and
Pakistan).

It's not an Islamic state (and the SC in legality did overrule the Hadith
and the Sharia by not allowing the triple talaq in the case of Shah Bano)

Please do remember this country, even though it's not a Muslim majority
country, because of the no. of Muslims living in it in sheer nos.

Regards

Rakesh
