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

[taraprakash]

Just to add a bit, Congress was the biggest contributor to the rise of BJP. 
Rajeev gandhi government did overturn the court verdict with the help of a 
new law. We should also remember Rajeev Gandhi also put the foundation stone 
at in Ayodhya and raked up a nonissue (vote bank politics).
Those who never stop abusing the left parties and never stop to endorse BJP 
at any cost should be reminded that it is after this BJP and communist 
parties of India came together to support a "National Front" government. 
They will probably come back again very soon.
