Muqtedar! You are utterly WRONG!

Muqtedar Khan, India is a secular State where freedom of religion and conscience, equality of all religions before law, right to speech is enshrined in the constitution.. just like in US.
You say about Gujrat riots.. why not say the rest of the truth too??

In India, 99% of all riots are started by Muslims and out of 87% of these riots, Hindus are the worst sufferers.
Muslims are the only instigators of all riots.

Gujrat happened because Muslims burnt a train wagon full of Hindu men women and children.
The responisiblity of these riots belongs to the muslims. They started it. If they had behaved as they should in a multicultural, secular civilised society, riots would be unheard of.. but of course, can that be expected of this community?

Secondly, Hindu women enjoy rights of divorce, Hindu Men cannot marry more than one wife and he cannot divorce her at will with talaq. Hindu women enjoy equality in courts and in all walks of life.They are not arrested at home in purdah or chapeRoned when they go out. They work, earn and drive independently. So, don't you dare to compare the rights of Hindu women with those of Muslim women.... .

Before you ... and bring in India Hindus and Kashmir, do some studying of other cultures and religions. It doesn't matter if you have a Ph.D but still you are wrong in many places!
