Re: India Media role in contempt and derision about India

vayu tuvan, I understand both of them and did so in the very first read. That is not the point. The point is you could not understand one and it took me time to understand both of them when I did. If simplicity of expression is what matters as Ramana correctly pleads, then posts like that also do a ...

Regarding destruction of non-Muslim place of worship, I don't know whether any major place of worship was destroyed post-1947 and a mosque was built on it. Maybe I'm not aware of it. Nonetheless, attacks on places of worship (Raghunath Mandir, Akshardham, Sai baba temple, temples in Varanasi) are a...
