being in a religious-centric nation, you have to understand how our countries work.
india, is by and large very cosmopolitan, especially now, with the increase in expats living and settling here.
we are very tolerant of all religions, and yes, there are fanatics, and extremists.
our enemity with pakistan has been with us for years on end.
post independence, post border issues with kashmir, the enemity has been reaching, or has reached it's boiling point.
you are all aware of 26/11 and the terrorist attacks in india. the terrorists were from pakistan, however, we have strongly stated 'terrorists have no religion'. that doesn't mean we are going to be super fond of our pakistani counterparts.
in a nation where religion is number one priority, you are going to have many battles, many controversies, many inter-religious fights. the pakistani extremists will attack the hindu extremists and so on and so forth. political parties.. such as
Shiv Sena who are very hinducentric. however, they have been very tolerant of the muslims in India, but do not condone pakistani activities.
religion unfortunately, makes us a very volatile nation. you do not know when hindu/pakistani people will attack next.
another very famous religious crime:
Babri Mosque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Which led to:
Bombay Riots - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
so you can see how volatile our nations are. and somehow we still manage to live peacefully. that's not saying that we won't erupt any second. both nations are ticking timebombs, which have already exploded multiple times.
