DWI, At this point of time, when, in all probability, some unknown potential murderer of a poor and innocent Nepali Muslim is sharpening his Khukuri at home and some known elements (let more reports about the vandalism come out, we will know they were really there !) who benefit from the increased chaos and destabilization are looking for just that chance, you could take holiday from rationality and immunity from the accountability to your failure to discourage the violence, or even worse, your sympathy to them. Does not sound right to me. We probably should talk when you return from the holiday :-) Communal harmony, even if it is only at a superficial level, is very precious to us becauseý becauseý it is among very few things left for popular justification for our very independence. The fact of the matter is that with the prolonged political chaos and violence we are rapidly losing the justification to our independence. The news of the release of Indian hostages by those who did not wait to butcher our fellowmen hurt us more. Whether a superior diplomacy, money, perceived threat to very large Muslim population of India or secular statehood of India or all of them were involved in their success is a separate story. To us, it was hurting to see that we aren't as much secure as India. So it is very sensitive and critical time. We need to save all our assets that is still intact. Communal harmony is one.
