From today's San Jose Mercury News letters page:

India shows the way

I agree with Ratibhai Patel (Letters, May 21) that India is a secular state where people of all faiths can live in harmony.

Although sometimes some elements of any one faith try to uproot the other, they are an extreme minority.

In spite of the recent genocide in Gujarat, Kashmir and elsewhere, and in spite of discrimination against minorities, India remains the country of all faiths. One day it will lead the world in showing how people can live in harmony.
