I don't think the Hindu-Muslim thinger's gonna end any time soon. It hasn't since 1192, though there were interludes of what we, in hindsight, may term epochs of peace and prosperity but by and large? Nuh-uh... we've been too distrustful of each other and the clever Brits just tore that hole in our social fabric just a little wider :(
It's unnerving, the mess that's been there since centuries... but there are efforts being made, FOR A CHANGE and that's always a good thing, however political the motivations for those efforts may be.
I won't say God Bless India... it doesn't need blessings as much as it needs a lot of shaking up and just getting things sorted out. :)
Here's to India truly becoming a global power-centre in the forthcoming years and staying that way.
