> Do we think it wise to instead get into a discussion of geopolitics?

I don't think that is anyone's itention. It has been pointed out that this religious hate which has smoldered in India for so long has not sparked up again in a 'geopolitical' void. People know instantly what is happening to their family on the other side of the world nowadays and they are disturbed. The troubles which have arisen in India have much to do with the proposed building of a temple on the sight of a former mosque (sounds familiar). But to pin it solely to this cause is naive, to disregard cause and effect and the pass-the-parcel of hate, but most importantly to ignore each and every person's role in all of this is to make yourself powerless.
I don't know the people who have paid so terribly for violence someone else incurred, but they are nonetheless my brothers and sisters. I don't subscribe to any dogma, but I believe.
The innocence and freedom of youth is being poisoned by petty adults wrangling as to whose god a certain hill belongs to, while children intrinsically understand how we all stem from a common seed.
