This may not be with every Pakistani, but it is becoming an accepted fact with the majority.Situation in IndiaThe recent bombings in New Delhi, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Jaipur were entirely the handiwork of Indian Muslim nationals and not foreign mercenaries, as used to be few years back. The terrorism earlier perpetuated in the name of Azadi for Kashmir has now metamorphosed into fight for the Muslim cause in a Hindu-majority nation. Socio economic deprivation and illiteracy have generated resentment amongst Muslims and their being seen with a skeptical eye has made them ...
