Letter: A tolerant religion

Sir: Your Delhi correspondent, Tim McGirk, should get a grip on himself to stop him branding the RSS and other Hindu organisations as 'neo-fascists' (26 February). Ahead of the Hindu organisations are the fanatical Muslim organisations in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and other Muslim countries.

India is a Hindu country where the 120 million Muslims live in relative peace. There are not many Hundus left in Pakistan and Bangladesh. We, the Hindus, are not stopping the Muslims from emigrating to Pakistan if they think they would be better off in a Muslim state. Hinduism is the oldest and most tolerant of all religons.

Yours sincerely,

H. N. PANDEY
