I am a Mumbaikar and know Sena politics first hand. I know how intimidation is used to enforce their diktats. Disagree with them on something and be prepared to be beaten up or your shop vandalised. This is unfortunately used by the youth in Mumbai as a way of getting things done.

Two held for FB post questioning bandh for Bal Thackeray's funeral | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis A girl posted on facebook that the bandh called for Bal Thackeray's funeral was wrong. Another girl liked it. This apparently riled up the Shiv Senics who went onto trash the...

Children as they grow up learn that others may have opinions different to yours and that you cannot throw a tantrum when someone differs with your opinions. In the case of the girls, they had every right to have a differing opinion about the bandh call in Mumbai. I cannot see how saying that a...

Four votes for Mamta??? What sick joke is this?

That is why we need a Uniform Civil code. Too many inconsistencies because of various religious laws.

In some ways I think it is unfair to compare the Indian communities as a whole with other minority ethinic groups. Remember the Indian communities migrating to the UK have always been highly driven(businessmen ousted from Africa) and highly skilled(like more recent skilled workers) and are more...

He seems to suggest that if you are not eating halaal meat, you are eating diseased meat which is incorrect. Food safety laws exist to prevent this sort of stuff. You yourself rely on a 7th century text and do not accept any other viewpoints. Why should I believe you over an organisation like...
