No, you couldn't actually. Nothing in Pakistan has happened, like in Gujerat. Sectarian violence has occurred between some Sunni radicals and Shias, but these are very minor in comparison.
Dear Sir, Killing people of other faiths is unfortunate but at times inevitable, unavoidable, unstoppable.. Both sides at times because of impatience, misunderstandings, the need to assert, frustrations etc. give went to a very violent form of expression.. which is condemnable...
if the other retaliates in self-defence then it is acceptable,.. but if other tries to payback in the same coin.. then to my conscience it still appears justifiable but at the same time only the guilty/perpetrators must be fought against.. the innocents must be untouched...
yet at the same time.. as much as I try to justify I am reminded of our founding father's quote..An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind...
yet again the very venerable Hazrat Chisti sahab said
"That man is a true devotee of Almighty Allah, who resigns with pleasure to the misfortune that comes from his beloved (Almighty Allah)."
But Sir I hope you realise
India is a more intolerant society than Pakistan.
dear sir, I have not had a chance of visiting Pakistan.. and from the descriptions I hear from Pakistanis.. it is a paradise on earth rivalling my own country's standing as depicted by Sufi Amir Khusro(May he bless us all, the believer and the infidel)...
From the news posted by media I concur their are problems, issues which threaten the status of the paradise of my own country...
Of that there's little doubt..Once you remove the cloak the Brahmin dominated government is trying to put over the intolerance that exists in reality.
Dear sir one must not have doubt in the impermanence and mysteries of our ever-changing world esp without having first hand knowledge, in possessing one also one must realise that still this world is delusional .. what appears to our intellect or senses is generally coloured/biased...
Dear Sir having lived in India, I can safely vouch that there are many divisions in Brahmin communties.. and they getting along is at times akin to asking a Hindustani RSS supporter getting along with a Le-T supporter..
They generally do not inter-marry and each seeks to assert one's dominance esp in the religious world, politics etc...
The most orthodox, rigid and considered the purest are the Namboothri Brahmins of Kerala the custodians of the Badrinath temple..
Even in them they have 10 classes with each class having a seperate duty and specialisation.. a further classification in these classes exist as well.. this special class is called the exalted eight families..
Namboothri like other several 100 Brahmin communities.. have no similarities in culture or traditions, religious practises with each other.. they all have a unique culture, tradition etc.. except the tradition of not marrying in other Brahminical Communities..
That is a Namboothri Brahmin will never marry a non-Namboothri Brahmin or otherwise(generally) .

Gujerat was just one demonstration of this, and it wasn't even the fault of any Muslims! That's religious tension for you!
Sir as I sincerely believe that there are always to sides to a coin.. yet irresp of who is guilty.. the conduct of Gujaratis and State admn and machinery.. was shameful and unforgivable...
One must realise that such acts only fuel anger and hate.. and other such riots..
My heart goes out to all the innocent Muslims and also to the condemned to hell perpetrators.. may God forgive them for such inexcusable evil deeds..
The need for a law protecting Dalits is another example of the extent of intolerance within Bharati society.
Dear Sir,quota system exists in Pakistan too.. and I believe the need to do so as deemed fit by the govt of your country is to give a chance to all and remove imbalance in participation...
Dalits have wrongly and inhumanely been condemned to a life of hardships by their fellow "high caste" brethren.. whether the high caste be an atheist, Chrisitan, Hindu, Muslim or Sikh such a deep and widespread social malaise is not easy to eradicate.. to lessen the damage done by decades of inhumane caste system the hon. Constitution famed by the famous "Dalit" BR Ambedkar seeked to provide opportunities to the Dalits,though one may consider such to be rather harsh punishment to an avg Indian by taking away deserved opportunities, to grant the low-self-esteemed Dalits a chance to rise in life and participate in the nations progress and running..
Dear Sir after 60 years of Independence.. the Dalits have not been able to capitalize on this great opportunity and even the political parties formed by dalits for dalit upliftment have failed them..
Most people argue that each year govt increases the quota to get all important dalit votes(as most educated middle class people wrongly never exercise their adult franchise) thereby creating situations where the all important jobs vital to the smooth running of nation are handed over to less than capable but individuals and rob the deserving of their chance..
These laws have failed for the past 60 years.. and increasing the quota to at times more than 50% is seen as a populist measure.. furhther some states have a lower population of Dalits thereby giving them an unfair advantage and vice versa(Quotas are nationally set)...
Thereby the laws for Dalits existed as a social countermeasure and not a one due to religious intolerance in my humble opinion..
