This thread is about the lack of religious tolerance in the countries named in the first post, if you want to comment on India's "intrinsic intolerance" please feel free to post on the innumerable number of threads that have been posted on India's "intolerance".
Can't tolerate? You feel offended that India's not on the list? Your nationalism is extremely shallow.
India is based on secular principles, irrespective how well we have enforced it, the fact remains that it would always be considered far more tolerant than a nation based on religious lines.
Realise that, as an Indian, i'm far more knowledgeable on India's problems than you. About the caste system, you do know that it is illegal? You do know that there are quotas in place in all levels of education/employment to better the lives of India's "lower" castes? Obviously not.
You're right, however, instead of bashing the other country, Pakistanis (and Indians) would be better served to find answers to their problems by engaging in a debate, instead of turning every thread into a bash-India forum. That is the point almost all Indian members have been making.
What I cannot tolerate however, is the notion that India is to be regarded as tolerant just because it did not appear on the list (like Israel).

Realise that as long as the caste system remains, and as long as people are condemned to the gutters just because they were born into a certain family, you will be regarded as intrinsically intolerant.

In conclusion, neither of us should be happy about the situation in our respective states
