Well written article with some beautiful examples of religious cross-fertilisation. Because of the recent train bombings in Mumbai, I suspect that the acrimony between Pakistan and India might heighten. This article is a reminder that the Pakistanis and Indians have more in common that can unite them than the differences that divide them.
it’s funny, i got this article a couple of days ago, and i thought it was even more relevant after the bombings, for the reasons you say.
