	I strongly oppose all your statements. I am happy that the
points you made are not true but unhappy that some people like you
are distorting the facts. Can't understand why even educated people
go by emotions and illogical thought! 
	I am trying my best to avoid harsh words and explain the
facts properly. But your article makes so many ridiculous statements
that I don't know on what to clarify. Like the one saying that 40%
muslim girls in Hyderabad are married to Arabs. Check your sources
properly. I have more trust in your sources than you. They are
wrong.
	Don't make impressions about a whole community just going by
one person/ a few persons views and expressions. You will be wrong 
as you were about this.
	You will probably be slapped if you go to a Hyderabadi
Muslim and say that he is not a Indian. Atleast this is true for
most of the Muslims I know in Hyderabad. The others will just try
to ignore you.
	I have never heard that in Hyderabad they distributed 
sweets when India lost a Cricket match. But what I heard and
seen was when India plays any match there is a lot of support
from all quarters irrespective of the opponent. And especially
Hyderabadis are proud to have a Hyderabadi as the Captain of
India's Cricket team. And this applies to all Hyderabadi's.
	Your statements are as misguided as anyone who has
nothing much to expect from his future and keeps blaming anyone
and everyone he can possibly blame. And this kind of people get
pleasure and work(what they wanted and cannot for some reasons)
by accusing and hating the other community( here we consider
religions).
	And if anyone has to be blamed for the communal riots
we have in Hyderabad ( often before but reduced now-a-days
after NTR put the goons in jail and gave more power to the 
Police) both Hindu Hyderabadi's and Muslim Hyderabadi's have to
be blamed equally. But I agree that anti-Hindu feelings might lead
to pro-Pakistani feelings. But if there is a anti-Hindu feeling
that also means there is something wrong with the Hindus too.
Personally I have seen anti-Pakistani feeling than I have
seen Neutral-feeling( if I can be allowed to use this combination)
towards Pakistan among Hyderabadi Muslims.
	Whatever it might be I am strongly against calling a
Muslim from India anti-national because of his religion. The
recent Ayodhya crisis signifies that we Indians failed as
Indians. And Hindus failed as Hindus because I thought
that Hinduism taught tolerance. I some how cannot digest
the term Hindu-Militant, as a Indian and as a Hindu. A person
can only associate with one of those terms. Dare anyone teach 
me otherwise.
	If Hinduism says that what the Militants have done at
Ayodhya is right then I will differ with it. There were so
many ways to show ones displeasure, this was not one of them.
This action was neither correct as a Hindu nor is it as a 
Indian.
