I have not said what you have written is untrue. But it is not the only truth. You are weaponising the tragedy of Kashmiri Hindus to inflame passions. And don't you dare call me Hinduphobic. Hinduism is not wallowing in hate. Hinduism is bigger than that, we are better than this
I challenge the author

How come India is the world's capital of remote back-office operations but can't find a way for its own MPs to attend Parliament remotely? More than two dozen countries have moved their House sessions online, why can't we?
