India is a secular country and every citizen have equal rites. Indians should seek to spread peace and harmony in india. RSS and other Hindu Right Wings are spreading Terrorism by making terror camps and giving terror training. They have bomb blasted in many parts of this country and these Cowards will blame Muslims.Infact Muslims are Not involved in any Attack and if unfotunately any muslim involved then He can't be a Muslim.Muslism should always stand to spread Pecae and Harmony. Why Indan Govt is Not taking stringent action against Hindu Terror organisations like RSS and others..If we want peace loving india then RSS and other Hindu Right Wings should be banned and its Terror memebers should be put in Jail...
