When the Brits granted India independence in 1947, millions of people of a minority faith were cut off behind the borders-Hindus in Pakistan and Moslems in India. Hundreds of thousands were killed as they fled to safety across the borders. Analysis now says the Hindus actually killed more Moslems. Anyway, maybe after the smoke clears and the blood dries the geographic separation of the two will allow some semblance of dialog. That will take 40 years but its a geopolitical start."
