Iqbal, that's laughable. It was Mohandas Ghandi who pointed out that the line between good and evil runs right through the middle of each person's heart and is not some geopolitical demarcation line between India and Western Civilisation. gci.gospelcom.net <The line between good and evil passes not between principalities and powers, but oscillates within the human heart. And even the most rational approach to ethics is defenseless if there isn't the will to do what is right.

You go on about Auschwitz, but that's just one of hordes of genocidal efforts around the world. The Germans were just very efficient, organized and capable.
That fact is that India is a hovel of a place. But the good thing is that they vote to be poor. Nobody is making them. When they finally figure out that the British Disease of Big Government, Marxism, Unions and Bureaucracy are the problem, not the solution, they might vote for secularism in government, private enterprise, capitalism, freedom and borders open to trade. Then, the creative energy and desire for a better life will make India blossom.
Until then, it's a matter of poverty, dirt and squalor.
India booted out the British and the good aspects of the British Empire, but kept the bad parts. Half a century of celebrating independence hasn't seen much progress.
On the mass murder business, you do know that India is nuclear bomb state now?
