Hindus to Be Required to Wear Label By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Filed at 9:24 a.m. ET KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Afghanistan's Taliban rulers -- already isolated by their harsh brand of Islam and poor treatment of women -- announced plans to make Hindus wear an identity label on their clothing to distinguish them from Muslims. The hardline Taliban regime that controls 95 percent of this poor Central Asian state plans to enforce the edict soon, Mohammed Wali, religious police minister, told The Associated Press on Tuesday. An exact date was not set, he said. The law will also make it mandatory for Hindu women to veil themselves -- just like Muslim women of Afghanistan, Wali said. The edict -- reminiscent of the yellow Star of David that Jews were forced to wear in Nazi Germany -- prompted an angry statement from Hindu-dominated India. nytimes.com
