Answer 1

hi

democracy become an intolerant nation?

Ironically, average Indians have been more than tolerant when it comes to enduring a lengthy political -- and politicized -- thrust-and-parry on the topic, one that has been playing out incessantly on the country's some 400 TV news channels.But beyond the theatrics, the reality is that intolerance is a serious issue with important ramifications -- both social and economic.The debate itself has mushroomed out of two separate, disturbing trends. The first is a spate of murders of Indian writers. In August, the Kannada language scholar M. M. Kalburgi was gunned down by a visitor to his residence. Kalburgi was a well-known critic of idol-worshipping, a practice adopted by most Hindus. Kalburgi's death followed the murder of a Communist leader in February, as well as the 2013 killing of a writer who was committed to debunking superstitions.The second trend is that of an increasingly violent reaction to Indians who consume beef. In September, just a two-hour drive from New Delhi, a Muslim man was beaten to death by his Hindu neighbors. The reason? There was a rumor that a carcass of a cow was seen nearby. When an announcement was made at the local Hindu temple, emotions flared, a mob formed, a (Muslim) target was identified, and a horrific act turned into international news.
