Hidden Hindus salaam shandana bibi,

if yaadgasht serves, hindu is a persian word meaning ``dark one.`` derogatory? certainly. as i read your article my mind replaced the word ``hindu`` with the word ``nigger.`` any ``rehm`` as in ``rahim`` and ``rehman`` you may have been expressing for the plight of these ancient & spritual minorities was transformed into a grotesque parody.

better luck next time with the old ``research before writing an article`` part of the process..& lets stop using the disrespectful word ``hindu`` to refer to these people....(a moral i was hoping your article would have ended with)

regards,

hysait
