Loads of the Wipro guys here are from Bangalore.

I hope that colleagues and family are all safe.......

Any word on why this is happening? It's not the Islamic Boy Scouts' brigade again is it? B'stards whoever they are. Bombs in crowded places with innocents everywhere.

India seems to have far more problems with its Muslim minority than we have. Mind you they have a lot more people to keep tabs on.
Shame, I've been to Bangalore and generally liked it - plenty of decent boozers and a drinking culture unlike most of India.

I really wouldn’t call it a minority, 147 million Muslims live in India, that’s the 3rd largest population in the world (according to good old wiki). I bet they are, for the majority, as scared as the rest.

147 million divided by 1 billion is still a minority. All depends what the denominator is ....

Interesting that there are more Christians than Sikhs (again according to wiki) I didn't realise that Sikhism was such a minority.

Problems with Muslim minority. There's a turn up, who'd have thought it?

He he. Indeed.
Although to be fair it's a problem with a minority within the minority.

The goverment should give them more grants then. And adjust the laws to accomodate their needs.
