Love Thy Neighbor

Most of the organized religions espouse similar principles, at least in the abstract. But, when one's economic life is at stake, those principles usually vanish. So it appears with Hindus and Christians in an obscure part of India. The Hindu group resents the Christian group because they (the Christians) get all the government jobs.

The two groups have been at war with each other for many years. The killing of a Hindu leader in August exacerbated the situation to such an extent that 30 Christians have been killed, the homes of 3,000 have been burned and 130 churches have been demolished. The Hindus command the Christians, "Embrace Hinduism, and your house will not be demolished. Otherwise, you will be killed, or you will be thrown out of the village.”

Waste of loss and by the wind grieved. Ghost come back again.
