    News Hindu temple destroyed, set on fire by mob in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province

    I agree with a lot of stuff you said. But India doesn't really have a left wing or a right wing in the Western sense of the word. E.g. It was the so-called right wing which did not object to decriminalizing homosexuality in India. This is something the so-called left wing wouldn't touch. I...

    News Hindu temple destroyed, set on fire by mob in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province
