My overreaction was intentional. I didn't want to waste time talking about India anymore. Even if the example was imperfect, I didn't think the example was core to the argument. I felt like if you were the chap sitting next to Forrest Gump on the bench and he told you, "life is like a box a chocolates...", that you would answer him, "You know, many brands of chocolate provide a product where a box will contain all of the same kind of chocolates. Others provide a clear 'map' to tell you exactly what you will get."
Yes. Very nice. But that's not the point.
But, what your last post sounds like is that you're arguing that it's enlightenment is impossible. There is no nirvana... everywhere in the world you will find either a homogeneous culture, or strife. So is your stance that we should just give up? We should either choose the path of ethnic cleansing, or just accept the fact that if we do choose a mixed society then holy wars and suicide bombers should be accepted as the norm?
