Why single out Christians for their opinion? Do you even realize how offensive this is to individuals? If a hindu were to be apprehended for murdetrer somewhere in tennesse, this is like you being asked "as a Hindu, what is your view on the hindu who murdered mr. X?"
True.... but also SB's posing has some legit...
Isn't it the CH Covenant that any religious issue can be discussed only by those belonging to that religion?
In addition, don't we all feel a little awkward when a local newspaper prints in some bold letter about some arrest of an Indian or feel proud when it prints that "Mysore Venkatasubraminaswamy Gajalakshmi Monika" won the Spelling bee ?
That is typical minority sentiment. The Indian Christians and Muslims don't feel that way is proof enough that they dont feel like minorities and should not be given any more special preferences.

MELBOURNE: An Indian immigrant in New Zealand has been sentenced to life imprisonment for brutally murdering his wife following a retrial.
Laxman Rajamani, a 36-year-old accountant, was found guilty of murdering Chitralekha Ramakrishnan at their home in January, 2005.
The prosecution claimed that Rajamani, who was upset with his wife because she wanted to end their relationship, smashed her head with a brick before slashing her throat in the kitchen.
That's what I would say. :) No, I don't feel offended, in what other Brahmins do or not do, in the world. I don't care. :)
As the jury heard, over and over again, Pakistani Muslims and Indian Hindus are different. Muslim men can have many wives, Hindus just one.
Muslim women wear the burkha, Indians pride themselves on monogamy and the education of women.
But mostly this is an antipathy bred in the bone. Listen to Laxman Rajamani explaining why he didn't tell Cassin about the affair early on. "The thought of my wife's body, smell, smile and touch with another man was terrible ... My wife preferred a Pakistani man to me ... When I say shame you should try to understand. I had to tell [Cassin] something to cover up my shame.
So I see the real culprits are the parents who matched up this seemingly contradictory characters....
and of course, the ever present Pakisatani who is always there to bless a "Kafir" woman...
>>> you write as if that's a truism! my observation is quite the opposite.
But, a vast majority of H1Bs and the present young men in India are all clinging to the old traditional behavior and expecting to marry Sita Devis - while the erstwhile Sita Devis are imitating Ramya Devi and Trisha Devi
That is where the fault line lies.
Besides, I think both the guy and the girl in the news story were born and brought up in Bombay.....despite their South Indian Brahminical origin. I am sure he would not have resorted to killing and the girl not gone after a Pakisatani had they been brought up in SI.... what say ?
My parents were born and brought up in Bombay. They didn't go around killing anyone, least of all each other.
====> Absloutely correct.
The Tamilians who live in Mumbai, Pune and NI have the audacity to think of themselves to be more cosmopolitan, broad minded than people in Tamil Nadu.
And they are usually wrong.
>>> aside: are these people ethnic tamilians?
" do you think broad-minded people are more likely to commit murder?"
===> I did not say that.
I would say that the middle class Tamils in Tamil Nadu have certain cultural traits which seem to foster more self restraint. I think the Bollywood culture has a bad effect on Mumbai Tamils.
I met some Tamils who were brought up in places like Mumbai and Pune. These fellows look down on Tamils who grew up in Tamil Nadu. They claimed that the Tamils in Chennai were too conservative and less accepting of other cultures.
>>> aside: are these people ethnic tamilians?
====> I think the name Rajamani is a Tamil Name.
Sara Boji has finally found his match. This is going to be hugely entertaining. You guys please do NOT stop asking each other typical sarabojian questions!
PS: Isn't it great that I get paid while posting total and complete BS? I should be reported to the Department of Labor for violating the terms of my H-1B visa.

You mean the 1870s right? Not the 1970s for sure. Just about every Indian man on this forum with the exception of Heretic has proved to be an Indian "mullah" from the 1800s. I hardly know any Indian men, but if they're anything like the CH mullahs on this forum, it's a good thing I stopped dating Indian men a long time ago. Heck, what am I even doing on this site talking to a bunch of sexually repressed mullahs? It's time to move on from this disgusting forum.
"What was she doing praying before my god?"
What Laxman doesn't count on, that grotesque morning of Saturday, January 14, with the body still in their bed, the petrol waiting for the match, and the ticket in his wallet, is the call from India. His father takes charge: "You should've called the cops. I don't want my name ruined in India. What will people think?" Immediately the well-trained son obeys - so calmly at first the policeman doesn't believe him.
If you donot mind, can you tell me what do you do for a living?
