Just a couple of days back I was reading about an incident where a village girl was burnt alive by her neighbours because she had a relationship with a boy from a different caste. In another case, a boy’s hands and legs were chopped off by the residents for marrying a girl from their village. These are just two examples from a bagful of many more cases that occur every day.

Today's monotheistic patriarchal desert religions were not designed with the Internet in mind. In the sandy days of yore when Isaac and Ishmael were going their separate ways across Canaan, a RAM was something you sacrificed and Google was the noise that your enemies made as you slit their throats for worshipping the local animal deities. It’s safe to say that the ancient prophets probably didn’t envision their followers, three millennia on, hacking out their politics in the comments threads of liberal websites.
