…is not that India has a particularly bad record when it comes to religious freedom. India’s constitution provides greater protections for religious liberty than most, and despite the troubling trend of governmental officials increasingly refusing to condemn anti-minority harassment and violence, most Hindus get along with most non-Hindus in India most of the time.
