>>Hope this clarifies your query. No, it's not. This can only result from proxy or shallow journalism. >>It would be like Egypt appointing a Coptic Christian to be its army chief of staff. Really? >>We will know that Egypt went the route of Pakistan and not India. As far as I can see socio-political and socio-religious situation in my country and whatever I can gather the one in Egypt from a distance and through news media &c, I would say that the comparison is absurd, if not worse. The two countries are so different in these aspects that I don't really think Egypt ever started this way. I never said he didn't appreciate India's democracy. That's not even the point. I've nothing personal against the author. His son never ate my lunch in school. It's just the incoherent nature of article that annoyed me and the fact that NYT published it.
