My wife teaches very small children at Noida and , coincidentally , just a week back she shared an incident of organising fancy dress competition in her class . Parents were free to decide what they wanted their child to be. While many children came dressed like birds and animals , it was surprising that a Muslim child turned up as Krishna.
Indians are like this only for ages always. Some times, in their belief, they were Vedic , sometimes pagans , sometimes Bodh, Jains and atheists, sometimes Muslims ,as well - they were never different from one another. This incident is normal and nothing unusual . Unusual would be refusing to accept even a headgear presented as an honor just because it is also worn by people of different faith. Fortunately such people are real minority in this great nation.
