Indians’ tolerance for all faiths comes in for praise in US cableTribune News Service
New Delhi, December 18More leaks on Saturday of diplomatic cables from the US Embassy in New Delhi turned out to be music for Indian ears.

While risks of isolated cases of sectsrian remained, the country’s traditions of communal co-habitation and non-violent political protest have stood firm again global trends.
Yet another cable held that separatism and religious extremism have little appeal to Indian Muslims. The then US envoy David Mulford said in the cable that the vast majority of the Muslims remained committed to the Indian state.
