A teenage Hindu boy was shot dead and another was seriously injured in a mob attack after communal tensions flared up over allegations of Quran desecration in Pakistan's south Sindh province.
Witnesses said Dewan Kumar and his friend Avinash, both traders, were sipping tea at a stall in Mirpur Mathelo, in the main town of Ghotki, when they were attacked by a mob, protesting against the alleged desecration of the Quran by a Hindu man a day earlier.

The protesters burnt tyres, tried to ransack shops owned by Hindus and clashed with police. Most towns of Ghotki district remained closed on Wednesday and cities were deserted for the second consecutive day following the communal tensions.

Law enforcement agencies personnel arrested more than 150 people on charges of rioting in overnight raids. Large police contingents have been posted in 'sensitive' areas to protect Hindus.

Disgusting

Surprise, surprise...

This is absolutely disgusting. I've read that Hindus are treated really poorly in Pakistan. Imagine if the roles were reversed. Most Indians seem to have a tolerance for every religion.

I didn't say all Indians. I said most. You'll find violence everywhere in the world if you look hard enough.

India is predominantly Hindu which is a highly pluralistic and tolerant nation. Hindus accept all Gods and their society are open to people of all faiths. Pluralism and religious tolerance are central features of Hinduism and those ideas have long been practiced in India long before other nations did. Various religions and belief systems have coexisted peacefully in the Indian subcontinent for millenia until this tolerant and pluratistic nature of Hindu society has been abused by foreigners for their devious purposes. The Indian subcontinent was historically the least violent region in the world. Hindus never waged war against other nations. The only incidents of religious violence in India are fairly recent and have been caused by Muslims and other foreign religions wanting to dominate Hindu society.
