Hindu extremist organization and a member of ruling coalition Shiv Sena has opposed any peace talks with Pakistan, an Indian newspaper reported on Friday. A Shiv Sina MP Chandre Kant Khere taking part in discussion on Indo-Pak talks in the lower house of the Indian parliament leveling terrorism charges against Pakistan opposed talks between the two countries.

| #2 Gotta disagree with that one. A brownshirt's a brownshirt, whether he wears a turban or carries a trident. I don't see any difference between enforcing shariah and Hinduvta. I think we should tilt heavily toward the Indian side of the argument, but I'd have nothing to do with Shiv Sena and RSS. |

| #1 I don't think moral equivalencies work too well in the long-run, Fred. It wasn't Shiv Sena's derivatives that were responsible for aiding and abetting al-Qaeda; there is no RSS faction that is plotting to destroy the Pentagon. We should, therefore, tilt heavily to the Shiv Sena side of the argument. India gives us a key strategic location, a Democratic nation and a rising IT center. |
