Tolerance

For quite some time now, the sociological landscape of India has been streaked with an intolerant red.
All of us have been hearing about the opposition to films like Fire, Water etc.; about the vandalism in Hussains picture gallery; attacks on historians for their views (rather facts) about some reverd men of yore and more recently about christians' oppostion to the movie "Sins". I always took it as a frustrated action of fringe groups - you felt bad about it but there was nothing you could do about it.
Today, I realize yet again how much damage our collective psyche has taken when I learnt that the Sikh community has reacted adversely to a scene in the recent movie "Shabd". Sikhs - the quientessential jovial "papajis", loved by all for their rustic humour and in equal breath admired for their bravely, chivalry, have been offended by an innocent scene.
What does one say?
