Buddhists protest in Ladakh over forceful conversion by Muslims

[Tshering22]

Actually Baltis are largely Shiites and mostly peaceful. @Ray sir can chime in here, perhaps.

Well this act of theirs is not peaceful at all.

Peace remains as long as no one interferes in your life intentionally.

The Shias of Ladakh are not that evangelists as the Sunnis, but because they control the trade and are economically better off than the Buddhists they have had an appeal to the Buddhist women into marrying them.

Such cases are quite normal and is what causes the rift.

As a class, the Shias of Kargil and Ladakh are calm.

This is a fully family case, sir. Evangelist or not, it'd be interesting to see how the media were to react if it was the Buddhists who had force converted these guys.

Burkha Dutt and Rajdeep Sardesai would be all over the TV yelling how evil Buddhists are and how Buddhism preaches extermination and hatred.

Indeed that would be an interesting case.

I believe Bakra Dutt has won some international award or the other for fearless reporting.

Sure she is a fearless reporter and also a game changer - remember the Nadira tapes?

Nowadays you start winning awards for calling all the bullshyte you want, mate.

She's known for a lot of idiocy and has run afoul of the military and security forces in J&K earlier too.
