In Defence of the Faith - My Hate Speech
- 04 Mar 2015
The irresponsibility in this day and age, to exploit religious differences where none exist is both negligent and dangerous. ITV have done this by putting young Hindu adolescents in harm’s way.

Does it produce a beneficial outcome for both sides? It is an intriguing question whether such emotional pressure - what in daily parlance call emotional blackmail - is good for a strong relationship?
