We didn't arrive at this place of intolerance because of lack of arguments to support our beliefs. In fact all sides of the argument have very strong evidence

• Modi with his silence on this issue is seen as supportive of the religious hotheads in his party, and seen as intolerant towards minority,which he probably is.

• In all of this, the so-called intellectuals are totally out of touch with the reality of india assuming that they can figure out the truth of India through the social media chatter, ora Times-Now show, or the discussions over a singlemalt attheir socialite parties.

• Consciously or unconsciously, most people will soon fall into the trapof thead homium fallacy attacking the person, rather than the argument, judging the person rather than listening to the merits of the argument.. We all believe that arguments are made to be won, and not for exploring the truth.

• Taken to its extreme, this is the difficulty of being tolerant you have to agree at the outset that you can be wrong, and be willing to change your core belief, in light of a better argument and even adopt it.
