Bali a Hindu majority place
Sandip Saha
We were flying over the Java-sea
blue water isolated a lonely island
far away the land could be seen
over that, white clouds in the sky.
Shortly we landed in Denpasar
our Muslim driver greeted us
he was our guide too
took us from temple to temple.
Statues of Mahabharata were
all around, it was hard to believe
we were in a Muslim country
why Muslim majority Kashmir is so hell?
Eighty seven percent of people in Bali is Hindu
but never ever there are killings of Muslims
why then Muslims butcher Hindus in Kashmir
they seem to be intolerant in Indian subcontinent.
Muslims traders from Arab invaded Indonesia
converted other religions people to Islam
what a surprise their brutality could not damage
the rich cultural heritage of Indonesia!
