Hindu prosecuted for hate speech in India

We read:

"Police in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday arrested Varun Gandhi, a great-grandson of the country's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, over allegations he made inflammatory comments against Muslims.

A speech in early March by Gandhi has been widely played in the local media in which he allegedly threatens to cut off the hands of those who harm Hindus, and crudely compares a rival Muslim candidate to Osama Bin Laden.

Looks like India is setting an example of one law for all. A bit different from America, where Christians get attacked for what they say but Muslims can say anything they like.

Neither statent is very radical, though. Threatening retaliation against attackers is surely as old as the hills. But Hindu/Muslim tensions are a major problem in India and lead to many deaths so I suppose one can understand the Indian government's wish to put a cork in it.
