Wiser with age

Sir, — When the women, who participated in looting the hapless and the oppressed grow older, the haunting psychological trauma will guide them to sanity. There will be many children — both Hindu and Muslim — who will develop a broader mind as they grow up. There will be a smaller proportion that swears on vengeance.

They will realise that there is nothing superior in being a Hindu and nothing inferior in being otherwise. They will define — not God, not religion, not love — but tolerance as humaneness.
