Several explosions rocked a railway station and Hindu temple in the northeast Indian holy city of Varanasi on Tuesday, killing at least four people, police said.ROPMA.Authorities were trying to determine what caused the blasts, one of which occurred inside a train stopped at the city's railway station, said policeman Mohammed Hashmi. He did not know if there were any casualties.
A witness, Sunil Yadav, said a blast also occurred near the ticket counter in the crowded station waiting room. He described a scene of confusion, with people running and screaming, but he could not say whether anyone was killed.
Another blast shook the Sankat Mochan temple near dusk, when the shrine is ordinarily crowded with devout Hindus making a nightly offering to the monkey-god Hanuman, said Madan Mohan Pande, a police inspector in Varanasi.
He said at least four people were killed and 12 were wounded, but Indian TV stations reported that at least seven people had died.
India television channels reported that none of the idols in the temple were damaged in the blast.

Hindu Oppression of Brow people? What do u mean? Hindus themselves are brown you redneck!
Gandhi has influenced US Martin Luther King too. He set the stage for equal rights in the US years ago.
Dont prove your ignorance by writing whatever you can...please do so in rural Texas, not in mainstream media read by educated people.

let me take a second to bow before the enlightened one, as a resident of Texas, I'm not sure what one of those is, I often hear people talking about them while sipping a latte, and discussing hemp basket weaving at Starbucks, is it some sort of elite hippy coffee drinking club?

Can you name 10 Countries that you can go without getting in to trouble?
Hate and sarcasm yield nothing. Mockery and bellittleing will fetch you nothing. That might be the only solace you get, in your small beer drinking, flag waving, myphobic world.
And yes,it really is a fact that I actually take 4-5 hours on my TvIo as I dont have much time to waste an hour or to check crap round the clock.
Now, PhD meaning has been changed too. Good to know. Majority of the good americans bare the image of US centric retards just because of 1-2% of illeducated fanatics.
Good day guys,

WHEN all else fails(it does, anyways), blame liberals.
It is just pointed out in USA today that 79% of all the Academia is Liberal.
What does that mean? When you get education(not in a church or a madarsaa or a temple-BUT in a UNIVERSITY of a CENTER FOR HIGHER LEARNING) your mental horizons grow and you tend to see what the world is about, rather than sit with like minded people and be scared of the world.
P.S :Even liberals know how to get personal you RETARD.

there is no difference between you and the islamic millitants I guess.
If killing and genocide are the only solutions for everything, then I guess you and I would not have been here in the first palce.
May be the reason they run away is you, as they might have better things to do.
You havent met a liberal who can argue some sense in to you? That shows how many educated people you have met!
Violence can be answered by violence, just like US bombed Afghanistan.
Violence can be forced just based on misconception, just like in Iraq.
Violence can be preached without reason or logic, just like IMPROBULUS MAXIMUS.
Good one, and GOOD DAY.

Christian Institutions Face Increasing Number of Atrocities and Dacoities in Northern India
Yesu Christ Convent of the Franciscan Clarist nuns at Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, 50 kilometres from New Delhi, was looted, the Chapel desecrated and several nuns, novices and lay teachers were beaten up in the early hours of Thursday, 24t-h September. An armed gang of men smashed tl-ie Tabernacle, threw the Hosts onto the floor and tore out the Cross from the Chapel wall. After beating up and disabling the security guard the armed men terrorised the 30 nuns, novices and women teachers for three hours. Contents of every single room had been turned upside down, almirahs broken open and the clothes of the inmates strewn on the floor. The dacoits took away Rs. 15,000 and a gold ornament from one of the staff members, locked up the nuns inside the Chapel and went way.
Police Inspector Bhagwan Singh Shrivastava, who is investigating the case together with a team of detectives and forensic experts, has assured the press that he was confident of nabbing the dacoits soon. The Inspector also said that despite the desecration carried out in the Chapel, he "did not think that this was a case of right-wing Hindu fundamentalist violence against the Christian community'.
The Franciscan Clarist nuns run a school in the Convent premises. From the fact that the nuns had drawn Rs. 15,000 from the Bank the previous day, the assumption of Inspector Shrivastava that robbery could be the only motive behind this assault gives credibility to his statement that there was no anti-Christian sentiment behind this dastardly crime. The nuns also have confirmed that there was no sexual harrassment of any of the inmates. The Police suspect that the dacoits might have had a contact man who knew details of the Convent. Forensic experts have lifted some finger prints and are expected to make some breakthrough shortly. Further details of the investigation are awaited.
Church attacked in Jhabua District: Four days after the 23rd September rape of four nuns at Navapora village, a Catholic Church at Jamli, 11 kilometres from Pillawad in Jhabua District, was attacked by some unidentified assailants. A group of five or six armed men broke into the church at about 9.00 p.m. and demanded money from the resident priest, Fr. Edward Sorrel, after cutting the telephone and electricity lines. Hearing the shouts of Fr. Sorrel several villagers came running in, and the assailants had no choice but to run away. A case has been registered at the Raipurya Police Station.
This is the third attack on nuns, churches and church pro erty in the area within a period of six days. A similar attack took place in the Asha Niketan church premises, Bhopal, where a group of Hindus broke the fencing of the church property alleging it to be an encroachment, though the civil authorities confirm that the property belongs to the Church.
