Pravin Togadiya, general secretary of the VHP, warns that he can see Hindu sentiment getting even more out of hand. Said one rioter in Ahmadabad, capital of Gujarat, as he watched his comrades pillage a cluster of Muslim homes: "We want to make sure the Muslims never come back."

It has moved far beyond the movie, which itself is a rather boring, clichéd piece of film-flam. Howard embraced practically every heart-tugging Hollywood tradition to make a film not only lacking historical accuracy, but more importantly lacking conviction and ingenuity. The performances...
