INDIA To Lower the Flames of Hatred With 817 people already dead in the worst intercommunal strife in a decade, Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee belatedly visited the western state of Gujarat. The violence began in Godhra a month ago when a Muslim mob set fire to a train, killing 60 Hindu activists, provoking revenge attacks of murder, arson and looting. On the eve of the visit five Muslims died when their homes near Ahmedabad were torched.

In some places, police allow rioters to continue un-molested. One special target of Hindu fury: those who resist the hate. Last week, a mob stripped and then beat a Hindu woman to death for protecting her Muslim friend; another mob fatally stabbed a Muslim man for having married a Hindu.
