Secularism -- Indian style

http://www.expressindia.com/latest-news/Curfew-lifted-normalcy-returns-in-Kolkata/242155/

The Army was called out to stage flagmarch on the streets of central Kolkata where violence erupted during a three-hour shutdown called by a minority group on Wednesday.

The administration later imposed an eight-hour night curfew in violence-hit areas.

The shutdown was called to demand cancellation of the visa of Bangladeshi writer Tasleema Nasreen and to protest the Nandigram violence.

Which strange minority group could this be? Causing problems in oh-s0-secular bengal?
Parsees? Jews? Sikhs? Tamil-brahmins-living-in-kolkata? Marwadis-living-in-kolkata?

Why the squeamishness in saying "Mohammedan"?
