The recent news about a Muslim girl being disallowed to rent a flat at Sanghvi Heights doesn't surprise me.
I know of previous instance where there was a strong resistance to rent out a flat to someone from Muslim . the bigotry shown was pretty shocking and saddening. People will give all sort of reasons to justify their prejudices. This kind of behaviour towards the minorities - whether it is people from other religions, other states (e.g North-East Indians), or other countries (African) is pretty rampant in all parts of India, and we need to have a systematic campaign to highlight the problems and slowly get people to be more open and tolerant towards the other.
