Prashant,

You say that

"If oil-wealth had not helped them, the entire Islamic world would have looked like Somalia and Sudan".

I say

"And if oil wealth had been given to hindus, their lot would not have been any better. So God gives wealth and prosperity to only those people who deserve it".

Another bitter truth.
