So is the US, what's your point?
The link says :
"Since Hinduism, India's dominant religion does not have the concept of blasphemy;[20][21] such laws are absent in tradition. In 1860, the British repealed blasphemy laws so that Christian missionaries could proselytize"
It goes on to mention hate speech laws applicable to religion, but that's quite different from blasphemy.

Comment Blasphemy isn't a crime in India (Score 1) 796

There is no crime of 'blasphemy' under Indian law, so I fail to see how this man could be charged with that. I couldn't find any mention of his arrest in the India media, although it might be that the blog referred to in TFA might have caught on to the news early. On the other hand it could be a matter of a group of 'rationalists' getting carried away after being threatened with arrest by some religious freaks.

This is why I've keep with https://www.tabbank.com/ for many years. Years ago when I was having money problems, I notice I never got overdraft charged, but my card got denied making a $5 purchase. It shocked me at first, but having a $5 transaction denied instead of getting hit with $25 overdraft fee is much better. My last bank hit me with a $100 overdraft fees due to delaying a deposit 12 hours. That right, that $25 overdraft fee keep the account in the red even after the deposit went though. Fucking Basters is what I call those banks.
