Nowhere left to pray: Hindu groups target Muslim sites in Gurgaon

The dwindling number of places available for the metropolis's Muslims are becoming religious battlefields

Until a few weeks ago, no one had given much thought to the car park outside sector 37 police station in Gurgaon, a satellite city to India's capital, Delhi. But for the last few Fridays the dusty, litter-strewn patch of concrete has become a religious battlefield.
