The most dangerous people in the world are not the tiny minority instigating evil acts, but those who do the acts for them.

So in other words, many Indians were hired to kill other Indians on behalf of the enemy for a paycheck. Today, we have mercenaries in Africa, corporate armies from the western world, and unemployed men throughout the Middle East killing their own people - and people of other nations - for a paycheck.
