I'm going to be showing my ignorance of things Indian here. What does "Irani" refer to (not "Iranian," I assume)? And, why the juxtaposition of Hindu (I assume "caste" is meant, not "cast"?) and Muslim (God Is Great) themes? (I think I can guess, but I'm not going to risk embarassing myself by doing it in public.)
