Maybe that's true, but aren't also there "terrorist" attacks (pogroms)
by fundamentalist Hindus against Muslims?

Yes there are. The most shameful recent example were the 2002 riots in Gujarat state whose Chief Minister was an odious man named Narendra Modi, who allegedly directed the police to look the other way and give the rioters a free hand for a full 48 hours before acting to restore order. Here's their version of the events:

The truly sad part is this episode gave him enough Hindu votes to comfortably win the next state elections to the enormous frustration of progressive activists. It certainly makes you question the wisdom of universal suffrage..

Anyway you are not allowed to call these patriotic Indians as terrorists. That's a label reserved for Muslims!
