What's a claim without power to back it up? Such claims are rare anyways, and from your religious scholars. I don't see any military making such claims.

Whatever land India claims, you will find in the subcontinent itself. We don't bother with far away lands.

US is the country that upholds the ideals of freedom, free speech, human dignity. And it protects them with soft and hard power. There is no reason why such a weak disease will cause significant long term damage.

Bill Gates does a lot of good work in the field of healthcare. There would always be some (rare) side effects, when you treat people on a large scale. His detractors are mostly conspiracy theorists, who cherry pick and try to magnify every problem. The amount of good he does, is hard to match.

As per the latest news, the volume of Aazan has to be reduced during this pandemic. I don't see the reason for a temporary restriction, though. All faiths should be restricted from using loudspeakers. This should be common sense. I read you discussion. That went off in a different direction...

True. Makes it easy to get votes without working. Both communities have some real issues, too. That should improve with a stricter implementation of laws. Add to it some improvement in the levels of prosperity and education. But the most powerful agent of change would be time. So I'm not...

What I see is small scale violence between the groups. In my opinion, the far right amongst the Hindus and Muslims are extremely radical, and will clash. At least ideologically. Continued violence will lead to a heavy handed implementation of secular law (similar to the west), which would...

No one, regardless of faith, should be allowed to use loudspeakers in public. But I don't think any such law has been passed, as of now. It will take at least another 10 years.

I don't support any politician who plays religious politics. BJP is just one of the faces of the right wing powers, that are seeing a resurgence across the globe. It is just a phase. For centuries, Indians of various hues have tolerated, and largely ignored each other. Now that they are finally...

Renewables are the fuel of the future. Oil extraction will mainly be limited to production of chemicals, and some other niche uses. Electric cars have already started this trend. Most of the larger oil consumers(countries) are installing solar and wind plants at breakneck speeds. Oil producers...

Indians aren't that violent, in general. So you're unlikely to see anything more than a few cases of sporadic violence. Most of the hatred is limited to vocal mudslinging (mainly online), and some added real life discrimination. You will have to use statistics to get the real picture. How many...

Tarik Fateh was born in Pakistan, studied at University of Karachi, and was a journalist in Pakistan. Should add this, along with Indo - Canadian.

Neither of us have hard numbers to back our analysis. I won't deny that a significant chunk of middle class Indians would be right wing. But then, that's true around the world. I tried to cover that under the 'people with pathological hatred of others'.

This probably needs a detailed post. I will attempt it. (Disclaimer - I'm an atheist, medical doctor. So my words may appear biased to some folks.) Like many other countries in these times, India has a right wing government. Some of the supporters of this government are regular people, while...

You're correct about 'most'.

On this forum, it is mostly the Pakistanis who insult Arabs. OP trying to play the community card for a while now. One person can't change much.

Good work!!

Only the criminals got deported. They seem to care about the rule of law. They are deporting the criminals. No mass deportations.

Pakistanis trying to incite Arabs with multiple threads on this. I don't see any Arabs care about this disinformation campaign.

Global oil consumption will start declining in a few decades. The process has started with electric vehicles. It would make sense for oil producing nations to diversify, in the long run. Till then, India will prefer to trade with countries that offer favourable employment, or strategic...
