Border tense as infiltration, push-in escalate.

[Bilal9]

Don't forget that punjab wasn't always Islamic. Nor Sindh. Or Kashmir.

What was or wasn't is academic and studied in History classes.

What is - is important.

What I see is propagation of disrespect (and outright hatred) toward Indian Muslims from the highest levels of Indian govt. and unfortunately evidence of supporting pogroms on Indian Muslims with support of Indian Police. No sane person can support this.

A nation that does not stay together in belief (or religion) will suffer. This is the start of different ethnicities in India moving away from cow-belt Hindi-speaking Hindu Rashtra theory. Non-Hindi speaking States within India will veer farther and father away as a result. Which is the opposite of what cow-belters want, back to square one and the drawing board...

The idea that all Indians will one day all become Hindus is lunacy.

There is a reason people accept differing religious beliefs. Those reasons are intensely personal. Trying to convert people by force does not work. RSSers and Shivsena will find this out much to their chagrin.

Celebrate the diversity and differences in India - don't divide Indians any farther than they are.

Proves my point. Only insane people will want to go to Bangladesh

You are dancing with Sanghis railing against Bangladesh. Good going as a Pakistani.

So these people below (first two whom live/lived in Bangladesh and the third who has family roots there), who (among others are trying to help people all over the world, including the poor in Pakistan) are all insane?

Sir Fazle Hasan Abed KCMG (27 April 1936 - 20 December 2019) was the founder of BRAC, one of the world's largest non-governmental organizations. BRAC Pakistan has been in existence for at least two decades.

Muhammad Yunus (born 28 June 1940) is a Bangladesh social entrepreneur, banker, economist, and civil society leader who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for founding the Grameen Bank and pioneering the concepts of microcredit and microfinance. Grameen Pakistan has also been there for at least two decades.

Amartya Kumar Sen CH (Bengali: ˈɔmort:o ˈʃen; born 3 November 1933) is an Indian economist and philosopher, who since 1972 has taught and worked in the United Kingdom and the United States. He was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences[5] in 1998 and India's Bharat Ratna in 1999 for his work in welfare economics.

Where did you get these stories?

If you seriously believe that these are true, then we cannot have a discussion. There is too much difference in our premises; it is unlikely that we can converge.

Huge swathes of downstream muddled "chinese whispers" game are found on this subforum.

If this is the case, then tell your govt. to free 16,000 square Km Kashmir valley(200 times smaller than India) with 8 million Muslims(density more than India). It will create peace between India and Pakistan and India will be saved from a lot of troubles.

RSS or not, even a lunatic Indian politician will not support giving away Kashmir. It is less for land but much and much for water. Kashmir is the source of most of the major rivers that flow to Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Relinquishing this water controlling point to Pakistan will cause the ringing of India's death knell.

The source of river Ganges (Padma) is also Kashmir, probably in Manosh Sarobar. Even Brahmaputra starts in Kashmir on the other side of Himalaya.

Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen on Wednesday described Indian Border Security Force’s (BSF) attempt to push in a mentally challenged Indian citizen to Bangladesh through Feni River bordering area as unexpected.

He conveyed the message to Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh Riva Ganguly Das when she met him to hand over more medical assistance for Bangladesh to fight COVID-19.

“Such incident might have adverse impact on friendly relationship between the two countries,” he said.

The Foreign Minister urged the Indian High Commissioner to alert the BSF so that such incident does not take place in future.

Dr Momen requested the Indian High Commissioner to take required steps so that trucks laden with imported goods from India, stuck at Petrapol border, can enter Bangladesh quickly.

He said Bangladeshi importers are facing losses as the trucks were stuck with imported goods.

Minister Momen also emphasised resolving the export and import complications of businessmen from both countries and urged the Indian High Commissioner to make an arrangement to take back 61 Indian truck drivers stuck in Bangladesh as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Indian High Commissioner lauded Bangladesh’s proposal of providing financial assistance equivalent to six months’ salaries for the expatriate workers of both countries.

Dr Momen thanked the Indian government for assisting the process of bringing back the stranded Bangladeshi citizens from India during the coronavirus pandemic.

Only some Hindus want a Hindu Rashtra. But most Indians are nationalists, so you won't see any distancing any time soon.
In fact, people are rapidly urbanising, and the major urban areas are cosmopolitan.
Even a secular government in the centre would still further our nationalistic interests.
And while any discrimination against any faith is condemnable, you're misjudging the extent of it.
People are secularising fast, and with time and prosperity , the lines between the communities will blur.

Trying to convert people by force does not work. RSSers and Shivsena will find this out much to their chagrin.

No one is trying to convert people by force. It is extremely rare in India, aside from marriages. And all communities are guilty there.

The source of river Ganges (Padma) is also Kashmir,

No , it's from Gangotri and it's in Uttarkhand of India .

 

[Homo Sapiens]

No , it's from Gangotri and it's in Uttarkhand of India .

Yes, but Forty percent of Ganges water flows comes from Nepal.

 

[bluesky]

The point is Ganges starts at the east of Kashmir and it is natural that many many small rivers and streams from the Himalayas in north India and Nepal contribute to this river that finally enters Bangladesh and discharges in the BoB. Another branch goes towards Kolkata and discharges in the BoB as well.

Any large river starts small at the foot of a mountain but gets bigger while flowing towards the sea. Whatever may be the amount of flow from Nepal, the main stream of the Ganges flows certainly from east of Kashmir and it is not Nepal.
