"Forced to hang my head in shame": Former Navy chief writes open letter to President Mukherjee, PM M

[Sid N]

No its not like that.
First of all i am an atheist.
Secondly the genocide is a forgotten thing in punjab or among sikhs now,sikhs are fortunately considered as part of hinduism and both groups are very comfortable with each other.Thats the reality so sikhs are really not bothered.

not just fortunately man,actually also.

 

[Hindustani78]

can you relate a personal experience ?

I work with muslims, I also employ muslims (and other ethnic minorities)

I have a good idea of what's going on in the hinterland and in the valley, the media is greatly exaggerating and pushing this false "growing intolerance" narrative.

it's complete bull.

I think here you are talking about Indian Muslims.

There are many differences but hardline hindutva is very different from wahabbism

How nice.

Explain this to the families of those who die due to either syndrome.

Leave this sophistry for history. In the present, supporting either, even silently, is a crime.

There is no Dalit here we don't kill our minorities for eating their liking. Yes people killed each day on sectarian basis thanks to Zia for this but now we are on right track but sad to say our neighbor is on wrong track.

Man,there are hardly any minorities in your country.Perhaps shia/ahmedia but they are also just sects.

Aboriginal Persona Givenup????

Sorry I have not converted to desert faith for your disappointment.

I love to see persons like you desperately hanging cogs of last remains of Imperialist Mindsets, which are waiting for their long awaited burial.

Be careful, your syntax is strangling you.

Problem is it can very well start treading the same course.Have we seen the future??
A divisive ideology can go to extremes very fast,,thats the point.

We should not encourage such elements.

When u see that life of a human being is less than that of a cow........u know there is something really wrong.

Dude,i have been here for far too long to understand what means what.
Lets not kid ourselves here.

This is just hindutva speaking through majority here.Its good for hindus no doubt but not good for india.U may try to justify this but the facts on ground say otherwise.

This is not work of BJP but definitely of the greater sangh parivaar and everyone knows about this,,,its no secret.

I know the problem and explained to you about it. Regarding the VHP to be precise. My posts exist to this day. But the Admiral has brought in RSS, BJP, and Vedas in an article that does not require any. He has mixed his prejudice with manufactured history and written a piece that can only be described as well worded propaganda.

You say that it is good for Hindus. Bad for others. Tell me - Hindus have been shamed most by repeated assaults over the past year. How many communal riots happened since then? How many Muslims and Christians are repeatedly writing one op-ed piece after another. All the outrage we see are from Hindus. And yet you say that only Hindus are benefiting from this episode. Jot me down the points in bullets that the Admiral makes - other than emotional statements('Like kahan gaye woh India') that can't be debated.

 

[Sid N]

The other religions are... but are the Hindus really admitting there is a problem or just bemoaning the secular system. A system that has saved India from far more violence than could have occured. I don't see even a bit improving for my people in Lucknow and my cousins. They will always be kept away from government jobs and the army. No offense meant but even the patriotic ones will have their patriotism doubted and told to go to Pakistan.

Government jobs are hard for everyone and these days,most people dont even try.Central government exams are totally free and fair and i know 2 muslim friends who have qualified for services.

Army-i dont think there is any problem,from what i know of.

SO life of Osama is more than a Cow? Al Baghdadi ? Yakub Memon? Sonia Gandhi? let me know

Please don't drag 'whabbism' in this. Not required.

Only if you are oblivious of the fact that mob lynching have caused more death for crime as small as pick pocket or minor stealing.

 

[Joe Shearer]

Sorry, could not decipher this one-liner. I got the meaning. Not the essence. A number of explanations come to mind. Confusing.

Good. Let us hope that will lead to some introspection. Very little else did.

As a hardline hindutva guy,my issues are not with muslims but with those who made fake translations and poor meanings of hindu scriptures,basically those hindus who hate their own religion.

we dont find islam or muslims a problem except a few issues and we certainly dont say my god is the only god.

So this is what rattles you the most. It was deplorable. But such incidents have happened since time immemorial.

Now you should be outraged if
i. The BJP did it.
ii. No action was taken against the perpetrators.

The reality is very different. You know it.
