Hindu extremism will hamper Indian economy: NYT

[nadeemkhan110]

The dismay that many ordinary Indian citizens feel about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s willingness to tolerate, even encourage, the Hindu hard-liners in his own party has now spread to the financial community. Last week, Moody’s Analytics, a division of the bond rating and risk management company, warned that Mr. Modi “must keep his members in check or risk losing domestic and global credibility” — meaning, in so many words, its attractiveness to international investors.

Indian business leaders are no less alarmed. Over the weekend, N.R. Narayana Murthy, a co-founder of the Indian technology giant Infosys, lamented that “the reality today is that there is considerable fear” in the minds of the minority in India, and Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, chairwoman and managing director of Biocon, said business leaders are “concerned with what’s happening all across the country.”

Among the sparks that have set off an extraordinary outpouring of citizen reaction are the August killing of Malleshappa Madivalappa Kalburgi, a 76-year-old critic of Hindu idolatry, and Mr. Modi’s tardy condemnation of the lynching of a Muslim man in September by a Hindu mob enraged by a rumor that his family had killed a cow and eaten its meat.

By mid-October, 35 Indian authors and poets had returned their awards to India’s National Academy of Letters. Since then, Indian sociologists, scientists, filmmakers and more than 300 Indian artists have published public statements of concern and outrage. On the occasion of his 50th birthday on Monday, the film superstar Shah Rukh Khan spoke out against intolerance and warned, “We will never be a superpower if we are not going to believe that all religions are equal.”

The plain truth is that India is being rived by hatred and held hostage to the intolerant demands of some Hindu hard-liners. This is not the India a vast majority of Indian citizens want and it is not an India that will attract the foreign investment Mr. Modi has worked hard to drum up on his many trips abroad.

The concern for India's minorities from Pakistanis, who have collectively butchered all their minorities after independence and reduced them to less than 5 percent from the original 20 percent, is heartening. Pakistan has been consistently been ranked as one of the worst places for minorities anywhere in the world. So it is good to see Pakistanis getting into the concerns of the civilized world for a change.

Mind you, Indian Muslims, from Asasuddin Owaisi to MJ Akbar, have made it clear time and again that they do not wish for Pakistani concern, but the unsolicited concern is nonetheless duly noted.

It is also nice to see that Pakistanis treat NY Times editorial board articles seriously. Just the other Sunday, this same board had written that Pakistan's nuclear weapons pose a threat to the entire world. At that time, all Pakistani members on PDF had reached the unanimous conclusion that NYT is a piece of s**t and should be ignored. But that was two weeks back...

[Grevion]

We Hindus are extremist that's why we allowed snatan dharma to develop and evolve because we just couldn't handle the people who want to worship other gods its a pity we didn't blow ourselves up when Sikhism, Jainism or Buddhism were evolving.
Enough of this shitty journalism and BS articles by the people who don't know a fcuking thing about India

NYT

These newspapers are still butthurt, just see their history:
Saurav Jha's Blog : Why the 'New York Times' does not get Narendra Modi's rise
New York Times and the unfounded Modi paranoia - Firstpost
India v. Hinduphobia: What Narendra Modi's Election as Prime Minister Really Means | Vamsee Juluri

Lots more, you should just check out their constant rants, retard editorials, even plain Modi Bashing quoting modified facts, which they corrected after a lot of people pointed out the "mistakes".

 

[The Silent One]

Hindu extremism is not as known or violent as Islamic extremism but it does exist, but in my experience they're just annoying idiots xD
