Riots and sectarian violence in South Asia

[IndianLite]

Burmese civil war is mainly ethnic.

India’s violence is a mix of religion, ethnic and caste.

Pakistan is mainly religious.

Sri Lanka riven by Tamil and Buddhist sectarian violence.

Nepal is finally calm after communist insurgency.

Seems like Bhutan and Bangladesh are the only countries not in perpetual ethnic and sectarian violence.

Pakistan and India are the worst affected. Both countries could erupt into civil wars any moment that could claim thousands if not millions of deaths.

Indian Muslims are being goaded and sooner or later will hit back.

But that will ensure further deaths and restricted and penned into ghettoes of major cities.

They are going to be the African Americans of India.

This is what happens when you vote for BJP. What is the point of having secularism in the constitution when you vote for BJP--a political party run by RSS?

I thought civil war in Sri Lanka is over

The civil war in Sri Lanka is over. But for some people the civil war in Sri Lanka should return for the benefit of their country. We all know which country in South Asia benefits from unrest in their neighborhood.

Not really. Tamils have been rounded up and penned into ghettoes. Same fate awaiting Muslims of India.

But that just postpones the inevitable.

BJP = Banchood Jamat kee Pudi

It wasn't rainbows and sunshine before BJP, or even before BJP even existed. People living with different beliefs and cultures will have some sort of violence at some point.

Not sure about Bhutan!

1) But Bangladesh is majority ethnically homogeneous.
2) There is Hindu-Muslim stuff on small scale.
3) Among the Muslim majority, it is majority Sunni population.

Nonsense.
In India violence against Muslims is needed to disincentivize conversion, otherwise all lower castes would abandon slavery. The riots, progroms, genocide are not random and spontaneous.. it's designed to keep Muslims oppressed and exterminated if the situation allows.

 

[ProudThamizhan]

More such threads come up more we can be certain India is on the right path.

 

[El Sidd]

Rohingyas are being forced into concentration camps and forced sterilisation is quite common. There is expected violence between non Bengali and Bengali people inhabiting the occupied territories of east Pakistan.

You and your theories. Do you have any statistics to back these claims? Say communal violence has increased riots have increased, programs bla bla bla. Or as usual talking from your behind?

 

[Maira La]

You and your theories.

India does a lot of things to disincentivize conversion from Brahmin slavery. That includes persecution of Muslims and the Reservation system, which is wrongly thought of as affirmative action type thing.

Say a Dalit community should get x% of jobs because of their share of population. Without reservation system (i.e. if they converted and lost their status) they will get 0%, and with reservation system they get 0.x%, ten times less than what they deserve, yet something is better than nothing right? It's a government scheme that's weaponized to disincentivize conversion.

Everything that's going on in India is ultimately associated with maintaining 3000 year old slavery of Brahmins, and anything that has the potential to oppose it is seen as hostile to the state.

Muslims? On what basis should Muslims get reservations? You gloat about 1000 years of Muslim rule in India, reservation is given to people who were discriminated against. Like Dalits and tribals.

Again you are not making any sense, I asked a specific question, and you come up with whataboutery. This is not a thread about Caste and reservation.

 

[Maira La]

reservation is given to people who were discriminated against. Like Dalits and tribals.

Since a Dalit or tribal who converts to Islam does not get reservation, does it mean they are no longer considered 'discriminated against'? So you agree Islam does not discriminate against lower castes, so they should all convert to Islam, yeah?
