Just after 1.30pm on Friday, the loudspeaker outside Sarai Alawardi mosque crackled to life, and more than a thousand foreheads were touched to the hessian mats that lined the ground. Towering over them were the skyscrapers of Gurgaon, a satellite town south of Delhi that houses technology companies, bowling alleys and other symbols of the “new India”.
A day after the Hindu nationalist prime minister, Narendra Modi, claimed a landslide election victory, some in the congregation were anxious about whether this new country had a place for them. “These days, it isn’t safe for us here any more,” said Haji Shezhad Khan, the chairman of a local Muslim activist group, sitting in a shaded courtyard a few metres from the mosque.
For many Indian Muslims – whose population of about 200 million would comprise the seventh-largest country on earth – Modi’s emphatic re-election has been an isolating experience.
The country’s most acrimonious election campaign in recent history was studded with references to unauthorised migrants from Bangladesh as “termites”, the nomination to parliament of a Hindu accused of terrorism and a debate over whether Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin – who killed the founding father for supposedly cowing to Muslim demands – was in fact a patriot.
Despite this, or perhaps because of it, a record 270 million Indians cast their votes for Modi’s Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) or its allies.

Yes...you're the victims (extreme sarcasm).
Woo Hoo!!!!
Watching the election results reminded me of Bernie Shaw and Judy Woofwoof on election night back home!
About damn time!!!
Let them quiver.
In his speech, Modi said that he wants one India for all, and does not want religious hostilities to continue. But that depends...if the Muslims are still going to keep attacking the Hindus and Christians, that’s a different matter.
Most of the Hindu attacks on Christian preachers have actually had to do with the fact that the preachers (US Protestant soft-leftists) were attacking land ownership. In other words, they’d gotten involved in polítics.
Modi called on the Hindu “militants’ to rein it in, and I think he will enforce this on all extremists.
Move to Pakistan
The Hindu Nationalists also target Christians. So this isn’t totally a good thing.
They should all go to Pakistan or Bangla Desh. India would be a less vilent place.
They killed thousands of Americans, they still hate us and what do we do? We rolled out the red carpet and catered to them.
They should feel unsafe and uncomfortable here.
How do YOU like it, you subhuman fecal matter?
bttt
Pakistan.
Get out, go to neighboring Pakistan, which was formed because you savages can’t live near humans without raping them and cutting their heads off.
Hopefully the Europeans will follow suit with similar results in their elections today.
“Friction between Hindus and Muslims, as well as tension among sects within both faiths, has been a persistent feature of Indian life. But in the past five years violence against Muslims has increased, including at least 36 killings by “cow vigilantes” of cattle farmers and traders accused – usually spuriously – of harming the revered animals.”
Putting dogs and cats in the same cage doesn’t work out too well. Why people insist on doing that is beyond me.
Christians are being murdered by Hindu extremists, there. Are they part of his party, I wonder?
I sense that Kali is very angree at the muzzies and that she is about to release the thugee hordes.
It is comforting to know that in some part of the World, there are Muslims that are uncomfortable being there. Lots of work to do here in the U.S.A.
I don’t suppose they’ve heard of this place called Pakistan.
