...It was captured on a widely circulated video-- police raining baton blows on him even as he collapsed, taking turns with Bijoy Baniya, a Hindu photographer accompanying the police team. As Hoque’s life ebbs away, Baniya fiendishly jumps and stomps on his motionless body in an “act of performative depravity.”
Baniya is merely the latest face of India’s state-driven Hindu radicalization. In a country where 84% of the population is Hindu, and just 14% Muslim, Modi’s BJP party has achieved the astonishing feat of creating a deep sense of Hindu victimhood, stoking the othering of Muslims via disinformation, hate speech, opening old religious wounds, manipulating a servile media, silencing progressive voices, and empowering Hindu supremacist vigilante groups. “Hindu khatre mein hain” (Hindus are in danger) is a right-wing refrain that resonates deeply today.
...As a result, many Hindus have now been persuaded to believe that India’s biggest problem is its Muslims. Before Modi took over in 2014, most citizens thought their chief concerns were poverty, insufficient economic growth and corruption. He rode to power on the promise to fix all that. But as the economy has continued to worsen, and unemployment and poverty have risen under him, the BJP has increasingly fallen back on supremacist politics to deflect attention and evade responsibility. To keep winning elections, it needs to keep polarizing Hindu voters against Muslims, and spinning ever more outrageous campaigns to demonize Muslims.
Muslims apparently lust after Hindu women, procreating rapidly with the aim of overtaking the Hindu population and establishing an Islamic state, and necessitating new laws against “love jihad.” Similar regulations against religious conversions and the slaughter of cows, which are sacred to Hindus, have encouraged vigilantism. Muslim hawkers and workers have come under increasing attack from Hindu supremacist groups calling for a boycott of Muslim businesses.

I can’t say I am entirely against this. While there are Muslims who are good people, I could see a purge of Islam itself being a good thing.
and Christianity
Considering that the Muzzies did in India I’m surprised there’s a single one of the blood thirsty savages anywhere.

We can only hope.
So carve another chunk off India and serve the muslims another Pakistan. That should satisfy them. /s
It takes a lot to radicalize Hindus, but here are...
I echo your feelings. There are many Muslims I know who are good people, but out of the dozen or so Muslims I know well who are good people all but one is religious.
The bulk are Muslim in name only. The one religious Muslim is a Bohri - a sub-sub-division of Shia that are de-radicalized by their leader, the Syedna
Do unto others before they do you.
And what has happened in Pakistan gets crickets.
Pakistan, which used to be part of India.
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
Let them move to the wonder world of pohkistan.
“As to whether this constitutes a prelude to genocide, I don’t know - it does seem this way”
I can’t help but feel this isn’t all bad. I know there is such a thing as a good muslim, but the radical element, and the silence of the “good” muslims cause me to feel this way.
I work with a nice fellow from India, now an American citizen. He has no love for muslims.
They’ll be a lot safer - bury them or run them out of the country.
If they start, they won’t be just slaughter Moslems. They’ll eradicate Christians, too.
The problem is you never know when one of the ‘good people’ muslims might go all mohamad on you. You’re playing Russian roulette with 4 chambers loaded, with them. Taqiyya, don’t you know?
Standard Islamic Fundementalist propaganda. Attack the “infidels” on their home ground and then whine hysterically to the Western Media when they fight back
Our lying media scum are are the 21st century’s version of Lord Haw Haw and Tokyo Rose
Christians aren’t waging “holy war” against the Hindus. Islam is.
When you consider that a Pakistani and Indian both look alike, (and are basically part of the same tribe) then it’s like a fight to the death between brothers.
India has been subject to muslim perpetrated genocides throughout its history. Many histories have called the Moghul conquest of India, which came out of Afghanistan, the worst and most bloody genocide in the history of the world. Babur bragged about the piles of Hindu skulls he left as he crossed south Asia.
More recently, the partition of India in 1947 and the formation of Bangladesh were other opportunities for mass killings of Hindus.
Hindus now live in a strong Hindu nation, and they have not forgotten.
