Please don’t abandon the people of India, who are overwhelmingly not bigots. This government only represents 37% of a vast, inclusive, humane electorate. The real India is reasserting itself in the streets this week. Invest in their future.

This would be puke worthy coming from any Indian citizen BUT especially coming from an MP.

The appropriate response would have been ...eff off! Keep your investment, the returns will go to someone less preachy..

My mother is a Hindu, my biological father was a Christian, my adopted father - a Muslim. In all official documents, my religion status stays blank. Does religion determine I am an Indian? It never did and I hope it never does. #OneIndia #India

Accept the fact the behavior engaged in by these jokers was unacceptable and there is a widespread radicalization problem and then at least you have a credible position to propose solutions, as versus denying the reality altogether.

Nobody is denying radicalization problem in Muslims. It must be dealt with, but surely not by threatening all Muslims citizenship. Let’s also admit there’s a bigotry problem amongst a section of Hindus as well. Only earlier this week there was a video of a Karnataka school students enacting the demolition of Babri masjid for their annual day. What is that if not bigotry? Similarly, much of the new found distaste for violent protests is just that. I’ve already provided examples of Hindu protestors (Patidars, Jaats) who have earlier engaged in even more violent protests. This holier than thou and name calling only exposes your selective memory.

Problematic parts are highlighted ..

1. NO one is threatening ALL MUSLIM citizenship. Someone talking of irony shouldn't make such a goofup or is it deliberate? Either GOI is threatening ALL INDIAN citizenship or it is threatening none. You can't have it both ways. Not expected from someone giving gyan of "secularism and unity" to others.

2. On the Patidar or Jat agitation and violence
2a. These were CASTE agitation and not HINDU agitation. This holier than thou attitude is a mask and is so easy to expose.
2b. They were agitating FOR something/someone unlike agitating AGAINST something/someone. The difference between the two is in the Indian constitution and law and it is called "Positive discrimination". A Jat or Patidar agitation FOR reservation is no way comparable to a slogan AGAINST a particular religion that is embedded in the "Hinduon se Azadi".
2c. Even the above does NOT forgive the violence of the Jat or Patidar agitators. Violence in any name or form is totally unacceptable.

Indian Muslim ldr says his community will ‘overthrow’ the Indian Constitution crafted by #Ambedkar; replace it with one that suits Muslims.

Watch how crowd breaks into a cheer as he boasts of Muslim street muscle & his cry against India’s constitution.

A peaceful call to over throw the Indian constitution. How peaceful, democratic and in line with "Secularism and unity"

Just because a speech/slogan is delivered peacefully does not make it peaceful if it call for violence or in this case over-throw of the current Indian constitution.

[Vikas]

The way Islamists and Urban Naxals are instigating, we seem to be just a step away from reaction from the right. Usually the tipping point comes even before participants even realize it.
The main issue for BIF is that outside the select areas, There is hardly any movement or sympathy on ground level. After failure of Award-wapasi, Lynching, Rohith-Lankesh episodes, this is the new handle that BIF feels can be used to stab Bharat.

Rest of India is just watching the events unfolding on MSM and SM. One may not be a BJP supporter but still can react when instigation and violence would reach the tipping point.
e.g. How would UT keep Sainiks in check if a Anti-CAA rally becomes violent in Mumbai as rallies and march would most likely become in few days. With their own govt in place, Why would SS foot soldiers hold back.

[pankajs]

Just like CAA/NRC will threaten "All Muslims citizenship" it now seems that it also threatens "All Women who get married".

Per this lady, the CAA/NRC will not discriminate based on religion therefore it must be secular (My conclusion based on her thoughts). It boggles my mind as to the amount of brain-washing that has happens disguised as liberalism. Liberalism has started to resemble a very puritanical religion where the church leaders proclaim "truths" and the rest mouth it like sheep, no brain required.

What the hell are you talking about, you obviously know little about two nation theory, partition and political Islam and how it works. You can walk around with any sign board including most hateful ones anywhere in a democratic country, its not an issue unless it’s call for violence. In USOfA skin heads and KKK take out rallies with sign board that mKe anyone’s blood boil, but so what?

Its not matter of right, wrong, acceptable or not acceptable. If people feel persecuted ( rightly or wrongly) they have right to protest regardless of however unacceptable it might be to anyone as long as its peaceful and within the law.

Personally to me it’s unacceptable but so what? Protesting against majority domination (perceived or real) is fine and dandy, that’s how democracy works by allowing a pressure relief valve.

Again my request wAs to try and find bigger fishes but you have started an attack Instead of trying to understand

This is not America dude. This is a land where more than 80 million hindus/sikhs/buddhists were murdered by islamics over last millenium. So any attempt by islamics to use right to protest as a facade for inciting hatred against Hindus will be construed as intent to kill Hindus.

Please do not justify genocide of hindus. We are not lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

These men at August Kranti Maidan #CAA_NRC_Protests were holding a placard that read - "Stop Transbill"

1. A skullcap wearing guy protesting in favor of "Trans" people. Note, I have no way of knowing what religion this skullcap wearing gentleman belongs to but the irony couldn't be more grotesque. {Btw, before anyone objects on my commenting on his skullcap, I did not put it there. He choose to make it part of his identity and I am just an observer and a commentator.}

2. Notice how every kind of discrimination is sought to be linked to CAA/NRC. Isn't that magical? #ModiHaiToMumkainHai Modi has done more for opposition unity than anyone else in Indian history. He is THE #UniterInChief.

3. It can only means that some liberandu organization is behind the gathering for only they could have thought of such off-topic posters that has little or no connection to CAA/NRC. Our sickular class is very in-tune with the global "liberal/progressives". Very woke of them for this "virtue signally" protest.

4. Sheeples don't know what they are holding or protesting except that it is a bad law, unconstitutional and is dividing people.

Supposedly Amit Shah stated this and more .. stating with "All the minorities and Muslims will be pushed out of the country .."

How much of a dumb-head and sheeple does one have to be to believe this propoganda?

I wonder if Govt is giving long rope to these veto-dalal before pulling the lever or if they did not take this kind of reaction in account.

Swapan Dasgupta @swapan55

The energy for the protests come from those who were devastated after the 2019 general election. They are now riding piggyback on a community that lost its political veto power. The objectives are clear: cripple Modi. In this game, the liberals are the proverbial useful idiots.

Modi to kick off BJP's Delhi Assembly poll campaign with rally at Ramlila Maidan on Dec 22
Some "secular" media channels are forecasting a terrorist attack during this BJP mega rally.

A worrisome fact is that the top leadership of BJP is expected to be attending the event (not one or two leaders).

CAA protests LIVE: 35 arrested for stone-pelting in Madhya Pradesh

At least 35 people have been arrested in connection with Friday's violent protests in Madhya Pradesh, which left 20 police personnel injured, an official told PTI. Demonstrations against the law were held across the state on Friday, with protesters pelting stones at police in some places. Police used baton charge to disperse the protesters. Curfew was imposed in parts of Jabalpur city, while the internet was suspended for six hours in the capital city of Bhopal. Police have arrested 35 people for stone-pelting, which left 20 police personnel injured, Jabalpur Superintendent of Police Amit Singh said on Saturday. Curfew has been imposed in Gohalpur and Hanumantal police station areas and some parts of Kotwali and Adharta in the city, he said, adding that the situation in all these places is being reviewed.

Over half of Chhattisgarh people won't be able to prove citizenship if NRC rolled out: Baghel

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel has said that if the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is implemented, over half the population in his state will not be able to prove their citizenship as they neither have land nor land records. He also said that half the people in Chhattisgarh do not possess any document to prove their citizenship as their ancestors were illiterate who migrated to different villages or states. "In Chhattisgarh, there are 2.80 crore people and more than half of them will not be able to prove their citizenship. They neither have land records nor land. Their forefathers were illiterate. Most of them migrated to other villages or states. From where they will bring the 50-100 years old documents," he asked. "This is just an unnecessary burden on people. We have several agencies to check infiltration in the country. The agencies can take action against the infiltrators. But how come they (Centre) can trouble the common people," he said.

General observation on how psy-ops is conducted in social media groups in KL. There are a couple of travel groups which I am part off. These groups generally have more peacefool membership (may be because they are more travelers then the other communities).
1. Multiple posters talk about a new "VISA" regime in North East. They highlight this with a punch line that how this move would effect tourists, bike riders etc. This is done to cause animosity in the tourist & rider groups towards GoI. What is actually the case is ILP - one document which these fellows have any ways been used to when travelling to places like Leh & Ladakh.
2. One traveler (!?) will post an innocent question like - Can I travel from Palakkad to Bangalore?. A few others would say No, it is a risky trip. There *may be* problems on the route. Where the truth is that there is absolutely no problem in the entire stretch of around 300+ kms. This is done to create an image that the entire India is burning.

PS: The main stream media outlets are any ways outright liars. One news media reported that Internet has been banned in Bengaluru city, and I could read the very same news using my cell phone data connection . But many idiots in KL have now taken it to be gospel truth, without realising how big the city is and how blocking some thing like internet would effect the IT cos.

To their own fault of not recognizing and acknowledging the threat, many times more that Hindus would be killed and won't even make it to stats. While GJ has been BJP ruled state, that doesn't automatically translate into Hindus are protected state. For example, BJP recently made many areas protected where muslim can't walk in and buy properties. However, muslim did already walk in and buy properties in this areas which were known to have been hot and actively being pursued by muslims for decades. Finally many were breached and protecting the area after the breach has no meaning. Just political appeasement where the protection is already toothless. All happened in last two decades. Good for BJP is that Hindus don't vote based on Hindu causes alone as sizable Hindu population is still sleeping.

[Karan M]

Really? That's literally how the 2 nation theory was pushed for, and led to the Direct Action Day, and the deaths, murders, rapes of countless non Muslims and later Muslims as well. Should we ignore that? Also, if Hindus start saying "Musalmano se Azadi" will that even be acceptable (leaving aside the ethical, moral aspects out of the picture).
Can anyone here for instance, walk around in *any* secular society with a large placard stating " i want freedom from muslims" and not suffer significant consequences or blow-back? If so, the other case should be held as equally offensive.

What the hell are you talking about, you obviously know little about two nation theory, partition and political Islam and how it works. You can walk around with any sign board including most hateful ones anywhere in a democratic country, its not an issue unless it’s call for violence. In USOfA skin heads and KKK take out rallies with sign board that mKe anyone’s blood boil, but so what?

Its not matter of right, wrong, acceptable or not acceptable. If people feel persecuted ( rightly or wrongly) they have right to protest regardless of however unacceptable it might be to anyone as long as its peaceful and within the law.

Sorry, I am not going to put up with your aggression in your post above. There was no attack in my post either, just a clear mention about what the Hinduon se Azadi comment represented.

We are living in this country unlike you chaps. Are you seriously this silly to believe that walking around with a sign calling for azaadi from Hindus is not provocative and has nothing to do with the two nation theory, and Direct Action Day?

I don't even know why even articulate folks like you try to sugar coat the reality. How does it help us?

What else does "Hinduon se Azadi" represent but a forceful articulation of the 2 nation theory.

Don't posture about topics *you* likely understand but for whatever reason are making absurd comments about. "Pressure relief valve* it seems. Next some Hindu will seek his *pressure relief valve* by standing in front of a mosque and acting like the above yahoos and we will have a riot on our hands.

Of course, it won't affect your sensitive soul who will be pontificating from abroad while we face a riot on our hands.

And next time you think you can throw your weight, around. Dont.

[Karan M]

This is rubbish.

If political protesters engage in rabid anti-Hindu sloganeering it deserves to be called out and noted for what it is. To claim that doing so is "visceral hatred towards a significant chunk of the population" is wrong. It implies that an entire community is full of bigots and hence its ok for them to do so, and one should ignore it. The worst kind of acceptance possible.

In fact, its the sloganeers who clearly have visceral hatred towards a significant chunk of the population.

"Hinduon se azaadi" is the worst kind of bigotry there is given both its historical antecedents and also what its being used today for, events like the Pulwama attack or Indian Mujahideen's antics.

Simply put neither of you can deny the above is not "really rotten meat".

To most rational folks, the kind of slogans used in the event were really rotten by themselves *and* anti-national, as the nation includes Hindus and to deliberately, provocatively use this kind of sloganeering to ask for a break away is very clear about what the protesters want.

And lets not bring in Syed Hasnain or Abdul Kalam or this person or that person whenever any idiot is discussed. First, they'd likely be as offended at these peoples behavior and know the long or even short term consequences of the sloganeering and rabid behavior on public perception. Second, people like Gen Afsar Karim coined terms like "the running dogs of jihad" for Pakistanis who spoke much the same language as above "Hinduon se Azadi".

Lets not constantly bring these folks in as some kind of 1 man counterweight to the idiocy that the rest do. It doesn't work and all you are doing is dragging everyone to the same table and painting them with the same brush. This virtue signaling achieves nothing. Most people can see right through the local fallacies inherent in your argument - bringing up a good guy to excuse the bad behavior engaged in by others, when both are not even correlated, and second, over time, folks will start attacking the "good guys", and attempt to tear down national icons merely because they are frustrated at one group being trotted out as cover fire for the second.

Accept the fact the behavior engaged in by these jokers was unacceptable and there is a widespread radicalization problem and then at least you have a credible position to propose solutions, as versus denying the reality altogether.

You start your post with calling an argument that you don’t like “This is rubbish” and write nothing but rubbish.

Hinduon se azadi is worst kind of bigotry to you? More than murdering a hindu leader for calling prophet a gay man? Raising pro pakistani slogans on indian soil is less bigoted than this slogan for you? How about gazwa-e-hind? Converting countless innocent young girls in Keral and sending them to Syria to serve as sex slave is less bigoted to you? Afzal tere katil zinfa hai and tukde tukde are not worse than this?

Are you seriously making this post or its some kind of parody intended to be satire? The slogans above represent the same kind of bigotry, and you are trying to pretend there is a difference between the two and virtue signal.

The suggestion was to focus on more substantial materials that will stick for long time to come rather than trying to turn a chotta mota protest into something that it isn’t. Not sure whT is your problem.

Even if it is unacceptable, so what? It’s a-free country and people have right to free speech. Shit that you have written is also a shining example of rotten meat and bigotry, that is fine by me too.

*Your* rotten meat and bigotry and whitewashing crimes won't fly dude. Aggressive language "shit that you have written, rotten meat" etc doesn't make up for the fact that you don't really have an argument. Try this free speech stuff with someone who won't outright laugh at it. For instance, your claim is that making absurd claims on religious grounds is ok?

Try telling somebody else that somehow its ok to incite violence and then committing violent acts is the only issue. Anyone can logically work out there is literally no line between the two and radicalization can and does lead to violence when these slogans are being used in a protest environment and rocks flew soon thereafter, buses were burned and cops were stoned, and folks have committed even worse kind of crimes due to it including recently at Pulwama.

Rest of your post is useless drivel that demolished so many strawmen of your own making! Who the F are u and I to decide what is acceptable and what is not?

You claim majority of rational people would find the slogans unacceptable- have you done a survey of Majority of rational people ? Who determined who is rationL?

The GOI is perfectly capable of deciding what is acceptable and the responses to *your drivel* on this forum itself show you what is acceptable. Neither is your language and behavior acceptable per the standards on this forum.

Talk for yourself, don’t try putting weight of mJority behind your own views and opinions.

They are wrong their slogans are poor, they are radicalized, bigoted and xyz, as long as they are peaceful, within university campus and democratic, it’s fine.

For the ones rioting, burning and throwing stone—-goli maro salon ko

I have never read such genius in my life before and I am thankful you are neither in India and nor associated with GOI in any manner.

Radicalization is no problem. Incitement to violence is no problem.

Moment they pick up a stone, then it becomes a problem, and shoot them all, having ignored the radicalization till then, the incitement till then.

I couldn’t find a better example of irony. You dismiss Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain as a one off example, that I’m using to paint everyone in the same brush. You’re using one slogan to paint the entire lot of protestors with the same brush!

The fact is that there are umpteen images of protestors waving national flags, pictures of Gandhi/Ambedkar, posters of secularism and unity, and demonstrating peacefully. Similarly there are a lot of perfectly patriotic Hindus protesting against CAA and NRC. You just choose to ignore those images because pointing to one off slogans is a convenient mask for your own visceral hatred and biases.

You seem to be choosing to deliberately misunderstand something awfully straightforward. I was referring to your argument in bringing Gen Hasnain into a discussion which doesn't involve him at all, as it sure comes across as trying to ignore the tinderbox of religious bigotry by bringing an accomplished individual as a one man representative of his faith everytime his co-religionists do something insane. Its unfair to him to be propped up in such an manner as versus standing ahead on the basis of his accomplishments.

Next, I am not using *one slogan* - I am pointing to the fact there was significant violence in West Bengal, UP, Delhi by radicalized members of the community *and* those who should have been educated and better, weren't, as they were often caught inadvertently making the same slogans and claims. The fact that you seek to conflate this with the above examples you cite above is a perfect example of trying to ignore the fact that there was religious radicalism involved in the protests and evidence exists regarding that. One (flag waving by non violent protestors, Hindus, Muslims etc) does not excuse the other.

As regards your personal attack above: "You just choose to ignore those images because pointing to one off slogans is a convenient mask for your own visceral hatred and biases." you just crossed the line with your tendency to sit on some self appointed high horse and pretend you are some moral individual whereas everyone else is wallowing in turpitude. This is not the first time either, despite polite requests to you to cease and desist.

Accept the fact the behavior engaged in by these jokers was unacceptable and there is a widespread radicalization problem and then at least you have a credible position to propose solutions, as versus denying the reality altogether.

Nobody is denying radicalization problem in Muslims. It must be dealt with, but surely not by threatening all Muslims citizenship. Let’s also admit there’s a bigotry problem amongst a section of Hindus as well. Only earlier this week there was a video of a Karnataka school students enacting the demolition of Babri masjid for their annual day. What is that if not bigotry? Similarly, much of the new found distaste for violent protests is just that. I’ve already provided examples of Hindu protestors (Patidars, Jaats) who have earlier engaged in even more violent protests. This holier than thou and name calling only exposes your selective memory.

Again, you are engaging in outright misrepresentation.

"surely not by threatening all Muslims citizenship." - this has neither been done by GOI nor asked for by anyone else on this forum.

The examples you quote are also despicable but unrelated to the current incident.
Furthermore, I engaged in no name calling in my prior post, but you have done so in your latest.

As regards Hindus who have engaged in violent protests, may I refresh your memory and point out police firing occurred and the riots were controlled.

You have received a ban to cool off and return to your prior productive posting.

Frankly, the above was not your 1st distasteful attack on moderators and admins, and grounds for even a permanent ban. Ramana already mentioned the same earlier, and yet you persist with a 2nd attack.

I am not even sure whether you are in India and understand how ugly the scene is with cops nearly being lynched while you guys focus on "peaceful protestors". As harsh as it may sound to you, the general public is not looking at things that way and things may worsen.

The only thing I can perhaps think of why you are constantly bringing in completely unrelated issues and trying to downplay the severity of the problem is that perhaps you are unaware of the scale of the violence and problems thereof.

There are now visuals all over the place of cops being literally stoned in a targeted fashion as they cower from Islamist mobs, many were wounded and were bleeding. In another case, a running cop was literally lynched by a similar mob, and there are unconfirmed reports he is in a coma (I hope not). In Delhi, religious mobs attacked cops and traffic, and ignored the presence of even school buses. In West Bengal, muslim mobs went around attacking trains, and passengers. Train drivers were injured. They also burnt down station/s and trains.

In Meerut, a police station was burnt down, people died in rioting. In Mangalore, cops opened fire on Muslim mobs.

Now do you realize the scale of the issue and why I said what I did? I can only surmise you are completely unaware of the gravity and scale of the issue despite being an otherwise reasoned poster. Its easy to name call us and accuse us of bigotry, being anti-Muslim etc. Have you gone back and checked the number of times that I have interceded in this thread & asked people to tone it down? How many times other mods have stepped in likewise.

The fact of the matter is people are *angry* and afraid. The combination of the two is a tinderbox. If these mob attacks on cops, and Hindu groups continue, there will be a violent counter-reaction.

In this milieu, to excuse the obvious and blatant bigotry being displayed by clueless or deliberately malafide elements like the two ladies who were propped us as "sheroes" and the LW's agenda peddling, is to ignore the above. If anything, every effort should be made to call them out and stop it.

Some jokers walking around saying "hey man, cool protest" like a lot of the CAB guys, or the well meaning confused sorts cannot cover up for the massive violence above and which is at the verge of exploding.

If that happens, the GOI will be forced to take harsh measures - and it won't go well for anyone of us. Not sure whether you will be affected, but we sure will and hence our concern.

Clear indication of western BIF EJs


Anti-CAA rioters distort Hindu Om symbol to look like Nazi symbol
https://www.opindia.com/2019/12/anti-ca ... zi-symbol/

The left-sponsored protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 continue to rage in various parts of the country. While the anti-CAA lobby has been resorting to severe violence, stone pelting, vandalism and arson to voice their dissent, a poster has emerged from a similar protest in Bengaluru which not only goes on to hurt Hindu sentiments but also displays the protestors bigoted and obscurantist mindset by distoring the Hindu Om symbol.

In a picture shared by a Twitter user, a protestor in Bengaluru is seen holding a placard with a distorted image of a Hindu Om symbol (ॐ) to look like the Nazi swastika symbol. The poster also has a text message which reads: ‘F**k Hindutva’.

Anybody told these geniuses that the Swastika itself is a Hindu symbol, which was distorted by the west? It's very clear where the inspiration is coming from (hint: not from within India).

A faculty at IIT Kanpur has submitted this video and a complaint to director, alleging anti-India & communal statements made at a recent event held in 'solidarity with Jamia' & that event held without permission.

That it is a poem by Faiz is mentioned in copy. I know it. I have merely reported about a complaint letter that has sparked a row in the campus.[/quote]
Darkha Butt bibi got constipated reading these tweets. In-fact, it has triggered a lot of sickular and peaceful people on twitter. I will update once I locate that tweet.

Of one thing I am sure, the crackdown on the left-nexus in our public institutions is long overdue. If there is a 2nd Trump term, Modi & co should make this their first priority.

This is gold. Our wonderful “deradicalization” plans must wait for Trump to win a second term. We must wait for the gora saab and memsaabs blessing and then we’ll open internment camps everywhere for our own countrymen. Sounds familiar?

My goodness. The manner in which you misinterpret everyone else's posts, opinions has no equal. Did I mention internment camps? No - I merely mentioned Trump because of the fact that the current left cabal in our institutions sending students into the firing line, has significant support from his political opponents. If India needs to deradicalize its universities, it would likely find it easier to do so under a Trump admin which seems to follow a Jacksonian principle of non interference per some analysts.
