Understanding the US - Again

[Jay]

Some of us need to learn to read.

Where in the post you quoted have I mentioned Mamdani?

Rudradev ji, this whole chain of discussion posts are happening because of the mayors election in NY, if there's other reasons for these posts, I'm happy to hear.

That was not what I asked

What you asked is a word salad

should be easy for you sir ji!

As to vandalism of Hindu temples in the US, as far as I can ascertain, all incidents are attributed to Khalistanis.

should be easy for you sir ji!

Jee, you pride yourself in your English learnt at a "community college" (I am sure you went to an English Convent of note in India). Why not make it more intelligible for folks like your truly who went to Telugu medium govt schools?!!!

I think that is "judged by 12 or carried by 6". Amrikhans are heavy.

Gautam ji, Hindus are carried by four.

Manishji: Yes, but the saying is not Indian, as we have not had jury trials for a long time now. Just being my obnoxious nitpicking self. Forgive me.

He quoted Jawaharlal Nehru - the Marxist “founding father” of socialist India, who:

Nehru destroyed India’s soul in the name of “progress.”

Mamdani is promising to do the same to you.[/b]

i am actually quite flattered that one of our storied leaders has been taken as an inspiration to do works overseas... the history of india and those states that came in touch with india, like most of south east asia still latch onto ideas and stories told by people from india, traders, others who were influenced, so much that their national identity, their architecture, culture, way of living was and more importantly is still informed by it in many different ways

internally however much maligned nehru might be, outside, if someone is taking inspiration from him, then he is a successful ideological export commodity and hopefully someone who influences american politics and policies in the years to come... and in totality

as for destruction of america's soul, i dont think many people would mind, may even be an improvement honestly, but then who would be able to tell the difference

New York really went from 9/11 to zohran mamdani in the space of 24 years

Unbelievable

Mamdani is a jihadi terrorist sympathizer, period. He has been voluble about that when it comes to Hamas. He has publicly embraced jihadis involved with the World Trade Center bombing of 1993. He has come out in public support of Khalistanis, who are a known proxy of the ISI jihad against India. He has echoed propaganda about supposed "Muslim genocide in Gujarat" that is completely indistinguishable from anything that has appeared in Daesh publications.

Whatever one may think of Trump, Stephen Miller, or any of the MAGA crowd, there is simply no comparison when it comes to the existential threat that jihadis pose to Hindus (Indian and Indian-American alike).

whats the difference if the discourse is far into the future about the butcher of godhra and a form of jiziya and one with my good friend modi and more than 100% tariffs? maybe one seems more erudite, but the effect seems to be the same

also, we have had our share of ideologically inspired almost revolutions with the presence of very very friendly governments in the us, short of an overt military action against india, mamdami would find that his predecessors had and have been trying all alternatives to put india beneath their feet... would his being muslim make it any worse than being under the feet of those of the euro stock

for the better parts of 9 months, with all the backings of power, trump has behaved, and with justification, as the god emperor of earth, any opposition has been treated as merely provincial backwater politics; he has shown, for the first time the overt power that the us exerts over the world polity and that is too much power for one man

the more he is tied up in internal issues, the more the other nations can plot to create a system where such situations are prevented from ever happening where one nation exerts so much influence over the others, this is the matter of immediacy more than the emergence of any other preening dotard or wannabe wahhabist

mamdami, if he ever eventuates as an issue, is into the future, for the nonce, he further alienates the americans and that is a most welcome development

if the trucks of peace cannot be induced to start rolling in a timely manner, then maybe some cletus can pay homage to christchurch to further enlarge the divide, all for the one understanding: that a united united states is in no one's best interest
