Few months back, in a similar fashion a Hindu Don was encountered by the UP cops. All Hindus still supported the cops.
For people like you, if the person is a Muslim irrespective of whether he is a terrorist, serial murderer he should be supported at any cost.
And don’t club Sikhs and Dalit among yourself to look good. They have a far larger contribution to society and don’t cry victimhood at any given opportunity.
And guess what Muslim fanatics have butchered few Hindus already on this issue. These were the normal people who simply liked or expressed support for Nupur.
The amazing thing is that even after killings, these fanatics cry victim hood.
For those crying oceans, read this Twitter thread. These two “undertrials” were monsters of the worst kind who killed anyone with impunity. Shame on people who support such monsters just because they happen to share the same religion. https://twitter.com/Sanity_3/status/1647304754002010113?s=20
At the end of the day one is a human being who gets triggered on repeated offensive things. If you look-up, what she said was not incorrect since several Islamic scholars make the same claim. I guess the aggressive tone in what she said made all the difference.
For the record, Nupur does not represent any constituents in the purest sense. She was the spokesperson, that’s it. She is neither an MP nor MLA.
If you watch the full debate, the Muslim panelists were continuously mocking Hindu Gods, Nupur got fed up and replied to them in the similar manner.
What this fact checker cunningly did was to edit out the Muslim panellist mocking and simply showed her part of the clip. He has a mass following in Islamic nations and it got blown out of proportion.
Of course when you come here with a half-baked knowledge and accuse someone* of astroturfing , one has to call you out.
By your own admission, for the first time you heard Nupur’s name, you did a quick search and within minutes you reached the conclusion what you wanted to reach.
Since when asking to understand the issue in depth - rather than a 2 mins cursory look up - racism?
No, I mean people with loads of common sense who can tell you both side of the story.
>> Not Indian Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Dalits or Shudras who form greater than 50% of the Indian population.
Acc to you, if they are more than 50% AND not happy with Modi, why is Modi winning back to back elections and almost certain to come to power again in 2024?
The fact that you have to search for the name shows you are not enough clued in about what is happening in India. Wish you take some time out and get the facts straight from some Indian friends to understand both side of the story.
It will become a long comment, all I can say , BBC, NyTimes etc has some axe to grind with the current dispensation.
The 2 brothers who were killed were notorious gangsters involved in 100+ cases of murders, loot, kidnapping etc. At least read-up before trying to win with your ignorance.
India has Buddhists, Parsis, Jains, Zoroastrian as “true” minorities. They don’t have any problems in India. In fact they are among the most prosperous folks.
Why is that only Muslims have problem everywhere on the globe? France, US, UK, Israel and the list goes on.
This is where most General category folks have the pet peeve with the government.
Gen folks won't mind if govt spends, gives them scholarship, exclusive tuitions to the deprived ones BEFORE such exams BUT let them compete with the same starting and finish line.
India is run by populist measures with an unending eye on the next elections. (This is irrespective of governments or whichever party is ruling.)
> So what is it?
Read about the mindboggling misuse of SC/ST act and you will have your answer. It is so highly misused that Supreme Court of India had to intervene and dilute it but govt under immense pressure had to pass an ordinance within a week of that judgement to negate it.
That’s their tried and tested modus-operandi. You check any major terror incidents in India or abroad, Islamists use the same playbook.
If they are mocking someone’s religion it is their “freedom of speech” , if it is the opposite, Charlie Hebdo or Nupur Sharma will be done to you.
