  • I don’t know what you are even arguing. My point is India is democratic and secular despite being flawed. Do you not agree with that? If you don’t agree with that, why are you worried about the word “secular” being removed? How does it matter anyway?

    Your incident counting means nothing - India has 1.4B people. Obviously you can find more cases LMAO.

    My point is India is democratic and secular - and that’s an achievement in South Asia (that’s why compared to Pakistan). And that has made it more developed. So democracy and secularism are good ideals to fight for.

    If India is not better off than Pakistan and Bangladesh, might as well let BJP make it non secular like them? Why bother fighting it?



  • no refugees

    Not true - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_India

    fall to the Hindu majority who would nationilze around their identity and oppress everyone else which is exactly what happend

    It’s not even close to that. For sure there needs to be big improvements in minority rights but it’s not even close to what Pakistan (and Bangladesh) are. India is heavily flawed but still has a functional democracy and secular state while not a single PM in Pakistan has completed a full term. Lol like they are not even comparable. If anything, India is an achievement of secularism and a good example of why you should separate the church and state.

    just gives credit for Pakistan’s purpose

    Now that is a circular argument because the nationalists say “look at Pakistan and Bangladesh, Muslims got that, why aren’t we getting one?”. So creation of Pakistan is what gives credit to their argument.

    For its purpose of avoiding being an oppressed minority, it succeded.

    Did they? Do Pakistani Muslims lead better life than Indian Muslims?




  • that it’s a cultural issue

    So when white people say racist things, it’s a one off shithead person. But when brown people do crimes, it must be in their culture, got it.

    We can get #NotAllIndians trending

    How about we don’t make it about their skin color or “culture” so that we wouldn’t have to do?

    By your arguments you’re saying article like this are bullshit hysteria with zero basis in reality?

    Not bullshit, never claimed that. Only thing I’m saying is that violence against women is a problem everywhere, not special about Indians. And making it about them is unhelpful and harmful.

    That take is super chill and not victim blamey at all. I mean, these “victims” were probably asking for it. Got it

    Oof damn talk about putting words in my mouth. Crazy that you want to die on this hill so bad and all based on “the data is wrong” and “my friends said they were sketchy”. Since you are resorting to things I didn’t say to attack me, I’ve realized that this is a waste of time. Good luck - make sure to practice your bigotry in silence, though - unlike this shithead professor but like thousands of professors who are not shithead enough to put it in writing. That will definitely help everyone.
