Threatened to convert to Islam for promoting Hindu-Muslim unity and harmony

Amongst today's news in the Indian Express is an article about how a Hindu professor who wrote articles about Hindu's and Muslims staying together in harmony has been threatened and asked to convert to islam in 6 months and start offering namaaz 5 times a days, failing which he would be given the punishment meant for infidels (here infidels means non muslims/ those who dont beleive in islam).

So, in a Hindu majority country, a hindu writes about Hindu's staying harmoniously with Muslims and is threatened to convert to Islam or be punished.

Are these the actions of a subjugated minority?

In fact, if this is how the 15% minority can threaten the 80% Hindu majority, imagine what they can do when their numbers reach 30-40%?

And if they cross 50%, get ready for a Hindu genocide the way we have witnessed in Pakistan and Bangladesh.

This should be a reality check for all those who still delude themselves about muslims and hindus living peacefully.

If someone doesnt want to live peacefully with you and in fact threatens to convert/ kill you because you have spoken about wanting to stay peacefully with them, we need to re-evaluate how much peace we want and whether our tolerance is reciprocated or if it is considered cowardice

USA rolls out scheme for expedited immigration clearance for Indians

Amongst the news today was an article on how the USA has included India in a scheme whereunder low risk travellers (who need to be pre-approved) from India will avail of expedited clearance.
While the number of beneficiaries under this scheme might not be very high, this is a noteworthy step and a milestone for the Indian government because the scheme covers only 10 other countries (considering furthermore that this comes at a time when the USA is tightening rules for immigrants and visitors from numerous other countries).

It is a testimonial to the extent to which India's stock globally has gone up, all thanks for the leadership and vision of the BJP government under the capable leadership of Shri Narendra Modi.

What a sea change in attitudes from a few years back when Shri Modi was refused visa's in Western countries because anti India and anti Hindu forces used the bogey of Gujarat riots to malign Modi ji/ BJP/ the Hindu religion and India  under the guide of human/ religious rights (never mind that leaders of states like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Saudi, other Middle Eastern countries etc - which have carried large scale progroms against minorities in their own countries and have a terrible record when it comes to minority and women's rights - are all treated as state guests and no protests are ever carried out against them).

Reminds me of the hindi song - jhukti hai duniya, jhukane wala chahiye.

What comes first for minorities - Religion or Country ?

Apropos Narendra Modi’s recent visit to Israel, a lot of people are critical and have expressed their desire to prioritise Palestine instead. These guys comprise of muslims, communists and self-proclaimed liberals - all of whom openly favour Palestine, a country which has always supported Pakistan over India in various international forums (and these guys also bitterly loath Israel in spite of the fact that Israel has always assisted India in overcoming the challenges of terrorism and radicalisation).

These guys are proving beyond doubt that for them religion matters more than the interests of India (so they identify themselves with their co-religionists in countries which are thousands of miles away, even to the extent of harming India’s security interests).

And a question to these guys -how come they never felt so strongly about the ethnic cleansing of Hindu pandits in Kashmir (where muslims indulged in mass murders, rapes and other forms of violence and subjugation)?

Hindu’s need to identify such traitors within, whose loyalty is towards their religion/ ideology than to India, more so because these people possess voting rights and have a say in the formation of the Indian government (and hence can exercise a detrimental influence on India's foreign and defence policy - which then manifests itself into minority appeasement practised by pseudo secular political parties) but whose heart beats for countries other than India.

As long as muslims are in a minority, they will harp about secularism, freedom for all religions, tolerance etc, but the moment they form the majority, it will mean the forcible imposition of their own religion and a complete lack of freedom or respect for followers of other religions.

The scenario is not as fat fetched as it sounds. Just look at the dire plight of Hindu’s, Christians, Sikhs and Buddhists in Pakistan and Bangladesh to understand (and accept) the harsh reality.

Stretching laws as much as possible for minorities

Today's TOI had an article on how the SC has granted the Maharashtra govt yet another 'last chance' to remove encroachments at the Haji Ali dargah.

Have you ever noticed how muslim trusts and mosques are usually not touched at all or given ample time to resolve issues when it comes to encroachments (even on public land) or illegal constructions, whereas if the encroachers or illegal constructions are Hindu, then the law is followed strictly, both in letter and in spirit, ad that too post haste, with nary a thought to the religious sentiments of the peaceful, tolerant and peace loving majority.

The obvious reason is that muslims resort to rioting and violence and complain of muslim subjugation and islamophobia in such cases, even if they are legally in the wrong. Hindu's, on the other hand, rarely protest in such matters (and even when they do, it is branded as communalism and fascism by our mainstream media and pseudo secular parties like congress, bsp, sp, rjd, tmc, jdu, cpi etc).
