Gotta love Hindu nationalism…
Religious nationalism is so hot right now.
Y’know I was just sitting out on the veranda, sipping a cool beverage and musing, to myself, y’see, I was thinking there “Hey - what this planet needs is another ethnostate. I mean, really, another ethnostate with nuclear weapons would be ideal.”
And here we are. Boy sometimes everything’s comin’ up Milhouse.
India, Israel, and Pakistan pretending to be functioning democracies with nukes
You need to add America to that list
Hold off until Jan when the new admin comes in. We haven’t yet finished circling the drain. Don’t want to call this stuff too early.
On the plus side my kids will be dual citizens soon.
religious fervor.
Modi takes his orders from Stephen Harper a wannabe autocrat who runs a shadowy organizations pushing the far right across the democratic world.It’s why Pierre Poilievre doesn’t say anything bad about Modi and India, because they are both in Harper’s org.
This is laughable.
Yah, the former PM of a country 1/50th of the size of India is giving Modi orders.
What a load of lunacy.
For as broken Pakistan is, this is direct evidence of why its a good thing it exists lol.
How exactly?
They claim that they are doing this to help non-muslim refugees fleeing places like Pakistan. Their claim is that they can’t accommodate all refugees so the first preference is for non-muslims being persecuted.
If Pakistan didn’t exist, this persecution wouldn’t be there?
There are no refugees fleeing either country, the borders are locked down and heavily militarized.
The people who do cross the border with visas are very few and only get access via special approval such as if they have family or business due to closeness to the border.
Pakistan doesn’t even accept refugees as citizens anymore because they don’t ever expect anyone to come from India.
The joke is that Pakistan’s founders claimed a united India would never last because it would fall to the Hindu majority who would nationilze around their identity and oppress everyone else which is exactly what happend. And not just with Muslims, the Sikh as well who get frequently blamed for public outrage and protests.
This all happening just gives credit for Pakistan’s purpose because it is a separate country that was created with the intent of avoiding explained problem by being a separate entity and moving all the Muslims there. For its purpose of avoiding being an oppressed minority, it succeded.
Although I do think they should reopen the border and let the remaining Muslim population in India easily move seeing as they are at the hands of Modi who was already involved in a Massacre not even 2 decades ago.
Another thing to note here is this a smokescreen to hide the supreme court’s ruling against the State Bank of India in the Electoral Bonds case.
Before anyone who freaks out without reading the article, no, they’re not removing citizen status for Muslims already in India. They are however making it a lot easier for every religion except Islam to come to India and get nationality
It’s been a while since I’ve read about this but my understanding is that many people in rural areas will lack the documentation showing that they’ve always lived in India and have citizenship. Basically, this would let the government then start questioning people’s citizenship and effectively pretend that many rural Muslims are illegal immigrants while allowing Hindus without documentation to be unaffected.
Exactly this. Already there is a strategy and accusations of “Bangladeshi immigrants” all over the country. Guess what? How do you prove you are not from there when you are poor as shit, are now allowed to communicate (Police will beat you damn near to death), have no paperwork cause you are poor as shit or had poor illiterate parents?
Sonny, you eat meat, you are Muslim, believe it or not, straight to jail.
Oh fuck this is not going to be pretty.
