@w7voa How does #India expect to be taken seriously by democracies? First in Canada, now the US… how many other foreign citizens have been targeted in their home counties because India can’t separate religion and state?

@jenna @w7voa because it's the separatists who'd rather separate the state itself rather than separate the religion from the state.

@vidyarthi @w7voa Not sure exactly what you mean, but I believe people have the right to self determination. Tibet should be separate from China, Catalan from Spain, because the people who have homes on the land should get to decide their governance.

@jenna @w7voa sure but that doesn't separate religion from the state, in fact it often does the opposite. Thankfully that's not what happened to India after the partition in 1947, but not all nations were lucky.
