Societies cannot be surgically operated. When you cut it open from one part, the entire body starts bleeding. There is no amputation for societies. Plus no state can establish peace by violating the social contract for 20% of its population.

The shock waves of this step have the potential to destabilise the country. It may appear audacious, but this government is digging his own grave.

Being indifferent is no longer an option.

The list isn't exhaustive but it is what it is.

There's no way a population of 200 Million can be killed. As much as Savarkar fetishized #Nazi Germany, that extermination is practically impossible. There are some limits to the idea of Hindu rashtra, fortunately.

But what CAB is going to do is to alienate that 200 million. Strip away their sense of belonging to this country and rupture the social fabric upon which this country was built upon.

2. Victimisation for majoritarian appeasement through laws like triple talaq bill
3. Public calls for #genocide #Muslims and rape threats for Muslim women by elected lawmakers
4. Collusion of the state in cases of localised communal riotings
5. Systematic attacks on Muslim identity and history
6. Blockade of #Kashmir
7. Disregard of the criminality of #babrimasjid demolition
8. Threats of denationalization through #NRC
9. Massive #Facebook and #WhatsApp campaign to spread islamophobia

There's no point engaging with #Bhakts anyway. If Mota bhai gave them shit wrapped in paan they'd still eat it arguing there's no scientific study which conclusively proves eating shit is bad for health.

But the politically ignorant and indifferent #Indian population, that's the one who needs to be confronted.

Since 2014, Indian #Muslims have witnessed the following:

1. Mob #lynchings on suspicions of eating beef or transporting cattle

The scope of Mr. #Bloomberg’s ad buy is staggering. It is more than all of Mr. Bloomberg’s potential rivals — other than the other billionaire running, Tom Steyer — have spent on television ads all year, and about double what Senator Cory Booker had raised in donations from February through the end of September.
The 60-second biographical commercials will begin on Monday in more than two dozen states and roughly 100 news media markets from California to Maine, a preview of a 2020 campaign budget that could easily stretch into the nine-figure range.

How to hack #democracy 101. He has already entered the presidential race. #Capitalism continues to screw the layman over and over.

Michael R. Bloomberg, the billionaire former mayor of New York City, spent at least $30 million on Friday for a single week of television ads, a show of financial force that signals his willingness to use his vast personal fortune to reshape the Democratic presidential race.

#Allah says in the Qur'an in Surah Al Ma'arij about the weaknesses in the nature of human beings and how they can be overcome with spiritual strength sought through As Salah (the #Islamic #prayer)

Can someone recommend a good website for #Iranian #Movies and #series?

Needs to have English subtitles

This is a good illustration of a fundamental aspect of Sangh politics: that it appeals to violent, base, crude elements of human nature: revenge, fear, hatred, bloodlust, etc. I am amazed that the likes of @[email protected] ever saw 'hope' and 'sunny optimism'. Willing blindness.

“"Balatkar ke badle balatkar" - A statement supporting rape from Retd Maj General SP Sinha, a BJP member. Not surprising, coming from a follower of Savarkar, who said that rape is a political tool. He must have been in service when the Kunan-Poshpora crimes were committed. https://t.co/zGEZf0ycDa”
