To Goanet - The Indian Leftist dregs led by their patron-saint Amartya Sen are now out in full force issuing apologia on behalf of Islam and Islamic terrorists.
But who speaks for the Hindus? Nobody. Why? Because we are 'secular.' India has already lost the PR war to Pakistan. The narrative in America is now constructed to include Pakistan in the same sentence as India, as if to convey that Pakistan has been equally targeted by Islamic terrorism. The Pakis are skilled in the PR department. They trot out smartly dressed Oxbridge-accented individuals on television who can charm the pants off Americans and other world audiences. The Indians, on the other hand, are missing in action. And when the Indian govt finally sends a rep, it will be some stuttering, doddering, apologetic oaf. Leftist frauds like Amartya have peculiar standards of induction. He tells us that we should not mistake the "miniscule" Muslim population for the larger whole. But in his periodic rants against Hindus, it is exactly the miniscule extreme Hindu fringe that will do it for him. Mathematically, Amartya's inductive screed can be summarized thusly: Miniscule number of bad Muslims << good Muslims. Miniscule number of bad Hindus = Hindus. Amartya has no issue with Islam whatsoever, an ideology that has terrorized and traumatized India for a thousand years. But public worship of Shri Rama gives him piles.
