[Goanet] Karnataka - the new bastion of Hindu intolerance.
Karnataka like Gujarat and Orissa used to be one of the most peaceful states in India once upon a time.That is till the BJP took over. Karnataka is today hogging the headlines but not for its IT prowess or cultured people. Goa is next on the radar of these forces as the gathering of hindutva forces at Panjim showed last month. Read on for more details. http://www.outlookindia.com/fullprint.asp?choice=2&fodname=20090209&fname=Cover+Story&sid=1 Regards, Marshall
[Goanet] Karnataka - the new bastion of Hindu intolerance.
Well said Selma. Congratulations for dubbing the entire Hindu community as Fundamentalist. It’s a pity that the anti-Hindu, quasi-intelligent ilk, that you represent. Surely you are euphoric about a handful of these misguided elements in Mangalore out of the 80 crore Hindu community who are apprehended and mere allegiance of some people who have indulged in violence on churches and Pub and are Hindu by faith is enough for you to call them "Hindu fundamentalist and terrorists". The action of these few fundamentalist gives you the leverage to equate all the Hindus with Jehadi terrorists and it is become your leisure pursuit for bashing all the Hindus of Karnataka and now of Goa. I think you are staying in Dubai , imagine if you had to accuse the entire Muslim community of UAE as fundamentalist in local media over there , you would know the consequences that your beheading would have been certain for blasphemy and the footage would have been uploaded on You tube for entire world to watch. I do not condone these violent acts, neither I am against criticizing these fundamentalist organizations like VHP and all the types of Senas and I do not mind demanding ban on these organizations. But labeling their acts who are not representatives of entire Hindu population as Hindu extremism or Hindu Terror is outright prejudiced.

In a perverse way, the Mangalore pub incident is good news, because now we know that no one is safe from Hindu extremism. That sooner or later some excuse will be found to attack the disadvantaged and disenfranchised. It's interesting that India is paddling backwards so fast, we can't even catch our breath. In anycase, this should be a warning to all those going to vote in the next election. Vote BJP at your peril. And those who think BJP in Goa is any different, there is an old Goan saying, you can put the dog's tail in the cannon but you can't straighten it out.Cheers,Selma--- On Tue, 2/3/09, Marshall Mendonza wrote:>>http://www.outlookindia.com/fullprint.asp?choice=2&fodname090209&fname=Cover+Story&sid=1 >>Regards, >>Marshall

How worried do we have to be that sooner or later the majority of Indians in Goa and other states will want to assault girls in bars and kill Christians?

Re: [Goanet] Karnataka - the new bastion of Hindu intolerance.
Vinay, Here are terms that are routinely used to describe people whose agenda is driven by a cocktail of politics and religion: Zionists, Christian fundamentalists, Islamacists, Muslim terrorists, Jehadis, Hindu right-wing extremists. Now, if you were waiting for me to use the much more benign and euphemistic term, "Hindu nationalist" you are out of luck. In no way do these groups represent nationalism. And that old trick of trying to absolve these groups of the religious badge that they wear, is not going to work either. Best, selma --- On Fri, 2/6/09, Vinay Natekar wrote: > Well said Selma.
