Re: [Goanet] Hindus and Muslims, and Amos Noronha (O Heraldo, 25/9/2022)
[Re-sending. I mistakenly hit the Send key before checking the draft.] One of the curious observations about ‘Progressives’ is, when presented with naked muslim thuggery and criminal activity, they turn into instant skeptics. They arm themselves with doubt, there is a lot of nuance to the apparent muslim misconduct, they tell us, and that neither our eyes nor social media is to be trusted, they plead. But if some disturbance, even the most minor of incidents, involves Hindus and Hindutva, their certitude returns. No stick is small enough to beat Hindus with. We are on the threshold of a repeat of the 1930s Nazi era, they squeal on the very social media we are now supposed to mistrust. I may have more to say on this by and by. I try not to comment here on matters not directly related to Goa but I may have to at some point. Best, r
