What lies in India’s future may not merely be further sporadic, localised troubles between Hindus and Muslims, but something wider and more painful

Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskOver the past 50 years, Indian governments have repeatedly dampened such local eruptions by mouthing words of regret, paying a bit of compensation and tapping some retired worthy to write a soon-forgotten report. No longer. The Bharatiya Janata Party which rules both at the centre in Delhi, the capital, and in about half of India’s states, is itself a child of the.

To many Indians and in particular to the country’s 200m Muslims, the world’s biggest religious minority, the government’s shrug of indifference to growing distress is deeply ominous. It does more than offer tacit approval to mob violence and mob justice. It suggests that in the emerging Hindu, some will always be more equal than others, with religious identity becoming a measure of citizenship.

During this period the institutional vigilance needed to sustain pluralism had slowly eroded, with police, courts and the press across much of India growing partisan. The global wave of Islamist terror in the 2000s, which also struck India hard, did not help. The use of disparaging language about minorities was long shunned in polite society. It is now increasingly acceptable.

In this way, a narrative of the awfulness of Muslims has grown increasingly entrenched, and is all the more easily exploited by thethis shows in policies to counter such imagined abuses as “love jihad”, “land jihad” and “job jihad”, supposed campaigns to usurp Hindu women, property and opportunities.

Same tweet for propaganda.

Requesting back the encroached temples from the Tyrants through a democratic legal process is Making India a Hindu State? Left Liberals and their theories. By the way Hinduism is the most secular faith in the world.

Christianity and Islam have been biggest threat to humanity and world peace. Just to hide their toxicity they call others names like fascists.

As soon as they sense a pro Hindu judgment impending, the toolkit is activated.. expecting to see a few of these BS 'rinse and repeat' articles from the usual suspects.. economist check, watch out for WAPO next..

How many politicians support requirement that followers of ideology at war (FOIAW) pass psych evaluation to have surrender accepted and must understand consequences of breach of surrender and treason to enter country?

Mavs doing nothing but taking 3s it seems. They need to get in the paint.

Mughal architecture is amazing! They always built an ancient Hindu temple in the basement first.

Muslims now but Christians, Sikhs etc next.

Oh shut up.

When media can't digest India's progress, they try to drag India on fake issues. Media should also mention any Muslim majority country which is secular? Pakistan and Bangladesh which Hindus were 35%, where are they now? Biased Media.

Islam/Mughals never belonged to India. They were invaders who invaded Hindustan to loot plunder, Terrorize,imposed islam, destroyed Hindu temples, killed Hindus, Sikhs, forcibly converted to Islam & built islamic tombs mosques on Hindu lands, spiritual cities of Hindus illegaly

The world should speak up..

No one will take sides with Muslims anymore. We will not accept a single blood shed of non-muslin on this Bharat in the name of religion. Muslims must learn to coexist with other religions in India. We all coexist here with Islam as exception. Why the privilege to Islam?

India the land of extremism Pre independence - Hindu , Mughals, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism After 1947 - All Follow Constitution except for Islam. 75 years on and they (Islam in India) still cannot coexist with other religions.

BJP the political arm of RSS a fascist movement inspired by the Nazism has used Hindu relegion riddled with castism to push its fascist agenda with leaders like Modi and Amit Shah imbued in this religious ideology

India was integrated by religion in 1947. Now reacting to Govt. policies is competition to economic growth.

Loool...India is not with the US over Ukrain conflict that the press hitmen are at work.

It is called Hindustan for a reason

Nothing is for ever. All things have a expiry date. History: Prior to WWII all the the powers who ganged up against the Nazis were trade and technology partners of the Nazi regime.

The Federalist Society has similar plans for the United States.

Emerging Hindu nationalism? Have you been living in a cave somewhere? It's not a new phenomenon.

*' why did you pick up my law suite Mobi? exod 20:16'*

Have fun with that, India. Ask Israel how it’s working out for them.

India is the land of a billion-and-a-third idiots. Modi is an enemy incarnate in the form of their savior, who has seized the opportunity to destroy the country. Modi is pure evil. I wish Britain could take back their crown jewel.

GorwayGlobal Why isn't this Fake Economist out playing Frisbee with its dog.

what will happen if modi's dogs take over the world ?

what will happen if hindu dogs take over the world?

I dunno much about Modi, but if he's keeping Moslems in line in India, props to him. I can feel y'alls burn, The Economist.

Why are we seeing articles related to India out of nowhere?

who & why scratches the issue? Just think about the things happenning in Sweden! Is it just a coincidence?
