Draft talk:Hinduphobia

Citation 2

I hope your goal with cite-2 (i.e. https://www.indiaabroad.com/opinion/hinduphobia-in-america-and-the-end-of-irony/article_852d3604-6323-11ea-b179-07cf88c6bd50.html) is to treat it as the dubious capture of anti-bigotry language by far right nationalists that it sure seems to be.

It makes a random aside to talk article 370, which had protected the right of the Kashmiri government to manage its domestic laws separately from India's at large, and was set up due to the concerns about the Hindu majority of the country creating unreasonable laws on the Muslim minority in the reigion. It treats any opposition to repealing 370 as inherently anti-hindu. Which is the kind of weird psycho fundie bullshit I'd hate if it happened here. The same "Gay marriage oppresses christians" nonsense that clearly doesn't hold water.

It's pretty clear now with the national government doing things like suppressing phone service on Republic Day in case there might be protests, and tanks still driving down the streets years after those concerns were raised, that 370 being revoked was absolutely a Hindu nationalist power play. But that fucking piece of trash human author treats it as hinduphobia.

I know I'm talking about issues in a country that isn't my own and I have a lot to learn about like I'm some kind of expert, but randomly jumping topics from open, public displays of bigotry to how bad the left is for some policy position is one of those red flags that screams "I'm a right wing hack" ikanreed ^{🐐Bleat at me} 18:26, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
