    love how bro tries to cover it up saying he’s being “nuanced”

    “They don’t wear deodorant and they’re annoying. But also people think they’re taking jobs in a collapsing job market 😃☝️”

    Would've been more respectable if he just flat out said it

    "theyre taking the jobs"

    thats called human trafficking bro, they're literally being shipped here to work for ten cents an hour. wild how people can then be racist to them on top of it.

    I saw a post the other day where a dude was being racist towards them and you had Indian people in the comments defending it.

    Happens a lot in Toronto as there is a historic large south asian/west indian contingent. They don't want to be mistaken or taken for a new immigrant because the sentiment towards those are significantly worse.

    This is especially common in certain hoods like Malvern where residents don't want to have the reputation of a place like Brampton, where a lot of new Indian immigrants end up via exploitation

    assuming you are Indian or part of the diaspora you know as well as I do that Hindutva was not a reaction to islamic terrorism or geopolitical tensions but a fascist mysticism based on ethnic and religious exclusion and it effects dozens of ethnic minorities which don't even strictly adhere to Islam. all this about Hinduism being "inherently a religion of peace" is meaningless because religions are not "inherently" anything, they are ideological justifications for the machinations of the ruling class

    I think my wording was really wrong on this one. So, let me start over.
    1. The British played Hindus and Muslims against each other. Because that way they could control India easier.
    2. Riots in India were common back then. Muslims wanted Pakistan. Hindus retaliated back with violence.
    3. Hindutva was founded in the 1920s to be more exact. At a time, those public riots were at an all time high.
    4. However, the Hindutva movement did not find any real success in India until really 2014. Which in my opinion is a result of Hindus becomes more radicalised over a course of these 100 years because of these three wars against Pakistan, Kashmir, terrorist attacks etc.
    I am Sikh btw. So I am not taking a pro Hindu stance at all.

    this is all true except you fumbled on part 4. gandhian/nehruian social democracy over the course of 6 decades failed to create a coherent multinational identity, destroy the caste system, or pull billions of people out of poverty. hindutva promised a strong national identity at the cost of explicit social exclusion, which appealed to certain segments of hindu high society. if what you are saying was true then why did India not become explicitly fascist after it gained independence? why did this only happen 60 years later? I generally agree that fascism is a conspiracy against most of the population who reject it but why were fascists able to come to power in the 2010s? only explanation I can think of is that it was the world system and India's place in it that actually changed and the Indian bourgeoisie responded accordingly.

    I agree with you on that. Although, I think mulltiple things can happen at once.

    I am going to stop the whole argument here bc I feel I am being pushed into an argument which I do not really care or stand for. All I really care for is the treatment of the Sikh population in Pakistan and I think I have let that sentiment affect the whole post I made which in turn made me argue for this whole Hindu and Muslim thing

    However, the Hindutva movement is luckily losing steam. Because the BJP couldn't realize the promises they made. The biggest state in India voted largely for the Socialist party this time. And the BJP didn't win a seat in my state again, It will take some time but they are fumbling so many things day by day that I think in some time it will be over for them.
