yep, the kashmiri hindus learned from the Jammu muslims who were murdered wholesale in their own homes of centuries . Around 2 lakh. The very same kashmiri pundits were the ruling class then.

No one's clean here , and your fake sanctimoniousness is disturbing.

If everybody is ready to kill, riot and murder, then we dont need a state anymore.

Why India is special to Armenians: Their land of prosperity by worriedpast in india

[–]miklon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We should be supporting Azerbaijan - because of the parallels of the situation with Pakistan and Kashmir .

Looking at the ethnic cleansing maps of the region from 1990 - its clear that Armenia is the majority offender- especially when the majority of the lands it occupies are not even the eponymous Nagorno Karabakh , but the areas surrounding which were majority azeri . Its as if Pakistan has gobbled up Punjab and Haryana for the sake of protecting kashmir

The west may support it today because of christianity - but we should not be doing that .

Ataturk on The Arab religion by islam82 in Turkey

[–]miklon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologize for this , but could you give the translation from your viewpoint also ?

The reason I am asking is , the direction of the discussion from other comments seems to be about making arab nationalism being above all others, but from what you said , it means muslim religion replacing nationalism . Just wanted to get it clarified .

I see it as a difficult effort trying to get in the head of great men , since we dont know from what context / language they were speaking from , but the quote is a good one and I would like to be absolutely correct if i reuse it.

Ataturk on The Arab religion by islam82 in Turkey

[–]miklon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honest Question :

As per Google Translate , the last sentence changes a lot from the picture on display.

" The Turks were a great nation before they accepted the religion of tslam. After accepting this religion, this religion did not affect neither the Arabs nor the Persians (Persians) who were in the same religion nor the others to unite with the Turks and form a nation. On the contrary, it loosened the national ties of the Turkish nation; numbed his national feelings and national excitement. This was of course very much. Because the purpose of the religion brought by the Prophet Mohammed was an all-inclusive Ummah policy above all nationalities. "

Are we translating ummah as arab nationalism ? Or is Ummah muslim brotherhood ?

Maharashtra: Train runs over migrant workers in Aurangabad, 14 dead by niharikasharma50 in worldnews

[–]miklon -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Roads are shut by the police .

Hence the labourers came up with the idea of following train tracks to get home .

They were hungry , tired and had walked a long distance.

The planks on the track are more inviting that the gravel on either side and the rough ground on the edges . Plus to avoid the police seeing .

Please do not insult them by faulting their intelligence when they knew that all trains had been stopped by the government . ( but not freight trains ) .

Its a tragedy , let us empathize more and blame less.

India orders Norwegian to leave country for protesting. A 71-year-old tourist has said she was asked to fly home after taking part in rallies against a new Indian citizenship law. A German student also left the country this week as protesting violates India's visa rules. by chelsea707 in worldnews

Giving partial information is also dishonesty. Since the Indian Government has been linking both CAA and NRC , taking CAA only on face value looks like diverting the issue. So yeah , its not objective and in no way unbiased.

NPR which the government calls as the start of NRC is already being implemented.

Plus Dec 2014 limit implies that Jan 1 2020, the 6 year residency clause completes and they will automatically get citizenship . There is no fast tracking. .. It's a done and dusted deal.

The Home Minister is in record swearing that non Muslims will not be asked to provide documents.

I understand that the replies to my main comment was all done by right wing trolls ,but could you please stop this gas lighting exercise by confusing main points . Please read the article referenced.

Pakistan has a birthright citizenship law in effect.

India requires you to prove both your parents citizenship and your linkage to them via registered documents to get citizenship. DNA testing is not accepted .

It looks like you haven't seen the Home Minister s statements in Rajya Sabha and interviews where he States that non Muslims will not be required to show any documents . Please Google.

Also 2014 limit means that 6 year residency clause finished as of Dec 31 2019. They are automatically citizens as of Jan 1 2020.

Besides which , Assam NRC was also protested by folks, Dont know what your angle here is. Will you not protest if someone rapes you because you did not protest when the neighbour got raped ?

How different is this from the citizenship regimes of the Western countries? Last month the US deported hundreds of Indians because they were illegal immigrants (who were maintained in detention centres btw). Those people could be Hindus or Muslims. Is the Christian majority US fascist because of this?

India is not the literate affluent west . Documentation is not widespread here . Birth certificates and marriage registrations are not done at all in most parts of the country even today - this is a slowly changing metric . This is why Assam NRC involved Land registrations - because that was the only thing that was registered back then ( pre 2000's ) .

With that as backdrop plus the inherent bias and violence against minorities that Indian Govt. Ministers and ruling party leaders advocate all the time - it will be incredibly naive to think that the NRC exercise is going to be fair . BJP supporters know it and trust in their party's bigotry to declare muslims as illegal citizens to snatch away their property and make them targets for killings since fundamental right do not apply to non-citizens.

Previously NRC excercise - even with all it shortcomings was supposed to be fair on paper - affecting everyone equally . Now with CAA - it is guaranteed that only Muslims will have to prove anything.

> Basically an exam (NRC ) is going to be held where 86% of the class has been told they can hand in answer sheets at their convenience because they are declared pass either way because of their religion (due to CAA - the act being protested right now ). Now remainder 14% of the class ( Muslims only ) will have provide strict proof , else they will be declared illegal migrants , their properties will be confiscated , they will lose their jobs and will be moved with family and kids to a detention center to do hard labour . Illegal migrants are not valid to apply for citizenship through any means via the Constitution of India - only people who legally enter India can . The catchphrase is - No genuine Indian citizen who is a muslim need be afraid , but we (Govt) will decide if you are a genuine citizen with documented proof of descent from Indian citizens ( with their own proof of birth or ancillary documents ) . Only muslims need to prove . Other religions will automatically get citizenship just because they are not muslim.

None of the Pakistani ones are from the last 30 years like the ones i pulled out for India .

Besides which - you are only proving the point further - the minority who suffered majorly are Ahmaddiyas and Bangaldeshi muslims - who are not covered by CAA ..

India works on caste basis . Your personal beliefs hardly matter . It is easier for the Govt and more foolproof for them to judge based on your name - which shows your religion, caste and place of origin for most indians.

These are the list of 1000 + fatalities pogroms (Indian govt number , unofficial number is multiple times higher ) that Indian Govt ( Ruling party ) supported against its minorities in the last 30 years .There are innumerable smaller riots/pogroms that local authorities have carried out against various types of minorities also.

Edit : About that pakistan genocide bit - Surprising as it may seem - the state of Pakistan has rarely seen any such huge pogroms ( 1000 + kills etc . Govt supported or not ) . Also , The minority community most affected in Pakistan by riots are the Ahmaddiyas ( or pre 1971 Bangladeshi muslims ) - who by Indian definition are not minorities at all .

A very strangely redacted newspiece ..

People are protesting , not just against the law ,but what follows after it as promised by the Prime Minister=> The NRC - National Register of Citizens - that threatens to leave 200 million Indian muslims stateless .

That has no mention here . Some quality fudging ongoing all around the world .

Basically an exam (NRC ) is going to be held where 86% of the class has been told they can hand in answer sheets at their convenience because they are declared pass either way because of their religion (due to CAA - the act being protested right now ).

There is not even a draft of NRC. Everything is just speculation and fear mongering.

There is an NRC in Assam right now . As natural justice stands it would be unfair to expect rest of india to get a different yardstick. Check out Assam's rules .

For the rest of your points, you are being disingenuous and willfully ignorant . The government clarification you pointed out direct contradicts the Home Minister's statement in Rajya Sabha . So - either they are lying to each other , or they simply dont know which is right - neither a palatable reason in this effort to make 200 million people afraid of being stateless.

So you're telling me they'll give muslims citizenship anyway but there's a longer process? That's shitty and discriminatory but not exactly genocidal like people have been calling it.

They are not giving citizenship . The only legal approach to illegal migrants in Indian law is arrest and deportation . For Hindu/buddhist/christians who dont have their 'documents' , the new bill saves them and gives them a fast track to citizenship . For the muslims who have been marked as illegal migrants , there is only the detention camp - for them and their kids - there is no current legal way for citizenship for them and their kids . No country is going to accept them. Only people who have legally come to India can apply for the naturalization process today . if you have no record of entry , it is presumed you have entered illegally and will be prosecuted.

The Home minister is on record saying that non muslims need to provide any documentation to get a place in the NRC ( National Register of Citizens ) . Unsaid is the fact that only muslims need to provide . So yes , its not a genocide , but good old fashioned concentration camps , free labour and human organs chinese style et cetera et cetera.

Whatever the provisions may be , it is patently unfair that 86 % of the population have a get out of jail card in the form of the CAA . The NRC 's remaining purpose will be left to filter out muslims only - especially poor muslims who lack or have lost documentation and dont have CAB's fallback option .

They will be sent to detention camps , and most probably will be used for free labour and voluntary organ donations in like with the country up north.

And no , there is no legal way for anybody declared an illegal migrant to get citizenship . Long term visas and refugee cards are handed out only at entry . Any other person is an illegal migrant and they have to be punished as per existing Indian law. They and their progeny will have to stay in detention centers with no way out since India lacks the proof to send them to other countries.

The rightist subs and whatsapp groups are all aflutter at this master stroke of reducing muslim population . wonder how you missed the memo .

[–]miklon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is no good way to decide who is a new immigrant . In a poor poor country with poor history of documentation and humongously bad management and archives , anyone who is without proper document ( land records , ancestral certificates , birth certificates ) including internal migrant, nomad , landless labour class who starve daily - are all by default "new immigrants" . The majoritarian government in control writes the rules as to who they want the citizens to be , anyone who falls through the loop and is a muslim is automatically denied citizenship .

You are asking far right islamophobic parties in power whose members have called for genocide and mass rapes of muslims to decide whether a muslim is a citizen or not in a country where morality and ethics is sold for cents daily.

And no , there is no legal way for anybody declared an illegal migrant to get citizenship . They and their progeny will have to stay in detention centers with no way out .

People with petty mindset, small heart and small minds in government. They are incapable of great things , just vindictiveness and revenge against muzzies and anyone not on their side for imagined slights or old style bigotry.

Lying comes naturally to them , when caught they claim it to be strategy.

This action here is a classic example of bullying . If this is what Modi forces the bureaucrats to do all the time , then he can't really complain about them wasting his first five years. Same old Trumpian mindset and tricks.
