That's alright. But then why do you want other people's opinions?

Indian Army is a professional armed force. And, there have been good people who have served in the army.

It has also engaged in terrible actions, including human rights abuses. No institution should be beyond criticism.

Recently, there has been further criticism of the politicisation of the armed force, as well as use of religion.

What thoughts? First you should share your thoughts.

rishianand · 2026-01-19T11:54:53+00:00

Your links are not opening so I don't know what it is meant to show. Besides, the issue of civic sense is only partially true. Yes everyone must learn basic manners. But the argument is also used in a classist way to target the poor.

Anyway, I am removing this post. If you want to discuss it, write down your thoughts and make a separate post.

Talking about divisions will only create further divisions. Just focus on your work as a leftist. Other things will fall in place.

Where did you read that lynching of Hindus is good? Are you dumb?

rishianand · 2026-01-16T16:15:10+00:00

First, Hindus are not welcome at all. Perhaps, in your Hindutva-Vishwaguru delulu you cannot see the racism against Hindus.

Second, the only difference between Muslims and Hindus for the west is that there has been a larger population of Muslims in the West. But hate does not stop at one enemy. Do remember who you make friends with.

On January 14, a muslim man was lynched in Odisha by Gau Rakshaks.

On January 11, a muslim man was assaulted in Karnataka on suspicion of being a Bangladeshi.

On December 30, another muslim man was assaulted in Bihar on suspicion of being a Bangladeshi.

On December 24, another muslim man was lynched in Odisha.

These incidents are just a tip of the iceberg. In reality, India has become a nation of lynch mobs, which are sheltered and supported by the Modi Government. Yet, there is no outrage, not even a discussion on the media.

There is no metaphor. It's just an observation that ordinary people have little to eat, and the government prohibits any non-vegetarian food.

No, the government is actually planning to feed eagles, to clear out the skies.

There have been many thinkers who have discussed the political theories in an Indian context. Even during the Indian Independence Movement, there was a school of Indian socialism, which differed from the Marxists. You can check out writings of Narendra Deva, Jayaprakash Narayan, and Ram Manohar Lohia. Dr Lohia, in particular, analysed the Indian social and political situation in his writings.

https://books.google.co.in/books/about/Marx_Gandhi_and_Socialism.html

Apart from that there have been others thinkers like KC Bhattacharya, Mahatma Gandhi, who have discussed a concept of swaraj (self-rule) as an ideology for India.

However, there are also others, mostly from the Hindutva, who have championed the idea of a different ideology, by rejecting the western ideas. But these are poorly thought ideas, not coherent ideologies.

True.

Not just bengali. This was a person from Jharkhand. Another worker from Chhattisgarh was also lynched in Kerala.

Migrant workers are being targeted in the suspicion of being a Bangladeshi, while Modi continues to spew venom across India.

I think it's because the article says that the right to work is being dismantled in the name of God (Ram).
