1. Swamy is a troll, he is nobody, he is nominated member in Rajya Sabha with no voting power. He is not taken seriously in India. Trivia - his daughter has married a muslim.
Modi and Shah is trying their level best to make a good relation with BD. They are giving statements which is unheard in previous regimes. For example pressurize Mamta for teesta water. IMO this govt is one of the most pro BD govt India has ever had. Do you think they will war on BD?
2. You told BD is secular, so in a secular country one has to say always in the tunes of the mass. Here i also want to mention the killing of bloggers.
Yes you are right, Once Jyoti Basu told riot not happens in West Bengal as we don't want it to happen. Even after Babri Masjid nothing happened here. But your police failed in multiple incidents. But I can see frequent one sided riots in BD. You don't have to justify them by telling no one died.
Agree on that part your central govt is secular and dealing them with iron hand, but not the opposition party.
I can say govt in BD is secular but people are more religious minded than people in India. Even your elected MP is running to cut head of a president of a country.
If population increase a measure, Muslims growth will definitely come in flying colour to state India is secular. Keep an eye on Indian census 2021 if it happens. We will surely prove we are more secular than others.
Bangladesh has changed alot since babri masjid reactionary mob violence days,....
Bloggers who openly hurt religious sentiments are not protected by the state, this is a separate issue relating to vigilantism and anarchism when it comes to professional provocateurs aka bloggers, not related to Bangladesh's secular credentials.
Hurting religious sentiments is a highly punishable offence in Bangladesh, from what I understand GoB despises these bloggers, they're gone now anyway.
Indian Muslims breed alot, does that mean they're free from oppression ? They don't regularly get lynched ?
Don't tell me about WB, I'm talking about India, do they get lynched regularly or no ? On suspicions of eating beef and a plethora of other ridiculous allegations.
Indian Muslims are aplenty in the backward states of BIMARU, they breed alot there, irrespective of religious affiliations.... So population increase in that scenario is barely proof of religious harmony.
Bangladeshi people needn't be secular, most respect minorites right to live as long as they don't spew filth about revered Islamic figures and personalities.
Even then the GoB steps in to protect minorities who let it slip about Islam, anyhow, not all Muslims have the impulse to seek violence when they're offended. The people who come down to violence are very few but the Indian media loves to zoom in on these personalities.
We are going in the right direction with time people are distancing themselves from violence and anarchism.
I had a lot of respect for India, for the state, especially how they maintained a relatively secular state in which everyone was given the right to have a good life.
But come 2014, I realized that beneath the surface India and a certain percentage of its populace were bloodthirsty extremists.
Modi and the BJP were merely the catalyst, the reactants were always present, the facade has come off now, India will never go back to what it used to be.
So forgive me for sounding like a broken record but Bangladesh is a thousand times more secular than the India of 2020.
The Bangladeshi civil society and intelligentsia are vehemently secular and they're taking the country and it's masses towards the right direction as a society.
Here, by secularism, I refer to the realization that looking the lines of religion beliefs is essential for maximizing human efficiency.
If Bangladeshi muslims aren't lynching Hindus for molding figurines of the Kali, Christians for asking 'Jishu' for help, Buddhist for wearing monk attire...
Then that Bangladesh is secular enough for me, that Bangladesh is not a perfect world, it is not a utopia, but it is a step in the right direction, It's miles ahead of the present day India, which has a penchant for walking backwards in terms of religious harmony and national unity.
Ask yourself this, If Bangladesh was up to the brim with violent mullahs, as it is very frequently portrayed in 5 taka WB media, then why are we the only Muslim majority country being ruled by a female head of state ?
Islamists reject the concept of women being leaders but in Bangladesh we have had women in power for 25 out of 50 years of our independence and the last 20 years, women have been leading us on a stretch.
Surely, Islamists wouldn't take to this kindly......
Discrediting Bangladesh's secular credentials by jumping onto the slander bandwagon after every instance of vigilante activity (which never result in minority fatalities, irrespective of the veracity of the accusations against the minority member) will not change the fact that India is a deeply communal country.
It is now out there in the open for the whole world to see, India is communal country, led by a Hindu extremists, who personally oversaw mob violence including murder and mass rape....
So my advice for Indians including you and Swami is to focus on India, it needs real patriots now and it needs them bad.... Mixing religion and politics for votes is a grave mistake.
When you play with fire, you get burnt, India has been playing with fire since 2014, India will pay due pennance soon.....
Save your country. Elected officials don't engage in petty 'trolling'. We Bangladeshis can handle ours.
India isn't the godfather of all Hindus worldwide, perhaps by continually interfering in others internal affairs, India has given way to an image that Hindus are Indian agents ? Food for thought.
Good day to you.
