What's new

India is taking 'holycow' to a whole new level, even killing for it.

For many Hindus...Cow is what Holy Quran is for Muslims.

I might be wrong (as could be you), but I believe the following.

2014 was the landslide they could ever have got. Anti Incumbency PLUS Modi wave (which the country waited 10 years for while the cases went on).

In 2019

There will also be a degree of anti Incumbency. Not even his biggest bhakt can deny the widespread increasing chorus across the country (and classes) about the lack of hard results on the ground.

Baaton se pet nahin bharta.

Secondly the glow and halo around Modi has definitely reduced from 2014. No one can say he's done a Gujarat at the India level. Economically (communally, he may still live up to his inherent promise).

Lastly the increasing disillusionment and discomfort with the sanghee goons across the country.

And more importantly, no reaction from Modi and his team.

Now look at how he won in 2014. 31% of all votes.

I believe he'll TODAY poll a lot lot less.

In two years time, it will be even lower, cause I do not see things improve from here.

He will lose all but the most die hard Hindu fanatic voter base.

And I also believe that most Hindus are not fanatics.

Not yet at least ...

All your points are fine but the Biggest advantage of Modi is the
Feedback and appreciation from the Rural and Less developed regions of India

That is where the Focus of Government has been

Metros were already developed even in 2014

Urban voters are likely to look at the Respective leadership of the Two sides

There Modi VS Rahul is a No brainer

Secondly the Constant Anti Hindu remarks of Congress leaders;

The JNU types getting support from Congress party and Left
have all made the opposition known as Pro MUSLIM parties always appeasing Muslims
and TAKING Hindus for Granted

Third factor is Corruption scandals still tumbling out from UPA

Fourth Factor The Dynastic Leadership of Congress when MOST of India
Likes Self Made people

India has changed ; look at how Congress expels any one who questions Rahul

Finally Modi comes across as a Leader who is Totally hands on ; Focussed
on the Job 24/7 and somebody who who you can TRUST your Country with

Does any leader of the opposition inspire such a Feeling

In 2014 Modi won on HOPE ; This time time it will be on CONFIDENCE and TRUST

Finally the X Factors such as Ram Mandir and our Friendly Neighbors

These can arouse passions in the country

A successful closure and effort on the Ram Mandir issue OR
a Skirmish with Pakistan will shoot up his popularity charts

Be happy for what you have. We Chinese are never happy for what we have, we always think we could have done it better.
Chinese have a chip on their shoulder. Chip called US and Japan. India not so much. That said, China being faster makes Indian growth no slower. India is going ahead pretty fine. So long India can provide a halfway decent life to 1.2 billion diverse Indians, its job is well done.

There should be a limit to exaggerations and HYPE
Reality time Virat Hindus.... I know many Gau terrorists are members of PDF. Hindu terror at it's peak. Anarchy and chaos. It has even reached Delhi that a Police station was raided by Rogi Adityanath's Hindu Yuva vahini Terror organization. Remember the example from our western border - Good and Bad Taliban. Your Good Taliban is RSS and it's terror outfits.

Sreenivasan Jain is from NDTV ; which is a KNOWN Anti Hindu channel

BTW what about that Hindu Doctor from Delhi who was killed by Muslims; last year

You and NDTV wont remember it of course

What about Bengal ; Kashmiri Pandits

Nothing is HIDDEN these days

Why are so many people poking fun at the Hindu faith in their comments?
All 'holy cow' threads on PDF have members ridicule the Hindu belief, while pointing out how ridiculous it is for the Hindus to get upset at cow killing, and how Hindus treat other humans worse than cows. To all those who think along those lines do yourself a favor and pick up a history book to see how religion is a very strong driving force in humans. How many lives have been taken, continue to be taken in the name of religion- not just in India but across the world. Think about that for a minute.
The cow is very much sacred to the Hindus. Consider the outrage if someone insulted Islam- if someone drew a caricature of Prophet Mohammed, or maybe something even more disturbing. If you could ridicule the upset Muslims then, and say that their faith itself is silly - this is the equivalent of that.
There is need to understand that the outrage is not just because of an animal, or that Hindus treat other humans worse than an animal, but that the cow is holy - and to them it is not just an animal.
None of this justifies the Hindu anger, but my point is that people do tend to get very very upset when their religion/ faith is insulted or threatened. This is not an isolated Hindu phenomenon.
Dont trivialize this matter.

Bloody hell, if this is the peak then I will like it to remain at peak. Honestly, people want everything to their own choice. If I have to select limitation on religious freedom with a pro-development government, I will choose it any day over a secular, socialist but lethargic and nepotist government.

More like neutral channel. 99% of Indian media is threatened or BRIBED into silence. RSS chelas like "chee" news is the best channel for swayamsevaks.

NDTV's viewership is dropping because of its known Anti Hindu stance
They tried to make amends by sacking Barkha but still they are the same

Once Republic TV starts ; NDTV will be Fu-cked up badly

You are partly right, US ,yes, but Japan, no, we don't really care about Japan, it's fast declining with less than half of China's economy now. poses no real threat in the long run.

I was thinking more on a per capita lines. It is not just the military threat.

You may ask @Horus or some admins to rename your username to Bhaktmayi Devi instead of Shajida Khan.

@The Eagle

Sorry for bothering you, but I think this runs a-foul of forum rules. Personal attacks and religious slurs are not allowed on this forum -- or so I have been told. You may want to edit this post and issue an appropriate warning to the member concerned or issue a ban if it meets your judgement!

Per capita wise Macau is the top 3 in the world, China is surely not afraid of Macau, right?
I dont think it is the question of Fear. HK is also among top per capita wise. It is more the question of proving your metal. I doubt you Chinese are motivated by 'Fear' here. It looks more like a quest to trump --no pun intended-- those who have historically thought of themselves being superior to China.

The question must be raised as to how India manages to maintain it's soft power while atrocities like this occur on a regular basis.

good question - the answer is, it is a question of scale and numbers. The number of such crimes are extremely low given the level of poverty, diversity and the total population. India's good things thus far far outweigh the bad things.
