Temple Fest Turns Violent in Madurai, Dalit Vehicles Burnt by Caste Hindus

[Gibbs]

You have a limited understanding of the Indian constitutional position. The PM has very little role to play unless any violence is so widespread as to cause a complete breakdown of law & order. He can of course, talk in general terms & criticise an attack (not the state government) but that will invariably lead to questions on why he is talking about one issue but not the other. It is not about offending coalition politics but respecting the constitutional position.

Well it's not like a case of calling in the national guard, Just a public statement on religious tolerance, national unity and end to discrimination would have major impact given his prominence, And in general condemning those that instigate the violence, Does'nt have to be state specific or party specific.. The stoic silence in this regard does not bode well.. I'm quite aware of federalist governance, If you have not noticed i'm fro Australia.. In this case it should not have anything to do with it, As the PM of India he can speak on behalf of every Indian

He has spoken out about these matters but he simply can't be expected to do it for every incident and certainly not immediately. Those statements are usually said as not being enough or being too late etc. Many ministers have spoken out against such violence but I think you overstate the effect such statements have.

Again, this is a caste issue in TN. Completely unconnected to Mr.Modi's rise.

Not been specific to this incident.. Any way my contention is as you rightly reiterated it's obvious that the far right have been emboldened with recent events and as far as i'm concerned this blanket blame on the media is just way of complicity by some that hold the same views as these fringe groups by , and by others just sticking the heads in the sand

I consider myself as a largely unbiased observer on such matters & I happen to think that media coverage is quite loony at times. I also agree with you that some of those who blame the media are arguing through the prisms of their own biases & a few may have their heads buried in the sand. However it is also true that anyone who doesn't see some of the blame game that is happening as opportunist & sometimes plain reckless & unfair are also looking at things through the prism of their own biases & a few there too have their heads stuck in the sand.

There is no one sided story here.

Well obviously you and fair number of others (though seem to be the minority these days) doesn't fit in to either of those groups..

Only on PDF which is overrun by mostly right wing Indians. In the real world, moderates are in majority and by some margin.

Isn't this the reality of India................why ignore this.........Instead say lets work together to get out of this evil................

Get real..., most of these things are not even related to caste, nobody gives a flying **** about caste these days, most of these incidents are usually personal revenge. but you had to be a moron and reply to a post which i specifically asked you to ignore...

You mean lets get out of Hinduism by becoming Christian or Islamic?

Why has this exploded now? Because the upper class Hindus are pissed off at the reservations in education, jobs, promotions and preferential treatment being given to the backward classes even when many of them are far richer than the upper class Hindus.

Mandal and our great netas have fuked up the country!

You don't decide what is fact and what is not. many of these incidents have nothing to do with caste. only an idiot would blindly believe any news especially from TOI or Indian express...
