The bjp and modi have been in power for 8 years now, and for those 8 years India has been continuously accused of genocide and ethnic cleansing, and I'll admit i don't really like him or his party, but we are yet to actually see any ethnic cleansing or genocide. So how about criticizing him for things he's actually done wrong, rather than harping on about shit that hasn't actually happened?

I don’t know about ethnic cleansing and genocide, where I live, because I haven’t come across those claims. What I do know, is my Muslim friend from Mumbai said he generally felt safe but there would be no way in hell he goes near a crowd chanting jai sri ram. He said he would and has turned around and gone out of his way to avoid the problems that could arise as he walks by. He also said his reasoning is due to violence and injustice directed at Muslims from hindus in his city. Ultimately he left the country for the USA and now he feels like he can walk wherever he wants.

That sounds extremely oppressive to me, living in America.

1)Hostile Crowds chanting jai shri ram in Mumbai? I find that hard to believe for 2 reasons, first being that mumbai doesn't really have the issues with religion that many other parts of the country have, infact the city hasn't seen any major communal tensions in almost 3 decades, and second being that it's extremely unlikely that any one would be chanting jai shri ram because Ram isn't the most popular local deity, that would be Ganpati, and the annual Ganpati festival sees millions of participants including muslims who don't just participate in the festival but also are organizing members of some of the largest mandals the city.

  1. Aren't there cases of the proudboys, neonazis or maga republicans holding rallies in the US, where black, Jewish or people of other ethnicities wouldn't be welcome or get beaten up? Also wasn't there a case last year where a couple of men hunted down a black jogger in the middle of the street? Or how about people calling the cops on black people in their own yard? Does that mean the US has a ethnic cleansing or genocide problem? Or does that mean there are ethnic-religious tensions that simply needs more time to fade away?

Are Muslims being lynched and killed? No. I live in a locality which is Muslim majority in a state ruled by BJP. There is absolute peace and so it is in majority of places. You people don't know anything. You just read something from biased sources and tend to imagine that happening.

How is "ethnic cleansing" possible if the population of muslims keeps increasing every year? Muslims have the highest fertility rate in india and have 204 million population acc. to last census. What genocide are you talking about?

As long as America continues to have Biden and the Democrats in power, they deserve continuous criticism. Biden is a Christian supremacist globalist who has been at least partially responsible for ethnic cultural cleansing against people of all sorts in the World.

how is it "ethnic cleansing" if subcontinent Hindus and Muslims are the same genetically and ethnically, with many Muslims keeping their pre-conversion Hindu names to this day?
