A foreigner has to tell us the reality.Shame on me and all the Indian s who let the discourse be polluted by leftists

[@AnimeshDas108]

That's because of fake liberals, they will speak about Mob Lynching but they remain silent on 1984 riots

My editor in chief only interested in India where something negative happens. This is true with Indian media too. They never highlighted the success of the BJP government.

[@AnimeshDas108]

so true...

[@krishnanb.s.5581]

This Democratic Bullshit which these media houses keep harping is a one sided concept which seems to be meant only for the Majority. All the temples are being controlled by the govt not the Mosques and churches , Synagogues. All the rules seem to be for the majority Community to follow. Then there is the secularism debate. It's unbelievable that the pilgrims of Amarnath are being guarded by the security forces to protect against Islam terrorists. It can never happen in any country.

[@Blackfire970]

Indophobic western media and only negative showing Indian media are culprit here.

[@sandhyahgaushal4402]

Correct analysis of some of the Indian media and media from abroad. Here,only one agenda works ,if a party with Hindu ideology comes to power,people and parties just oppose them and defame them.if you curse a Hindu,it means a secularism to many.

[@sdfi1961]

@@sandhyahgaushal4402 . To be true we only opose RSS BJP. because of the gujrat riots, continuous mob lynching which takes place in this country, thir internal motives in CAA bill. Their agenda have been exposed by thir own people. Can you justify the Delhi riots which took place recently which took place infront of the police. What happened to the judge muralidar who questioned the Delhi police. Can you justify this. Waiting for your reply.

[@ElephantKenya]

India MUST declare Vedantic Hinduism/Hinduism as state's official religion. Of course other religions will continue to co-exist. This will be similar approach as Denmark. Denmark's official religion is Lutheran Christianity, and other religions coexist in the country. That means, if some rogue attacks Lutheran Christianity in Denmark, State has the official power to take action against the rogue. Also, India must make it mandatory to declare one's religion in passport/aadhaar; and give its citizens the option to declare themselves as belonging to no religion. So the persecuted among any faith can break themselves free from shackles of being born into a faith that they have little inclination towards following.

[@vaibhavvats3597]

I guess we indians have got a great leader (modi) who is always ready to stand and support Hinduism, we were oppressed for a thousand year but still we have maintained a bit of our culture a bit more effort can revive this great culture . As for people with anti Hinduism thoughts let's leave them to their negativity and focus on ourselves we never forced any other religion to stay here neither to leave this place they are free if they can't swallow the rise of Hinduism, they are free to go 😇

[@arjunsinhdarbar9804]

Correct sir. (Thanks Sir) India is a Diverse country accepting All Religious practices & Respect other's Belief, but Still Other Religion blames on Hindus for Intolerance. Why they forgot that, There were Muslims in Shivaji's & Maharana's Army. They (Every one) Needs to Study about our History with Ideal state of Mind.

[@ashwinikulkarni5381]

Pardon Mr. Francois the last Hindu empire was not the Vijayanagar Kingdom it was the Maratha Empire laid by the great Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Had not been Shivaji Maharaj the entire Middle and South India would have been Islamic states.

What about the caste system, the intolerance of Untouchability practised in Hinduism. I am not arguing just asking for an explanation.

[@anandg519]

@The third eye Ask the British about caste system they are the one who introduced "caste".There is nothing called caste in Hinduism.Yes there is Varna which is not based on the birth.It is based on profession If you are a teacher/priest you are BRAHMIN.If you are a King/Warrior you are KSHATRIYA. If you are a Business man/Trader you are VAISHYA If you are a Employee you are a SHUDRA(even CEO of Google is a SHUDRA) so clearly no discrimination based on birth is prohibited in Hinduism and it is clearly stated in Bhagavath Gita by Krishna. Untouchability is practiced in our society only after Islamic invasion and it increased during British colonisation.Untouchability is much reduced now and it will be completely wiped out from the society once people get educated and improve economically.

[@sagarmoyjana6837]

Stupid. Intolerance is not a myth. One should do proper research. I am a hindu and I believe that Hindus are the most tolerant people. But some political parties and some religious organisations like Karni Sena, Bajrang Dal, RSS etc are spewing the hatred and introducing the grim intolerant mindset among Indians. Educated urbanized Hindus are also getting carried away with the intolerance thoughts and forgetting age old Harmony, but the most brutal affects can be seen in less educated people who have power and money but no institutional education. I believe, soon we Hindus will be able to establish Peace with the help of Sanatana Dharma not just in India but around the world.
