I shall try making some sense with one last time.

'Ghar Wapsi' is a Sangh dream and a complete farce nor does is it have any support outside of the RSS.

You are asking if Hafiz Saeed has ever called for the rape or slaughter of hindu's and sikhs in Pak. But conveniently leave the point of kidnapping of hindu/sikh girls and forcefully marrying them.

Regarding india tolerating christians and muslims for money do you know when christianity started in India? It started in kerala immediately after christ's crucification when one of his disciples landed in India and the king gave him land to build a church 2000 years ago. Today kerala have 20% christian population. So how much money did the king get to build teh first church in India. Parsis who were following the native religion of Iran came to India as refugees and have lived here for centuries? What did India gain then by giving them refuge.

India has 1.4 billion population. Pakistan with 225 million has fights between Sunnis and Shias. 1000s of hazaras have been killed. With over a billion population and that too a bloody partition behind them there are bound to be riots. In Kashmir muslims are a majority and there hindus too faced the brunt. India has its own set of problems in every region. But every Indian irrespective of their religion has the same rights irrespective of religion. I studied in a 140 year old school built by the british where I had classmates who were muslim, christian and sikh. In colleges and at workplace too people of all faiths were there. No muslim has been stopped from doing their muharrum processions or eid celebrations. If that was the case most of the Indian asylum seekers that you claim to have met would have been Indian muslims.

In fact Haj subsidies are provided to muslims. No such thing for hindus or christians. Theer are reservations in colleges for all SCs, STs, BCs and muslims as well. If Indian muslims were persecuted so much 1000s would ahve left to join ISIS but it was just a handful. We have muslims like Abdul Kalam who headed ISRO and went on to become the President. We have Nikhat Zareen who won gold in boxing. They ahve equal opportunity in every field.

Since you claim to ahve met many Indians i guess you would have met atleast a handful of muslims. Ask them if given a chance would they migrate to Pakistan and you will have your answer.

Just like you are a self proclaimed defender of Islam I am a self proclaimed athiest. I ahve no sympathies whatsoever regrading RSS and other Sangh elements. But my friend, you seem to have a wrong notion about India. Being a country of billion popluation consisting of various religions, languages and cultures Indian society is too complex to simplify it as hindus vs non-hindus. You can only understand it if you visit India and see it yourself and not believe hearsay and inbuilt hate.

Anyways I am done. You are free to do whatever you want.

Does not matter who is supporting "ghar wapsi" when it is happening just like India's other obsession "love jihad". When Hindu men marry Muslim ladies that is not "vedic jihad" but when a few incidents of Hindu ladies being forced to convert to Islam occurs it is "love jihad" even if the lady converts by choice.

Hafiz is not the reason Hindu or Sikh gals in Pak are forcefully converted to Islam. That was the point I was making that even a man you call a "terrorist" doesn't do that. Your Adityanath calls for the murder of Muslim's yet your media always remains silent. What say thee!!?

Your view of when Christianity started in India has no historical backing to start off with. The real reason Christianity is allowed to flourish is to please the west moreover Christians run many institutions in India. Getting rid of the Christians will turn India on it's head yet that is not to say that there is no discrimination against them. If so let me insist that the same s the case with minorities in Pak where a few sporadic incidents do not paint an overall picture at all.

No 1000's of Hazara's have not been killed at all. Many who have lost their lives is not for religious reasons rather other disputes of territory also play a part. It is the Indian media painting every killing as a religious dispute that has brainwashed people like you. Similarly the situation in Baluchistan is about rights not religion yet even that is not as extreme as you believe. So Indian Muslim's being treated like filth is Pak's fault now?? So in Pak schools there are people from all faiths studying together too, that is how it is supposed to be. Difference is we don't burn down temples instead were the ones who opened up Kartarpur Saheb for the Sikh's showing India what tolerance means.

I did not ask about the faith of Indian asylum seekers because they had names I could not relate too. Ya know how North Indian's have different sounding names to their Southern counterparts and appear different too. Enough was it to know that they were Indian's escaping persecution. In a country with over 200 billion Muslims does not suggest they are all happy. It is natural for your government to allow pilgrimage for the sake of having a good image in the west. Yeah no Muslim has been raped or abused in India, right?? All these independent human rights organisations are only right when they bad mouth Pakistan. The Gujarat riots and demolition of Babri was Pak's fault too!

You have Shahrukh and others too as well as Nikhat moreover let me insist that I do not care about Indian Muslim's. I do not love them even an iota but only mention them to expose India's human rights record. I love Pak Hindu's and Pak Christians not Indian Muslim's so do what you want with them. Is there any equivalent to the Hajj for the Christians or Hindu's where they would financial backing to travel abroad?? No there is not so your point here is invalid.

Ya see I do not need Indian Muslim's to vindicate Pak's creation then why ask them such a question? It is like asking me if I would like to immigrate to Mecca because it is the birth city of Islam!. I don't give a damn what Indian Muslim's think of Pak at all when even if some loved Pak we will not take them in. Be what you want....believe in what you want ....my beef is with India over it's human rights record where is looks upon itself as some sort of champ!. That you elected a madman as PM says it all however he dare try anything with Pak then wait an earth shattering reply.
 
Scheduled Caste Students Made To Clean Toilet In Tamil Nadu School, Case Filed

Chennai: Tamil Nadu police are on the lookout for the headmistress of a government school in Tamil Nadu's Erode district for allegedly forcing six children from scheduled castes to clean a school toilet.

According to a complaint filed by Jayanthi, the mother of a class five student, the "HM Ms Geetha Rani singled out only SC children to clean the toilet".

The violation, the mother says, came to light after her son had contracted dengue and was hospitalised recently. "When I asked him how he got dengue, my son said he was bitten by mosquitos when he handled bleaching powder and cleaned the toilet daily", she said.

"Last week, a parent saw them coming out of the toilet with sticks and mugs. When asked, they said they cleaned the toilet, and that the headmistress asked them to do it. 40 children study in that class, and most of them are our scheduled castes children. She has asked only our children to do this," she added.

Police have registered a case under the Juvenile Justice Act, besides invoking the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.

A police officer told NDTV, "The head mistress of the panchayat union school at Palakarai is absconding. We have formed special teams to arrest her. Investigation is on". The headmistress could not be reached for her response.

A video, that NDTV can't independently verify, shows at least three boys claiming to be from the same school alleging they were asked by the headmistress to clean the toilet.

In Lok Sabha, Chirag Paswan Claims Crimes Against Dalits On Rise In Bihar

Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan on Friday raised in Lok Sabha the issue of alleged rise in crimes, especially against Dalits, in Bihar and said Parliament can't be mum when the state government is maintaining "silence".

The Jamui MP noted that a woman and her five-year-old daughter were burnt alive in Arwal after their house was set ablaze by people accused by the mother of trying to sexually assault her.

Raising the issue during the Zero Hour, Paswan said the culprits were angry with her, a member of the Paswan community, for complaining to police and alleged that the local administration was hand in glove with them. He said a Paswan woman was gang-raped and killed in Begusarai as he hit out at the state government for its "silence".

While acknowledging that law and order is a state subject, he said the Centre should act on its own and order a CBI probe as the people of Bihar are angry at the JD(U)-RJD-Congress government's alleged lack of action.

The Lok Sabha member has long been a trenchant critic of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led government.
