Indian Muslims are happiest in the world, claims RSS chief

[MenInG]

In a claim that has sparked outrage on social media, the chief of the extremist Hindu group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh on Saturday said that the happiest Muslims in the world were found in India.

According to a report in Indian daily The Hindu, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat made the claim while addressing a group of supporters in Bhubaneswar city of the Indian state of Odisha.

India is facing severe international pressure after revoking the constitutional autonomy of occupied Kashmir on August 5 and putting millions of people under a military curfew in the occupied valley.

Prime Minister Imran Khan has expressed fear of an impending genocide in the area, and warned that unless Indian PM Modi, who is an RSS member, lifts the curfew, Kashmir would remain a nuclear flash point.

Thousands have been arbitrarily detained in occupied Kashmir since August 5, and there are widespread allegations of torture and abuse against these detainees by Indian security forces.

However, Indian politicians and RSS members have avoided talking about Kashmir in political rallies, and even remained quiet as violent attacks on Muslims across India increase dramatically.

On Saturday, Bhagwat followed a similar pattern. Talking about the roots of the word Hindu, Bhagwat said that Hindu was not a religion or a language, but a culture that lived in India and accepted all other cultures.

"When any nation has deviated from the right path, it has come to us in search of truth," he said, adding that when Jews were wandering, India was the only nation where they got shelter.

"The Parsis practise their religion freely only in India. The happiest Muslims are found in India. Why is it so? Because we are Hindus,” he said, noting that many in India were ashamed of proclaiming Hindu identity.

I'd not say the happiest in the world but they are happier than most.

How come they are happy to accept Hindu/Sikh refugees and not Muslim ones then?

Riiight

...and hell has frozen over as well.

Because, Muslims opted for a different country and got their share of land. They can't just come back again. It's against the sovereignty of the Indian dominion.

Right. So he's telling lies that all cultures are accepted in India, that might have been the case in the past, but clearly they are now seen as unwelcome following partition. Which also happened because this speaker's self same organisation was threatening Muslims in India would become second class citizens.

 

[szrana007]

Yeah, that is why India ranks 140 on world happiness index. Even indian hindus aren't happy, let alone muslims.

Any proof of this?

You don't need proof to say that Muslims in India are more secure and happier than those in the war torn middle East under dictatorships and those who are living as refugees elsewhere.

 

[troodon]

Compared to war torn countries in middle east and perhaps minority Shia and Ahmedi Muslims in Pakistan.

Anything that comes out of RSS is a joke. These guys are big time idiots and thugs.

You are making baseless assumptions. What you should go off is individual happiness as opposed to collective happiness. Not everyone is the same.

What does that even mean? It is like saying Hindus are happier in middle east gulf countries than in poverty stricken states in India.

If you think about it, some Hindus living in dirt poor conditions and starving would do anything to work in 100 degrees heat in Arabia and eat 3 times a day.

Life > Death

 

[kk1992]

It is like listening to a 3rd world brutal dictator, who would repeat over and over while forcing them to be subservient or else.

I wonder if Kashmiri Muslims are the happiest but again Kashmir isn't part of India, it is an occupied territory.

 

[Mesozoic]

What baseless assumptions ? Isn't it true that Indian Muslims are in a much better environment than their middle eastern counterparts ? Or do you really believe that people in Yemen, Palestine , Iraq, Syria etc are more safe and sound than Indian Muslims ?

Indian Muslims have more freedom and enjoy more liberties than the ones in the Sharia imposed countries.

Muslim women in India can live their lives as they wish to and wear whatever they like.

Muslims in India also enjoy special benefits like govt subsidies and minority reservations in almost every sector.

And the most important thing, Indian Muslims will not be victims of sectarian violence which is killing thousands in the gulf.

lol. Those nations are in a state of war. Is India in a state of war? Why not compare them with Muslims in Turkey, Malaysia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar etc?

Indian Mulsims dont have more freedom than those in Sharia law nations such as UAE? What are you smoking?

Muslims in India dont need secterian issues to be danger when Hindus are attacking them. Please think before you post.

Ignore him. Until he provides poll data of Muslims across countries and their happiness levels, I’m not going to believe a word he says. His assumptions are not evidence.

I just checked world happiness ranking. UAE seems to be doing well. They are #20 worldwide and #1 among all Muslim states.

Here is the ranking: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Happiness_Report#International_rankings.

India is 133, below Iraq, Egypt and Palestinian Territories. Lol

Forget Indian Muslims, India as a whole isn’t happy.

So Palestinians who have been occupied for decades, living in poor conditions are happier than Indians? Why are Indians so unhappy? I thought they are living within a modern shupparameshpowar? There has to be logical explanation, perhaps Bollywood isn't producing enough comedy movies?

 

[sweep_shot]

Pakistan is #75 and India is #133. Damn!

I am surprised to see India being outside of top 100.

It's not surprising at all. India's economic growth has largely benefit the top 1% and the ultra rich. The top 1% own 73% of the wealth in that country. Think of how staggering that is. Being a developing country to begin with, and then have that much wealth hoarded by 1%. Top that off with highest unemployment in 4-5 decades, and you see the glitz and the glamour that some (but not all) Indians like to show off about their country come off very quickly.

 

[PakLFC]

RSS also claim the khana-e-kaaba and the Taj Mahal as belonging to them Indian Muslims have to be happy when the RSS gun is placed on their head.

Happiness polls lol.

Just read the criticism section on that wiki page , you'll get an idea how reflective that polls are to real life.

This is similar to Hitler claiming during World War II that Jews were the happiest in nazi Germany

True. Can't believe people are oblivious to the rise in concentration camps in India. Body parts being sold. Or was it somewhere else?

The source is from the world happiness report. Now there are issues with poll data and you can never get a true reflection of happiness across countries, but do you have a better methodology or are you just going to make useless claims based on your biased opinions.

Happiness is not some body weight or blood measure that you can measure. It differs from one individual to the other.

The best metric is to see the socio-economic state of the people. And I'm pretty sure, India are not 133rd on that list.

Sorry but whose changed their constitution and locked down 8m people using over 500k of their troops?
Which party has the ideology of Nazism?

Why doesn’t India speak out for the Chinese muslims? Why is this left to Pakistan to discuss?
Kashmir/Kashmiri people have a history with Pakistan.

The happiest Muslims are Arab Sheikhs living in Arabia. Filthy rich, own everything you can think of, get the most beautiful women in this entire world and never have to actually work.

You are a sad person if you think money is the source of happiness. Everyone has problems and rich people have the biggest problems, one of which is to horde on to their wealth and increase it. Humans are never satisfied with what they have, they always want more. It’s human nature.

Tell this to Muslims living in squalid conditions in Asia. Tell them how happy they are living in dirt poor conditions. I guess they will hate to trade their places with a sad Arab Sheikh.

You are using an extreme example to explain your illogical view. My point was that money is not the source of happiness. I didn’t say being dirt poor is a good thing. There are plenty of people who live comfortably and are more happy than rich oil barons in the gulf. There are factors other than money that lead to happiness. Money is only a single factor. Stop thinking one dimensionally.
