is there an online Athiests authority we can lodge a complaint with for having an imposter athiest in our midst, spreading propaganda and hate speech against Muslims? I am sure he will be disavowed if he ever was a card carrying member of the atheist society. Shown the door as they say. I am sure they don't condone anybody behaving like a brat sullying their good name.

How sad. Maybe we should continue this line of discussion here then. You are free to open a separate thread about your hate of Islam and Muslims. At least have the cojones to be open about it and don't hide behind other discussions. I am sure we will be kind enough to allow you to at least take a few more feeble attempts at justifying your hateful views, before the mods can your thread with a warning.

@Stewie @HalBass9 guys see who is chickening out and truncating definitions to suit his agenda.O so you are finally ready for it.
Below is my definition of terrorist
>>>Terrorists are those who enforce their opinions on others, who kill people aimlessly just to further their powers and those who kick people out of their land for their colonization and just to get their dirty hands over their resources.<<<
And here is yours
>>>terrorist are those who target civilians with violence to further their political cause<<<
As I asked you before but you digressed then. This thread is about Modi. And according to your definition he is a terrorist because he assented to civilian killings in IOK and poor Muslim killings in Gujrat riots and following are the reputable sources to back this claim
====
India: New Reports of Extrajudicial Killings in Kashmir
The Indian authorities should immediately order an independent, impartial investigation into the killings by security forces of three people in July 2020 in Jammu and Kashmir, Human Rights Watch said today.www.hrw.org
These include a report stating that the violence in Gujarat showed "all the hallmarks of an ethnic cleansing".[2] The documents also cited police officers who stated that the police were prevented from aiding Muslim rape victims by pressure from the state government, and noted religious bias in how relief funds were distributed.[20] Jack Straw, at the time the UK Foreign Secretary, is depicted saying that there were "serious claims" that Modi was actively restricting the activities of the police, and also "tacitly encouraging the Hindu extremists

Your earlier definition of terrorist
>>>terrorist are those who target civilians with violence to further their political cause<<
And below one is your new one
Do you have any comprehension issues? Lol these two definitions are entirely different.
And on definition being invalid. It's just too farcical. Whenever you trim one statement it loses its context and meaning.
For instance Islam says that don't go near prayer when you are intoxicated . But if you say it like "Islam says don't go near prayer". It entirely loses its context and meaning

India antitrust body warns staff over unauthorised media contacts, memo shows
India's antitrust watchdog has warned staff in an internal memo not to share any information with the media when they are not authorized to do so, citing a 60-year-old rule that prohibits such interactions, a document shows.
It has been observed that of late certain information related to the cases (under review) are published/available in the media ... this has been viewed very seriously," the Competition Commission of India (CCI) said in an Aug. 20 memo to all staff, which was seen by Reuters.
CCI chairperson Ravneet Kaur did not respond to queries on the memo.
The CCI is investigating high-profile companies and reviewing deals involving Amazon, Walmart's Flipkart, Reliance, Walt Disney, and liquor maker Pernod Ricard.
On Tuesday, it was reported that the CCI had reached an initial assessment that the $8.5 billion Indian merger of Reliance and Disney media assets harms competition due to their power over cricket broadcast rights, and had been sent a warning notice.
Earlier this month, the CCI took an unusual step of recalling two reports that detailed alleged breaches of competition law by Apple.
The internal CCI staff memo also warned that disciplinary action can be taken for non-compliance with the rules, adding that they also apply to officers even after they leave the CCI.
The memo cited a 1964 government rule that states: "No government servant shall, except in accordance with general or special order, communicate, directly or indirectly, any official document or any part thereof or information.

Modi’s populism after election reversal puts public finances at risk
After reverses in the general election and facing possible losses in state polls this year, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s coalition has stepped up cash handouts, debt waivers and other freebies, although he has previously criticised the policy.
The handouts by state governments and promises by opposition parties trying to match the largesse threaten to upset the fiscal balance in the world’s most populous nation and disrupt spending on urban infrastructure and other development projects, analysts say.
Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) lost its parliamentary majority in the April-June national election and has stayed in power with the help of fickle allies.
Opinion polls predict it could lose provincial elections due in Maharashtra, Haryana, and occupied Jammu and Kashmir later this year, while winning in Jharkhand state, which could further dent Modi’s popularity.
India’s richest state and ruled by a BJP coalition, Maharashtra, has raised its fiscal deficit target to 2.6pc of state GDP for the current fiscal year from 2.3pc in an interim budget in February.
Water, gas dues
BJP-ruled Haryana has waived water dues for thousands of farmers, cut prices of cooking gas for millions of poor families and announced allowances for unemployed youth.
Inflation, unemployment and rural distress emerged as key issues in the general election and surveys show these remain uppermost ahead of the state elections.
“Although doles are not a new phenomenon, it is the prevalence of populist promises in this cycle across the political spectrum that is worrying,” said Madhavi Arora, an economist at Emkay.
“The recent wave of populist spending across poll-bound states could upset the fine fiscal balancing act that had been playing out so far.”
Opposition promises include free power to homes and monthly allowances to women.
Very dangerous for uplift
Modi in the past has decried the practice. “This culture of freebies is very dangerous for the development of the country,” he said in 2022.
“The people following this culture will never build new expressways, airports or defence corridors for you. They feel that they can buy the people by distributing freebies to them. Together we have to defeat this approach and remove the freebies culture from the politics of the country.”
Absence of emotive issues
Yashwant Deshmukh, founder of polling agency CVoter, said politicians would increasingly resort to freebies amid widening economic disparity, especially in the absence of emotive issues like tensions with India’s arch enemy Pakistan which helped the BJP in the 2019 national elections.
“The fiscal consequence of this culture is devastating, but there is a big yearning among the masses for such social welfarism,” he said.
‘Right amount of populism’
Other analysts have said BJP’s main plank of Hindu nationalism, aimed at the country’s majority, is not as effective as it has been in the past.

The latest budget has listed cash handouts for women and free electricity for some farmers that could cost it about Rs960bn ($11.45bn) in total this fiscal year, or 2.2pc of state GDP, according to research and investment firm Emkay Global.

‘Dedication For Maa Bharti Would Inspire Every Generation…’: PM Modi Greets RSS On Its Foundation Day
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is dedicated to serving the country as he greeted its volunteers on the historic milestone in the organisation’s continuous journey as it enters its hundredth year.
Lauding the outfit, PM Modi, a former RSS pracharak before he was drafted into the BJP, said the organisation’s resolve and dedication for Mother India would inspire the generations and would infuse new energy in realising a goal of a ‘developed India’.
“The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), dedicated to the service of the nation, is entering its 100th year today. My heartiest congratulations and best wishes to all the volunteers on this historic milestone of Aviral Yatra. This resolve and dedication for Maa Bharti is going to inspire every generation of the country as well as infuse new energy in realising a ‘developed India’,” PM Modi said in a post on X.
While sharing a link of RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat’s Vijayadashami address, the Prime Minister urged the citizens to listen to the former’s words. Every year on Dussehra, the RSS chief addresses Sangh volunteers during the event held at the Reshimbagh ground in Maharashtra’s Nagpur.

Government won't compromise on even an inch of India's borders: PM Modi
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday celebrated Diwali with Indian soldiers deployed at the India-Pakistan border in Gujarat's Kachchh and said that his government won't compromise on even an inch of India's borders.
"There is such a government in this country that cannot compromise with even an inch of the country's land," PM Modi said during his address to the soldiers.
"Keeping in mind the needs of the twenty-first century, today we are equipping our armies, our security forces, with modern resources. We are putting our Army in the league of the world's most modern military forces. The basis of these efforts of ours is self-reliance in the defence sector," he added.
Stressing on the need for an Integrated Theatre Command mechanism, PM Modi said that India is fast heading towards achieving this target.
Last month, the Indian military held its first Joint Commanders’ Conference, which saw the three services stress on the need for a unified vision to enhance military integration and synergy and a roadmap being set for the creation of Integrated Theatre Commands (ITCs).
The Defence Ministry is considering the establishment of a China-focused Northern Theatre Command in Lucknow, a Pakistan-centric Western Theatre Command in Jaipur and a Maritime Theatre Command in Thiruvananthapuram. If approved, this would mark the biggest military reform in India since independence, aligning with the ‘one border, one force’ concept.
"Today, India is manufacturing its own submarines. Our Tejas fighter plane forms the strength of the Air Force. Earlier, India was known as a country importing weapons. Today, India is exporting defence equipment to many countries of the world", Modi pointed out.
Earlier, PM Modi was seen offering sweets to Indian soldiers as he celebrated the festival of lights with jawans at Lucky Nala near Sir Creek.
Lucky Nala is a part of the creek channel of Sir Creek. It is the starting point of the creek border where there is a marshy area where carrying out patrolling operations is very challenging.
This area is under the surveillance of the Border Security Force (BSF). This is the area through which drug smugglers and terrorists from Pakistan often attempt to infiltrate into India.
However, the vigilant BSF has been able to foil their nefarious designs every single time.
PM Modi heaped praise on BSF soldiers for ensuring that India's border remains safe and secure despite difficulties, sources said.
The Prime Minister enquired the soldiers about the changes they have witnessed in their situation, tried to find out about the problems they were facing and also is any changes were required to be brought about to make their jobs easier, the sources added.
PM Modi also inspected the creek area from close quarters, stayed there for about an hour before leaving for Bhuj.
Sir Creek is the 96-kilometre-long border between India and Pakistan, over which a dispute has been going on for decades. The Crocodile Commandos of the BSF keep a strict vigil at the border to thwart external threats to India.
Prime Minister Modi celebrates Diwali every year with Indian soldiers deployed at various borders and posts. He has been following this practice ever since he assumed power in 2014.

Modi's BJP says US State Department targeting India
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has accused the State Department and "deep state" elements in the U.S. of trying to destabilise India in conjunction with a group of investigative journalists and opposition leader Rahul Gandhi.
The accusation comes as a surprise as New Delhi and Washington have forged a strong relationship in the last two decades and both have vowed to further strengthen ties despite some differences and irritants.
Gandhi's Congress party used the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP)'s articles that "singularly focused" on the Adani Group and its alleged closeness to the government to undermine Modi, the ruling party said on Thursday.
Group chair Gautam Adani and seven others were indicted last month in the U.S. for being part of a $265 billion scheme to bribe Indian officials - allegations the group has termed "baseless".
OCCRP's articles have also accused state-sponsored hackers in India of using Israeli-made Pegasus spyware to target government critics.
The government has previously denied both allegations.
The BJP has previously accused Gandhi, the OCCRP and 92-year-old billionaire financier-philanthropist George Soros of attacking Modi.
On Thursday, it cited a French media report that said that OCCRP was funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development and "other deep state figures" like Soros.
"The Deep State had a clear objective to destabilise India by targeting Prime Minister Modi," the BJP said in a series of messages on X.
"It has always been the U.S. State Department behind this agenda...OCCRP has served as a media tool for carrying out a deep state agenda," it said.
Sambit Patra, a BJP national spokesperson and lawmaker, repeated the accusations at an official media briefing by the party on Thursday.
"A French investigative media group...has revealed that... 50% of OCCRP's funding comes directly from the U.S. State Department," Patra said. "OCCRP has served as a media tool for carrying out a deep state agenda."
The State Department, US AID, Soros and the Congress party did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Indian foreign ministry also did not respond to a request for comment on the ruling party's accusation against the State Department.
OCCRP said in a statement it was an independent media outlet and not associated with any political party.
"The U.S. government, while providing some funding to OCCRP, has no say in our editorial processes and no control over our reporting," it said.
The government has lately been facing heat over the U.S. indictment of Gautam Adani, who opposition leaders say Modi has always protected, and the country's parliament was suspended multiple times last week as opposition lawmakers demanded a discussion on the issue.
Modi's BJP and Adani have denied the accusations.

"In just thirty seconds, I can transfer money into the accounts of 100 million farmers. I can do the same for cylinder subsidy for 13 crore people in 30 seconds...India has taught the world how to democratise technology. All you need is a mobile. This is a tech-driven century. We have made an innovation commission and innovation fund," PM Modi said.
Modi reflected on India's rising global stature. He recalled predicting a future where the world would queue for an Indian visa. Modi shared the anecdote of when he was Gujarat’s Chief Minister and was denied a US visa.
"As the head of the state, America had refused me a visa. I held a press conference that day where I had said, "One day the world would stand in line for an Indian visa". I gave this statement in 2005. Now, it is 2025. I can see that this is now is the time for India... I used to say publicly that you (NRIs) will regret if you don't come back to India, the world is changing," PM Modi said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared his experiences and views on India's future during a recent interaction. Recalling a visit to Kuwait, he spoke about an encounter with an Indian laborer who asked, "When will there be an international airport in my district?" Modi said such aspirations reflect the driving force that will shape a "Viksit Bharat" by 2047.
Addressing global conflicts, the Prime Minister emphasized that India's stance is not about neutrality but about promoting peace. "During the Ukraine crisis, we were not neutral. We are in favor of peace," he said, adding that this position has bolstered India's global credibility.

PM Modi Recalls 2005 US Visa Snub: `One Day World Would Queue For...
In his debut podcast appearance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi joined Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath for a conversation released on Friday. Discussing India's global technological prowess, PM Modi highlighted the country's success in democratizing technology, asserting that India has set an example for the world to follow."In just thirty seconds, I can transfer money into the accounts of 100 million farmers. I can do the same for cylinder subsidy for 13 crore people in 30 seconds...India has taught the world how to democratise technology. All you need is a mobile. This is a tech-driven century.

Have to state some facts here. No matter who is the PM and no matter how much Modi does for Ind, no developed countries will queue up for an Ind visa. Modi kept his options here. He said one day "world " would queue up, he didnt say which countries though ! And NRI's just means non Indians. He mentioned Kuwaiti laborer - so my interpretation would this is aimed at NRIs in the Middle east, Africa. And the queue would absolutely incl Bangladesh lol ! No NRI in the US, UK, Aus, EU or other developed country will want to go back to Ind. As a US citizen, cant even think of even contemplating it. USA is my country and am its citizen and all other nations are secondary from a residency stand point. 100% allegiance to US forever. And I find it very disgusting and shameful when desis wave flags of Ind / or their SC country instead of the US flag even though they are US citizens in a game between US vs a Ind/SC country.

More Indians losing hope of improved quality of life under Modi
More Indians are becoming less hopeful about their quality of life as stagnant wages and higher living costs cloud future prospects, a survey showed, in disappointing news for Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of this week’s annual budget.
More than 37% of respondents in a pre-budget survey said they expect the overall quality of life for ordinary people to deteriorate over the next year, the highest such percentage since 2013, findings released by polling agency C-Voter showed on Wednesday. Modi has been prime minister since 2014.
C-Voter said it polled 5,269 adults across Indian states for this survey.
Persistent eye-watering food inflation has squeezed Indian household budgets and crimped spending power, and the world’s fifth-largest economy is expected to post its slowest pace of growth in four years.
Nearly two thirds of survey respondents said inflation had remained unchecked and that prices had gone up since Modi became prime minister, while more than half said the rate of inflation had “adversely” affected their quality of life.
Modi, in the nation’s annual budget this week, is expected to announce measures to shore up faltering economic growth, lift disposable incomes and placate a stretched middle class.
Nearly half of respondents said their personal income had remained the same over the last year while expenses rose, while nearly two thirds said rising expenses had become difficult to manage, the survey showed.
Despite world-beating economic growth, India’s job market offers insufficient opportunities for its large youthful population to earn regular wages.
In the last budget, India earmarked nearly $24 billion to be spent over five years on various schemes to create jobs but those programmes have not yet been implemented as discussions on the details drag on.

Not surprised at all. It explains why so many Indians look to leave India (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/26/world/asia/india-illegal-immigration-trump.html).
Modi's only qualifications are making chai and promoting RSS agendas.
What does he know about running a country?
