"Those who call themselves Hindus only talk about violence, hatred, and untruth; you are not a Hindu at all": Rahul Gandhi

[FearlessRoar]

Rahul Gandhi's fiery attack in Lok Sabha: ‘Hinduism not about spreading hatred’​

The Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing critique of the Narendra Modi-led government over what he described as a decade-long systematic attack on the Constitution and the foundational idea of India by the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

"I am feeling good that BJP leaders are uttering the word 'Constitution' every 2-3 minutes," Gandhi noted, with a hint of irony. “For the last 10 years, there has been a systematic attack on the Constitution, on the idea of India, and on anybody who resisted the ideas being proposed by the BJP, who resisted the dilution of the Constitution.”

"Many of us were personally attacked. In fact, some of our leaders are still in jail. Not only the opposition, who resisted the idea of concentration of power, of concentration of wealth, of oppression of the poor, Dalits, minorities, and tribals were crushed. People were put in jail, people were threatened, and I myself was attacked by order of the Government of India, by order obviously of the Prime Minister of India," he added.

During his address, Gandhi displayed a poster of Lord Shiva, which prompted an immediate intervention from Speaker Om Birla.

"Rules don't allow the display of placards," Birla said, urging Gandhi to adhere to parliamentary protocols.

Gandhi continued,“Hinduism is not about spreading fear, hatred, and falsehoods.”

“All our great men have spoken about non-violence...But, those who call themselves Hindu only talk about violence, hatred, untruth…Aap Hindu ho hi nahi,” Gandhi added, pointing to the treasury benches.

Gandhi's remarks triggered a huge ruckus in the House, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi accusing the Congress leader of calling the entire Hindu community violent.

“Calling the entire Hindu community violent is a very serious issue,” Modi said.

Gandhi retorted, saying "the BJP and the RSS are not the entire Hindu society".

The Congress leader further stressed that all religions talk about courage, citing Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism to underline the importance of fearlessness.

Union home minister Amit Shah also intervened saying “The Leader of Opposition has categorically said that those who call themselves Hindu talk of violence and do violence.”

“He doesn’t know that crores of people proudly call themselves Hindu. Connecting violence with any religion is wrong. He should apologise,” Shah added.

Rahul Gandhi accused PM Modi of creating an environment of fear not only among citizens of the country but also within the BJP.

RaGa is right, BJP has totally altered the definition of a Hindu, a moderate guy would never be deemed as one unless he is violent enough now.

 

[pillionrider]

It's like watching a 1.5 hour long movie with memorable performances from the two leads Rahulg and Modiji. Breathtaking. Modi almost cried when he made his accusation. It was total defeat.

Can you define Hindu?

You have to know the definition of Hindu to even know if the definition is altered.

 

[Champ_Pal]

RaGa talking non sense as usual.

Hindu is not just sitting and watching everyone slap you around and you do nothing about it. If RaGa had read Bhagawad Geeta at least once he would know that it is the Dharma aka duty of every warrior to fight Adharma or untruth.

Perhaps RaGa learned his Hinduism from Nehra and Gandhi. They show the other cheek if the bad guy slaps you on one cheek.

What he and his family want Hindus to be is to be subservient and carry the burden of secularism quietly.

I think this "subservient" Hindu image is pain point for hindus who compare themselves unfavourably with Muslims. I have seen the same arguments raised by Christians who despaired at seeing their own saints and clergy mocked and ridiculed by the atheists, whereas the Muslims would defend the honour of their Prophet (SAW) with their lives.

But hinduism is it's own religion, it aims to be all inclusive and encompassing, so why try to mimic Islam? It would make more sense just to adopt Islam if it's teachings are more favourable to you.

This tolerant image of hinduism is because hindus turned their weakness into a virtue.

I tell hindus that get ride of this vegetarianism, learn to eat meat and also acquire the skill of beheading a goat and skinning it ( I have done the beheading but need to learn skinning).

All Polytheist religions are naturally inclusive. One more God to the Pantheon is not going to hurt their religion or beliefs.

This over tolerant image of Hinduism is due to Gandhi and Nehru philosophy. Right from our childhood, at schools and on TV, we are told that there are many ways to reach the Goal, all God(s) of various religions are same blah blah blah... But the reciprocity from others is never received. Islamic faith is total opposite to what Hindus are told and brainwashed since childhood.

While it is your choice to do animal sacrifice, I hate to see an animal beheaded and skinned like its life has no value. I am a bit of hypocrite in this as I do sometimes eat Chicken for health reasons. Red meat is off the table for me.

[Champ_Pal]

I don't know if they are bigoted, Christianity though it claims it is monotheistic, it still has holy trinity embedded in it. Their lord and savior Jesus also came down to earth as a mere human. Some similarities with Hinduism.

Islam on the other hand has no room for wiggle. It is monotheism on steroids. Entire South and South East Asian culture is Jahiliya and lunacy for them. They put all their eggs in one basket and they firmly believe it is the only one.

We also have to remember that Christianity has lost all its venom in the past 200 years. Science and progressive ideas have dented Church's power a lot in the West. They adopted Modernity. Islam on the other hand to me went backwards. Many Islamic countries have become more religious and want to follow Islam as much as they can. This means they are not going to tolerate Polytheism in their lands that easily. It is a threat to their faith.

The skill is not needed to become a butcher, but to get desensitised to an act which has been passed on by our ancestors till somewhere we decided that we can eat meat but cannot stand the sight of an animal being killed.

I meant this for people who already eat meat, not the ones who are vegetarians.

When I discussed about my wish to kill a goat because I wanted to experience what was a routine act of most humans down the ages, some people (who are meat eaters) said you are being a psycho.

If you don't eat meat, that is fine. But those who eat meat, should be able to kill an animal, or at the very least watch it being killed before eating it.

I agree on that, eventhough I’m vegetarian I do support hunting and eating as it teaches respect unlike factory farming.

I don't know whether Hinduism has gone more miltant or not,because the idea that West have about Hinduism is very modern, and Hinduism is not that much non- violent in it's pluarality, but if you mean Hinduism's journey to Hindutva, yes it's a social evolution. Now, coming back to my question, I think my interpretation is quiet natural, as reacting so strongly about the perceived mocking about your religious honoured ones that you are ready to die for them would be perceived as bigotry in most modern world views. So, again I repeat my question, Is Islam by its inherent properties more bigoted, or it's a result of socio-economic evolution? Perhaps a lingering for the glorious past in the face of the more bleak present for the followers of the religion may be ?

You are looking at Islam from an atheist's point of view. For the authentic Muslim glorious past or future is neither here nor there. The only goal is to worship Allah SWT and achieve success in the afterlife.

Islam, by its inherent properties, is the most self respecting and practical religion, which fiercely protects its values and its people.

In Surah An-Nisa, Quran says that whoever kills a believer intentionally, will go to Hell for eternity.

And Hinduism, says kill your own if they are on the path of adharma.

Both Hinduism and Buddhism promote detachment, as for them life is full of sorrow and world is an illusion.

But Islam says that God created this world so that you can enjoy it responsibly.

I can't say which religion is best for after life, but Islam is the best religion for the mortal world.

The proof of the pudding is in its eating. Since its inception Islam has growing the fastest. Even its competitors for the rule of the world, are its cousin abrahamic religions.

Your exciting and philosophical religions are losing their turf everyday. You have lost Bengal. Rabindra Sangeet could not prevent partition of Bengal. Rabindranath Thakur lost. Suhrawardy won.

If bengali hindus and bengali muslims could co exist, why was there a partition of bengal?

Atheism just means that you don't believe in God. It doesn't mean that you stop believing in your culture, the welfare of your people, your roots, your past and your community's future.

I find this disparaging view of Gandhi quite interesting. In Britain he was much admired and his non-violent protests were often lauded as the driving force behind India's independence. he brought down the British Raj if you believe media portrayals, and he is seen as a paragon of virtue.

But on the other hand, Brits themselves have always hero worshipped warrior PM's themselves, such as Winston Churchill who is seen as defeating Germany, and the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher who trounced Argentina over the Malvinas.

What does that tell you about their love for Mohatma Gandhi?

Any oppressive power will prefer a weakling like MK Gandhi over someone who fights back like Subhash Bose. Brits will not have to worry about losing their officers and army men when MKG is their opponent.

Morondas Ghandy did not bring down the British Raj. Many former colonies got independence without any MK Ghandy. And he was the last to raise demand for independence ( at the young age of 60). Till then he opposed any demand for independence. To put it in contex: Bhagat Singh was demanding independence 10 years ago. MKG was the last entrant to join the demand of independence.

The British loved him because he kept the masses under control. He stopped a non cooperation movement the moment a few policemen were killed ( all policemen were hindus and muslims who were happy to get a job from the British against their own countrymen). He was awarded by the British for his services. He campaigned across India asking indians to fight for the British in both world wars. He was the perfect British stooge. In his own letters he admits that he is a great admirer of the british and want to inculcate loyalty towards the British among every Indian.

I wish I was Godse. Would have slapped him till I was satisfied.

Well if Nehru was alive today, he would be the biggest opponent of Congress. Today's congress is advocating the same things Nehru opposed.

Any oppressive power will prefer a weakling like MK Gandhi over someone who fights back like Subhash Bose. Brits will not have to worry about losing their officers and army men when MKG is their opponent.

Gandhi took the credit for India's independence. Its the Congress narrative in India. Reality is, Brits were in position to rule over India after 2nd world war. The independence of India was bound to happen sooner or later.

Brits have always preferred Indians to Pakistanis, hence why they curse the Pakistanis with the well known abbreviation followed by the term for illegitemate children, and praise Indians for their willingness to integrate.

Because the Indian will do their dishes, take their dog for a walk and clean its poop.
The Pakistani will run away with the Britisher's wife.

I find this disparaging view of Gandhi quite interesting. In Britain he was much admired and his non-violent protests were often lauded as the driving force behind India's independence. he brought down the British Raj if you believe media portrayals, and he is seen as a paragon of virtue.

But on the other hand, Brits themselves have always hero worshipped warrior PM's themselves, such as Winston Churchill who is seen as defeating Germany, and the Iron Lady, Margaret Thatcher who trounced Argentina over the Malvinas.

What does that tell you about their love for Mohatma Gandhi?

It says what Indians have realised , he was a pawn to keep Indians meek.

West has most capable defence force and yet lectures on peace and promotes such idea.

Guardian talks about how BCCI is authoritarian but forgets the veto power England had forever.

West has shown where they stand when their interests are not met with Israel Palestine and Russia, no country should listen to them.

Having said that individual rights are unbeatable in the west if you are their citizen irrespective of color.

Well well it was only a matter of time.

The issue here isn't Hinduism itself (even though there are many inconsistencies), the issue is optics within India.

Normal Hindus are now being generalised under the banner of Saffron terror, intolerance, and violence - and this is a legitimate concern given Modi is a right-wing nationalist with blood on his hands in the name of Hinduism.

Right-wing nationalism is never peaceful, and India governed by RSS/BGP is no exception.

And that’s ok if they are.. no one cares about west thinks anymore after Israel Palestine hypocrisy.

So glad people didn’t give into Raga like they did for Rajiv Indira Nehru.

 

[Technics 1210]

I also want "normal hindus" to get generalized under the banner of "Saffron terror".

Only then they will understand.

The reality is a few bad apples do ruin it for the majority. That's just how the media works.

This is why I want Modi to be in power for as long as possible. The longer he is PM, the longer he exposes Hindutva for what it really is, and how detrimental it is for - secular and plural - India.

I want Sanghis like me to give such a bad name to the secular hindus, that they face troubles and get hatred from muslims who will mistake them as bad hindus. I support any muslim who insults secular hindu pajeets thinking they are sanghis.

But this is also indicative of the Indian willingness to accept that subservient role, even during my time on this website I saw many Indians mock Pakistanis for their lack of integration and bragging about how well Indians integrated in comparison. But for the British of course integration means you tacitly accept their superiority. Which to be fair, Indians have always done.

Brits themselves of course will never integrate anywhere. Why would they when they believe they are superior? If a Brit goes to India he will wear shorts and his wife will wear a dress, and they will sip martinis or a cold beer. By the time he has left, half of the Indian neighbourhood will be abandoning choori pajamas and saris for jeans and skirts and keeping small dogs as pets.

My point is promotion of pacifism and non violence.
Integration , assimilation are different but who knows you might be right there too.
