Why do anti-Muslim trends from random places all over the world generate so much interest in India?

[Abdullah719]

It’s interesting that something that involves France and Muslims has garnered so much interest in India, that it’s been trending all day long on social media. Almost as much interest as IPL! Similar story with the Quran burning episode in Sweden a few weeks ago. Very interesting indeed.

Lol they dont even try to hide their hate So obvious its embarassing

So called peace loving people

 

[Zaz]

Its very obvious the society is anti muslims and hate filled

Why do they even try to deny the obvious?

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

I feel it is a combination of fear and respect. That seems to be the most likely answer as their hindu religion fundos seem to resemble many of the same traits as Muslim fundamentalists.

Why is everything involving India garnering so much interest in Pakistan, so much so that even twitter trends make news.

 

[Madplayer]

Indians form the biggest organised and unorganised groups of Islamphobes in the world. Remember this statement of mine always. Nowhere in the world will you see people coming together on such a scale and put in concerted efforts against muslims, at least in the virtual space. This needs to be highlighted at all forums.

This aspect is not really garnering interest in Pakistan as such. However, after seeing the concern from Indian posters in all threads related to Macron and France to the point where Indians are posting more than non-Indians combined (on a topic that doesn’t involve India in any way whatsoever), I decided to do a quick check and see what the situation is like on social media. I thought that a thread on it should make for an interesting discussion…



I remember the same thing happened with the Sweden riots. It was the top trend on social media in India for a whole day, with many tweets going viral with fake and doctored images.

It’s an interesting pattern, don’t you think? I wonder what causes it.

Macron and France is global news. He is one of the few leaders who has openly called out extremism thats spreading in the muslim society. Since Indians are the biggest non muslim contingent on pp they mirror the views.

Read when the Sweden riots and when the Bangalore riots happened and what was the reason.

 

[El Generico]

Funny how Indians that support a far right Hindu government are so actively defending secularism and Macron lol. Why use secularism to mask your hate for Islam?

 

[BreadPakoda]

Totally a guess but this could be due to the strong IT cells operated by you know who. There are all over India. Not only anti-Muslim, it could be anti-Bollywood, anti-China, anti-whatever and they can get it trending in a few hours.

 

[CricketCartoons]

The peace loving nature of hindus is over rated. There is a famous hindi poem, which translates to:

The peace shown by a poisonous serpent has grace and magnanimity, but the peace shown by a poisonless and toothless serpent has no greatness, and is just a cover to hide its weakness.

Many of them hate muslims and Islam. But let them enjoy it

 

[Abdullah719]

Let me correct it for you.

Macron is just another leader pandering to the far-right vote bank of his country by attacking a boogeyman.

Classic tactic for a leader under pressure, especially when the COVID graph in his country looks like this:

Perhaps this tactic is popular in India because we witnessed something similar happen there. That is, when COVID initially spread in India, Muslims were blamed for it en masse. Add it with the general dislike of Muslims among many on the far right and it adds up.

In case of India, Google trend gives a more accurate result than twitter. Twitter isn't even popular in india and hence due to small sample size, results will be skewed.

check google trend and it is no where to be seen.

[rhony]

I'd say there are multiple reasons. The most important is Rafael jets and how France has been supporting India openly on UN forums. Second, Indians sympathize with every country that's a victim of terrorism as they identify with them. The sympathies are not just from the right wing that hates muslims but from liberal left which loves western democracies. And finally people typically consider muslims of all nationalities as one (ummah) and speaking against an atrocity is akin to speaking against Pakistan. That's weird logic but that's how it works.

People should be less harsh, not every land/people have a history of being conquered for such a long time. Then the Brits came along, sucked it dry, turned it into a 3rd world nation. Now they hate Pakistan, so Muslims too but cant do anything about the past or the present so hang off the back of other nations.

Now in the age of technology and social media, many Indians are taking up arms with the latest keyboards any defence force for has to offer.

Because they hate Muslims. The only country in the whole world where Islamophobia is greater than Israel. They absolutely despise Muslims and everything to do with Islam.

Muslim conquerors looted and plundered their lands several times. Then broke it in 47. So there is a very deep seated historical background to it all...

You may find it surprising but I think it’s quite organic. If the British hadn’t left them alone, they would feel the same way about them as well. But a bit of slave mentality and the fact they are left to their own devices, means they can focus it all on Muslims now...

 

[MenInG]

As Muslims across the world protest and broaden their calls for a boycott of French products over comments by President Emmanual Macron about Islam and depictions of the Prophet Muhammad, hashtags with a different message are trending in Hindu-majority India.

#IStandWithFrance and #WeStandWithFrance were among the top trends on Indian Twitter on Monday and Tuesday, with thousands of Indian users expressing their solidarity with France.

Macron has sparked outrage across the Muslim world by accusing French Muslims of “separatism” and describing Islam as “a religion in crisis all over the world”.

The matter escalated after Macron said his country would not “renounce the caricatures” of Prophet Muhammad in the wake of the killing of a French teacher who showed them to his class.

That led to outrage in the Muslim world, with protesters in several Muslim-majority nations, including Turkey, Pakistan and Bangladesh, calling for a boycott of French goods and demanding the expulsion of the French ambassadors to their capitals.

However, in India, where critics say anti-Muslim sentiments have intensified since the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power in 2014, many rallied behind the French leader.

“Tolerance should be secular too. #IStandWithFrance. Well done French President,” tweeted Parvesh Sahib Singh, a BJP member of parliament.

Earlier this year, India received five French-made Rafale fighter jets, the first batch of a controversial $9.4bn deal with France signed in 2016.

Other hashtags related to Macron’s remarks that trended on Indian Twitter on Tuesday included #WellDoneMacron and #MacronTHEHERO.

Anti-Muslim sentiments in India

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government has been accused of pursuing anti-Muslim policies, with a controversial citizenship law that excludes the community being the most recent.

The Indian government defends the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), saying it aims to protect persecuted minorities in neighbouring Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.

Protests over the law earlier this year led to the worst religious violence in New Delhi in decades, killing dozens of people, most of them Muslims, and displacing thousands.

Many Muslims have been charged under a stringent anti-terror law following the Delhi violence, jailed and denied bail.

Last week, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet’s office pointed to three “problematic” Indian laws – including the CAA – that have led to the arrest of activists.

Since 2014, dozens of Muslims have also been lynched by Hindu mobs over suspicions of slaughtering cows, considered sacred by many Hindus.

Rights groups have criticised India for a slow rate of conviction in cases of hate crimes against Muslims.

It's quite amazing really.

Most Pakistanis (esp Punjabis and Mirpuris etc) are more closer to a sikh Ranjith Singh or a Rajput like Maha Rana Pratap but still they'll claim to have come from Arabia and Central Asia.

23andMe has a lot of unpleasant surprises for our padosis.

Again, this is your fantasy, not reality. We know fine well we have Pakistani ancestry, and also that those same ancestors might have been hindus at one time. Brits also know that they were once pagans before adopting Christianity. I really don't know why you guys need to tell yourselves these stories, but if it helps....

What makes you think Pakistanis do this? I think this is just a narrative which runs through some hardcore hindutva mindsets. Indian subcontinent was ruled for 1000 years by outsiders, that's just a fact, we can't wish it away. Why is it such a big deal?

You feel that Pakistanis feel a 'false sense of superiority' fine, that's your opinion. Obviously Pakistanis feel Islam is superior, otherwise they would give it up for something better.

People are bound to others based on shared beliefs.

For instance, North and South Indians have very little in common apart from an arbitrary notion of Indianism or perhaps Hindusim. Yet they are united in their Hinduness and people accept it.

If nations were solely based on 23andme tests India would be split into 100 distinct nations.

I don’t know what Pakistanis who have spoken to but most know that they likely have Indian ancestry and their ancestors may have been Hindus. What difference does that make though?

I know in some religion, cast and ancestry makes a difference but that really isn’t an issue in Islam. A person who converted to Islam a second ago is as Muslim as someone who has been Muslims for generations. So what relevance does it have to a Muslim if their ancestor were Sikh or Hindi centuries ago?

Now why would you and I care about something that happened in France? Why don't we care about what happens in our countries? Well..we do care about what happens everywhere. When there is a disturbing trend, the intention is to quash it and destroy it. It is time to end the jihadis for good. Find every terrorist and just end them one by one. Our societies should be able to disagree and agree as adults. I always said I'm against publishing cartoons that hurt religious sentiments. It's hate speech. One look at social media will tell you that people take advantage of their free speech priveleges now more than ever. So there needs to be a matured attitude to deal with things you don't like. File a lawsuit and if you fail, live somewhere else where the laws are in tune with your expectations.

Another (closet) sanghi trying to be an intellectual while downplaying the hindutva terror as a one off case while talking about "finding and killing all terrorists one by one" who obviously in his mind are only muslims. In India the hindutva terrorists terrorizing minorities dont need sleeper cells. They are in the government and run the country. Buzz off with this lame attempt at justifying Islamophobia and ridicule of the Islamic faith which actually puts muslim lives in danger, while at the same time trying to balance it by saying "oh i dont personally support it". Lots of mental gymnastics and beating around the bush to convey that Islamic faith should indeed be mocked.

 

[Sirris]

Certain Hindu fanatics on social media do indulge in a lot of shaming tactics towards Pakistani/Muslims.

I am a Pakistani ex-Muslim.

No amount of shaming tactic by Hindu fanatics can make me feel ashamed of my Muslims ancestors who might have converted from Hinduism to Islam. At the same time, I don't care about shaming Hindus(/Indians) for being Hindus/(having Hindu ancestors).

Those who whole-heardetly want to see peace and harmony among different group of humans to prevail are best advice to ignore such childish behavior(regardless of their faith/nationality) and use their brain to think critically and work towards a better understanding of the problems and solutions humans are faced with.

This article is a few years old so who knows what the stats are now. You know we all have access to the Internet right? No is going to believe that this case was a one-off, brutality against Dalits seem to be a trend in India. A simple google search can prove that, I can post multiple recent cases if you want but it would be easier if you just google it for yourself.

The Murder happened in September 25 but the motive was recently revealed, why else would the article be written a week ago?

Knowing that the guy was killed for an offensive Facebook should have created havoc among the freedom of speech loving Indians. I mean if you guys care about freedom of speech in France so much, I am sure that concern doubles when it comes to your own country.

So how many twitter trends and streets marches after the motive of this murder was revealed or even when the murder happened?

Please show me where many dalit lawyers were killed by brahmin goons for posting on Facebook. U can't. That's why I called it a one off. I will show you many cases where people were murdered by terrorists because of the cartoons. That's why it's not one off.

India is a cesspool or castes and nobody denies that. Matter of fact is the same in every country where you have discrimination against a certain sect like Dalits in India, ahmadis in Pak, blacks in US etc

In halloween, I’ve seen people dress up as hindu deities all the time and make those deities a figure of fun and mockery. Privately I’ve been told hindus do not feel thrilled about it. I remember Heidi Klum dressing up as some goddess. Now that the world is becoming politically correct that’s not as prevalent but I’ve seen it. Remember for comparison this is like someone dressing up and calling themselves Allah or the Proper PBUH (God forbid) so it is a very serious matter. And we all know if someone did there would be easy to find some loonies who would take an extreme step in reaction to that.

Again I would like to preface by saying that within India especially in the last decade such loonies are springing up but it’s not at same scale and definitely outside India it is not present at all as of now. And would also add that their support right now for this isn’t for some notion of freedom of expression but islamophobia.
