What is the concept of minority in India isnt india a secular state and not a religious one(like pakistan) for e.g. Here in germany there are no minorities every german citizen is same religion is personal and should not be part of any gov document.
What is point if religious minority in a secular state ??
The state which we were in during the partition, is it a surprise that there were laws made protecting minorities, particularly Muslims? There was a lot of anti-Muslim sentiments around that time
You think if Indians actually followed their constitution properly we would be in a mess right now?
The word 'securalism' has been so badly abused in our country, just to justify anything done for minorities in the name of secularism.
People are so fed up of the word that they call secularists as 'sickularists'
This is nothing new. White in US and Europe cry about discrimination against Whites. Same goes for other majorities. No one wants to let go of their privileges even one bit. Easiest thing in the world to blame laws and discrimination than taking charge of their own lives. Politicians of course build that mis-trust. The truth is, Hindus are the most thriving people in India. And being in the majority helps. Muslims are no where close. Yet people make it seem Muslims get all the privileges. Majority in any country can take care of themselves because they are the majority. They will always find help. The minorities do need special laws
African Americans suffered slavery and racial discrimination for over a 100 years. Muslims in the subcontinent did not. That was a stupid comparison.
Since independence there has been a lot of anti-Muslim sentiment in India. Things are changing now, but were much worse once
Secularism in India is unlike what is present in France and Germany. You will find a lot of Hindus complain about "Muslim appeasement" because we don't have a uniform civil code, muslims get subsidies from the government to perform hajj, reservations in educational institutes etc.
Well, in those countries, they might not complain about religion, but they do complain about minorities getting extra privileges. White moan about white discrimination. But they are wrong, just like the Hindus here
What's wrong in making india a Hindu nation most of their population is Hindu
Because majority of Indians do not want a nation made of religion. A nation made on religion has never been a big success in this world and never will.
I hate this secularism really don't know why people want Pakistan to be a secular nation, I mean Pakistan was made for the Muslims if it not had been Muslims struggle than we would have been living in India under a tyrannical law
What tyrannical law?
Why would a Hindu not want a Hindu state? Is there some fear among Hindus also if the state becomes Hindu state ?
It might really surprise you, but there are many Indians who do not think in terms of religious identity. It goes against the very essence of Hinduism. There is no fear, just understanding of what is best for the country. Religion and state should always be separate, nations who did not adhere, paid the price
If there can be catholic, muslim, buddhist and atheist countries, why shouldn't there be a hindu country?
Because most Indians do not want that. That was never the concept of India and never will be
Yes, my question is : are Hindus scared of religion playing a role of putting forth strict Hindu guidelines and will not allow Hindus to live the way they want also ? Or are they worried about what will happen to their fellow muslims/christians ?
Hindus are worried about nothing. They just do not want state and religion to be the same. Hinduism is a very private practice. Your version seems more like other religions and nothing to do with hinduism
it is testimony to the success of the conspiracy against hindus, that the first to object to anything hindu, are the hindus themselves. when will hindus wake up. when will they start asserting their pride in their religion. they think it is cool to eat beef because muslims and christians do so. they even term their religious events as mythology. do you see muslims or christians terming any of their miracles as mythology? and if you are a proud hindu, they(the so called secular hindus) will call you an internet hindu, have you seen anyone called internet christian or internet muslim? they even use the term hindu rate of growth, what has religion to do with growth of economy?? and what is this fashion of saying oh my God, and inshaAllah by hindus, to either sound secular or cool?
if you don't take pride in your religion, then don't expect others to respect your religion.
Your post goes against the very essence of Hinduism and it is clear you have very little knowledge. People like you just want to turn Hinduism into a carbon copy of the other religions in the world
For your information, Malayali (and certain south states) always used to eat beef since ancient times. There is no prohibition against beef in Hinduism. in fact, there is no prohibition about anything at all. Hinduism is mainly about guidance. And the emphasis is on deeds and not what you eat or how many times you pray. This is very clear. Your version sounds just like carbon copies of other religions
Hinduism can co-exist with other religions because it acknowledges that there are multiple way to reach God. By deeds. By prayer. By thinking. That is what i am proud about. I am proud about Hinduism because I don't need to defend it or flaunt it at every opportunity. i am proud because being a Hindu i am still allowed to say Oh My God. That i am allowed to question and interpret it's myths. What you think is the weakness of Hinduism is it's strength. You seem to want to remove all tolerance of Hinduism and make it like other religions with a different name. That is not what Hinduism is about and never will be
A true Hindu will be far removed from such insecurity. Or the need to defend himself. Or competition, or numbers. Hinduism is far above all these petty things. It is the quality and not quantity which counts. Even a complete atheist not believing in God but being good and moral is a Hindu. It is far better that we have only one single true Hindu in the world than just make numbers by turning the most tolerant religion in the world into a copy of other religions
