“All religions are the same and God/Allah has many names.”

This was the blasphemous statement that led to Dipu Chandra Das being lynched and burned.

Your secularism won’t save you, seculars.

Where did I mention tribals?

[ভদ্রলোক @bhadraloka1]

@sankrant Ok sir, though I am still not sure if these are relevant for WB. Here there isn't any conflict between tribals and Bengalis, low conversion, and tribals mostly see themselves as Hindus only. I come from a rural tribal district of WB so I grew up with tribals.

Hindus should be classified as following indigenous traditions of bharat.

I've written up a protection of indigenous traditions act, from the Courts, from the aggressive "soul harvesters"— can easily be put in place.

+ equal rights in education, running schools etc.

[ভদ্রলোক @bhadraloka1]

How does one design a govt scheme for Hindus alone? I would genuinely love to learn about an example.

[Sankrant Sanu सानु संक्रान्त ਸੰਕ੍ਰਾਂਤ ਸਾਨੁ @sankrant]

It can be done at the state level as well. Special protection for Hindus as mool-nivasis. Legal structure to counter mullah-missionary war machine.

Holy Sh*t: that changes the whole Fable 5 story completely:

On June 11, the very same day Amazon reportedly uncovered the jailbreak, “Mythos” allegedly breached almost all classified systems belonging to the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command, not over the course of weeks, but within hours.

"On June 11th Mark Warner, the vice-chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said that General Joshua Rudd, who leads the National Security Agency and the Pentagon’s Cyber Command, had told him that Mythos “broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks, but in hours”."

As an Indian woman from Muslim heritage, I write this rebuttal with the clarity and directness that comes from living the reality @Ilhan only tweets about from afar. Ilhan Omar’s claim that India has reached the “eighth stage of genocide” against Muslims is not analysis. It is reckless, fact-free propaganda that insults every one of us who actually live here, work here, raise families here, and exercise our rights every single day.

If there were even the beginning of genocide, our population would not have exploded. In 1951, Muslims were about 9.8% of India. By 2011, we were 14.2%. Today we are estimated around 14.5–15%, heading toward 18% by 2050 according to Pew projections. From roughly 35 million in 1951 to over 200 million now. Absolute numbers have multiplied nearly six-fold while the country’s overall population grew far slower in percentage terms. Genocide does not produce the world’s largest Muslim-minority population that keeps growing faster than the national average for decades. It produces mass graves and fleeing refugees. We have neither.

We vote in every election in the world’s largest democracy. We contest seats, win them, become MPs, ministers, judges, IAS officers, doctors, engineers, and business leaders. Three Presidents of India have been Muslim. We serve in the armed forces and police. We own businesses, run hospitals, produce films, and dominate segments of entertainment and sports. This is not the signature of a community facing extermination.

We are thriving and prospering — with real data and real lives. Yes, like every large community, we have internal challenges — lower average literacy and educational enrollment in some metrics, pockets of poverty, and the need for better skilling. But the narrative of uniform victimhood is a lie told by people who have never walked through a Muslim-dominated area in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Lucknow, or Kerala and seen the middle class, the professionals, the entrepreneurs, and the young women studying medicine and engineering.

Prominent Indian Muslims — from business (Wipro’s Azim Premji built one of India’s largest companies), to cinema (generations of stars and directors), to sports, academia, and medicine — show what is possible when talent meets opportunity in a free society. Millions of ordinary Muslim families have moved from villages to cities, from informal work to formal jobs, from one generation of limited schooling to the next pursuing professional degrees. That is prosperity in motion, not persecution.

We enjoy specific rights and accommodations that Hindus as a group do not. This is the part Omar and her echo chamber never mention. Indian Muslims operate under a parallel personal law system for marriage, divorce, inheritance, and maintenance rooted in Sharia. Hindus do not.
After independence, Hindu personal law was comprehensively reformed and codified into a uniform framework (Hindu Marriage Act, Hindu Succession Act, etc.). Muslims retained the right to follow their own religious laws — including provisions for polygamy (up to four wives) and differential inheritance rules that the Hindu majority surrendered decades ago.

We also have constitutional minority protections under Articles 29 and 30 that allow us to establish and administer our own educational institutions with significant autonomy — rights the Hindu majority does not claim as a group because it is not classified as a minority. The Waqf Act gives Muslim institutions unique control over vast religious and charitable properties in a manner unparalleled for any other community.
In short: the Indian state has gone out of its way, through personal laws and minority safeguards, to preserve and accommodate Muslim religious and cultural identity in ways it has not extended equivalently to the Hindu majority. These are not “equal rights” in every narrow sense — they are deliberate accommodations that give us more space to live according to our traditions than the majority community receives under the same Constitution.

As a woman from Muslim heritage in India, I have the full protection of the Indian Constitution plus the framework of personal law. The criminalization of instant triple talaq in 2019 removed a specific vulnerability that existed under uncodified practice. I can study, work, vote, travel, criticize the government, wear what I choose (or not), and practice my faith openly — all while living in a country where my community’s population share has steadily risen for 75 years.

@Ilhan Omar’s “eighth stage of genocide” rhetoric is not solidarity. It is the lazy export of American culture-war talking points onto a country and a people she does not understand. It erases the agency of 200+ million Indian Muslims who are neither cowering nor waiting for rescue from Washington. It cheapens the word “genocide” while real atrocities happen elsewhere.
Stop peddling foreign fantasies about our lives. We are here. We are visible. We are voting. We are building. And we reject your narrative with the facts of our own existence. That is the view from inside — not from a podium in the United States.

They are totalitarians, Nazis are their ideological cousins.

So they hate anyone who stands for freedom.

[Sankrant Sanu सानु संक्रान्त ਸੰਕ੍ਰਾਂਤ ਸਾਨੁ @sankrant]

This is literally copying the dumb Islamic argument—how come Hindus are still alive after Islamic rule.

Because they resisted.

So “every temple under Islamic rule would have been destroyed” is a naive and deceptive argument.

What “South Asians” whitewash is the strong theological motivation for Islamic iconoclasm—leading to widespread temple destruction under their rule.

The key technique for the whitewash is precisely what he uses—look Hindus destroyed a temple too. Complete irrelevant obfuscation.

What is this desperate need to simp for Islam?

[Ujaan @ujaanghosh]

@sankrant 2/ Then every temple under islamic jurisdiction would have been destroyed. But they were not. Ultimately Political motivations and expediency trumped theological concerns. And finally, different Islamic rulers/dynasties had different approaches to politics so no such homogenenous

40 years in shipping gave me one unusual qualification as a historian: I had no academic orthodoxies to protect.

When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I followed the sea lanes backwards into deep antiquity. Without exception, they converged on the Indian subcontinent. This was not the book I had intended to write.

I must give credit to my editor, who gave an unknown author with a controversial approach, an opportunity. His first attempts to find peer reviewers encountered significant resistance. The argument that India sat at the centre of ancient world trade, not its periphery, was considered, to put it gently, inconvenient.

What I found, and what I could not stop finding, is that placing India at the centre of world history does not simply revise one chapter. It cascades. Correct the starting assumption and you are forced to reconsider the origins of mathematics, medicine, philosophy, linguistics, religion. Each conclusion leads to another. I came to call these the collateral heresies.

My three books explain the architecture of how they connect.

If you work in a field where received wisdom is protected by institutional interest rather than evidence, you will recognise the pattern. The question is whether the evidence eventually wins.

[Sankrant Sanu सानु संक्रान्त ਸੰਕ੍ਰਾਂਤ ਸਾਨੁ @sankrant]

Academia worldwide, in general, is a protector of orthodoxy. “Peer review” is a cartel which prevents new ideas from seeing light. No surprise that the most innovative work in “social science” and history is coming from outside academia.

As @nickcollins1953 says, “attempts to find peer reviewers encountered significant resistance. The argument that India sat at the centre of ancient world trade, not its periphery, was considered, to put it gently, inconvenient.”

India needs to double down on the FCRA missionary ban.

The more they squeal the more we are on the right track.

[Anshul Saxena @AskAnshul]

Who would have thought that India's FCRA would unite both parties in the USA?

In USA, members of both the Democratic and Republican parties on Capitol Hill have raised objections to the proposed changes to India’s Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA).

Under FCRA rules, an organisation whose registration is cancelled or ceases to be valid cannot receive foreign funding.

This has also impacted those missionary organisations that were engaged in religious conversion activities, as the loss of FCRA registration and foreign funding has significantly curtailed their ability to carry out such activities.

In the coming days, expect a barrage of articles, commentaries, and carefully crafted narratives not only from the USA but from across the Western world portraying India as a country where religious freedom is disappearing, NGOs are being choked, and human rights voices are being suppressed. The playbook is already unfolding.

It’s not just “nationwide” it’s a global phenomenon.

Islamic rape of non-Muslim girls happens on an industrial scale wherever they can.

Because it is rooted in an Islamic belief system of supremacy and conquest.

[Jamie Bambrick @j_bambrick]

Here are eight essential quotes from @RupertLowe10's Rape Gang Inquiry.

1) This was a nationwide, not merely local, phenomenon.

"...that this was never a series of isolated local failures. It was a coordinated, nationwide pattern of organised child sexual exploitation that repeated in town after town, city after city, from the far north to the south coast."

2) The scale was enormous, more than anyone dared to think.

"The scale of the crimes committed is staggering. It has been previously established that, at the very least, 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion, and lifelong trauma. The true number is probably higher."

3) As has been reported, the vast majority of perpetrators were Pakistani Muslims.

" In court records and official inquiries, around 87% of those convicted in these group-based child sexual exploitation (‘CSE’) cases bore distinctively Muslim names... Dr. Taj Hargey, an imam with the Oxford Islamic Congregation, believes the true proportion of gang members who are Muslims to be around 95%."

4) Vulnerable girls were targeted using a consistent method.

"Organised networks of perpetrators built coordinated operations that transported victims between locations, supplied them with drugs and alcohol, recorded abuse for distribution and blackmail, and passed girls between multiple adult men."

5) The police, and other institutions, knew what was happening and ignored it.

"Police forces ignored repeated reports, criminalised victims instead of perpetrators, destroyed evidence, and allowed known rapists to walk free on bail. Social care services undermined protective parents, placed children in trafficking hubs inside children’s homes, closed cases despite clear indicators of exploitation, and retaliated against whistleblowers. The NHS recorded genital injuries, multiple sexually transmitted infections in children as young as 13, pregnancies caused by rape, and suicide attempts, yet discharged victims back to their abusers without safeguarding referrals or trauma care. Schools observed older men collecting girls at the gates, heard disclosures of rape on school premises, and responded by excluding victims rather than protecting them."

6) Those in these institutions did so because they were afraid of being called 'racist'.

"Political correctness, fear of accusations of racism, and fear of losing electoral support from certain demographics have taken precedence over the protection of British children."

7) Parts of the foster and orphan care system became exploitation hotspots.

"Children’s homes became trafficking hubs where staff failed to stop older men collecting girls at night. Local authorities often returned children to unsafe homes and placements despite repeated disclosures of grooming... Social care across England systematically enabled organised grooming and the rape of children. Children’s services, local authorities, foster carers, children’s homes, and independent units repeatedly returned vulnerable children to known risk."

8) Multiple offenders explicitly linked their treatment of these girls with their own religious and cultural beliefs, and the girls' white ethnicity.

"They were taken to houses, flats, restaurants, and hotels where they were raped repeatedly by groups of men, tortured, filmed for blackmail, and told they were “white trash” or “kuffar” who merited punishment."

There must be comeuppance for this, and it must involve the death penalty.
