NEW: Activists with the Boycott, Divestments and Sanctions (BDS) movement and No Harbour for Genocide (NHB) are raising the alarm over what they describe as a "flood" of military supplies from India to Israel, after six shipments of suspected military-grade steel were identified on multiple vessels en route to weapons factories in Israel.

The shipments, activists said, amounted to around 806 tonnes of military-grade steel, and could produce up to 17,458 artillery (155mm) shells for the Israeli military.

western media is just one big megaphone for jewish supremacy and Muslim hatred. a shooter murders and terrorizes Muslims in a mosque, but the BBC report is concerned with the (((feelings))) of people in a nearby synagogue.

Yes, India's constitution has enshrined fundamental rights for every citizen irrespective of faith.

But it's just a piece of paper if it is not implemented.

India is a de facto ethno-democracy

[Press Trust of India @PTI_News]

VIDEO | Oslo, Norway: "We are one-sixth of the world’s total population, but not one-sixth of the world’s problems; we have a Constitution that guarantees fundamental rights of the people," said MEA Secretary (West) Sibi George rebutting a question on human rights in India and why the country should be trusted.

Jailed Pakistani PM had claimed that US had a role in his removal.

Some time ago @IrfanHindustan told me that the West worked to "de-democraticise" Muslim countries i.e. Pakistan, Indonesia, Iran etc

A democratic Muslim society is a threat to the US imperial project

Because the saffron high command in Delhi and Nagpur have been eyeing Bengal since Day 1, it will take on a near totemic significance in their scheme of things. It will be transformed into a stage to perform Hindutva in a way not seen anywhere else. This would primarily mean “correcting” Bengal’s syncretic history, systematically sidelining Muslims & repositioning the Bangladesh border as a sectarian dividing line. There is little doubt that this agenda of transformation will bring along with it unmitigated physical and structural violence.

From 2024:

“Hindus who were forced to migrate from Bangladesh in different times form the vote bank of the BJP here,”

“But the idea of Hindu persecution in Bangladesh is now drawing even the so-called secular Hindu families towards the BJP.”

Trump’s push over the weekend to force ships through Hormuz failed to break Iran’s blockade, instead triggering attacks on the UAE as well as US and Iranian ships and bringing the ceasefire to the brink.

Now it’s abruptly paused, with Trump claiming “great progress” in talks.

Majority of Indian Hindus are against violence.

Only a tiny section of Hindu society has been engaged in terrorism and lynched innocent Muslims

The entire Hindu community should not be blamed

[Shashank Mattoo @MattooShashank]

"The majority of Indian Islam is totally against violence. We have the second largest population of Muslims in India. But not one Indian Muslim went to fight in the jihad against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan despite global recruitment," said Ajit Doval in 2014
