The notion of Hindu victimhood is largely a 1980s creation, exploited for electoral purposes by LK Advani and passed down, in some garbled form, to the rabble.
There's an existential turning point coming at the prosperous but clueless Hindu-American community. If we don’t have our own story to convey to our children we'll be silenced by stories of others.
3 yrs after it was filed, CRD has dropped lawsuit against him & engineer Ramana Kompella. Iyer says California civil rights dept 'lied & hid evidence' from court, media & activists.
The issue that Hindu Canadians are facing is not about isolated incidents, nor is it about two minuscule minorities who are obsessing over rivalries in their ancestral lands.
Georgia first US state to pass such a resolution. It was sponsored by Republican representatives, and comes a year after India called upon UN to address danger of 'religious phobias'.
New Delhi: Khalistan activists and Islamists are colluding to create “a narrative of Hindu hatred” in Western democracies, claims an article published this week...
Student 'failed' in first-year LLM course & sought principal Inamur Rehman's help to clear exams, the latter claims. When he refused to help, student lodged 'false & baseless complaint'.
Hindu American Foundation's lecture on "Rising Hinduphobia” addressed the experiences of Indian Hindu in the US who feel discriminated against because of their religion.
A poor Muslim man from Kurnool, selling khoya buns during the Medaram Jatara in Telangana, was harassed by some YouTubers and surrounded by a mob over allegations of 'food jihad'.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
I completely disagree with you. Muslims as a thought are a threat to indian democracy. Any country whose muslim population increases to 50 percent, democracy and human rights cease to exist ( exception being Indonesia in which also there are several reports of religious intolerance). You probably know Bangladesh and their atrocities on Hindus.
Ask your elders about the 1947 partition.
Why do I feel like you have taken money from George Soros or maybe his shell company. Transparent journalism my foot.
Gaslighting: The act of saying that what happened never happened. And is imagined. Temples were not attacked by Khalistanis in Canada. Temples were not attacked by muslims in Bangladesh. Forced conversions dont happen in Pakistan.
May you experience same gas lighting for bad things that happen to you.
Mr Singhavi few points:
1. Middle East doesn’t care if you are Hindu/Muslim. There criterion is Arabic/Non-Arabic. Well read and well travelled gentleman must have known this.
2. This is a well known fact that funds from Middle East is furling Wahabisim across all over the world, which has reduced just slightly after MBS came to power. You may get too many research/intelligence reports for the same.
3. Can a lower middle income country such as ours become middle income country in 10 years? Modi or even a magician can’t take our country to level of Middle Eastern countries in 10 years. Per capita income of GCC countries – USD 33000 and per capita income of India -2800
Therefore even with higher growth rate in India, people will immigrate for better opportunities in wealthy country
Just to present counter that points given in your article were invalid and hence hypothesis
An idiotic article. One wonders exactly how harebrained a person has to be to come up with such a ridiculous line of argument.
Coupled with the fake accent Mr. Sanghvi has on The Print video, it’s truly pathetic.
One wonders why Shekhar Gupta continues providing a platform for elements like Vir Sanghvi and Sagarika Ghose.
I would personally prefer to read/hear criticism of the government from Kapil Komireddi, PB Mehta, Jaffrelot and others.
Vir Sanghvi and his La La land.
The specious arguments are so ridiculously easy to see through. It’s laughable indeed.
Maybe Mamata Banerjee will reward Singhvi too with a Rajya Sabha nomination.
Vir Sanghvi, Are you really naive or have to somehow show your secular credentials by hook or crook that you need to come up with some convoluted logic. Indians are living happily and peacefully in Middle east because in most of those countries, there is rule of law and it applies to all. There is no forceful or deceitful conversion, there are no attacks on temples, no kidnapping and raping of women from minority community, there are no attacks on religious processions, etc. etc. Many Indian muslims on the other hand are known and self-professed arrogant intolerent , in collaboration with Pakistani muslims bent on making India a muslim country by 2047 and are working on this mission. It works by increasing population by conversion, infiltration, terrorism. Do you ever look at the plight of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh? Breaking of idols and destroying temples, looting, kidnapping, raping, forceful marriage and conversions are happening even today. Does it ever bother you? Indian muslims, Pakistani muslims and Bangladeshi muslims are of this nature. The muslims of Middle east do not even consider south Asian muslims to be their own. The stand of BJP/RSS/VHP and others is that if Indian muslims need to be prevented from succeeding in their aggressive mission. That is not victimhood. That is deep sense of long term threat. So far Indian civilization has been losing territory – Sind, more than half of Punjab, Kashmir, Bengal is irreversibly lost. If Islamic aggression keeps continuing, one by one cities/states are going to become muslim majority and demand Sharia law in course of time. That is nothing but anarchy. Do you want that to happen to the India that has remained after thousands of years of invasions?
I believe the term you’re looking for is ‘Aporophobia’—prejudice against the poor. Modi and the Sangh do not have a religious phobia but a phobia of poverty itself. Their elitist stance targets ‘poor’ Muslims and Hindus alike, reflecting a historical pattern of siding with power, including during colonial times. In India, the rich dominate as the primary spending class, with businesses and policies catering to them. Poverty is seen as a ‘disease,’ and the wealthy falsely believe they alone can ‘eradicate’ it. This is why Modi and the Sangh are not threatened by Gulf Muslims—they are not specifically poor, and therefore, do not challenge the elite status quo.
Can vir Sanghvi cite any statistics about his claim of a sizeable Hindu minority in Arab countries. Does he have any numbers to back up his claim? Or are those one of his brain-fart hastily put together articles ensconced in a seemingly logical coherence of any sort.
Perhaps you need to take a relook at your own biases against Modi, BJP and Hindus in general. The Arab world does not buy your “story” which you have been trying to hard sell for a decade that Muslims are targeted, persecuted and given second grade treatment under Modi. You need to change your success if information. Let the opposition do their vote bank politics but as a senior journalist, you need to read between the lines
What a distille duffer this radis stenographer is…Opppressed hindus ina bogus rhetoruc ? tell tyhat to thousands of kashmiri pandits who were killed, raped, tortured and kicked out of their jhomes by jihadis in kashmir

If we go by the mismatch between BJP’s actions rhetoric, the only place Hindus are persecuted is in India and it started after May 2014.
