The Jim Crow project was not eliminationist. Hindu nationalists likewise seek not the physical elimination of Muslims, but rather their relegation to second-class citizenship, scholars Ashutosh Varshney and Connor Staggs write in the Journal of Democracy.
SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
Many really smart people now share the position that playing cricket with Pakistan is politically, strategically and morally wrong. It is just a poor appreciation of competitive sport.
This joker has a PhD in Political Science from MIT. After Claudine Gay, also a PhD in Pol. Sci. though from Harvard. It is clear from these 2 idiots that Social Sciences, even in the best US universities, are useless disciplines.
One thing, Indians need to understand, is that in the US, each Professor has to have a theory to sell, in order to make a name. This joker has this Jim Crow theory of India under BJP and is hell bent on showing similarities, no matter how superficial or coincidental. This way, he can go to conferences every year and talk about his Jim Crow theory.
This idiot doesn’t know that admissions to most of India’s top Engg and Medical colleges are based on a entrance exam, where nobody knows your name. Further, MCQ questions are corrected by computers, so there is no discrimination of any sort.
He can’t even do elementary research to see that the number of Muslim students in India’s top colleges has gone up tremendously in the last 10 years. Of course, this has nothing to do with BJP but the Muslim community taking to education. But under Jim Crow, black students would not be admitted to colleges.
These duffers cannot grasp elementary differences between their useless theory and Indian realities.
There were 9.5 million Hindus enslaved under the Christians and Muslims, in 1850. Indian Christians were involved in over 50% of the Indian slave trade. Hindus deserve reparations.
This is a fantastic fictional writing with vague “sky is falling” allegations which have no basis. I am disappointed that The Print is harbouring fascists masquerading as journalists.
This is an example of Hindu Phobia. The author is a bigotted mindset, as the entitles leftists who used to sound intelligent have been exposed. State clear and credible examples of your idiotic fear or publish your apology!!! This behaviour will no longer be tolerated!! Gone are your days.
What freaks? Btw, in India we say Indians. That they are Hindu or Muslims or any other faith is secondary. So, the citizens are not Muslim Indians but Indians who follow Islam. I wonder why The Print has a need to publish such articles ??? To the editors… Have some sense of what your readers want please….
This is an article not worthy of a respectable journal like the print. It’s lack of facts and logic is exceeded only by the bias Mr Varshney has for / against certain ideologies. There should always be criticism of govt. That’s one of the key functions of press. But there has to be some amount of intellect and objectivity
Being a professor in US university is hardly a certificate for either of the qualities as was evident in the recent congressional hearings and plagiarizing case of harvard dean. Would request the print editorial staff to get better authors
I am sure this guy will wet his pants if asked to govern a constituency for a day. Then he will pen another essay about how he was a victimized and will finally end his day eating Biryani at Abdul’s.
I am amused and at the same time bewildered at the lack of honesty and know-it-all on display here by these western “elites”, oh sorry, scholars!
Look at the broad strokes painted to pin down Hindus, and Indian population in general, as racist, islamophobe, violent, and much more. A desperate attempt to draw attention of North American audience ,who may have understanding of Jim Crow Era, and thus by explicit call of similarity, also forced to think of current Indian administration, people, civil societies and especially Hindus as the evil reincarnates of those times.
Renaming or tearing down statues, monuments, buildings of colonizers, invaders, slave traders by rioting crowd in Europe and North America is OK for these liberandus and applauded as freedom of expression and righting the wrong. When it comes to exactly same situation in India, they develop cramps to extend the same courtesy, and on top of it, chastize the majority of this country. Oh yes, because these billion plus people are stupid, bigots, crass who do not know any good, and the faith they impose in electing their government to do their wishes, is a display of Muslim hatred, says these custodians of liberalism!
I used to wonder who funds publications of such egregious articles where carte blanche exists to so stunningly abuse a religion (Hinduism), a nation (India that is Bharat) and still remain on rosters; not any more. This cabal of western, pseudo secular, liberandu and biased media houses do get funding from the destabilizing forces whose sole aim is to derail the progress and journey back to enlightenment of a country which refuses to toe their line. Keep it up, you are actually helping the cause, since your disdain and belittling of India and things Indians value is not hidden anymore.
Fed up of these Boring lectures of such videshi professers since 2014 …Get a life man..your logics and stupid comparisons makes people laugh at you nowadays.
Don’t worry guys, these guys are unable to fathom the shift in equilibrium. They are used to the Nehruvian way or rather the Congress way of things in which minorities deserve the rights to Indian resources first.
Now with the end of this appeasement politics, these people think that Muslims are being deprived of their rights.
Narendra Modi has shifted the mindset of people now. Like in USA it is a norm for every President to take oath on the Bible but in India it would be considered a “death of democracy”, or “Hindu dictatorship”, if everyone started taking oath on Bhagvad Gita.
These people need to come out their little holes that they have built for themselves and accept the new change that is taking place in this new era.
Abrogation of Article 370 is anti-muslim ? Are you kidding me ? Embarassed by the ‘scholarship’ of the gentlemen. While the lynchings cannot be condoned and there is a case to be made for ‘othering’ of the Muslims, but to call such things systematic injustice and comparing them to Jim Crow laws is really a severe case of self-flagellation. Is there any cases or uproar of any minorities when it comes to deriving them of benefits from the Govt’s social welfare programmes ?

What India desperately needs is McCarthy. Jim Crow can wait…
