So it seems that LibertarianAnarchist, in fact, is an advocate of a Hindu Nationalist Point of View with a decidely fascist tinge to his assertions.
This sort of statement is nothing but slander. My own political leaning is towards a peaceful anarchy. I do not support any political party.
However, the following are FACTS:
1) India is a democracy.
2) India's ruling coalition has a Hindu Prime Minister, a Christian Defence Minister and the President is a Muslim who was the ruling party's candidate.
3) India is a secular state and the issue is not between secularism and Hindu theocracy. Those who are branded Hindu fascists are those who question the following laws in India and want to abolish them.
(a) The Shariat is applicable in India and Muslim women are at the mercy of Mullahs. This is supposedly to protect "Muslim culture." The courts cannot rule in cases relating to Muslim women and there was a case where the Mullahs decided to shave the head of a woman seeking divorce. (b) Muslims are allowed to run educational institutions and even get Government funding and so Madrasas are funded. However, Hindus are not allowed to run educational institutions! (c) Haj trips to Mecca are subsidised. You know, fascism and all that, there are people who want to remove this subsidy. (d) The only Muslim majority state in India gets special rights! All others are equal, but some are more equal. The special right in this case is that Kashmiri Muslims can buy property anywhere in India, while the other indians are banned from buying property in Kashmir.
4) India was a socialist state and I am surprised that you do not know this! It modelled itself after USSR complete with a planning commission and public sector companies and private enterprise was for all practical purposes banned until recently. You needed to get a license to run a factory or start a company.
5) The Indian English language media *is* Communist. Search for N.Ram who is the editor of 'The Hindu.' He called the agitation in Tiananmen Square a "western inspired revachenist conspiracy by counterrevolutionaries" and here are links to EDITORIALS which appeared in Times of India. I've given these two editorials because they appeared on the same day! Two pro-Communist editorials on a single day. The second one fondly desires that the two Communist parties merge into one.
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/cms.dll/xml/uncomp/articleshow?art_id=600... "Perhaps this is what Vladimir Lenin meant when he referred to imperialism being the highest stage of capitalism."
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/cms.dll/xml/uncomp/articleshow?art_id=600... Comrades All
Here is more stuff from Times of India: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/cms.dll/xml/uncomp/articleshow?art_id=103... Capitalism is as flawed as other systems
"Lenin was logically consistent in refusing to allow freedom of choice in either political or material goods."
6) VR Krishna Iyer quoted in the article was a Minister in the Marxist Govt. This is a FACT. You can deny it for all you want.
7) Sabrang is a Communist organization. This is also a FACT.
8) When the initial firebombing happened, the editorials of the Communist rags blamed the Hindus. If you are ignorant of this, what am I supposed to do?
9) The article in question which now uses the words "apparently Hindus" actually used the words "allegedly Hindus" until not so long ago, but a few paragraphs below, it makes an ASSERTION that they were Hindus who created trouble and hence the spontaneous firebombing happened. You see, except you and your whiteskinned race, the rest of us are barbarians.
10) Travel across North India and you will see that not a single Hindu temple older than 150 years exists which has not been smashed by Muslim invaders.
11) Islam has been an aggressive religion. This is a FACT. It has caused damage and misery. This is also a FACT. Hindus have not been violent despite your best efforts to project Hindus that way. This is also a FACT. Keep denying all you want. It wasn't the Hindus who slammed planes into buildings killing thousands of people. You are a bigoted person to brand Hindus who are one of the most peaceful people as fascists. Shame on you.
Let me tell you why you wrote what you did. You are probably a White skinned American who is brainwashed into believing that only White Americans are peaceful people while all the rest are barbarians. No wonder you guys supported Osama bin Laden without batting an eyelid and consider it a sacred act of defending liberty even though he was killing people in other countries.
Asking for factual accuracies is Hindu fascism? Since when is that? Admit it, you didn't know that indian media is communist, that indian media actually gloated when Hindus were firebombed and you blame Hindus of whining.
Oh yes, white skins are here to save the world and any attack on whites is an attack on liberty while evil Hindus will lob nuclear missiles all over the world and therefore the world is a dangerous place! After all, it was the evil Hindus who dropped atomic bombs on Japan even though Japan was on the verge of surrender and the Generals had said that it wasn't required.
I am sorry to say that such entries which carry propaganda and factual inaccuracies not only show Wikipedia to be of poor quality but posts such as Fred Bauder's are nothing short of racist.
If any indian political party of any indian acts against freedom, trust me, I will be the first to oppose it. Instead, Fred Bauder has indulged in mudslinging and a racist attack.
I have given references and proven that the media is indeed Marxist. Why are you against going by verifiable information? I am truly puzzled.
