I was just loafing around. :p You mean besides the millions of likes I get for most of my pics? I don't really have people on my list who would make these kind of comments. And if they did, they wouldn't be on my list much longer. However, I do not deny that such people exist. They do. And quite a lot of them are well qualified. beetle and Late Cut 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not uttering 'Bharat Mata ki jai' is not a crime. The issue that *some* Muslims have with saying 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' is with the mata part. Its the deifying of the 'mata' that they object to. I don't think anyone has an issue saying Jai Hind, or India Zindabad or Hail Mogambo or whatever. From a strategic PoV, for me, the murkier issue is that many folks have developed a mindset about not uttering those words, and that too when it is about their own nation People can be slapped for a variety of reasons Edited July 19, 2017 by zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This assault is pathetic and should be condemned and hopefully the guilty are put behind the bar but I have a question. Why not just say it and get it over with, specially when you are stuck in a sutatuion like this. No need to keep religion on you chest, be smart and say it. These gundas are not asking to insult Islam or their family. I am from Haryana and I know how the jaat mentality works. Again i am not defending the goons, I am just saying that some Muslim folks need not to keep the religion card on their chest all the times.

The Outsider Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 It's an everyday and normalized thing in India now. Peripheral media still reports such incidents. http://indianexpress.com/article/india/mentally-challenged-muslim-thrashed-on-suspicion-of-being-a-cattle-thief-4758493/ Daily slaughter of Muslims is well under way where they have to cower to hide identities and remove any distinguishing marks while moving around in public. There is no stopping the Hindutva terrorists who run a powerful nation through democracy and not through dictatorship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haarkarjeetgaye Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Using mata is offensive, even to a Hindu like me. There is no motherland. There is a country. Motherland is used by politicians to sell death to innocent soldiers. mishra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comedy time: For you, your mother is incomparable. By that logic, your mother would feel the same about her mother, and so on. So which one is truly incomparable?
