ravishingravi Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Report was big eye opener for many aspects. Biggest ones being, marxist ideals and minorities in danger narrative, doesn't fly in reality in India.
coffee_rules Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 Hindus are Hindus, believe in god, largely tolerant about all religions, worship cows and don’t prefer eating beef and they want to marry in their religion . Muslims are religious. Prefer Islamic courts over Indian courts for personal laws and they too want to marry in their religiion. What this research shows is what all of the sane , reasonable IQ people knew about India. Narrative builders , saatvi fail leftists and influencers are the ones to be shocked of such revelations velu 1
BacktoCricaddict Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 This chart was most interesting. 84% of Muslims would be willing to accept a Hindu as a neighbor, whereas only 64% Hindus would accept a Muslim as a neighbor. And 27% of Hindus would not accept a Jain as a neighbor? That seems very surprising. Most of us would not even be able to recognize someone as a Jain unless they told us or had "Jain" in their last name. If a Priyesh Shah moved in next door to me, how the heck would I know if he was a Hindu or Jain? Mariyam and velu 2

Buddhists are populated in Leh/Ladakh region, rest are Marathi Buddhists (Narayan or Ambedkarites) , most wouldn’t know if their neighbor is a Buddhist by name as well.

The only reason I may not want a Jain as my neighbor is for fear of being judged for cooking meat for my family even though I am myself a vegetarian. ;-)

coffee_rules Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 I don’t know how people can not eat non-veg , but cook it. My SO doesn’t let any dead being in the kitchen. I have given up eating meat since last 6 yrs. To be honest, due to a epiphany, but will never cook. If kids or people want to eat meat, they can order. Good for commerce.

I guess we all have different wires. Nobody is holier than anybody ... as a plant biochemist, I have the urge to correct folks who say "I don't eat animals because I don't like to take lives" ... or in your post using "dead beings" to include only animals :-). Nervous system or not, pain-response or not, sentience or not ... plants are living beings (as are bacteria, mushrooms etc.). That is not arguable. Edited July 2, 2021 by BacktoCricaddict
