In what fuckin universe does that even make sense. How dull does the mind have to be to justify this? I couldn't chop an arm off of someone I hate, let alone a kid. Let alone all the other insert word to describe this horror.

I'm not too familiar with India's politics, but what does the BJP have to do with this incident? And how will changing parties solve these issues - is there any political party in India that's actually good and not corrupt? I heard corruption is pretty common across all of the government sector, regardless of the party in power?

Everything. They incite violence using the fragility of our enviornment. They fund terrorists like RSS and VHP to supress minorities and make the environment more patriarchal according to hindu scriptures. some parties are corrupt but BJP is the most corrupt and it is trying to increase it more because more corruption = more hindu extreamism = more votes.

Congress is corrupt, but they're just corrupt, they don't care about much beyond self-enrichment.

The BJP is MAGA on crack with 500x as much religious zealotry pitched in.

Muslim genocide isn't that outrageous to them, there were several instances where they rallied to butcher Muslims in the past.

And to make things worse, the religious conflicts are also political conflicts, because of the Muslim-majority parts of India eventually splitting into Pakistan and later Bangladesh. As a result, nationalist Indians want all Muslims to be deported to either of those places, as they consider them fundamentally incompatible with the national faith and culture, which for them are one thing and the same.

Let's be honest, they want them deported "for now".

Later it'll turn back into needing those lands back for "Greater Bharat(India)!!".

Ultranationalists are never original.

Yep, both sides-ing is a terrible argument, and it becomes clear when you see the difference in these things. Capitalism is terrible, capitalism boosted by bigotry is a whole another evil
