Hindu Terrorism


Leave it to Rajeev Srinivasan to cut through the impenetrable fog of propaganda and dig out the truth. Aam Aadmi is a huge fan of the guy and hopes that he keeps at it as long as he can. God bless him!!

Hindu terrorism doesn't exist, but do we want one?

"However, in India, so-called 'secularism' means precisely the opposite — the state looks upon every individual primarily based on his religion. For instance, the PM made the statement in December, 2006, that Muslims should have first rights to the resources of the country. This violates the Constitution, but it has become part of the accepted ethos through repetition.

The most blatant example of this propaganda is the current feeding frenzy about 'Hindu terror'. The fact is that there is practically no history of Hindu terror. Religious terrorism has traditionally been the monopoly of the Abrahamic traditions, including Communism. Monotheists by definition divide the world into 'us' and 'them', and demonise the Other, probably a necessary condition for terror.
