I can share ten stories where the offenders are Muslims and the victims are Hindus. Wire won't be covering those stories. This newspaper is as prejudiced against Hindus as it gets.

Please do not take HN threads further into religious flamewar hell. That is the last thing we need here.

The Wire doesn’t need to cover them because mainstream media channels are already blasting them on primetime everyday.

Amazing that in a country where there’s a Hindu in practically every single position of authority, Hindus still harbor such a deep seated victimization complex.

That’s exactly what I dont understand. It’s so ingrained. In my apartment complex’s (Indian residing in India here) WhatsApp group, we’ll have people whose WhatsApp numbers are from the Middle East but they’ll be fulminating about Muslims like the rules of irony don’t apply to them.

I just don’t understand what people are so angry about.

Everything is going as well as it could in a billion strong parliamentary democracy but people are still mad about old wounds.

Not that amazing. In the US, see Christians, white people, and men.
And like every where, if something threatens the perceived superiority of a well established, powerful group that group will do everything to fight. Regardless of religion.
Please do not take HN threads further into religious flamewar hell. Nor nationalistic flamewar hell, please. Those are the last things we need here.
