I don't think government IT cell people are lurking here. I believe the sickening comments are coming from real people who have fallen for Hindutva propaganda. It is sad that a section of educated Indian has such regressive views.


>>It is sad that a section of educated Indian has such regressive views.

India has a very broken socio-political ecosystem. Deeply broken on religious/linguistic/caste and other affiliations. The problems compound with the shortage of resources. Every group feels they deserve to have access to resources more than others.

Plus the contemporary politics is dominated by historical revisionism, guilt, inferiority complex and feelings of exacting retribution. This is not just with religion but even things like languages and caste too.

The fact that economy got this far after 1990s is largely also due to lack of real competition(Post cold war most India's competitors were still recovering).

My guess is things will be hard for India from here on. Its really a country with a horse carriages attempting to win a F1 race.
