After reading the discussions on this bowl for some time, there's something I want to share. There's a lot of criticism of Modi, Indian govt, Hindu Nationalism etc here. A lot of it is for good reason.

If like me you get defensive about these, tell yourself that (most) of it isnt anti-India, or hatred for India. It feels that way since our idea of India has become liked to 'Hindu'. Most are anti-Modi precisely because they love India. Just something that helps me think more rationally. Peace.

Cool story. But bakwaas.

Modi a devout Hindu presided over the founding ceremony of a temple is a BIIIIG controversy. But when people like Kejriwal don fake topis and sit down to pray for azaan, that's secularism.

It's not criticism, it's naked and blatant hypocrisy and appeasement

The ultimate irony is - technically, non Muslims are not allowed in mosques

It goes both ways. Firstly ‘most’ are not anti modi in India as he was elected overwhelmingly by a vast majority of the population. He is NOT trump of India as some critics claim. Yes he is a populist, but unlike Trump, he has a massive public mandate to do what he is doing: There is a great NY times article on the subject on why he should not be confused with other populist leaders and critics should educate themselves. This bowl is a symbol of Indians suddenly finding patriotism after crossing the border. It’s the same group that demeans most of our population as ‘cow belt’ or ‘uneducated’ or ‘corrupt’ and are mind numbingly cut off from ground reality. My favorite one is to tag anyone who is not critical of modi as ‘bhakt’. I mean none of these are conversation starters, for all your criticisms you are just blindly labeling people

Having said that, I completely agree with his some of his criticisms when it comes to religion and other policies. But a debate can’t happen without solutions. What is your alternative to Kashmir changes ? It can’t stop at modi is hitler. What was the ideal solution for Ayodhya ? It can’t be status quo and it can’t be Modi is a bigot either. How would you handle terrorism ?

On point. Bring solutions on the table before blaming.

The US is a secular country but everyone gets sworn in on the Bible and all presidents have been Christians who openly practice their faith. There are tens of Muslim countries that persecute non Muslims.
1. Don’t be a hypocrite with India if you don’t carry over the same criticisms to the US or many other similar countries.
2. Be grateful you don’t face the plight of Hindus who live in Muslim countries. Your life is a thousand times better.

I suppose I’m considered an ABCD but I was born in India so I am hoping you fish will be able to understand: lately, I’m really struggling to make conversation with my own dad. It originally started with him telling me I should get married which led to me keeping a distance from him. Throughout my whole life my dad has basically been the one to be the rational voice - telling me to study, to work hard, to go to grad school, and encouraged all those things. Conversations always centered around what I had to do and they were less friend-like. It also doesn’t help that Indian dads don’t take vacation, don’t like to do “fun” things. Are any other fish struggling with this?
