I'm sure it isn't your intent to do that, but we have to go by effects, not intent, and that is the effect that posts like this tend to have (and are having, in the current case). You've posted more than 30 comments in this thread, in the "ideological battle" style that the HN guidelines ask you to avoid here*. It's far from the curious, respectful conversation that this site is supposed to be for.
Also, it's important to edit out swipes like "I can see you are determined to dimiss [etc.]", "Your beliefs have nothing to do with facts [etc.]", and so on. Your posts have included a great many of those, and that's definitely against the site guidelines.
If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
(* not that a religion is exactly an ideology but that guideline applies to both)
Inherently? Nothing... but if I cite a far-left source to support something I'm arguing you will, justifiably, scoff at it. Heavily partisan sources are rarely reputable by themselves.
> I can see that you are determined to dismiss anything that would criticize the destruction of a non Abrahamic polytheistic faith that is older than all of the civilizations that exist today.
I simply have a hard time believing a 90% Hindu state in an India run by a Hindu nationalist government intends to do such a thing. Your lack of reputable sources certainly doesn't shake that belief.
You haven’t offered one single citation of any feather..never mind wing. Except your ‘belief’ which doesn’t have much worth except to you.
Your beliefs have nothing to do with facts.
FACT: India is not a ‘90% Hindu state’.
FACT: India is not run by a ‘Hindu nationalist government’.
(Define ‘nationalist’)
That's correct; I cannot prove a negative. You're making assertions that something is happening; you should support them. Your evidence for your positive assertions has been drastically lacking.
> FACT: India is not a ‘90% Hindu state’.
The state in question, as you felt was important to note ("Modi’s BJP govt is central govt. This is happening in Tamil Nadu."), is Tamil Nadu; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamil_Nadu#Religion_and_ethnic... cites it as 87.6% Hindu in 2011.
> FACT: India is not run by a ‘Hindu nationalist government’.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bharatiya_Janata_Party is widely enough considered Hindu nationalist as to get "Its policies adhere to Hindutva, a Hindu nationalist ideology" in the Wikipedia article on it.
