I looked at the comments by green accounts, and most are actually anti Indian government, rather than pro Indian government.

So Hindu and Christian marriage bills having different divorce timelines is the same as keeping Muslim women at the mercy of Muslim men where they can text a divorce? What kind of sick propaganda are you peddling in this whole thread? Can you name one civilised society where triple talaq and polygamy exclusively for men exists? It’s unfortunate that we can’t agree on this just because of our political leanings.

India. The Indian approach to multicultural laws has its own merits, which I have seen lauded in German law journals. Indian divorce laws were moved forward for a few communities at a time - till at one day the courts said "The laws are such for Hindus, Muslims and for Parsees. The fact that they have not been reflected in Christian practices is also incorrect so we hereby update the Christian divorce code" Over the…

Sure, so what is your point exactly? That local customs trump women’s right to be treated as humans? Really, please look into the practices and then tell me you could ever want that for another person. By that logic Hindus should still encourage/force widows to burn at the pyre with their dead husbands.

It was truly disgusting to see the entire left lobby, the self proclaimed champions for human rights shamelessly protesting the repeal of triple talaq.

Almost all India threads that mention the Indian government and the ruling BJP have supporters jumping in to support their party. I assume this happens a little more when the parties are extreme right/left wing. They arrive via whatsapp groups asking members for support and a link. Soon enough the targeted sites end up being downvote/upvote bot parties unless there is strong moderation. The media in India is muzzled…

You're saying that people are creating brand new HN accounts to support the Indian government? I don't see that. I looked at all the comments by green accounts in this thread: Pro Indian government: 1 comment, 1 account Anti Indian government: 8 comments, 4 accounts Unknown: 2 comments, 1 account

You won't get a reply. For presenting any evidence like that on /r/india you would be promptly get banned. These guys ruined /r/india it's now full of anti modi bhajan 24/7. The only reason I still stick with reddit is because of some technical subs like /r/programming. Now these people aren't leaving even hacker news.

I flagged this post and many others related to India since it seems to attract the level of discourse which doesn't really belong in HN. There's a camps of extremely pro and anti government views that both twist facts to suit their agenda.

Again you are parroting the same national agenda of the current Indian government of a Hindu state and Hindu way of living forcibly forced on every community in India. Recent example of local government passing laws to support groups and Organization who kill people who eat beef, another example of people of different religion marrying needs approval from state government (calling it law against love jihad). Not sure…

Beef consumption has been forbidden in most Indian states since independence and supported by all political parties. It’s a state issue. The Central government cannot legislate on the subject, it’s on the state list of subjects. You are criticizing the central government for a law a bunch of state governments passed decades ago!! There is a Hindu Marriage Act and other religious marriage acts. The difference is all b…

>>Beef consumption has been forbidden in most Indian states since independence and supported by all political parties.

Only 'Productive Cow(milk yielding)' slaughter was forbidden until recently. Karnataka(Ruled by same party as the center) recently banned all bovine slaughter. Farmers now say they will happily pass on the expenses to take care of unproductive cattle(calves, bulls and older bovines) to consumers in the form of higher priced milk.

Regarding the remaining thing. As a Married Indian muslim who has registered their marriage. All Indian muslims go under special marriage act whose provisions are way way more stricter than the Hindu marriage act. They even send out your application to the local mosques in Bangalore to check if this is a genuine alliance or if the couples have eloped and parents have objections to file. The time given is 45 days. All the best registering a marriage between a Muslim and Hindus.

>>It may forbid triple talaq but other provisions like custody and alimony still apply.

Literally negligible follow triple talaq in Muslim community. In my entire biological and parents biological existence and our entire network of friends and family we don't of a single case of divorce happening this way.

Things like 498a and DV laws apply to all Indian citizens as they are criminal laws.

The reason why people protested against 3T is because even a random stranger could accuse a Muslim man of 3T and the criminal proceedings begin, with arrest and imprisonment of the Muslim man. tl;dr a law created to reign in strong men who wouldn't bow to your political/religious harassment.

>>Protests, crazy ones just like for the CAA.

It's quite a telling about you when you say refusal to walk into concentration camps as crazy.

Consumption of dogs is banned in the US. Dogs are a delicacy in a number of places. Quite different from discriminating by gender and treating one gender in a marriage as chattel I would think.

It is banned but did not permit anyone to kill other people without impunity on suspicion of having dog meat in refrigerator. So may be please get facts right before arguing.

So killing without impunity is provided by which law exactly?

> The BJP is slowly reversing this and creating a situation where people are treated as Indians. Lol as much as strength you had in your post, this one fallacy has uncovered that you are a Modi Bhakat. BJP, RSS, Hindu Extremist's definition of Indian is, You are Indian as long as you vote & support them, otherwise Go To Pakistan, Tukre Tukre, Khalistani. Same religious flag is allowed & ebcouraged by Army when Sikh R…

Quoted post unavailable.

People have a religion. And most of the times their religion is not the same as yours.

Get used to this fact.

Make sure you have dead comments visible.

Even if those true doesn't permit anyone to trespass RedFort and do as per their will.

Yes, agreed, & thats why 100s of Sikhs are now in Jails around Red Fort, without any access to Lawyer or Phone Calls. But Modi Bhakats are tweeting all the way Missing Indira Mummy. They also want to burn Sikhs just like any power hungry party, be it 1984 like Congress, 2002 like Godhra.

Modi bhakts would be on the side of sikhs surely. Sikh community is the reason Hinduism survives in large parts of India. The people you are calling “sikhs” were throwing policemen off heights. Do they get to kill without impunity? What are you defending here exactly?

Just don’t bother trying to understand Indian politics, especially if are living outside the country. It is a mess beyond any understanding and just a waste of time.

I was about to write a lengthy rant on why others must read it, but then realised yes, there is no point. Majority of people who support BJP, are much more in propaganda than trump supporters. They're past denial, they literally build up stories of master strokes, tho all of them were mega failures. We have a PM who is afraid of press conferences, who only speaks on his own air time. Never takes questions. I sometimes watch the comments under news channel sites they're a cesspool of hatred.
