Hatred for "blacks"& natives disappeared in USA 18th to 20th c when its economy took off and was invested in heavily. But he gives the cliche: "Hindu-Muslim" issues upset business interests, that is, profits of a small subset of the people.

But why would "investors" suddenly stop investing if "Hindu-Muslim" issues are really that of a "fringe" group with no traction in society? When have jihad or its heavily state suppressed "Hindu" reaction ever stopped businesses? it didnt in Mumbai '92 or 2008!

If at all, "Muslim-Hindu" violence has been severely localized, restricted to a few towns or cities, and even after the rascalry of city-paralyzing jihadi violence - businesses, especially large businesses linked to FDI, have gone on unhindered.

given reality of scarce "violence",bogey of "Muslim-Hindu" violence hurts business "sentiments" raises two questions: if FDI is withdrawn it indicates either transnational links of such FDI to Islamist interests that tries to leverage FDI as tool of Islamic expansionist interests

or that FDI is not really threatened, but it is used as a bogey to try and make the Hindu the "good Hindu" who quietly allows the strengthening of mullahcracy without protest and by ceasing to be a "Hindu"..
