A recurring theme in Islamists is intense desire to strip& gangrape captured non-Muslim women/children publicly, or march/display women naked in public. Nathan boasts this after defeat of Pratapaditya of Jashor by scum Mughals, in 1947 India, 1971 E.Pak, 2014 Shinjar Yezidis.
This was reported in travelogues in Muslim N. Africa, with some photos of keeping young girl "slave" topless while serving her elderly master& stray references in certain schools of Islamist "law-texts" of making it clear that "slave" women can be kept naked in public or private.
There are reports and allegations from Baloch sources of women being arrested/abducted by Pak police/army and kept or displayed naked in cells/prisons or quarters of the jihadi officers and functionaries. This was reported also widely during 1971 war in E. Pak.
Something in that cult drives a mob to have ultimate satisfaction in not simply hving sex, but a dehumanization& humiliation of the women of the non-Muslim. Perhaps sustained by Islamic historical memory of enjoying such practices under theologian's sanctions removing any guilt.
My omissions of reports of same tendency in Islamists in other places is unintended, its reported not just for mullah-mobs of direct action in 1947, but also in '46, or '48 in Jammu and Kashmir, and so on. It just repeats so persistently as a pattern - that it simply sticks.

@AngryIn28145659 It’s not just defeat in a battle: Harold tackled two other attempts. levy system of Huscarles worked from among gen popn. Pt Mitra and others insinuate is that the Indian popn vastly outnumbered the invaders yet got defeated: same remains true for Anglo-Saxon or Breton Britain.
@AngryIn28145659 Indians have fared better than the British whose cultures got periodically overrun and the prior wiped out (if not genetically although significant invader “seeding” evident). That traditions and “diversity” survive to this day for Indians is proof of physical resistance.
@AngryIn28145659 What successive invaders failed to achieve in India due to remnant pockets of “native” political and military independence is only now beginning to unravel due to modern states ability to disarm& selectively target the elements of the Hindu that defied state forms and thus resist
I have long insisted on looking at astronomical, geological roots of many core narratives of the "Hindu": but I hv avoided publicizing this for a serious reason. For most touting "science", it is a replacement totalitarianism for another totalitarian belief that has failed them
For those for whom "science" is the new religion, the limitations and statutory warnings openly embedded into the "scientific" process - are either invisible or not understood. Incomplete understanding of "science" makes for quick theological style sweeping dogmatic declarations.
Reducing "Hinduism' to positional astronomy or geology, at the hands of quacks is dangerous because while it destroys, it builds nothing - and it fails to understand a critical process in creation and evolution of culture.
In spite of showing a horribly edited soap of a dysfunctional high-cost no-value-adding family: there are curious confirmations of all that is wrong with the British as a society, state and institution. Meghan is no Diana, and yet, royals will find her more difficult to put down.
Meghan has the advantage of going through the 24 years since Diana, which has seen unprecedented sharpening of the tools and tactics of grievance politics& its amusing to see her ticking all the politically correct tropes: race, gender, institutional bias and discrimination.
Harry&Meghan's whine about having to repress "personal emotions/state of mind" and pose smilingly to play public roles is spoiled brat whine: millions of people perform for "show must go on", from teachers&performing artists to public officials regardless of any "state of mind".
1)While UKSC's scolding a lower court that "democratically accountable" functionary's assessments on country's security can't be flipped, may create a difficulty for courts in countries that cite foreign rulings -Katju sahab's scolding by a UK court is a particularly tricky sitn.
2) on the face of it, the UK court has come out solidly behind the Indian SC. But it has also bashed an Indian SC ex-judge and shown no hesitation to publicly point out that his arguments are hypocritical and driven by latent political/ideological agenda.
3) This is something unimaginable in India, even at the hands of the only authority allowed to criticize a judge - that is a higher court/SC. Where perhaps, rightly or wrongly, any such admonishment wd be strictly in-camera for fear it would tarnish the "image" of judiciary.
Absolutely! While Hitler& Stalin has to be criticized heavily for their attitudes towards Untermenschen, they cannot be solely blamed for 9+ and 5+ million deaths respectively directly as a consequence of their orders. It was a culmination of n number of major factors.
Apparently in spite of this "huge loss of Burmese rice", as the famine got worse, 70,000 tons of rice were exported from India between January and July, 1943.
Famine not frm drought (which was in early-1940) as rainfall was above average in late-1943, considered to be the peak of the famine. The army+police systematically destroyed crops and grain stores of peasants deemed rebellious in the 1942 movement.
Both US and UK media constructs and uses distinct geographical identity as "race" to either "other" or dissolve in a single block as per political or ideological needs. Here BBC forgets or absorbs Jamaica also in Asia because its as convenient as hiding Pakistan in "South Asia".
Rascality of media's language construction itself shows up in how they never ever use "British/French-American" or any of the western European as prefix to American, but "Irish/Italian/Hispanic/Asian" freely -implying the false narrative that somehow "west Europeans" are natives.
What is insidious in Harris's construction as "Asian-American" is that it is culturally too diverse to be meaningful as an identity, and ignoring Harris's own distance from the cultures of "Asia" and proximity to US -implying a "racial other" who needs an additional qualifier..
