Per Haugen logic, Taslima Nasreen is an anti-Muslim incendiary poster, right wing Hindu nationalist. FB agrees and bans her. Or Ms Haugen, ur just angry that jihadi atrocities on Hindus get exposed? Is ur campaign not responsible for what happened to Hindus in Bangaldesh?
what is interesting is that Haugen actually apparently includes "pushing" centre-left to extreme left besides centre-right to extreme right: but I am seeing media only reports the right-wing bit, pretends she didnt do monkey balance on the left-extreme too.
Haugen is oblivious of any "anti-Hindu" "incendiary" posts - unbelievably, if she or her team could not read Urdu but only read Hindi, or only knew "English". Or simply they saw but chose not to mention it as it wdnt be politically correct or aligned to her politics.
People should become aware of these political ideological campaigns that have constructed the European racism directed at Muslims as a global phenomena behind which jihadi atrocities hide shamelessly in Islam majority countries like Pak or Bangladesh.
What Haugen is doing, is campaigning to provide blanket immunity from exposure and criticism and global disgust at jihadi acts on their targets. Haugen and her fellow travellers can't escape their responsibility for the horrors perpetrated on Hindus in Bangladesh.

1) So he admits that there can be absolute lack of trust in the police and judiciary. But that’s probably the reality for the absolute majority of people, who don’t have the resources of a company to buy Narimanian super advocacy or whatever is demanded at the police station.
2) judicial activism within the court itself is lethal for a country as it seeks to bypass the legitimisation process of representative democracy. But open political/ideological commitments in public discourse by one who is still a sitting judge is a brazen challenge to people.
3) judiciary, elected representatives, crucially, the common citizen must think: one who hides behind state coercive protection of total immunity from criticism and is completely unanswerable to the ppl, is using his position to air political assumptions without placing evidence.
1) What follows in this thread will sting everyone across parties, ideologies, sects, "spiritual paths" in some way: but stinging is not the intention. I have suffered socially for not being able to stop plain-speaking and what I see clearly. This is just plain-speaking.
2) The best way to understand whats going on in BD on Hindus is to grasp the peculiarities of Hindu society as it evolved through the last two invasions. A portion of power seeking Hindus converted, another portion didnt convert, but collaborated. This is the more fatal part.
3) The collaborator "elite" Hindu, had and will always feel threatened by the common Hindu's numbers - and as in every other elite wd seek to differentiate their rites/rituals as somehow superior to that of the commons they fear.
1) My sensibility stops me from bashing her in time of mourning. Madhav however is not in ashaucha. No statesman shd hv folded hands to what she is saying. And any who does fold hands, is fatal for the nation. Here is why:
2) whatever strand of Hindu one might follow, one way or the other the “spirit” indeed is deemed “na hanyate hanyamane sharire”. But that is not an escape route for as long as human reproduction continues, wherever you lie on the “atheist-theist” spectrum, you hv to accept life.
3) whether it is your theist belief of a purpose for which you had to take birth, or atheist belief of accident, a living society is one which holds on to your unique individual characteristics, through memory and continuity - which in turn grow out of your living and life.
A bemused take on the place-identity link to claims of social status. Sometimes its a compensation of a hidden sense of inferiority. This manifests in Islamic attempt at erasing pre-Islamic cultures they raided by renaming their places outsideonline.com/culture/essays…
But the sense of inherent inferiority complex becomes obvious in Islamic attempt at denying that the places they raided had a distinct geography and place-linked culture and tried to impose their "home-place" identity by name alone or by destroying pre-existing cultural symbols.
It showed that they actually found their festishized "home-place" inferior in things that they desired, so that they didnt return to that cherished superior home-place rather occupied the territories they feigned to look down upon. To compensate, home-place had to be eulogised.
@abhivaarta@Aban__Ind@bidesh_desh@From_Himalaya What is really the issue here? will everyone be happy if its said, no no all mollahs in Bengal are converted indigenous Bong Hindus or Bong Buddhists and a proof of how bad Bong hindus are? Muslim "migration into Bengal" was a hot topic in Pakistanyat campaign days.
@abhivaarta@Aban__Ind@bidesh_desh@From_Himalaya Migration will be as difficult to "give source material" on, just as even the so-called contemporary Mughlai censuses have not been handed down in their "sources", and summaries still led to at least 4 different estimates of population numbers, forget demographic details.
@abhivaarta@Aban__Ind@bidesh_desh@From_Himalaya The few studies primarily agree that it was scum Mughlai consolidation in Bengal that coincides with relatively rapid growth in Muslim mumbers in Bengal, but even then after scum Brit advent, the early Brit censuses don't show mullah majority.
