@sonaliranade Here’s a point by point take down to all that’s wrong with your tweets:
1) Since 1920s some Hindus have demanded a Hindu SUPREMACIST nation in which others will be treated like Jews in Nazi Germany. No one has a RIGHT to such a nation.

@sonaliranade 2) Yet your question is pointless since Hindu supremacists have freely exercised the political freedom to demand a Hindu supremacist nation without any hurdles (barring the brief RSS ban). They have used parliamentary space to promote that agenda through hate speech with impunity
@sonaliranade 3) Just as whites don’t enjoy a right to a white supremacist nation, Hindus don’t have any entitlement to a Hindu supremacist nation. Likewise no one has a right to a Buddhist supremacist nation (like Myanmar) or an Islamist supremacist nation (Taliban in Afghanistan).
@sonaliranade 4) Note that while Hindu supremacists have the freedom to fight elections, (& break mosques, kill Muslims) on the demand of a Hindu Nation, Kashmiris are arrested even if they raise a slogan for a Kashmiri nation (which for most is NOT = a Muslim supremacist nation).
@sonaliranade 5) Liberalism as expressed in your tweets pretends an innocence of Hindu supremacist politics, and the power it now enjoys and privilege it has always enjoyed in India. +
@sonaliranade 6) So, 🌰: No, Hindus do not have a right to a “nation of their own” because such a nation requires cleansing it of others, denying others citizenship. No religious community has such a right. Israel formed on such a basis is a violent settler colonial occupier.
@sonaliranade 7) Pakistan’s experience shows how the claim of national unity based on religion papers over all kinds of inequalities & dominations - linguistic supremacy was resisted & Bangladesh was the result.
