India isn’t run by Canadian “rule of law” where Nazis are honored in the parliament and terrorists are sheltered. India has its own laws and own constitution and they are not beholden to Canadian, or for that matter Western, whims.

Precisely. Most Hindus aren't even able to discriminate between comedy and #Hinduphobia . This paper by Prof. Jeffery Long provides an academic framework for recognizing Hinduphobic discourse.

@hesivh @authoramish @sardesairajdeep Prof. Meenakshi Jain’s monumental book on Sati is a good starting point. It states that a narrative of sati was cooked up by British Christian missionaries to demonise Indian civilisation and justify colonial rule in India.

What’s worse, they are creating an inhospitable environment for Indians in general and Hindus in particular in foreign lands by their biased and bigoted writing. For example, hate crimes are rising against Hindus in the US.

Why hate crimes are rising against Hindus in the US

India's 'cow vigilantism' is much highlighted in US media. The other side of this story has been completely ignored in this process.

@BloombergTV Dear @BloombergTV @business - there is no country named South Asia. It is India, that is Bharat.

Indian-Americans Must Resist South Asian Identity

South Asia did not enter the Western lexicon until the 1940s and brought with it the notion of belonging to a borderless larger geographical entity. Could this be the erasure of a culture?

Even the the tiniest minorities like Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains, Zoroastrians, Parsis, Jews have never complained about intolerance in India. Only groups to have complained of intolerance are the leftists & the Jihadis who themselves have a history of intolerance all over the world.
