How can you explain a 15-20% of population of Pakistan which were Hindu's in 1947 is now being 1.6%. It is not hard to guess who is getting persecuted and exterminated in Pakistan.
You look like one of those semi-confused paki expat who believe in whateva shit dished out by your media.. Let me assure you buddy.. Naxalism is no threat... definitely not as the same scale of Taliban or the way you or your Kamran Khan (of Geo) sounded like... Naxalites can be crushed but our Govt within no time.. but India is democracy, we don't believe in using figher jets or F16s on our own citizens... Maoism !!.. come on, even Chinks have abandoned Mao... Infact India is more communist...
You are right, you don't know. The violence of the far left groups in India is reminiscent of similar groups in Europe a century ago. Sadly, it's not an unusual phenomenon but India needs to be deal with it. However, threats from Naxals do not add up to the dangers of the terrorism emanating from Pakistan; some of which are state sponsored. The groups in Pakistan dream of creating a Caliphate not only in Pakistan but throughout Asia.
The violent far-left groups have only existed for a hundred years or so. The people who believe in a Caliphate have existed for 1,400.
Ever wonder why the region from Morocco to Pakistan is almost entirely Muslim? It was conquered... by people who believed in a... Caliphate, baby!
Whether or not the Naxalite threat is less dangerous that the Pak-based threat, you should try explaining your point-of-view to the loved ones of those 6,000 Indians that were murdered by the Naxalites. Good luck.
I don't care what the people from Morocco to Pakistan believe. It's a moot point.
What's there to explain about the number of people who got killed. More deaths have occured because of auto accidents or floods in that region. So what? Pak based threat affects the West and the East and it's not limited to the number of people killed.
Part of your argument was that left-wing extremist groups aren't much of a concern because they have been around for a long time.
My counter-argument was that the Muslims that have fought for a Caliphate have been in existence even longer. So if Maoist terrorists are nothing to worry about, then Muslim terrorists should not worry you either.
You are bringing religion in the argument and linking it to terrorism. Not me.
Terrorism in any form is dangerous and to be dealt with accordingly. Unlike Muslim terrorist - if I may use your term - the Maoists are not fighting for religion.
Read Seymor Hersh in the New Yorker before writing comments. I brought the caliphate because, to everyone's dismay, that is what the groups in Pakistan are planning. In fact many did not know it means in the first place.
India is not an Islamophobe. Every country is worried about Isamic extremism, including the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. I believe people like you should stop acting as a victim at the drope of a hat.
By the way, you have proved my point. Indians are afraid of Muslim terrorists -- not because they are terrorists -- but because they are Muslim. That is Islamophobia, the fear of Islam. It is a form of religious bigotry. You are not afraid of Naxalites... because they aren't Muslim... even though both types of terrorist organizations slaughter innocent people. Are you against people being slaughtered? Or are you against Islam?
I think you're comments are delusional. If you read the news and hear the debates, India is using multi-pronged strategy to deal with Maoists who are in the deep rural parts of that country. If danger from Maoism is real so is that from the Taliban styled groups. Where does the question of Islamophobia even arise? I'd argue terrorism is not linked to a community but your comments show the complex that your wrongly have.
WTF, are you writing about?! Hasn't the US helped Pakistan with civilian aid in difficult times? India did not attack the Taliban style groups after Mumbai attacks but expected cooperation from Pakistan instead.
Like I say, All muslims are not terrorists but all terrorists are muslims. No one is afraid of terrorists because they dont have any religion. Maoists are tiny speck in ocean of 1 billion people which is a natural thing. Could you imagine the problem faced by a successful democracy of 1 billion people of every religion on earth ? I bet a person living in nation of 0.03 billion will ever know ! lol
If you are against terrorism, then you will oppose both Muslim terrorists and Maoist terrorists. But if you are afraid of Islam, then you will only oppose Muslim terrorists.
I hope you will oppose terrorism in all its forms.
Sir, I would like to invite you to convert to Islam. It is the perfect religion -- the only religion that will be accepted by Allah on the Day of Judgment.
Muslims were no match to Barbars and Carthage of North Africa who were descendents of Romans and Greeks. They converted them through marriage of daughters of Abbasid kings with kings. Apart from it Muslim code of war is not the code of war which was followed by world for 3000 years. They back-stabbed and attacked again even after being defeated in war. And beta dont worry about India look what your Arab prechers do on beaches of Tunisia..
All those Khilafa's will return to Big daddy of all religions - Hinduism. Abrahamic religions are offshoots of Zoroastrianism which itself is an religionsimilar to Sanatan Dharma.
Do you have ANY idea about the number people killed in Kashmir, Punjab and numerous other bomb blasts in other parts of India thanks to Pakistan sponsored terrorism?
You display the classic Islamist cognitive dissonance, where the solution to all problems is to point your fingers at others.
Naxals are a problem because economic benefits have not reached the poorest sections of the Indian society; and because unlike Pakistan Army, Indian forces do not bomb their own citizens to shut them up.
You are right. Pak-based terrorism has killed scores of innocent people. And that is a tragedy. What is also tragic are the murders of innocent Kashmiris at the hands of the Indian security forces. Indian state-sponsored terrorism in Kashmir is just as heinous as the Mumbai blasts of last year.
You accuse me of pointing fingers... but it is you who is pointing fingers at Pakistan. You have are the one who is refusing to acknowledge the fact that Indian colonialism in Kashmir leads to terrorism in India. And what about your own cognitive dissonance?
You are trying to justify the murder of innocent Indians (at the hands of the Naxalites) by talking about the lack of economic benefits. Would you also try to justify "Islamist" terrorism by talking about the murders and rapes of Kashmiris at the hands of Indian army?
I hope you will one day realize that nothing justifies the murder of innocents -- not murder, not rapes, and certainly not the lack of "economic benefits." Terrorism is wrong... period. The sooner you people recognize this, the better it will be for regional and world peace.
Pls. note that it is Pakisthan that is imploding not India. Nonetheless, thanks for your concern about India and Naxalites. I am sure it is genuine.
Secondly, your play of the "Muslim" card is simply desparate. Regardless, there are far greater number of muslims in India than Pakistan and they are proud to be Indian.
Lastly, India it is capable of tackling its problems, including ones generated by rogue countries. I wonder if the same can be said for Pakistan.
India is unable to tackle the problem of homegrown terrorism (such as the Naxalite insurgency). There have been more than 800 deaths in India just this year due to Naxalite terrorism.
And India is unable to tackle the problem of Pak-based terrorism. Hafeez Saeed (for the time being) is still free. Still preaching. Still plotting. And the LeT infrastructure still exists.
If India were capable of solving its own problems, it wouldn't be begging the United States for help vis-a-vis Pakistan
@swinginjazzz Firstly, thank you for your concern for problems facing India. I am sure it is genuine. Secondly, Pakistan is United State's b*t*h, which it f**ks and du*ps, as and when it pleases. Then, again you have gotten so used to it that it hardly bothers you.
A puki begger ranting !! he he he. 6000 people in 40 years is nothing compared to 20 million persecuted in Mao revolution by China. It has not displaced half million hindu's from the place where they have been living for 5000 years which is 3500 years before first muslim was born on earth. Load of rubbish here m8. You attempt to speak American English is as pathetic as your nation..lol
