What kind of secularism is this?

Bangalore guy beaten up by 5 people because he was playing Hanuman Chalisa in his shop and these guys felt disrespected as the azaan was also being played in mosque at that time. What kind of secular culture is this? Is there some specific rule that you can't play anything else while the azaan is going on? And for one instance, I will go ahead and say, maybe they may have felt disrespected, they could have asked him to reduce the voice nicely. How did it reach to violence? Can't a man peacefully listen to something in his own property?

Reverse the religions and this wouldn't have even made it to news

Forget religion reversal. Firstly Hindus need to be saved from fellow Hindus. Remember the incident in Pune during Ganesh Utsav last year where a young boy was beaten up (to death) along with his family members when they asked the DJ to lower the volume. Religious fanaticism in this country is beyond repair.

Just 1 Google search of "Muslim Mob India" would prove your statement to be completely false.

Why would a Hindu attack another Hindu for playing the Hanuman Chalisa? Out of the 3 arrested, 2 were Hindus. It seems like there's another underlying issue.

Suleman, Shehnavaz and Dyanish don't seem like Hindus to me. Also, converted people don't change their registered names very often.

Suleman, Shahnavaz, Rohith, Dyanish, and Taruna - 3 out of 5 are converted people. 😂 So, how did you identify them? Did you peek inside their underwear?

Just curious. Can you share the news article? Where you read this?

And who said we are even secular? We aren't atleast not since 2014.

Religious hatred and bigotry is on the rise. And such acts of hatred just fuels more hatred in future and starts a never ending cycle.

As much as I want to stop it, we can't unless we unite people with a common goal, make them realise that co-existence is the path to progress.

But unfortunately, people are so fueled by religious hatred that they cannot think of anything else

Hard to make peace when the core tenet of a religion is ending all "non-believers" and taking over civilisation

The sad part is, religion actually isn't that insecure as a concept to be doing this. But it's the people with deep seated insecurities and they find religion as a tool to action on their insecurities and hatred to make themselves relevant

Never had fun from it brother. Even that was wrong. Just take one opinion from my side: "Never laugh on this religion matter. Why? Because this is an actual problem in our country. Why do you think all the uncles and aunties discuss this topic on a daily basis...because they have now experienced this at another level and I am talking here from all the religion's perspective. Maybe it seems to you that this is some stupid propaganda but time will tell my brother. Try coming out of this unicorn fairyland and accept the reality."

Take a look at what the ex-Muslims movement have been screaming for years - they've been a part of this system and are literally risking their lives to bring the truth to us. If the demographics were to change significantly, ALL non-Muslims here in India will be facing exactly what Nigerian non-Muslims are facing right now with Boko Haram as their demographics have changed.

For your own sake, try to understand what happened in Iran to non-Muslims during the Islamic Revolution - how did it become an Islamic Republic? What happened to Hindus in Bangladesh before and during 1971? What happened to non-Muslims in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Kashmir?

Read up on what a "Dhimmi" is and what a "Kafir" to understand what they truly think about us. You're not specially protected. No non-Muslim is specially protected. You'll be subject to the same rules and the same mob chants heard in all the above places - "Convert, Run or Die".

Why go to Iran and Nigeria?.. all that you say happened in Kashmir.
Look at Bengal and north Kerala. I hear it's very peaceful these days.

Yes. But Iran and Nigeria are good examples as they had seculars too that suppored Islam. But Iran doesn't have them openly speaking against Islam now without consequences. Nigeria is slowly moving in the same direction.

Where did BJP come in it? Is every aspect of your life leading to BJP? Come out of politics brother. I am talking about the deep rooted religious differences in our country and the fake show of secularism.

Secularism is a majority's burden to prove, not minority's.

Also, since these people were local I'm sure this was not an isolated incident, it must have some background that we don't know of.

Secularism? More like selective secularism. The 'offended' should've used their ears for dialogue, not fists for violence.

Secularism is about mutual respect, not about silencing one voice for another. Violence is never the answer. How can we promote tolerance better?
