If Muslims are not persecuted in similar ways why not open the refugee status to such cases if they may arise? Why bar them on basis of religion?

- sbmthakur 7y agoHow can Muslims be religiously persecuted in countries with Islam as their state religion? Note that the amendment only deals with only religious persecution. Other forms of persecution, which could be sectarian, linguistic, ethnic, political etc. are not covered by the amendment.
- mlnj 7y agoIf a Muslim wishes to reject the teachings of Islam and live a life free of Islam, how would India help them? Ex-Muslims are murdered all the time in Islamic countries. The persecution is religious and the person is of a Muslim origin. Go on.
- sbmthakur 7y ago> If a Muslim wishes to reject the teachings of Islam and live a life free of Islam, Interesting scenario. Doesn't that make the person an atheist? The constitution of India doesn't recognize them, unfortunately. I would push for their inclusion once the constitution recognizes atheism.
- thewhitetulip 7y agoConstitution recognises Hindu religion. Hindu religion recognises atheism (Nastik). Null and void
- sbmthakur 7y agoThat's a popularly held belief but it's not exactly true. https://www.quora.com/Can-you-be-an-atheist-while-being-a-Hindu/answer/Rami-Sivan https://www.quora.com/Can-you-be-an-atheist-while-being-a-Hi...
- thewhitetulip 7y agoQuora? Seriously? I've read scriptures which say being a Nastik is a part of being Hindu. How many scriptures have you read? Bhagwad Gita? Ved? Ramayan? Mahabharat? Gita itself doesn't have the word Hindu in it. Hindu word was created by Arabs and it is a short of Al-Hind, i.e. those living beyond River Hind aka Indus. Again, null and void
- yumraj 7y agoBecause India was partioned in 1947 on religious basis. Pak and Bangladesh, which are Islamic countries, can take care of Islamic refugees.
- mlnj 7y agoWhy does India have to do anything at all? There are other countries ready to help people of all religions, Christian, Hindu, Muslim alike.
- thewhitetulip 7y agoIf India was "Partitioned on religious basis", why do you think India is not a Hindu Rashtra since 1947? Partition was unfortunate, but the constitution says that India is a secular socialist Republic, so your point is null and void
