I don't agree with any of the posters in this thread advocating that India become a Hindu state. But your viewpoint is also troubling for me. Do you not think there is an undercurrent of theocracy in Islam? Do you think that there is nothing wrong with the countries in that list? India is still far more diverse, liberal, accepting than any of those countries. You can't simultaneously think that India is horrible for minorities but these muslim majority countries are not.

Of course Islamic countries can be fairly theocratic. India was liberal pre-2014. Now all parties feel compelled to sport some form of Hindutva-lite. But you are fooling yourself if you think India is liberal or secular today. How many Muslim majority countries will you find where lynching is commonplace and a terror accused is specially picked as a candidate, because the act of terror was a blast in a mosque. Outside Israel, Saudi Arabia, Russia this will be a hard sell. The concerns around Modi or Erdogan is the change from a secular state to a. theocratic state.

  Stoning to death is pretty common in Islamic countries. You actually believe life in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria or Iraq is safer? India is always meant to be a Hindu state. The word secular was introduced by Indira Gandhi in her brief dictatorship. Only 3 European countries do not have a state religion. All 56 or so Muslim majority countries clearly back a specific denomination. Recently you have had a rally of 5 million Sunnis calling for the death Shias in Pakistan. Stop making the false claim that India is dangerous for Muslims, it is the Muslims who are dangerous for India as you would never know when they are going to stab you in the back. We have seen this many times over since independence, 2.4 million Hindus killed in Bangladesh in 1971. Half a million Kashmiri Hindus ethnically cleansed from their ancestorsal homeland.

    You have been spouting easily refuted fake news all over this thread. I am not going to fall into the trap of refuting false statement you make. Only 3 European countries lack a state religion! Great going! The number of muslim kashmiris killed by state forces is several orders of magnitude higher than the Hindus killed - a couple of hundred in 1989-90. I will stop here, because you will simply respond with a barrage of lies.

      You are just a brainwashed islamist cherry picking facts. Pakistan exports terrorism to Afghanistan, Iran and India. Security forces kill terrorists. Ethnic cleansing is about driving out people. Bangladesh claims the 2.4 million Hindus killed. You do not need a research report to prove the ethnic cleansing I Islamic dominated regiins, Pakistan as well as Kashmir has 99% muslim population. Please explain.
