- naruvimama 5y agoYour examples are very suspect a lot of Hindu on Hindu atrocities and Hindu on Buddhist atrocities is entirely manufactured. Especially suspect given that they were fighting a Nawab. And that doesn't say much given the long history.
- random314 5y agoOf course, my examples run counter to the "Hindu exceptionalism" idea you have been pushing. Great to see confirmation bias in action. Nawab == Muslim. Hence must be a terrible person. I understand that sentiment, it's practically a religious doctrine amongst Indian right wingers.
