I don’t know what to say about this, but the ultra-nationalists in India are the one people I fear might one day get triggered and murder millions.

  In the same manner as the Europeans have already done repeatedly in history?

    My statement was on the present and in no way an easy-vs-west value judgement. Everyone knows that the European colonialism and the ongoing neocolonialist story are pure evil.

      A rational person would fear those with a long history of reckless violence a lot more than those with a marked history of non violence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahimsa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahimsa

        This is like a European pointing at the Bible and saying, "see, our holy book preaches non-violence, don't believe the naysayers!" Meanwhile, how many Muslim pogroms have there been in India since independence?

          Islam conquered and ruled India by the sword. Similar to how Europeans conquered many 'western' lands today. Islam and Europe are then quite similar to each other and quite dissimilar from India in their lust to conquer and subjugate and their generous use of violence.

            Are you saying that the historical Islamic conquests of India justify violence against Muslims today?

              No I am saying Hinduism is default peaceful and your 'pogroms against Muslims' narrative is misinformed.
