> Which means every mosque or church that was built on top of a demolished temple stands as a monument to colonization and conquest of a people and a festering wound on the face of the nation. […] > This is decolonization at work. Thanks for illustrating my point so well. Persecuting your own citizens who worship minority religions is not decolonization in any way. These people are your fellow citizens, and what you're defending is simply persecution of religious or ethnic minorities. Hence my point about the dangerous rise of Hindu supremacist, which you're illustrating perfectly.

Reclaiming your own temples, after giving the injured party land to rebuild their mosque, is not persecution in my book. I would argue that building a mosque after demolishing a temple at the place Hindus believe their Lord was born was a deliberate provocation, and the other party refusing to let it go for 500 years was persecution of Hindus and their faith. No other mosque in Ayodhya was touched when this particular mosque was demolished three decades back. If Hindus were truly supremacist, every single one would have been. > minority There are more than 600,000 mosques in India and over 200 million Muslims. They are a second majority.

Mist Hindu aren't, like most white people aren't white supremacists, but Hindu supremacism is a rising trend and that's the problem at stake in this thread. > There are more than 600,000 mosques in India and over 200 million Muslims. They are a second majority. That's 14% of the population (vs 80% for Hindu), it's not a second majority, it's the definition of a minority. For the record, Jews accounted for 10% of the Polish population in 1939…
