That is why we just had one of the worst Islamic terrorist attacks in Indian history just now, and the government does nothing. Madrassa after madrassa opens up in the country side indoctrinating Muslims into advocating discrimination, violence and genocide of Hindus and Jews, and the government actively encourages it. Frankly you Hindu haters have started picking up conspiracy theories and racism from Neo-nazi and radical Islamist groups. Attributing unprovable and fantastic conspiracies is precisely what the Nazis did to Jews. 1) Hindus are oppressed in their own land

Hindus ARE oppressed in their own land, see:

They are systematically drilling beliefs like 1) Hindus are oppressed in their own land 2) Minorities are being appeased at expense of Hindus 3) Hindus are denied justice As a result, I see escalation of religious fights never seen before. I never heard of hindu-christian roits when I grew up in India. This hate propaganda is courtesy Sang parivar. Their propaganda machinery is well oiled and functioning. Their propaganda justifies every crime committed against Indian minorities. Why did gujarat killing take place? Because hindus were burnt in train. Why were Christians attacked in Orissa? Because swami was killed by christian. Sonal Shah was active member of this group. She appears to wear a double face.

This is just another racist propaganda attempt by the far-left Forum of "Indian" (Pakistani) Leftists (formerly the Forum for "Inquilabi" ie JIHADIST Leftists), a Pakistani-ISI sponsored hate group that sports such charming personalities like American Neo-Nazi Wendy Campbell, Hezbollah al-Manar conspiracy theorists and Pakistani Islamists under leftist garb. FOIL is a virulently racist anti-India and antisemitic hate group that spreads libels about successful Indian American minorities in order to encourage racial discrimination against them. This is the same group that spreads antisemitic blood libels that "Jews were behind 9/11" and that the recent Mumbai attacks were "orchestrated by 'Hindu Zionists'", whatever the hell THAT means.
