I'm now getting used to seeing multiple daily videos of Muslims getting beaten by mobs and the whole act being recorded and broadcasted. No end in sight :houllier:

“Jihadi terrorism” is the only form of “fundamentalist-religious terrorism”, and Communist regimes in the erstwhile Soviet Union and China were the “predominant state-sponsors of terrorism” that influenced “radical Islamic states”.

These are some of the key assertions in a new course on counter-terrorism for engineering students pursuing a dual degree programme at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).

The story for the dosa one is even worse than the headline. From the article:

In a video that emerged on social media, some men can be seen purportedly heckling the dosa-seller. The accused can be heard purportedly telling Irfan that “Hindus will come to eat”, as the stall is named Shrinath.

can't eat beef, can't sell beef. can't sell dosas as well now?
The lawmakers are hypocrites.

Indian beef exports were valued at $3.17 billion in 2020-21 compared with $3.2 billion in 2012-13, according to trade data published by the department of commerce.23 Jun 2021.

Fourth highest beef exporters in the world.

Delhi Riots will be remembered in history for failure of Delhi Police to conduct proper investigation: Delhi Court

Additional Sessions Judge in Karkardooma District Courts, Vinod Yadav said that the worst communal riots in the history of Delhi since partition, will be remembered for the failure of the Delhi Police to conduct proper investigation employing latest scientific methods."I am not able to restrain myself from observing that when history will look back at the worst communal riots since partition in Delhi, it is the failure of investigating agency to conduct proper investigation by using latest scientific methods, will surely torment the sentinels of democracy," the judge said.

He further stated that a large number of accused persons have been languishing in jail for the last about 1.5 years merely on account of the fact that the trial in their cases are not being initiated since police is busy in filing supplementary chargesheets in such cases. The observations were made in an order passed by the Court discharging three accused in the riots, Shah Alam, Rashid Saifi and Shadab who stood accused of rioting, unlawful assembly and theft.

The Court while discharging the accused said that no real/effective investigation in the matter was carried out in the case and there was lack of supervision by superior officers. "The sort of investigation conducted in the instant case and the lack of supervision thereof by the superior officers clearly depicts that the investigating agency has merely tried to pull the wool over the Court’s eyes and nothing else. I cannot restrain myself from observing that this case is a colossal wastage of the hard earned money of tax-payers, without there being real intent of investigating the matter," he added.

The Court highlighted how besides the three accused, the investigation had not led to the identification of any other accused from a mob of 150-200 people. "This speaks volumes about the efforts put in by it in this regard.It is really painful to note that the supervising officers have miserably failed to supervise the investigation in the matter."

The case, the Court opined was based on the statement of police constable Gyan Singh. It was Gyan Singh's testimony which suddenly led to action by the police. The Court further said that as a diligent police official, it was the duty of constable Gyan Singh to have immediately reported the matter to police station which he never did. Instead he never bothered to himself report about the incident/accused persons at police station and it was only during the course of recording of his statement under Section 161 Cr.PC by the IO on March 3, 2020, that for the first time Gyan Singh inculpated the accused persons in the instant matter. This silence and delay on the part of constable Gyan Singh is not only fatal to the case of investigating agency, but it also gives an impression that he has been “planted/ introduced” to solve the case in hand, the Court made it clear.

It is true but I doubt this is political, disputes between channels and cable/DTH operators happen frequently in India.
Can't comment on this case, but I remember star sports being taken off some operators about a decade ago and me struggling to watch football.

I remember Ten Sports suddenly vanishing back in the day and me missing out on Hell In A Cell. I was livid.

Does anyone think that what happened in 1975 is going to happen eventually?

No, citizens rising up in considerable numbers and to get the PM to declare a State of Emergency.
Nah, dear leader is back to being a deity. Covid second wave is all but forgotten. Farmers protests have died down. They'll comfortably win UP and by the time general elections roll around, Ram Mandir will be ready and inaugurated. Probably the new parliament buildings as well. India is done.

The number of so called woke Hindus crying Hinduphobia because of the conference in US is insane. Whatever Hinduphobia that has increased in the world in last decade is because of idiots like Modi, Shah, Yogi and their followers bringing bad name for Hinduism and harassing/terrorising people in the name of saving Hinduism/Hindus.

There is no point in shouting at everyone else, when all the anti-Hindu folks stay in your own home.
