We need some ancient Indian kingdoms.

Hind swarajya

I grew up in India. I still live in India. I do not think of my friends as Christian friends or Muslim friends or Hindu friends. They are just friends. They just happen to have different delicacies cooked at home. Some of my friends are Manchester United fans, some Chelsea, some Liverpool and some Arsenal. So what if we follow different clubs, they are my friends first!! I believe religious identity is same as what club you support. You cant differentiate between people based on that!! That is the worst thing imaginable ever!!

Tekkumkoor wrote:This is one of the stupidest posts I've seen on our RMB in the recent past, other than one from another guy who wanted South Indians out of the country. You seem to somehow assume that your religious identity should assume primacy over all other identities you have (region, language, state, cuisine etc.). Moreover, you want your religious identity to constitute the national identity. What you need to have a basic grip on is the fact that in a vast and diverse country like India, there can be no one unifying identity marker. Indians consider India as their country, no matter what their religion, language or state is. That feeling of brotherhood is sufficient for a national identity. In countries where religious identity assumes primacy, we generally see countries splitting up on other identity markers. Pakistan and Bangladesh, for instance split up based on language and culture even though they had one religious identity as unified Pakistan. There are significantly large states in India which do not have a Hindu majority - Kashmir, Punjab, and the North Eastern States for example. Are you implying that they are free to secede? Because the moment you impose a Hindu identity, these states will be entirely justified in seceding from a Hindu India.
When you refer to Muslims as an infestation, you are regurgitating a Nazi like ideology on my great country. That is simply unacceptable.
Why is this bigot the External Affairs Minister in a region which stands for India?? I understand that the delegate and founder have executive powers. I request both of you to condemn this kind of extremely bigoted behaviour and request for immediate resignation or sacking of this External Affairs Minister from the cabinet. A person with these kind of bigoted views is not entitled to that position.

Do you realise that India is a beacon of free speech?

Each and every citizen has his own opinions and the right to convey them. So please, before you speak against a person, realize that "bigoted" views are actually part of my freedom of speech. And those are only my opinions IRL, so Those don't affect my performance here.

Tekkumkoor wrote:No brother. No one has to be thankful for anything. We are all citizens regardless of our religious identities and being thankful to one religious group implies that others are some kind of second class citizens. That is not what the constitution of India guarantees and asserts. Some bigoted person who thinks Hindus are more entitled to India than any other group neither knows history, nor has an understanding of what constitutes nationhood for a diverse and inclusive country like India.

Bigots like you clearly don't support what India stands for either. India stands for freedom of speech and opinion for every SINGLE citizen of the nation. I have my opinion, you have yours. You don't need to attack me for that, that is EXACTLY what radical religious terrorirsts do. Attack people on their religious allignment and opinions toward other religions.

IF ANYTHING, you are a hippocrate.

Let's settle this matter once and for all.

You are very much entitled to your freedom of speech, but I draw the line at anything that could potentially make any nation uncomfortable. If a Muslim nation were to see "India should be a Hindu country" on our RMB, this natioj could be deterred from joining. We want to grow, not shrink. I therefore ask you and other nations to ask yourself, before posting on the RMB, "Could my opinions and/or my post potentially hurt or offend other people?". If you are even questioning this, I would advise against posting. Only if there is no possible way that your post could offend, then post.

In the real world, you are permitted to say whatever you want. That doesn't mean you shouldn't think twice before you speak: free speech is not a get out of jail free card. There are standards, decorum, that apply in society, and the Internet is not excluded from it. Everyone is still a human being on the Internet, only difference is their face is blocked by a computer screen. Because of this, we should still think twice before we speak. I too may have some controversial or radical views, but I likely won't say them because of the nature of those views.

Because this type of event has happened more than once, I will be setting guidelines for posting on the RMB, and asking people to vote on these guidelines soon.

A flag, as in a regional flag?

Also, we are getting to work on a constitution (the Government of India Act is a starter). If you have any ideas, feel free to share them here.

I had many ideas to get people involved in the RMB. Peaceful discussions about culture and politics, or roleplay, are all things we can do.

Apparently your understanding of freedom of expression is as limited as your understanding of what India is. If you feel you are entitled to call an entire community of people an 'infestation', I'm equally entitled to call you a bigot and your views extremely as extreme narrow mindedness and frankly, stupid.

As far as you expressing your views are concerned, you can most certainly express them (though in the real world, people might think that you are a bigot for expressing them and say so - that is certainly their freedom of expression). But as someone who bears the title of Minister of State for External Affairs, those views can come across as those of the region. So if you persist in expressing these bigoted views, it is certainly better for the region that you resign

The fact that Islam is extremely vulnerable to radicalization is an absolute reality.It is true that radicalization advocates gobbling up the space of other religion.It must be noted though,that the entire concept of religion is based on a Western construct.I personally do not follow any religion but I am not an athiest.I do not have beliefs and a way of life that has been deeply influenced by the traditional customs and ideas of the ethno-linguistic group to which I belong to.Radical Islam invades that space.For reference,we can consider the case of Pakistan where the local ethno-lingustic groups are crippled due to the hegemony of Urdu-ised version of Sunni Islam or maybe the case of Indonesia where even 25 years ago,the President was able to perserve the traditional Buddhist-Animist-Hinduism,but radical Islam has destroyed it."We are together and we will fight together", was used in the Bhasa Andolan in Bangladesh where Hindu and Muslim Bengalis protested shoulder to shoulder against the Urdu hegemony ,but then radical Islam happened and after every friday prayer it was 'shoot the Hindu' game.India is a country of diverse people is the smart politican's language.Now,its not just about the Muslims,or the South Indians or the Kashmiris.Its the absolute suppressive hegemony exerted from New Delhi through its different organs in the state that is keeping India together.As for the Muslims I think it would better if they realize that radicalization would bring them nothing,but staying atleast loosely together will benefit us all.

Completely agree with you on what radical religious belief is capable of. However, we need to also realize that Islam is not the only religion susceptible to being radicalised. Christians do it when they shoot Sikhs in the US on suspicion of being Muslims, Hindus do it when they chant Jai Shriram when they invade Muslim neighborhoods raping and pillaging during riots (riots are much more common and claim more victims than terrorism in India), and Muslims certainly do it when they kill cartoonists and embark on a rioting spree on some perceived slight to the Prophet. In India perhaps, radicalisation of the majority community - Hindus is a bigger concern. Look at statistics on violence linked to religion - most victims are in fact Muslim. (many people have a tendency of looking at sophisticated terrorist attacks are the sole instance of religion inspired violence, I'm counting riots in addition to the terrorist attacks in these numbers).

I understand that the global focus on religious violence is on Islamist violence. However, I do think India needs to have different priorities given home truths here are a little different.

There can never be a perfect utopian situation and fundamentalist groups will continue to exist in whatever religion that crops up.However,I personally belief the Hindu nationalism showed in modern India is just like the one that emerged in the pre-colonial era when Indian groups such Bhadralok in Bengal invented Hindu nationalism and Hinduism itself based on the projects of the Empire.The caste system is a result of H.H. Rishley's obsession to fit Indians into a Darwanian-Vedic style uniform system that had to be based on the Portuguese 'Casta'. The Bhadralok as well as the Maharashtrians had tried to create this image of Hindu nationalism in order to subdue a growing and quite aggressive Muslim intellectual movement and it was mostly a Congress faction war.So,I consider the janata party's use of Hindu nationalism just as a political tool via people who show reactionary attitude towards Muslims(due to past skirmishes with Muslims) and in the post 1970s period,a lot of refugees were absorbed into the janata and communist parties and they have exhibited that same anti Muslim reactionary attitude.As for Christianity,it was much more violent during the Early Middle and Medieval Ages.Sweden,Norway were converted by sword and parish sponsored massacres.There are institutions in Christainity like the West boro church,church of oxford,and even the Catholic church at Rome which show fundamentalism but then fundamental islamists wage full scale wars,suppress coreligionists or if they are from other ethno-linguistic groups.Therefore,islamic fundamentalism is dangerous as even a christian group can via a third party use them to bring world wide destruction.Anyway,pardon me but I do not put my lead my life by the rules of ancient Harry Potters,but by being a logical humanist.

UPDATE FROM THE MINISTRY OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS:
The region of Canada is examining our application for an embassy. Updates will be posted soon.

Also, the Ministry requests the Founder and the WA Delegate to either of the following:
1) Give the Minister of State of External Affairs and all other ministers the password so that they can each individually handle requests for the sake of efficiency
2) Abolish the password completely
We have been receiving volumes of requests for people to join India, hence this request.

Anyone who has Border Control authority, and has ample expendable regional influence, please consider removing the password. It is hampering regional growth. Many regions who asked to enter have not entered our region and were likely discouraged from doing so because of how inefficient it is to enter.

We can't. We are at threat by Burdwan.

We can vote on whether or not to remove password.
