Your analogy completely fails. India has a system of law and order,it takes its citizens money,it has administrative units,it has voters,its a democracy, ministers of states,prime minister. Does Islam have any of these things. Its a religion,just like Hinduism. Religious fanaticism is different cause you can interpret your religion according to you. You can choose the good interpretation and bad acc to you. Nobody can stop you. There is no system to stop you. But a country has a system in place. Its a legal system. It has to answer to its citizens. You can't interpret your legal rights as you wish. And if you do, the police will put you behind bars. There is a reason most empires in history have separated the state from the religion. They are not comparable. The laws of the country are not based on someone's interpretation and therein lies the difference.[/DIV]India needs humiliation on an international level because that's the only way this government works. And social media is a great tool. What are you talking about. Unrest in public is ne eded.The Asifa and Unnao's cases sped up cause of social media. The world got to know because of social media and the ordinance was approved so quickly because the world got to know. These cases were months older but things started happening because of social media.
My analogy was not comparing nationality with religion.
It is comparing beliefs of patroitism and religion.
People are as much loyal to religion as they are to nationality.
What I am trying to say is blaming whole of India constantly will
deviate the issue from tackling of sexual crime to nationalism issue.
People don't take shit about things they love, especially when the accusations are disparaging. And this social media outcry is doing nothing but spreading propoganda both Bhakti and anti-Bhakti.
I agree Government of India deserves all the blame and protests from the public for its failure to give safety the people of the nation especially the women and children against sexual crime, and they need to take responsibility. But while protesting people also need to understand that keeping religion and the country out of it is a very important thing.
Many people fail to understand the difference between state and government. Hence you see many people pouncing on, when people criticise India. Obviously criticism is against GOI, and not the country, but not everyone is smart to differentiate, so people hould be clear and specific about it. Yes current party Bhakts will still retaliate but people will still get a grip that criticism is against GOI, and not the country itself.
