The level of bigotry in India is simply shocking!

BJP is a Hindutvadi fascist organization in India that is against inclusion of Muslims where they lived for centuries, if not more than a millennium. Yet, simply because of their religious identity they are looked upon as outsiders. Tripura and Assam which are a couple of frontier states within India to Bangladesh are no exception to this bigotry against Muslims. These BJP run states have been trying to push out Muslims from there. What is disturbing is that the level of bigotry is so deep that even it goes to Hyderabad - a state that was ruled by Muslims for centuries before the British Rule of India.

Around 40 million people are expected to be labelled illegal immigrants after a register of citizens in the state of Assam is updated.
A politician from India’s governing party has provoked outrage after he called for Rohingya and Bangladeshi immigrants to leave India or be killed.  

“If these Rohingyas and Bangladeshi illegal immigrants do not leave India respectfully, then they should be shot and eliminated," said Raja Singh, a Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP) member of the Telangana Legislative Assembly for an area of Hyderabad. 

"Only then will our country be safe,” 
He added: “How is it right to keep foreigners in our country? There is no need to keep these pests in our country.”

His comments were reported by the ANI news agency. 

Mr Singh was speaking after Narendra Modi’s government caused uproar over the exclusion of 40 million people from a draft version of the controversial National Citizen Register (NRC) in Assam.

The register, which is a list of all legal citizens in the state, is being updated for the first time since 1951 and is being used to identify cases of illegal immigration into Assam from Bangladesh and other areas.

Millions of Bangladeshi people are thought to have come to Assam since the 1970s, and as many as 40 million are still staying without official documentation. T

This is a false narrative. Muslims have lived in Assam for centuries.

George Soros at the Davos Forum

Dear Friends and Colleagues,   I thought you would be interested in reading George's remarks he delivered at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this evening.   Best regards, Michael Vachon   George Soros Remarks delivered at the World Economic Forum Davos, Switzerland January 25, 2018 The current moment in history Good evening. It has become something of an annual Davos tradition for me to give an overview of the current state of the world. I was planning half an hour for my remarks and half an hour for questions, but my speech has turned out to be closer to an hour. I attribute this to the severity of the problems confronting us. After I’ve finished, I’ll open it up for your comments and questions. So prepare yourselves. *** I find the current moment in history rather painful. Open societies are in crisis, and various forms of dictatorships and mafia states, exemplified by Putin’s Russia, are on the rise. In the United States, President Trump would

Defining the Biden Doctrine

  In his first major foreign-policy speech as U.S. president, Joe Biden declared to the world that America was back. The international sigh of relief was almost audible amid hopes that former President Donald Trump’s disruptive style was a relic. Biden has pursued an ambitious agenda to repair alliances and forge new ones, curb corruption, arrest democratic backsliding, and tackle climate change, all while managing the fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic, Russian threats to Ukraine, and escalating tensions with China.  It hasn’t all been plain sailing. The decision to withdraw remaining U.S. troops from Afghanistan precipitated the collapse of the country’s government and chaos in Kabul as hundreds of thousands of people fled the Taliban. Plans to share nuclear submarine technology with Australia, at the expense of Canberra’s submarine deal with Paris, soured trans-Atlantic relations.  Ahead of the anniversary of Biden’s inauguration,  Foreign Policy ’s Amy Mackinnon spoke with one of t
