It’s possible, but it’s not obligatory. If those who have survived genocide and pogroms want to tell their stories, which may demonize their persecutors, I think that is their right

saddened and disappointed to see this kind of religious bigotry.
the utterance is common among many Hindus, and usually means "bless you", "go with God", or the like. it's often a greeting.

Modi's electoral dog whistle is vile. It should be condemned.
But the purported historical reading on which Tegh Bahadur's religion was irrelevant to his execution on the orders of Aurangzeb is the erasure of religious persecution--of Sikhs.
No one should stand for it.

Does treating a Justice rudely matter? If so, shouldn’t it be of deep concern to us that law is being made based on how nice some rando attorney is to one of the elders?
Things I, personally, would not do: Ask the Chief Justice if I can just go ahead and finish my sentence and his question can wait.

i know you all agreed that the number of police isn't central, but if they want 500,000 more cops and they say the number is 697,195, but the number is actually 1,227,788, can we just fire 30,000 cops and call it even?

BUT there IS a constitutional right for a corporation not to be subjected to punitive damages beyond 10 times the compensatory damages
There is no constitutional right for an innocent person not to be executed so long as their conviction was obtained through due process.

Governor Newsom says that caste is already covered by CA anti discrimination law and is thus unnecessary. Yet we see defendants arguing that it isn’t, and resulting confusion.
If there was only a way to clarify the law to make it clear. Perhaps through a “bill” of some kind?
Breaking: Gov. Gavin Newsom VETOED SB 403, which would have banned caste discrimination in California, calling it unnecessary. Story to come soon…

no doubt amy wax has randomly asked people "why did you leave your country, why are you here"
Wax then attacks Indian immigrants for criticizing things in the US when "their country is a shithole" and goes on to say that "the role of envy and shame in the way that the third world regards the first world [...] creates ingratitude of the most monstrous kind."

I don’t think that’s the policy.
My understanding is that they will evacuate any Indian national, and will issue emergency visas to any Afghan, regardless of religion. They initially said they were prioritizing Afg Hindus and Sikhs. Is that not right?

That there was a Hindu genocide does not mean nobody but Hindus were killed. It means that Hindus were targeted for their Hindu identity (while others may have been targeted for aspects of their identity simultaneously). Are you denying that happened?

it may be used by religious fanatics, but that shouldn't taint its common, benevolent usage.
Hindus are (justly) called to condemn bigotry and fanatical thinking. one part of that is not letting core features and practices of Hinduism be coopted by fringe elements.

What’s your substantiation for the claim that Hindu nationalism is a factor? As far as I can tell, the opposition also has a similar view of China—and indeed has complained that the current government hasn’t done enough to oppose the threat.
