India’s very own equivalent of MAGA have Modi’s support as they keep him empowered. I’m a Hindu and know that this ultranationalism is not what Hinduism is.
That’s what moderates in any religion says about the extremists in it. But the fact is that a religion cannot deny its responsibility in crimes committed in its name - because religion is the instrument used for indoctrination and radicalization. At best you can say that your religion is being misused.
A more unbiased title would have been "Hindu nationalists and Muslim nationalists in India fight each other by renaming lions to offend the other side."
Mondal said the lion called Akbar had previously been named after the Hindu deity Rama when he was in the neighbouring state of Tripura, which is controlled by Modi’s Bharatiya Janata party.
But the lion’s name was changed when he was brought to West Bengal, which is controlled by the opposition Trinamool Congress party. The VHP petition calls for a ban on using religious names for animals in zoos.
I don’t see any muslim nationalists. And half of this is the party leader’s testimony. I have no idea how accurate this is.
Thanks. I was too lazy to check for myself.
You are in fact correct. It's not a Muslim party, just the opposition trying to rile up the governing party.
