      Many of whom have lived there for countless generations. Wow, that’s an impressively long-running strategy they’ve got going on.

          Hindu nationalists blame the Mughals for British colonialism and claim oppression under their rule. Modi specifically has some call outs for some of their emperors, because that’s what reasonable people do, beef over something that happened 400 years ago under a monarchy.

          All while ignoring the Hindu purges of Buddhists, Jainists, and Muslims themselves btw

            I’m from India and they call for destruction of mosques because they were oppressors but when pointed out that temples were out of range for dalits(lower caste) to even look at they start using slurs. It’s incredibly sad when the younger generation is more active in this bigotry.

        “Pleonasm” is a word I’ve never seen before, and won’t look up because I don’t expect to see it ever again.

        Of course, now that I’ve said this, I’ll be seeing it at least weekly all over the place.

          the use of more words than are necessary to convey meaning (e.g. see with one’s eyes ), either as a fault of style or for emphasis.

    Almost every time someone tries to lump this many people into one basket, the rest of what they’re saying is going to be dumb as hell.

    I might just be entirely wrong… like really, really wrong and if so correct me. But didn’t A certain someone say something similar about people with a certain religion in Germany back in the days?
