You mention Ram Guha who is a known Marxist historian and a Congress loyalist. Of course he will have issues with BJP, as he no longer gets the same kind of patronage like under Congress government. You mention BBC ( known to have leftist leanings ) and as per a recent study close to 50% people in UK do not trust BBC, so imagine a news outlet which is not trusted by half its own country's people, which indirectly forces the Brits to pay license fee, otherwise that dump would go bankrupt like Vice news. Lastly Indian NRIs. As an real* Indian who is born, lives and works in India, and I think I speak for all of us ( Indians ). Please stay out of our internal matters. You NRIs don't live here, you are out of touch, you do not know the ground realities, so how do you pass judgements from Foreign lands ? If you want that right, give up your foreign citizenship, come to India along with your family, take up Indian citizenship, and then you have to right to vote and voice your opinions because then you have a skin in the game. If you cannot do that, then shut up. You NRIs are like that child who left their Poor disabled sick mother ( India, after she had been looted, almost beaten to death, stripped off her dignity by the Goras ) , we her real* sons Indians took care of her when she needed us the most, we feed her, we fought wars for her and bleed, we restored some of her lost dignity, and we are striving to give her back her lost self respect which was taken away from her by the looters. You NRIs are the worst of scums, you lost your right to comment in our matters the day you left our lands. And how can a son (NRI) who was not loyal to their own real* mother be loyal to their adopted* mother ( Foreign country ), the day shit hits the fan and the West collapses you will be the first one's to jump ship and abandon your adopted country as well coz you have not a single drop of loyalty in your blood .
Turks never in Turkiye accepted secularism. Secular diplomats and general of army was forcing people along the establishments of Turkiye but it failed miserably since 1950 and early 2000s Muslim majority party won since then Turks are kept their composure on staying and acting as Islamic state. Because that majority of nation believe and accept. Turks will never be secular. We were Muslim almost. A millennium. Since the Talas war!!! And we are very proud of our Turkish Islamic history.
Oh the good old anti- Semitic card. Arabs are the biggest number of Afro-Asiatic Semitic people 223 million Arabic Afro-Asiatic Semitic language speakers. The Arabs are Semitic people and the largest number. The funny thing is Arabs are Semitic and so are some Somalis and Ethiopians but Jews would have you believe only they are Semitic.
But one set are really documented colonialists, settlers and racists. The others are simply slurs to try and find equivocation. This is because rothsrael doesn't like the response of the mirror mirror on the wall.
In 2014 over 50 days, Israel killed 551 Palestinian children and 299 women. Israel illegally occupies Palestinian land. Human rights organisations have been documenting Israeli occupation and abuse of Palestinian human rights for a long time.
