Welcome to Modi's India.

Wow, I used to dream of visiting India. The history and culture are fascinating.

These days, though... not sure I would make it out alive. To make matters worse, I'm Canadian. The fuck is going on over there?

Correction: Muslim intellectually challenged man.

Feel enlightened, might casually murder another human later /s

You killed a dude for possession of a banana?

...really?

Are they facing consequences? Or is Modi's government promoting Hindu nationalism?

According to the neighbours, Ishaq was mentally challenged. “He was a simple boy who did not bring any harm to anyone,” autorickshaw driver Mohammad Saleem, who lives in the same lane, told Al Jazeera.

So a kid with down syndrome or something picked up a banana off the ground and people literally beat him to death because of it. Well, mostly because he was doung the "eating while Muslim" thing)

Assaults and mob lynchings, mainly of Muslims, have been rising in India since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power in 2014. The government denies the allegation.

Hindu nationalists are fascists. Call them what they are.

I couldn't find any other source of this news other than this website. Could someone point me to another source? This article was unclear on the date when this happened.

So guys, not saying this was right, murder is wrong in almost all scenarios. That being said I feel like no one in this thread actually read the article, he didn't just eat a banana. He took a banana that was give as a ritualistic offering to a Hindu deity. Didn't deserve death, but if the accusation is true he had to have expected some serious consequences.

Like come on, if this was an article about a Muslim community beating the shit out of someone for throwing bacon at a mosque, we'd all probably have a different reaction. Murder was too far, but you can't spit in the face of someone's religion or culture and expect nothing to happen.
