That was an amusing post, some fantastic numbers there, unfortunately mostly inflated by your imagination. I wonder, since when does the killing of people in an insurgency (considerably caused by the insurgents themselves) amount to an act of a religion when there is no religious agenda on the part of the army which happens to be religiously mixed albeit a majority of hindus, but substantially Sikh, Christian and Muslim. The irony being that the violent insurgents themselves are fighting on the basis of religion nobody else. If it was an issue of religion, then quite simply India does not need to uphold article 370 which gives Kashmir special status and let the flood gates open for millions of hindus to outpopulate the Muslims. It has not. The same cannot be said for Bangladesh re: Chittagong hills or Pakistan in regard to the erstwhile Hindu majority Thar.

I dont know what is it about you religious fanatics who are hell bent on making wondrous statements of (non) fact in an attempt to denigrate the other.

I dont remember seeing any historical context of the use of the world Dalit outside the last half century or so, a word so fluid it picks and chooses what the term applies to when it suits. As for the number count, LMAO you just couldnt but a fictional figure on it, save to say it is definately more than any other "religion". Yeah I mean lets just through any sensible evidence outside the window, I mean who needs evidence when you can rely on plane old dogmatic stupidity.

The Orissa comment was a wondrous example of the religious zealot at work. The violence erupted because of the killing of a local Hindu priest, it followed years of tension between the significantly christianised Pana community encroaching on land that belonged to the native Kandha tribe. Throw into the mix that many of the pana community supported Maoist insurgents. The killing was a match to the already existing tinder. No admission on your pary what so ever to the bigger picture.

Words cannot truly express the semi-fictional summary you gave, other than I am not surprised ... You are fooling nobody, even you know the truth of it.
