After this landslide I wonder if the BJP will get going on building that Ram temple in Ayodhya

Ayodhya is the home of Ram, so it makes sense for a temple of Ram to be there. Im surprised there isnt one already there


Fun Fact: Ram is my favorite avatar of Vishnu  not Krishna like most people



Enough blood has already been spilt there, people just need to leave that site alone.

Sure, I agree what took place in 1992 cannot be justified.  Still I think the Muslim community is not being reasonable here.  Islam does not really have any rules on where a masque is located while Hinduism care a lot about where a temple is located.  Not sure why the Muslims just do not make a deal to give up that space in return for BJP/RSS helping build several masques in other locations all over UP.

It doesn’t even matter at this point in that sense, muslims have like no power or say so in what happens next, they are at the mercy of Modi, who will obviously continue f#cking them over. They already have it, and I guess some people just feel like rubbing salt in wounds, whatever, nothing can be done about it, guess they will pay on judgment day.

Ayodhya is the home of Ram though, so there should be a Ram Temple there. Like Jaichind said you can build a mosque right next to the new temple as well and everything will be fine.

Its not nationalist or religious fundamentalism to want that that to happen, its actually the opposite: its respecting both Hindus and Muslims and I am sure if the above happened the vast majority of people would be happy.



Yeah, but I’d be willing to bet a penny or two on said mosque being torched by some hindutva element relatively quickly, there’s no point. Besides why is there even any talk of compromise? Muslims don’t hold any power or leverage to make any of that happened, they are powerless.

The people who do that should be jailed for quite some time for that then and I would support increasing current sentences for those types of crimes.




Then I wish you were pm of India over Modi Tongue

NDTV expresses "shock" that MP is now BJP 28 INC 1.  Of course I been saying for a while now that this will be the case.  Just look at the ECI vote shares will tell you the seat share result.

Maharashtra is now at BJP-SHS 43 NCP 4 AIMIM 1.  INC completely shut out with zero.  AIMIM ahead in Aurangabad because the Hindu vote there split between SHS INC and a SHS rebel.

Im pretty much a law and order conservative by world standards, its just here in the US im liberal cause of how right wing the US is on that issue.

On Modi I have said multiple times blaming him for the 2002 riots is totally unfair as every court has cleared him on that . The reason those riots got out of hand is Law and Order problems not Modi. Think about how much the 1992 LA riots got of hand here in a nation as advanced as ours then think how much worse it would be in a nation plagued with law and order problems like India

INC now down to 54 seats.  If that does not go up then just like 2014 INC might not even get the position of Leader of Opposition.

The party he oversees and the people he affiliates with and the dogwhistles and Trump like behavior and such little support and membership from muslims and the ultra hindu nationalism lead me to hold him in the position of the Trump of India. He’s not a friend of Islam or muslims, nor does he want to be. Is he a direct murderer or the worst among them? Nah, but he is bad news.

Back to my theme of BJP vs INC vision of nation building. I think another angle of the Ayodhya conflict is is about the fact that the masque there was build by Babur on top of an allegedly Ram Hindu temple.  The BJP/RSS narrative of Indian history does not consider the Moghul empire as a part of true Indian history.  They are seen as invaders just like the British.  Removing any symbols of this occupation is part of this national building narrative above and beyond the religious sentiments of Hindus toward the Ram temple that was supposedly there for centuries ago.

Telangana now at TRS 9 BJP 4 INC 3 AIMIM 1.  I think TRS will gain a couple of more seats but it seems overall TRS under-performed.  It seems KCR's move to call assembly elections early in 2018 was very wise.  INC also learned the right less from the 2018 assembly election to drop TDP as its ally.  That mostly got some of the anti-TDP vote to come back and that hurt TRS enough to also get BJP ahead in some seats.

Most people I know believe this as well, and many tell me they were worse than the British as well.

It seems that although AIADMK was smashed in LS elections it did fairly well in the assembly by-elections.  Most likely for now the AIADMK government will survive.  If so then it is clear that AIADMK should not have allied with BJP in the LS elections as it drove the anti-BJP vote to DMK-INC.  Of course since the BJP was coming back to power at the center AIADMK most likely formed such an alliance knowing that it will be beaten in the LS elections but gains an ally at the federal level and instead invest all their resources toward winning the assembly by-elections

In AP it is now YSRCP 25 TDP 0.  Another enemy of Modi, TDP's Naidu, bites the dust.

India vote share:
NDA: 45%
UPA: 30%
Others: 25%

Four BJP seats in Telengana almost secure now. If there is anything that i would not have expected, it is that. It shows that the BJP has managed to penetrate the dravidian south outside of karnataka (where the BJP is at 25/28, and where the Cong-JD(S) Government is probably dead). The BJP is truly a national Party now, which is all the more remarkable considering its hindi-hindu-hindustan campaign. Also the Congress is on 55(+11) right now, almost 60% of the UPAs seats are from Kerala and TN.

Anti-muslim Terrorist Pragya Singh Thakur has won by more than 200000 Votes for the BJP in Bhopal.
She is charged with a series of bombings that killed six people and injured more than 100.

Imagine if the Congress had run Masood Azhar as a candidate.

Seems like best exit pollster is Today's Chanakya who was the best exit pollster in the 2014 LS election but then was off in several state assembly election and roundly mocked by me as hopelessly pro-BJP although I admitted that in BJP wave elections (like 2017 UP assembly election and now 2019 LS election) it is very accurate.

They have for 2019

BJP 300 ± 14 Seats                 
NDA 350 ± 14 Seats
Cong 55 ± 9 Seats                   
UPA 95 ± 9 Seats
Others 97 ± 11 Seats

Rahul Gandhi concedes defeat in Amethi.  That is symbolic of the Modi wave in 2019.
