Does P&N have any answers to this? Any glorious insights to share?

[Braznor]

Hindu and minority population in Pakistan and Bangladesh is shrinking year by year. Contrast this with the booming population of Muslims in India and the West. What the fuck do you all think is happening in those countries? Population of any community does not decline in the normal course of affairs.

With what fucking logic do all of you here criticize the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) as passed by India under the BJP and call it discriminatory?


It's time we resume that debate again.

I'd rather post in a GettyRoad thread.

edit: Ok fine, I'll take the bait.

Why don't you tell us what is happening? What's your hypothesis? Do you have any facts to back it up?

I imagine most of the Hindus in Pakistan are poor, rural villagers and unfortunately forced conversions are a thing--especially for landlords looking for brides for their sons and family members. There are also many unforced conversions--Irish and Korean Christian ministries still operate in a 1700s/1800s mindset of incentivized conversion to Christianity. Finally, I would imagine that for more well-to-do Hindus in Pakistan, maybe putting their religion down on a government census form in a country with a history of violence towards Hindus isn't the way to get ahead in life.

But, even after all that, official census data still shows the Hindu population is growing as an overall percentage of the total population, so I have no idea what you're going on about, as usual.
Year % of total Pop % Growth

1981	1.5%	+0.1%
1998	1.85%	+0.35%
2017	2.14%	+0.29%

That is a really good question, unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

 

[Braznor]

Strategic apathy?

Where are those figures from? I like to see the source.

Fuck you if you are using the Pakistani census to claim that. This is intellectual dishonesty at its worst.

By the way, you did a great job at explaining away why the minority populations in Pakistan and Bangladesh are declining. Yea, brides for the landlord's son, yep that must be it. So fuck you again.

Is the religious affiliation changing or is a physical headcount decreasing?

Doesn't either case show there is something seriously wrong in Pakistan and Bangladesh?

So why criticize the CAA bill which aims to provide refuge to minority populations of these countries?

I don’t know, does it? Show your work, and try not to be to upset if others disagree or show countering evidence. If you wanna just rant, put a /rant at the end

Ok, so you’re just going this route again. Yawn, peace out

Again, pretending apathy or ignorance or boredom is not the honorable way out of this thread.

I will continue bumping this thread until I get a reasonable answer.

You're coming to a predominantly American forum to rant about Indian politics, we generally don't give a fuck about India.

 

[IronWing]

Maybe there is nothing wrong in Pakistan and people in India can’t keep their legs crossed.

Well I think you’ll find people round here shit on all religions pretty equally, cuz all those religions are shit. Nailed it.

Go ahead, laugh as millions and millions of people get brutally persecuted for their religion

AND

Don't forget to take a piss on the one lifeline that is allowing them to escape from their persecution. (The CAA Bill)

Seriously, did you expect we all would go Gretha Thunberg on it, after reading a few lines on a online forum?

I have no clue what this CAA thing is but it must be some serious fascist shit for the OP to be spazzing so hard while refusing to discuss the particulars.

People just like to shit on you because you're emotional and unhinged, no one here really cares about Indian politics. You might as well be ranting about internal politics in Gibraltar or the Azores

Maybe atheistic views are becoming more prevalent among Hindu's and minorities. Or maybe someone's murdering and eating them all. I don't really know. Why don't you tell us what you think is happening, with some citations so we know you're not a loon.

It is far easier to swallow that tripe when you don't have any answers.
