You're getting hysterical and losing perspective.
 
Oh yeah right! I am losing perspective eh?
The Tamil regional language problem was a minor problem thats was solved with the linguistic restructuring of Indian constitution. It has nothing to do with DMK or AIADMK. The problem of Tamil militancy (i.e LTTE) partly started with Sri Lankan mistreatment of Tamils and India following a wrong policy of creating and supporting the LTTE. Nothing to do with alienation. The power is still kept in Delhi regardless of the rise of the regional parties. What you are talking about are plain millitant activities sponsored from outside and has nothing to do with the bogey of "alienation".  Its a word popularised by Pakistan in context of Kashmir and the left parties and the marxists are only happy to extend the label on other states to their advantage. Khalistani terrorism got its support from Pakistan and now Kashmiri terrorism gets it from there. Terrorism in NE (with the backing of the Church) is supported by the fundings comming from Christian countries and from China.

You aren't quoting facts, just tirades -- event he piece about aid beign denied to tsunami victims: where are the names of the supposed charities that did that? The so-called nuns? Nothing, just stories told. Are they true? Are they false? We've got no proof about this either way.
 
When the same tirade is used against Hindus as regarding unverified news articles about nuns or Jesuits being assulted (reported by Christian propagandist sites) you would believe them in a heart beat. You dont want to believe this particular article because it shows Christian missionary work in poor light but it does not mean this news has got to be untrue.

you quote the media but then too often turn around and call them pseudo-secularists. The media make news-splashes, they dont' corroborate facts, they just tell you what you want to believe.
 
Thats because they are pseudo-secularists. We dont yet have our version of Fox-news and so long as we dont we dont have much choice except to quote from this very biased media about Christian ot Muslims excesses.

Yes.

Not really -- the problem was that there was (and IS) a real feeling that Delhi dominates and stamps out regional feelings. That's diminished ever since the south became the center of the IT industry. And you can't deny that or go hysterical and try and think it's related to Sri Lanka.

Terrorism in NE (with the backing of the Church) is supported by the fundings comming from Christian countries and from China

"The Church"? Really, you mean to say that the Catholic Church supports terrorism? You have no proof of that. You post some articles that some crazy individuals from Baptist groups say things, but no church group supports terrorists.

The N-E problem also exists in other states there, even those with Hindu majority because the NE felt (and for your information, that's the past tense), yes, FELT alienated. HAve you noticed that terrorism and militancy in the NE has declined considerably since the 1990s? Why? Because the NE is now part of India's mainstream economy, it's more integrated and people feel that they are part of India.

When the same tirade is used against Hindus as regarding unverified news articles about nuns or Jesuits being assulted (reported by Christian propagandist sites) you would believe them in a heart beat. You dont want to believe this particular article because it shows Christian missionary work in poor light but it does not mean this news has got to be untrue

REally, have you even READ my posts or do you just want to make unqualified remarks? I don't believe silly posts (and you've been copied in on my posts where I do refute such crazy articles). Does that mean that there aren't instances of Christians being targetted in INdia? No. there are Steines cases, but they are barely a handful. are there Hindu persecutions in India? Yes, the same answer qualifies. If a Hindu gets burnt to death by Christians in India or anywhere because of his faith, I'll condemn that, and the opposite as well.

Thats because they are pseudo-secularists. We dont yet have our version of Fox-news and so long as we dont we dont have much choice except to quote from this very biased media about Christian ot Muslims excesses.

If they are pseudo-secularists, why do you quote them as fact when they happen to parallel your views?

(Sigh) What has IT industry got to do with any of this? You were talking about a feeling of alienation if I remember. You mean an IT industry or two would be a solution for every such feeling of alienation?
 
(Sigh) I dont know why you had to revive this thread.

Check post #111, #166. Its a BBC article. I said its a Church thats involved. I didnt say whether it was a Catholic, Baptist, Protestant, Pentacostal, Methodist, Presbyterian or Orthodox Church thats involved.

How so? What IT COs does the NE have?

In India there plenty of Hindus too who were killed by Christian Terrorist groups like the NLFT. I hope you do admit there are Christian terrorists who kill Hindus and I hope you will condemn those as well.

BTW I do condemn the attacks on Christians.

Very much like the liberal media is the only media avaliable, its hardly objective or hard on facts but the conservatives have not much choice but to quote from them. At least the conservatives have their own voice, truly secular Hindus dont have theirs yet.
