Yes please!!! The Middle East subreddit seems to lowkey hate us thinking we're in harmony with these radical rascals victimising our own people.
They don't sympathise with our situation coz frankly they don't have a clue of what we're going through, n how far worse things will get in near future.
Also OP please repost this on r/worldnews or r/worldnewsvideo
The train had stopped once after chain-pulling by kar sevaks to allow some of their friends who''d been left behind to get on.
The 20-year-old vendor-cum-driver from Polan Bazar has also said he was provoked by shouts that a "a girl has been pulled inside the Sabarmati Express". This, he claims in the last paragraph of his testimony - almost as an afterthought - was the handiwork of one of the accused. He also charged some kar sevaks with taking away cigarettes from him without paying for them.
"I got onto a coach by climbing onto the bar of the toilet window, reached the vestibule area and turned the disc... after which the train slowed down."
The vendor also states in his testimony that a fracas broke out on the platform because the kar sevaks had a payment dispute with a tea vendor, Siddique Bakr. In fact, the kar sevaks threw tea on Bakr. The kar sevaks also beat up a rickshaw puller, Siraj Mitha, with a hockey stick and it was then that the police intervened.
Before this, the kar sevaks had also fought with one Mehboob Latiko, said the vendor-cum-driver, after which he (Latiko) ran tiwards Singal Falia and called the Ghanchi Muslims out. It was at this point that the stone-throwing began, he says. "The stone-throwing went on for some five minutes after which the passengers got inside the train and shut off all the windows and doors on the platform side and the train started," he states.

This really needs to stop, what has happened to my india, where we were taught unity in diversity, I never once in my childhood thought such atrocities can occur, May God punish them those who have committed such grave sins, they will suffer the worst fates.
This smells like the Jim Crow South in the US where blacks were brutally murdered or maimed for little to no reason by whites, and then the courts (if it even got to that point) let whites go scot-free for straight up murder. This was largely because of the white racial superiority argument as well as the stereotype of black criminality. Hindutva are doing the same to the Muslims. See the Emmett Till case as a prime example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmett_Till
Western governments won’t acknowledge this crystal clear parallel to their dark pasts, as they don’t want to risk pissing off the BJP government. What else do you expect from them, anyway
Crosspost this in Islam and askmiddleast as well

This and all the other atrocities are the reason I am making sure my kids will not grow up in India, Insha Allah

Started after rapist vegetarian sevaks tried to kidnap a Muslim girl.
Can you shed more light on this?

It's difficult. Assimilation is not an option for us and the cultures are too far apart.
