the economist has correctly identified why the canadians did not
bother about air india bombing: as they say, the passengers were
"canadian hindus". note the peculiar turn of phrase, they could have
said "canadians of indian origin".
in this instance, it is an unintentional insight. it's because the
victims were *hindus* that nobody bothered, including the indian
government. if this had happened to indian *mohammedans*, e. ahamed
and the entire communist brigade would have been very busy, as they
were in the case of the kerala mohammedan who was to lose an eye (for
an eye) in saudi arabia, which sentence was commuted on intervention
by e. ahamed.
when it's indian-origin *hindus*, the indian government couldn't care
less. then why blame the canadian government for racism or
complacency?

It is almost as if Hindus are children of a lesser God. Hate crimes/terrorism/genocide against Hindus is to be negated, else minimised and justified by attacking Hindu conservatives -

See the above for an interesting American view on the mainstream media's negationism with respect to the slaughter of the Hindu family by a Bangladeshi muhammedan in California. I've noticed this too. The Dhanak family is described
as belonging to the "strict SwamiNarayan sect of Hinduism".
Now, to the un-informed anglicist, what would that sound like, duh,
the Taliban or Jehovah's witnesses ? The media conveniently ignores that their strictness pertains to non-violence, pacifism,
vegetarianism etc.
To a large extent, Hindus have themselves to blame for being subjected to this contempt.
Why patronise enemies of our nation like ASHA, AID etc ?
Why campaign against "encounters" of Muslim terrorists ?
Why confer a Bharat Ratna on M.F Hussain ?
Why go on Delhi-Lahore bus yatras ?
Why fight each other as North/South Indians ? As Tamils/Kannadigas ? As Gujjars/Meenas ? As Marathi/others ?
Why retain Navjot Sidhu as a BJP MP when he goes to the Wagah border with candles & mithai on Pakistan's independence day ?
Why refrain from voting on election day, then complain if Lallu, Sonia, Shikhandi MMS get elected ?
Why ? Why ? Why ?
