X2, sometime we go over the board with everything, when we see lot of Jihadis we feel as if everything that perhaps any single word uttered abotu a hindu was a crime. You specially feel that in a multicultural society as US.
I too, try my best to educate my children NOT to stereotype.
Having said that, plz remember that impressions that the things that our previous generation had of the hindu doinated india are bound to make roads into texts or novels. The way they were ridiculed, discriminated in India is a fact well documented in hisotry books.
okay i am sleepy now, will talk tomorrow.
bhai I agree that there was a backlash at what people saw as oppression, fine I will buy that. but that does not explain the views on jews, or bahai and ahmadis.
There ae issues, understanding the reasons is good, as you have noted one of teh reasons why we have such crap about hindus in our culture, but reasons do nto excuse the issue.
in your view has that deceased over the years though? My experience of pak was mid -late 80's and then just trips so dont know if it has improved over the years. the betetr access to the world thru dish and internet makes me feel that it has but then the moronic stuff that i see sometimes makes me wonder. But I dont know is its flat, delined or increased. I think its declined..i hope so
