Re: Ongoing Indian horror story: 70 yr old Nun raped in India
Well the Shakti mills case isnt a hate crime, its just some poor girl being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Its just a crime.
Now this case could also be a crime of lust, and just fall into the category of “just another robbery/rape.”
But when you have a group off men who specifically target a church or convent, and then go about ransacking the place and having their way with head mother, that raises suspicions. Especially in the context of the current hostility emanating from an emboldened Hindu right. To say that it doesnt at the very least hint at some degree of religion based bigotry, would be deluded.
Now imagine if you will, how you would classify a similar crime that were to target a Hindu institution. Lets say a group of Muslim men attacked a Hindu temple and raped Hindu women worshiping there. Then they robbed the place and destroyed property. Would you call that just another crime? Forget average run of the mill criminal, Indians would be up in arms over the terrorists attacking Hindu temples and raping every Hind woman they can get their lecherous hands on! Muslims would be strung up over night ! They might even dig up a connection with Pakistan!
None of us like to admit uncomfortable truths about our own people, but your only deceiving yourself.
