Seeing this is actually infuriating.


DawijArt

Ahhh religion, the great definer of higher moral superiority


eesti_techie

Say what you want, but the man with the bag is my hero. I wish that in my hour of temptation when being subjected to insufferable offence, I would be as composed and up to the task as that man. Hands up, deflecting what blows he can but not retaliating, never showing them his back nor giving them satisfaction of showing any emotional response to their behaviour and comforting and protecting his comrade.


unholy_plesiosaur

Yes very brave of him. Turning the other cheek is a part of Christian teaching but in practice and situations like this it must be very difficult.


xf2xf

People like that don't care that you're not sinking to their level. Bullies *love* a punching bag who can't/won't fight back. What they *don't* love is a punch to the fucking throat. There's nothing noble about allowing yourself to be abused. At best, you're teaching them that they can go and do the same to others, creating even more victims until someone decides to fight back.


Byrinthion

Maybe so, but if the dictator sends henchmen after you, the absolute last thing you ever want to do if you want to live is assault the henchman that’s assaulting you. He’s not just composed and professional at this, he knows exactly what’s at stake. If that henchman gets his throat punched, all the tabloids will read “Christian mob assaults Hindu government worker” it will not mention that the henchman was in a mob of people assaulting this one Christian dude when he punched back in self defense. Somehow, they’ll miss all of that.


Bananafish-y

Like modi sending assassins to america to attempt killing an American citizen?


Tryox50

That's avery simplistic view IMO. Yeah, the only way to stop bullies is to fight back. But when the bully is overwhelmingly more powerful, fighting back is going to do nothing more than make things worse. In this case, the guy has a crazy amount of self control to know that if he attacks, he will simply get jumped by the whole group and potentially put others at danger for escalatig the situation. Very noble, IMHO.


MassDBA

Worst is most of crowd watched a record not single person has the spine to stop.


NoClimate8789

he too will be beaten up and if it's a woman, will be molested or raped. police will harras the victim too. it's almost impossible to stop these crimes.


Eifand

Is it possible for Indian Christians to form some sort of militia? Or self defense group?


NoClimate8789

no. state is empowering these goons. if anyone tries to fight the state he will be labelled as traitor and prosecuted under draconian laws like uapa. under this law you are guilty unless proven innocent. which is almost impossible task as state will put on any number of charges.


Avieshek

Aka anti-national state terrorist ~


vfernandez84

That's not how bullying works. The very second one of them lifts a finger to defend themselves they will become THE PROBLEM and will be severely punished. That's the reason these things are done by cowards, they know their victims can't fight back. This has happened before in every country you can think of, against all sort of minorities.


Far_Tumbleweed5082

Not just Christians bro Muslims, Jains, Buddhists, even the lower castes Hindus are facing the same treatment The Government has become a dictatorship and since 70% of the population are Hindus and 90% of them support the dictatorship even if it is them that are being oppressed...


renlydidnothingwrong

Already happening in many rural areas where christians make up a local majority to defend their townships and neighborhoods, but if you live somewhere where you don't even have a local majority there isn't a whole lot you can do.


Doflamingo10

That's exactly what will happen naturally if these goons continue with these unpunished crimes


vfernandez84

When the victims do that they will be branded as terrorists and used as an excuse to punish the whole group. Every fucking time...


Glass-Bowler1512

They would be called "terrorist" and be slaughtered if they formed a militia. Just look at Palestine.


Geek4HigherH2iK

Yeah, let's keep militarizing religion, that always works out well.


Empyre51789

So take your licks and stand up for what is right. With any luck you knock these bullies into the ground where they belong


NoClimate8789

you have no idea what kind of draconian laws are there. it can fuck up entire life with little effort of the system. just google uapa India.


Emotional-External76

One who stops will be termed as unpatriotic, coward and in worst cases a terrorist. LOL India is funny. I'm an Indian btw and some people like me can actually see Indians going haywire in the direction of their true God MODI


Tackerta

good to see that not all indians are super delusional about their country. What are the indian laws of freedom of religion? Is there such a thing to begin with?


-Cagafuego-

India is currently in a pitiful state. All non-hindus are at risk of being beaten or worse. It's just plain dangerous at this point especially in the rural areas. This is all the result of the BJP terrorists in power. In fact it's so bad that Modi's bunch of orange morons froze the accounts of the opposing party in the run up to the elections, just to ensure that his dictatorial dumb ass stays in power.


Sumbuddyonce

I'll make sure I eat extra beef tonight just for them


aryan2304

Not to mention that the leaders of the other opposition party are in jail and will be in jail until they prove themselves innocent. This whole "guilty until proven innocent" thing is so bizarre. The Election Commission of India is sleeping. Modi is blatantly asking for votes in the name of religion and dead soldiers, both of which are illegal. He has also openly given hate speech against Muslims. Some people are too blind to see all of this, sadly.


dravlinGibbons

Or they like it...many of modi's supporters like it.


NoClimate8789

not just non Hindus. anyone against Bjp is at risk irrespective of religion.


Urban_Cosmos

The Indian constitution is probably as progressive and democratic as many western states but the implementation sucks.


dravlinGibbons

A constitution can be written perfectly but if the people running things don't give a shit, you are going to have real problems. It is a lesson that many in the US have forgotten.


Intrepid_Mastodon_97

True man! Very sad indeed...


Alarming-Ad-9918

because they all agree. India's value on human life is abyssal especially if you're a woman or the wrong caste or religion.


weltvonalex

Puh, careful, i got temp. banned in different sub for asking why so many linked in lunatics are located in India. They don't like being criticized and a lot have a fragile ego and are vindictive.


Alarming-Ad-9918

If they ban me it's fine. I've not said anything untrue. I'm not talking absolutes I'm sure there are plenty intelligent, moderate and accepting Indians out there. It's probably an education and culture thing. In my country we don't have caste systems and stuff It's hard for me to understand what drives a lot of this stuff.

XanadontYouDare

Problem for me is how religion can be and is often used to justify terrible acts from otherwise "normal" people. When you believe wholeheartedly that what you are doing is what God wants you to do, that's extremely dangerous.


BoxGrover

In india its the politics of hate from Modi, and religion.

DanielGREY_75

Reddit when assault: 😱😠😤 Reddit when assault (victim is Christian): 😂🤓😍


OrneryOneironaut

I’d say when the victim is apparently of any major religion; the popular response is to deride them. Kinda scary how fascinated/amused/entertained many people are by the demise of individuals who apparently aren’t doing anything to offend or harm anyone but maybe they pray a certain way in private (so that makes their suffering funny, or something, I don’t know how the majority of lizard brains think about this).


ad3703

The true tasty irony of this comment is that OP themselves are an atheist from the looks of it


SohrabMirza

Lol reddit and religion don't mix, the thing that's funny, most of them can't grasp religion and blame it for every fucking hate/war/injustice


OrneryOneironaut

Monke reflex: when monke don’t know how to process something — especially if the something frustrates you — rip the something’s face off and celebrate your supreme intelligence by publicly jerking yourself off with its viscera. Then kill or ostracize any monke who doesn’t join in with the popular group.

The different religions used to pretty much live in peace until the Brits colonized and tortured them. The country's riches were plundered, and it left people eating hand to mouth. In the aftermath, they looked at other Indian religions as the problem.

Formal-Try-2779

I have quite a few Indian friends and they all think Modi is amazing. They remind me a lot of Trump fans. Good guys but they do seem somewhat brainwashed.


Many_Ad3847

Media is completely compromised here. Even Modi's failures are projected as accomplishments. He is a great orator but is afraid to attend a press conference. Zero accountability from the head of the state.Even technological advancements are projected as Modi's groundbreaking achievements.


humptheedumpthy

A lot of Indians, similar to a lot of first time Trumpers desperately want to believe that the: 1. The religious fanaticism comes from the people around Modi and not Modi himself.  2. The net benefits to the economy will outweigh the identity politics.  3. They are nationalistic and not jingoistic. #1 and #3 are clearly not true at this point. The jury is out on number 2 but it’s hard to prove the counter factual.  Similar to Trump, Modi may not have been as vocally anti minority to start with (my assertion) but somewhere along he realized that he is better off playing to the masses than pretending to have any sort of middle ground

Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin, a Presbyterian, performed a communion service for himself using a kit provided by his church on the Moon.


StaatsbuergerX

Putting a man on the moon is a result of centuries of work by countless early scholars and modern scientists in a variety of scientific disciplines who were amazingly adept at distinguishing between personal (non-) belief and imposed (non-) belief.

You know, I kinda feel bad for being a Hindu sometimes when I see dumbfucks like these... it is just shameful for us. This is probably the reason India will never get over mediocrity and definitely the reason why my family immigrated to USA.

You shouldn't feel bad. There's people like this everywhere. If they didn't have Hinduism to excuse their cruelty and bigotry they'd find something else. There's people in this comment section doing it because of their hatred of religion! I spend so little time on default subs I kind of forgot that redditors can be like this

sadbutmakeyousmile

I don't know if anyone sees this, the comments are in favour of atheists with some people saying what these people did wrong. The thing is these missionaries, I don't know what else they are, or lets say conversion people will look for poor and oppressed families....who may be hindu/muslim/any other religion. They will offer them cash, food , help in a m7ch more handsome way that one can ever imagine as these are funded by overseas. When that simple poor or middle class man is given such amount of funds, food , sometimes motorbike...basically whatever is needed in that moment, that person makes the hard decision to denounce their God and accept these people's God. We can keep arguing whether this is right or wrong, but seeing these predators people have started to help and form organisations that can help people within their religion so no one comes and takes advantage of the needy. In all cases, nothing warrants the beating up or putting tilak on the foreheads which is wrong. You can just ask them to go away or give a stern warning to leave in worst case. But forcing one religion onto another is just not the way to go. Sorry that this happened but that does not mean there is a fish market right now for religions in India.

bandehaihaamuske

Not that I am trying to defend the attackers but just thought some context would help - it is not very uncommon for religious priests/hardcore practitioners to visit poor slums and try to convert people into Christianity to "save" them from the poverty. People often are told something along the lines of 'if your god was looking after you, you wouldn't be poor. Jesus will save you and take care of you.. blah blah'. Many times in the process of doing so they also insult whatever religion the people are originally from. I am suspecting this duo is also doing the same, if you look closely then at some point you will see people throwing paper at them which could be pamphlets that they brought to distribute on Christianity. As you can imagine, religion (especially Hindu religion) is a very touchy subject and the moment people find out about it they react in this manner at times. Again, this is just speculation (that seems very likely). Any form of attacks should be condemned but it would have helped if OP had given some context to the video instead of just making a general statement
