The ruling Congress party has conceded defeat in India, following reports of a clear lead for the Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies. Prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi helped the new leadership into office.

Narendra Modi will be the next prime minister of India, after early election results on Friday put his pro-business Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and allies well on course to clear the majority of 272 seats required to govern. Even by itself, the BJP appeared close to an outright majority.

So the Hindu Nationalist party won and this man, Modi, is quite controversial. he has an adversity towards muslims, which are a very large minority in India especially in N and NW India but he made populist promises and won on those.

I personally don't think this is a good move.
 
A half Italian cannot be running India and lead 1 billion Indians.

True that. Pepperoni pizzas are against their religion. :mrgreen:
 
What is going on in the world that all these social conservative parties are coming to power?
 
Indian sexually transmitted democracy just met the most powerful condom known to man! Ultraconservatism.

Calling the BJP the hindu nationalist party would be like calling the GOP the christian nationalist party. Very inaccurate.
 
huh? Modi isn't italian.

You don't really know about Indian politics. Ruling Congress party is headed by half-Italian. Correction - she is pure Italian and son is half italian

The reason they lost was cuz people won't accept Italiano
 
It is a backlash against the threat of Islam. Wait until the backlash comes to Europe, it is going to be very, very nasty.

I think it is already in force. France went ape**** when they legalized same sex marriage.

Unlike in Europe, muslims have been living in India for about 1100 years.
 
Yes, they invaded and have cause problems for centuries!

And converted. A lot of people converted to Islam. The first few centuries after it came into existence... Islam was a pretty seductive religion from many standpoints. Victory after victory in every way they fought. The only ones who managed to hold them back was the Byzantines. The other empires and kingdoms fell the ground.

When you have some people conquering all of arabia and north africa and all the way to india in about 300 years and claiming that God is on their side, you kinda have to scratch your head and think that maybe they're on to something and there is a god who favors them. Ofc, that was back then. Now it's pretty clear it's not.

Also, not having your head cut off is a pretty big selling point for converting to islam.

That's a simple explanation to counter the fact that a lot of people in the early days of the Xth century did see islam as the true religion and converted willingly.
All of north africa and east africa that got conquered by islam converted and even adopted arabic as their main language.
Yes, arabic wasn't always the language in north africa. They spoke latin (well, some version of latin) until they were conquered by the islamic caliphate. And before they spoke latin they spoke something else, similar to greek because they spoke whatever the phoenicians spoke which spoke a variant of greek.

The only ethnolinguistic group that didn't change it's language was the persians (iran) who still have farsi. But that goes into the fact that they are shiite not sunni... and since farsi didn't get replaced with arabic it's why afghanistan is a predominantly farsi speaking country as opposed to Pakistan which speaks arabic mainly.
 
Obama has killed a lot of muslims. What's the difference?

don't think Obama or even bush ever wanted to fight people for being Muslim

Simple only in the sense that its absolutely true.
