@wavydavy9816 Patel and Braverman were the subject of my point. They exemplify the Hindu right who have a long history (going back centuries in India) of aligning themselves with whomever is in power. Survivalists. Add to that their close ties with both Israel and India’s RSS, both of whom are fascistic, anti-Islamic regimes. It therefore seems likely (particularly with Braverman’s rhetoric), that they are leveraging the abundant Islamophobia in the ether for their own political gain. Similarly, their unconditional support for Israel (even without mandate in the case of Patel), is the other dimension of the above point - pandering for personal gain.

You’d think so, but to understand that, you would have to understand the history of the Indian subcontinent and role of the British in it.

@mjwilliamsb2676 that doesn’t negate my point, in fact her own rhetoric supports my point.

@wavydavy9816 not a problem. Actually, these factors are not that well known among the average white Briton, save for academics. It’s always important to know what motivates people. I hope that now gives some idea of why these hatemongers do what they do. To be clear, it’s not so much about religion, more about punching down, the politicization of religion, selfishness and a long history of survivalist thinking among certain sections of the Indian community. I recommend ‘The Anarchy’ by William Dalrymple for more.

It’s a specific term for a specific type of hate, like anti-semitism
