terrorism started from Sikhs not Muslims and till today your people only following it. No need to teach matured person like you so understand the logic of your people.
Is constitution said to make illegal relationship with ladies without marrying them to fulfill your desire? Is your community got the message from constitution to rape in the bus and to kill innocent girl? Constitution made for good will of the citizens not to torture them.
there is no deference between you and Israel but remember we fear Almighty.. Not you or them!
rikacha , nimma root navare kanri , foot alla ... hahaha ...
You cannot expect more than these goondas who dont heistate to worship anything. they don't know what is God
Here we cant show patience or silence.
When justice fails, then Tit for tat is only the ultimate solution.

Muzzies are thinking by doing this they can bring down modi from PM post . no ... not at all possible . there is a deep polarisation even in villages it isnow being felt . by 2024 , India will be hindu rashtra for sure . to amend constitution 2/3 majority needed and all states if we make congress mukht we are done . with coopearting with israelis , defintely we can achieve this . ummah is so weak that it is already divided , no body has guts to speak against India if it does so ... even if they speak , millitarily they are not on par with India .gulf countries want USD from India , for their cheap petrol . hahaha
No one can change the faith by forcing anything.
bitter truth for RSS
Very dangerous for the future of India. Rising intolerance, forcing others what one practices, poking nose in other's matters, dictating what to eat what to wear, all these will eventually lead to sectarian fights, genocides, civil war etc., India may end up in situation similar to Iraq and Iran. BJP sarkar and Sangh parivar must control their bhakts before it is too late.
Constitution even did not say to eat or drink :P
By looking at their face they look very papa, but they raised voice against what other side party asked. strange but true.
What if they call Jai Mata Di or not?
accused must be punished who are they to beat the innocents.
my foot....
Its Their Wish any constitution dint asked all the citizen to call anything particularly.
