    4 arrested for making objectionable remarks on Pulwama attack in UP - Times of India
    This are comments made by Indian muslims citizens
    When abhinandan varthaman was caught by Pakistan recently, many Indian muslims were tweeting , Sale ko maar do(kill him)
    I was really pained reading those tweets.
    Isnt the soldier fighting for all the Indian citizens (religion excluded)
    Recent incidents made me post the unfortunate viewpoint and I stick by it

    @GeetaKashyap would your response be any different if a Hindu friend had forwarded it?

    If I tell someone not to send me certain types of videos or messages in a 1-1 or an intimate small group communication, I hope they respect my request. Just as OP's friend should have respected her preference.

    Logic, faith, discussion of religion, what falls under free speech, etc., is a different discussion. I have learnt the very hard way that in the current times (past few years), these are almost best not discussed in forums on in person. Except with a few very close friends (believers and non-believers), I avoid such discussion.

    Long time ago, in a widely watched American Television Program, Morarji Desai, the PM of India talked to Dan Rather (a CBS-TV reporter) about urine therapy. And went so far as to suggest that it is a very cost-effective preventative mediciine for all the people in a poor country like India.

    The problem of expat Indians (or "Indian" looking brown people from other countries in South Asia) is that they are made to feel a level of "ownership" to whatever their ancestral nation is going through -- whether it be a positive achievement or an idiotic pronouncement from a nouveau neta. If one is not a mature grownup, but just in elementary or highschool, the pain of this thrust-upon-ownership of far away goings on could be real tough on the mind.

    The movie Raazi is based on a true account.

    The 38 CRPF personnel killed in the Pulwama terror attack included Muslim(s).

    44 soldiers were killed in the attack. I respect all of them.
    The perpetrator was identified as Adil Ahmad Dar (alias Adil Ahmad Gaadi Takranewala or Waqas Commando), a 22-year old from Kakapora in India

    Whatsapp or whatscrap as I like to call it is a breeding ground for spreading false and useless information. I only use it to message people and stay in touch. I do not bother reading anything else that people forward. It will only incite anger and cause one to lose your cool unnecessarily. There is a mute button that works well .
    Geeta, it is unfortunate that religion took over a seemingly good friendship. There is nothing wrong if you decide to end this friendship. But I would strongly recommend not affecting your relationships over WhatsApp crud.

    You asked how many Muslims work in the Indian army. I provided some facts that could help in making a rough unscientific estimate. That you respect the martyrs ( we all do) and that the perpetrator was who he was are true but not relevant to your "how many Muslims work in the Indian army" question.

    That is funny. : ) People are not stripped of citizenship just like that. It takes a lot for a citizen to lose the right to live in his country. People are not citizens of a country at the pleasure or discretion of fellow-citizens.
