'My problem is with "started after Modi" part.

I don't know how you think one kind of intolerance is worse than the other...'

lord_labakudoss:

"Intolerance" of any kind is bad. The answer to your question is in the part of my posting that you did not quote! Here it is, in its entirety:

Modi didn't start "this trend of controlling what's on your plate", but the extreme manifestations of intolerance started after Modi became the Prime Minister. The killing of an innocent man by fanatic hooligans (instigated by a temple priest), threat to decapitate the democratically elected Chief Minister of a State in the Democratic Republic of India because he said he might eat beef, and the police (controlled by the Central Government) raid of a canteen in New Delhi owned and operated by the Government of a State in India [http://www.dailymail.co.uk/indiahome...uffalo.htmlare] are some of the manifestations and examples of what appear to be "sanctioned" actions by "kar sevaks" of Modi's party.

When we are discussing current events, what is/was happening in other countries and what others have done in the past cannot be used as an excuse or justification for the governing party and its volunteers continuing to harass, attack and and kill people for their way of life. What happened in the past was bad; but we don't correct that situation by doing more organized atrocities on people we don't like.

Regards to you too!
