If you are on mastodon you are here for good content. And from Indian twitter minority voices plays an important role, one of my favourite minority voices who isn’t scared to speak the truth to anyone is someone you should be following if you are here. He explains how minorities are treated in India. Some of you may loathe him but that’s fine, listen to him and then loathe him , so follow @OpusOfAli 💓💓

I will check out his posts thanks.
I am curious, what groups would you consider "minority" in india. From the perspective of an American or a Dutch person (the cultures I know best) an indian would be considered a minority, of course in india they are the majority. So what groups are usually the minorities there?
@freemo @OpusOfAli Hindus are majority, Muslims, Christians, sikhs are the larger groups of religious minorities who have faced communal violence. Parsis, Jains are religious minorities who are not largely affected. Muslims right now are targeted by the fascists ruling India
@Deepsealioness @freemo @OpusOfAli Plus Dalits communities were persecuted by #Brahminical powers for god knows how long.
@Deepsealioness @freemo @OpusOfAli
As a minority I second this.
@Karthikdeva @freemo @OpusOfAli yes Dalits are a part of Hindus but they are treated as lower class still and face extreme violence
