Are you Pakistani? Are you a terrorist? The questions Muslim children face at school

Stereotypes about the Muslim community have entered into classrooms and playgrounds, seeping in from the polarising rhetoric prevailing in the larger world of politics, society, mass media and social media

@shibaprasad wow! If you search Rohini Sight tweets she talks of a 6 year old Zoya. This moron is spewing venom using a 9 year old Zoya. Salil Thripathi was spewing venom using his mother... In short everyone is an expert in spewing venom & you are peddling this nonsense. The least educated like you can do is leave kids out of your agendas! But no! Btw I have never come across a parent who does not let his Hindu child shy away from a Muslim ones. The Muslim parent is always guarded!

@TheSecularOne
You are a so called "Liberal" and you are calling another least educated because he doesn't share the same view on one thing as you. Great going!

Whether you like it or not, the divide is pretty much there and deep rooted in the society. I just highlighted that with a toot and you, a so called liberal got triggered. Great going Sir. πŸ™

@shibaprasad who is refusing there is a divide. When you have 2 religions there will be a divide. As for bearing a liberal I soak in view from all sides & decide. Where have you presented evidence to prove the nonsense you peddled? Not a shred. And then to bgive sermons to me he side! LOL. Don't blabber about my liberalism. You are a bloody bigot pushing this nonsense without proof. Just like you pushed suicides & consumer spending! I have evidence for both while you can only blabber!

@TheSecularOne What nonsense! I even presented articles which cited about Suicide rates of farmers and data insufficiency.

Then you said, Farmers suicide is just like normal suicide. And we need to see how it is fairing against the normal suicide rate. At that point I thought it is worthless to carry on the conversation. If Farmers suicide is like normal suicide then why the Data hasn't been presented for like, 4th year in a row?

Anyways you want data, you got it explicitly here:

Over 12,000 Maharashtra farmers committed suicide in 3 years: Government.
indiatoday.in/india/story/maha

Now what category of people belonging to a normal profession has done that? IT? Core? Government? Please present your data. And keep in mind the statistics is only of Maharsthra.

@shibaprasad again you are lying. I did not say farmer suicides are like normal suicides. I will never toot in ignorance like you do. All I said was find out total suicide percentage & look at farmer suicide percentage and I suspect... I used that word .. suspect it will be more or less same... So I was speculate while you are lying plain & simple & I don't appreciate lies !!

@TheSecularOne

That's what I said in the last toot. In Maharashtra alone 12,000 farmers committed suicide in 3 years. That's approximately 11 suicides per day for 3 fricking years man! Of one profession, belonging to one state!!! You can't be that naive thinking it should be close to total suicide %!

@shibaprasad btw 2009 is showing more than 17,000 suicides. This is a 30% drop from there!

@TheSecularOne

The number 12,000 is only for one state sir ji in 3 years! And 17,000 in 2009 isn't! 😐

@TheSecularOne
How to extrapolate that? When there's a change in external conditions?

Even when only Maharshtra alone there is a case of 4000 suicides, which is only 1 state and approximately 30% of the data available last, then don't you think the mathematical model would see a huge change of parameters in order to extrapolate?

@TheSecularOne

All this could have been avoided if the correct data would have been released honestly. But...well. πŸ‘

@shibaprasad lol. Look without data you peddled that crap. There are 100 things I don't like what Govts do but that doesn't mean I push crap. It has become a fad these days. Anyways farmer suicides are down from 2009 is a fact that got established. So see you till next time πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ‘

@TheSecularOne
Yeah it is fad, if it contradicts your POV.

And yeah your sentence is incomplete. Farmer suicides are down from 2009 upto 2016.* And as we have seen, only 1state contributes what is like 30% of total suicide of 2016. So doesn't need much rocket science to understand it has gone down or up since 2016.

Anyways. πŸ‘

@shibaprasad no POV here. I will speak imon data & made assumptions based on data while you folks cooked up data !!

@TheSecularOne
Lol. Never cooked up any data. I also made assumptions which were more reasonable in line with the trend. But yeah, you opted to be in oblivion. So fine with me. (Y)

@shibaprasad where did you out forth your assumptions ? Anyway suicides are less than 2009. So Govt must have done something better! Agree & move on !

@shibaprasad and when I say Assumption it was based on historical data & your cooked up data πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

@shibaprasad looks like everything goes for a toss. 2016 saw 2,30,000 suicides in India... 12,000 for farmers. So as a percentage it's very very low for farmers !!
