clarify something for me about the Railway Men
So if you haven't seen it, there's a miniseries about the Bhopal gas disaster on Netflix that came out like 3 days ago. I have not watched anything substantial from Bollywood before but the show has good actors and a sexy Indian manlet bandit and is well produced. It is worth watching so far but I haven't finished it and I have a very specific question unrelated to the gas tragedy.
I don't know much about 1980s India to know what the frick is going on during the train carriage scenes with the women and the guys who want to kill people with turbans (and the woman with the sick daughter is definitely one of those turban people but she's incognito). Can someone explain this level of Indian racism to me and why they want to slice up the turban people? Does it have anything to do with them potentially being Muslim?
Thank you and stay gay

One caveat, it wasn't Hindus(as in spontaneous mob like it happens in Hindu/Muslim riots), it was mostly members of the INC. Not that most Hindus were particularly opposed to it. Just that level of hate didn't exist on either side even then so it had to be wingcucks doing the fricked up shit on both ends. Which is why I think it hasn't particularly impacted relations.
