From my understanding the curriculum will still contain both evolution and the periodic table but in other class years. Not sure why the media are jumping from reducing the amount the two topics are being taught to it being a decision based on promoting Christianity, but it seems to be part of the wider left-wing mantra of "fighting Islamophobia". The children will be taught the topics before they graduate high school nevertheless.

This has been a long term trend in Europe and Asia as well, going back into the millennial era. I remember getting into arguments with American left wingers and LGBTQ Americans saying that the lack of gay bars in Asia wasn't a sign of homophobia because gay bars were in decline in Europe as well (but in fact were on the rise in the US). A combination of being able to socialise on the internet and at mainstream establishments, combined with declines in drinking alcohol, has led to a decline in gay bars in the respective regions as well.

Indian Americans were/are actually exceptional in that they tended to be more likely to be nonchalant about the Hindu-Muslim conflict compared to other Indian diaspora groups - e.g. Canada/Europe/Australia etc... were and are much more Islamophobic than in the US. But it might be symbolic of the lack of Islamophobia in the US combined with the more pro-melting-pot mentality in the US compared to other countries.

The caste system is also present in Islam and Christianity ethnoreligious communities, but absent from the Buddhist communities. De facto casteism is worse in Pakistan than in much of India (especially South India where most techies come from). Though they may have converted for that reason, the Islamic community has its own caste system, and only in the Buddhist community and large tracts of Indian Hindus is the caste system non-evident or only slightly evident (e.g. Sri Lanka).

This never made any sense in a global context.

Islamophobia has always been a thing in Europe for example. Hindus and Muslims have always lived a somewhat segregated lifestyle in Indian culture as well (similar to Hispanics in the US). If you managed to merge Hindus and Muslims, you would have the European Islamophobia left over, and the Indians would be Islamophobia without the positives of Hinduism (look at the situation in the UK).

Furthermore as far as I can tell, there is still the Hindu - Muslim division in most of the western diaspora as well. You get second and third generation Indians LGBTQ who still divide themselves into Hindus and Muslims, Hindu women who will identify with the Indian right wing etc... so I do not see how the movement is "growing" when it has always been there.

True. But you can also generalise that people in a certain country react differently to people in another country for the purpose of identity politics. A politician calling a person or party "racist" only makes sense if a meaningful number of people of that ethnicity believe it to be racist.

Reading some of the comments here, I think too many people (notably quite a few Americans) don't quite understand how severe cultural and philosophical differences between countries and cultures can be. It can very even between two people of the same race but different countries (say British Indian and Indian American). People in a certain country can have completely different ideas about what racism offends them compared to the same racial minority in another country.

It's famous that the Portuguese and Spanish live with their parents until 30s (increasingly 40s) and usually close to their grand parents.

All of them.

I often attend a lot of events where you get diaspora from across the world, and one thing that all the Indians will agree on is that Indian American don't mix with natives as much as Indians in other parts of the world. This would be a type of racism in most European and Asian racism philosophies.

The other point is that most minorities in the US are highly assimilated into American culture and American norms. And most Americans have had very little experience of anything more drastic than Canada or possibly Hispanics (which is itself a very American concept). Americans drastically tend to underestimate just how different other cultures are and quickly jump to racism - I've been in a lot of situations in third countries where Indian Americans and other Americans call racism on "problems" they have that are considered normal in places like the UK or Australia.

And also just to point out that racial minorities have been mixing in Europe, Africa and Asia for thousands of years. Look at immigration in the Roman era for example.
