Just a differing term for what colonial means I guess. :shrug:
What you are doing is saying that European colonialism which is an extremely serious issue for the world is no different and should be treated no differently than movements of people from hundreds of years before them and the resulting conversions of faith among Indigenous peoples.
You posted a link to an article that is only about anti-colonial efforts to change names of European colonialism and claim it gives justification for erasing names that have stood for many more centuries.
More to the point the Muslim people of India are Indian - they are indigenous to the area and did not stop being so when converted nearly one thousand years ago. White settlers are not on the same level and the moves to remove the names left by white settlers that have no relationship to the people living there are not the same thing no matter how many times you want to shrug. There are religious minorities in India who are just as legitimately Indian as any others who live there and that is a distinction that sets the European settlers from the last 250 years apart from the Muslim conversions from nearly a htousand years ago.
The Muslim people of India is not small. 11% of the world's Muslims live there. Today. They are not settlers. Islam arrived in India due to the Trukic invasions but the present muslim population of India are not all their descendants as you pretend by your comparisons. The names that are being erased are not all imported Turkic cultural products but have developed in India over centuries. India is not the one-religion thing that the BJP is trying to sell.
You are shrugging to advocate genocide. Just becuase it is not white people involved does not make it better. You are making the same argument people in the former Yugoslavia used to attack people in Kosovo except you are trying to merge it into legitimate resistance to modern European colonialism.
The Muslim names you are advocateing being erased are from people who have contributed greatly to India and who were very much invovled in the efforts to secure independence.
