Collective victimhood drives Hindu revenge more than raw negative emotions do

Evidence

Figure 1 shows how when collective victimhood of Hindus increase and has associated negative emotions with it increase, the propensity to act in a revengeful manner goes up. However, this propensity goes down if the feelings of collective victimhood are low, even though, the associated negative emotions are high. This emphasises the primacy of collective victimhood in the case of Hindus. — R. C. Tripathi, R. Kumar, and V. N. Tripathi, When the Advantaged Feel Victimised, 114
