Hindu victimhood claims run on historical memories, not discrete events.
Evidence
It may be mentioned that the context of Hindu–Muslim relations in India and the cognitive frame used by the Hindus for their victimhood are very different from the contexts of Jews and Palestinians in Israel, Africans and Afrikaners in South Africa or Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda and also the cognitive frames they use to give meaning to their collective victimisation which is more event based and less based on historical memories as in the case of Hindus. — R.

- QUESTION: The chapter presumably later specifies which historical memories (Islamic invasions, partition?); worth chasing how far back the Hindus’ grievance narrative reaches.
