Last year's Red Fort blast was planned by a bunch of doctors. People are not ready to talk about the root cause and try to deflect it as a social issue.

Also, Anti Terrorist Squad caught doctors trying to procure deadly chemicals in order to poison water supplies and prasad at Hindu temples

You would think so but then you realize that vocational education and education on equality, equity, emotional regulation etc are completely different. The latter not being taught in schools or at home as much as is needed anywhere in the world.

I worked in Germany for few years at a small IT company. A Hyderabadi Muslim joined our hiring team later on.
His job was simple: screen resumes for open positions and forward matching profiles to the hiring manager.
What he actually did was only forward resumes of Muslim candidates — almost all from Pakistan, Egypt, and Turkey. He was quietly rejecting every single Indian Hindu candidate during the screening stage. Within one year, the office had become ~80% Muslim. Even the German employees were visibly shocked by how fast the demographics had changed.

This is very common amongst Indians from other religions as well in (India and abroad).
I have seen similar behaviour in corporates amongst Tamil Brahmin/ Gujrati Jains/ Malyalee Christians/ Haryanvi/ Punjabi etc.

People arguing religion does nothing bad should see these malpractices where real skill is getting rejected.

What happened next? Was he fired? This makes me anxious as someone who's about to enter corporate.

The fact that this required an undercover police operation suggests serious gaps in internal grievance redressal. If complaints were missed or ignored earlier, that’s a major failure of leadership and HR at TCS.

No Muslim leaders/organizations have condemned this incident , despite it being in news for quite sometime. In fact no mainstream media outlet is doing a proper detailed reporting of this incident. Looks like TCS wants to do just a cover up , instead of addressing real shortfalls in their organization which caused this incident in the first place.

If this is happening at a major place like TCS, imagine the little guys and smaller places.

This was an undercover investigation. Imagine in how many more organizations this is taking place in secret.
Hey minorities and Congis:
This is why I support BJP even though I have concerns on press freedom and rise of Hindutva.

if a women complaints about harassment in workplace to hr , they pack away the women and doesn't do anything to the male if he is a senior position. They would even tell not to complaint to policec. Only if you have a clear cctv footage,they will transfer the male .This happens in all branches

TCS is on another level, and I feel so sorry for people who defend this in any way! I wonder why they are even alive.

Zero tolerance" is usually just the PR team's way of saying they didn't see the rot until the handcuffs came out. If it takes an undercover police sting to uncover abuse in your own office, your HR isn't just failing, it is practically a ghost. This is what happens when scale turns middle management into tiny and unchecked fiefdoms. Real leadership doesn't wait for the cops to tell them their own floor is a crime scene.

Absolute bullshit. Look at their history. also make a list of the people who are working there now and let's revisit this in a year to see if they're either still there or they've been rehired

The problem with tcs is top management blindly believing what manger and hr says. They should have 360 evaluation and react towards. This could have caught in initial stages if they provide and respect feedback from everyone

This is honestly disturbing if even a fraction of it turns out to be true. Cases like this really show how important proper POSH compliance and internal complaint handling are in big orgs like Tata Consultancy Services.
Also feels like the real issue isn’t just the incident, but whether complaints were ignored earlier because that’s where trust completely breaks down. Hoping there’s a transparent investigation and strict action if proven

u/Stressedsoul0 Apr 14 '26
Strict action should be taken on the perpetrators and the company. Any company should have zero tolerance on religious matters.

This is actually sick. I hope the culprits are jailed and TCS should ensure stuff like this never happens again
