In the words of activist Harsh Mander, a prominent target of the regime, the “election results of 2024 have not erased the dangers of fascism. The cadres of the Hindu Right remain powerful and motivated.”
Apart from small talk on conserving water, the prime minister had not a word to say about the open persecution of minorities in India.
Fr Stan Swamy, the Jesuit, has now become part of the Adivasi folklore of resistance. He is also a martyr to their cause of protecting their heritage, their ‘Jal, Jangal, Zameen’ from the lusting eyes of the men in political power and their crony corporate friends.
The former prime minister, whose birth anniversary is celebrated on December 25, failed Muslims and Christians when they needed him the most.
Stan Swamy has all his life supported the struggles of the poor and the marginalized resisting the plunder of their natural resources, and the crushing of their human dignity and constitutional rights.
