No one should be shocked. This is just one more instance of the peddlers of Hindu supremacy being unscrupulous in the pursuit of their goals.
Education through rewritten textbooks, proscription of materials and textualised hate towards the Jews was central to the Nazi plot and storyline. The war for global domination and extermination began, as it were, in curricular battles.
After the ‘Kashmir Files’ & ‘Kerala Story’, now movies on the Godhra violence, Tipu Sultan, ’72 Hoorain threaten social peace. Also: ‘Teaser of Film on Savarkar: Lies Galore’.
Tribal communities feel that the BJP-led state government is participating in perilous communal politics by backing the Meiteis as ‘Hindus’ against the tribal people who are predominantly Christian.
India’s Hindu Right continues to pursue imperial aspirations, primarily for electoral purposes.
Letter expressing concern over the systematic targeting killing of the tribals and Christians, the destruction of Churches and Christian institutions, and appealing to the Bishops to act with decisiveness and with cohesiveness, instead of hobnobbing with the rulers.
Temples and churches hosting Iftar parties and Nabi Dinam, blending of the azaan with temple bells, Muslims helping Hindu families – all these instances add to the state’s already rich traditions. Also, review of a film, Innu Swantham Sreedharan (Yours Truly, Sreedharan).
When Sri Chandrasekhara Bharati headed the Sringeri Sharada Peetam as its 34h Acharya, the normally calm and serene pontiff expressed disgust when a group of Hindus outlined a plan to teach Muslims a lesson. This incident is worth recalling in the context of today’s politics.
Why this call? People of India today face the onslaught on the basic values of the Constitution from a regime that is determined to impose a socio-political system of Hindutva chauvinism on the multicultural, multi-religious, multilingual society thus violating the constitutional commitment to equality of all citizens.
The report highlights that Indian Muslims have been abandoned by legal and institutional frameworks, and vilified by an increasingly virulent communalism, with dark clouds of genocidal violence looming in the background. This has had a profound effect on the mental state of the community as a whole.
