Indian Muslims and Christians have been forced into psychological and political isolation. Hate against minorities is part of the BJP’s ideology, but what about our police, our civil administration, our judiciary? Do they exist to facilitate the politics and project of the BJP?
Public awareness that these social media platforms are more than just meant for sharing family photographs, holiday experiences and for remembering birthdays, must grow. More users must realise that there are dark, ugly, evil, and venal aspects to these giant monopolies.
While attempts by the ruling party to control the media and the messaging are not new in India, what we see now is the use of new technology to ‘curate’ and exercise ‘centralised control’ to spread disinformation in order to harass and intimidate critics.
The public humiliation of one of the most sought after Muslim men in India is aimed at appeasing the injured manhood of those who suffer from the sense of sexual inferiority cultivated for over a century by Hindutva groups.
Hinduism is noted for its incredible diversity and its widely admired spirit of tolerance and respect for other faiths and cultures.

Social media propaganda, complete with hashtags, trends and concocted videos, seems to have one single aim: to boycott Muslim-owned and run businesses.

Janata Weekly is India’s oldest independent socialist weekly.
Ever since its founding in 1946, Janata has voiced its principled dissent against all conduct and practice that is detrimental to the cherished values of nationalism, democracy, secularism and socialism, while upholding the integrity and the ethical norms of healthy journalism. For more than seventy years now, week after week, it has continued to analyse the changes taking place in the country and the world from a socialist standpoint, and thus promote the spread of socialist ideology in the country.
Address: D-15, Ganesh Prasad, Naushir Bharucha Marg, Mumbai- 400007.
