India is becoming a Hindu-fascist enterprise
Al JazeeraOver the last few months, authorities in Indian states governed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party have started bulldozing the homes, shops, and places of business that belong to Muslims merely suspected of participating in anti-government protests. On June 16, for example, tens of thousands of young men furious with the BJP government’s new army recruitment policy went on a violent rampage across North India. Even after high-ranking BJP officials publicly insulted everything Muslims hold most sacred, the party did not lose the backing of, or receive meaningful criticism from, its core support base. Other individual protestors, one from an important political party, All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen called for hanging and others called for beheading – all of which serve to confirm every stereotype about Muslims that the Hindu right works so hard to perpetuate.
