In India's Bitter Politics, Who Pays the Price for Hate Spread By the Powerful?

The Quint  

As many will recall, in late June, prohibitory orders were imposed in Rajasthan for a month after two men hacked a tailor, identified as Kanhaiya Lal, to death inside his shop in Udaipur and posted a gory video online of the incident. They claimed that it was in retaliation for the victim supporting the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Nupur Sharma and her insulting remarks about the Prophet of Islam. A few days later, a court also passed the opinion that the entire tragic mess was due to the reportedly insulting remarks made by Sharma. I did that with deep sadness, not just for the human loss but also because sadness is inevitable when decent human beings are forced by circumstances to condemn acts that are totally alien to their natures, be it a Hindu condemning a saffron lynching or a Muslim condemning an Islamist murder.
