Hindus in Hindu Rashtra (Sanctioned Apartheid) by Anand Ranganathan 2023 HB New

Description: Hindus in Hindu Rashtra (Eighth-Class Citizens and Victims oBy Anand Ranganathan In this searing commentary, the author addresses those who claim that India is now a totalitarian, fascist Hindu Rashtra (nation). They pose a thought-provoking question: What kind of Hindu Rashtra is this, where the Hindu majority finds themselves reduced to eighth-class citizens?The author points out the numerous instances where Hindus face discrimination and hostility in their own country. They highlight the attacks on Hindu festivals and processions, such as Ram Navami, Hanuman Jayanti, and Durga Pooja, which are met with impunity. The author questions the kind of Hindu Rashtra where even Garba celebrations, a cultural dance form, are subjected to violence.Furthermore, they raise concerns about the statements made by a sitting Prime Minister, who suggests that minorities have the first right to resources. This sentiment raises questions about the treatment of Hindus as the majority population.The author then highlights the plight faced by Kashmiri Hindus, who have been forced to flee their homes and become refugees in their own land. They contrast this with the government's decision to resettle Rohingya Muslims, while neglecting the return of Kashmiri Hindus, who are the land's original inhabitants.The judiciary is also called into question for its inability to prosecute those responsible for the rape, murder, and ethnic cleansing of Hindus in the past. The author questions the kind of Hindu Rashtra where justice is denied to Hindus who have been victims of violence.Another concerning aspect pointed out is the exclusive control of Hindu temples by the state, where Hindus have to beg for permission to celebrate their festivals on Waqf land. Meanwhile, the government allegedly seizes hundreds of thousands of acres of temple land, causing temples to lose significant rental income.The discriminatory nature of the Right to Education Act is highlighted, as it only affects Hindu schools, forcing many of them to shut down. The author questions why only Hindu educational institutions are targeted while those belonging to other religions are unaffected.The glorification of historical figures like Aurangzeb and Tipu, who perpetrated large-scale Hindu genocides, by the state through publications, road and city names, and festivals, is seen as another indication of the questionable nature of this supposed Hindu Rashtra.Moreover, the author brings attention to a proposed law that would have held only Hindus accountable in a communal riot, even if they were in the minority, such as in Kashmir. This selective targeting of Hindus further challenges the perception of a fair and equal Hindu Rashtra.The author questions court judgments and legislative enactments that appear to reform only Hindu religious practices while leaving those of other religions untouched. They cite the reversal of decisions like the Shah Bano case as evidence of this biased approach.Another point of contention is the Places of Worship Act, which denies Hindus the right to correct historical injustices and reclaim thousands of demolished temples. This denial of their legitimate grievances further undermines the notion of a Hindu Rashtra.The author also criticizes the Waqf Act, which supposedly gives overarching powers to Muslims to declare a 1500-year-old Hindu temple to be on Islamic land, despite Islamic history being only 1300 years old. This apparent bending of historical facts raises concerns about the fairness of religious rights in a Hindu Rashtra.In conclusion, the author rejects the notion that India is a Hindu Rashtra. They argue that the treatment of Hindus in their own country reflects a state-sanctioned apartheid system, where rights and equality are seemingly only pretenses. The author's commentary sheds light on the experiences and grievances of the Hindu majority, challenging the narrative of a harmonious and egalitarian Hindu Rashtra.
