In case you thought vilifying immigrants and religious minorities was strictly a Western phenomenon, Indian PM Narendra Modi used his Independence Day Speech a couple of weeks ago to announce a "high-powered demography mission" because, "when demographic change takes place - especially in border regions - it creates a threat to national security." He was specifically targeting Bangladeshi and Rohingya immigrants, most of whom are Muslim.

That said, I'm hardly any kind of expert on Hindutva generally or any of the parties that advocate for it specifically. It's been on my radar for years, but I've never really found a point of entry for reading up on it. If there's a book or two that folks could recommend, I'd be grateful to hear it.

From the article:

Why the government is subjecting some of its most vulnerable citizens to fear and displacement became clear on Independence Day, when the prime minister – without uttering the “M” word –announced the launch of a “high-power demography mission,” making what was unofficial, official.

“Today, I wish to warn the nation of a grave concern and challenge,” said Narendra Modi. “As part of a deliberate conspiracy, the demography of the country is being altered. Seeds of a new crisis are being sown. These infiltrators are snatching away the livelihoods of our youth. These infiltrators are targeting our sisters and daughters. This will not be tolerated.” And so on.

Modi offered no details on how the mission would work. But trace the arc from past events to unfolding developments, add in the disparate actions already underway against suspected “infiltrators” and a clearer, if unsettling, picture emerges.

In Modi’s India, citizenship is a test you may never pass

The government wants its most vulnerable citizens to produce documents that prove citizenship but won’t say what that proof might be.

"Kashmiris suffer most as Hindu fascism surges across India: Activists

Civil society activists have said that India has witnessed an alarming surge of Hindu fascism since Narendra Modi assumed power, turning the country into a criminal fascist enterprise driven by Hindutva dominance.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the activists said that Muslims in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir are facing the cruelest brunt of these fascist policies, as the Modi regime is systematically silencing dissent and crushing democratic freedoms across the occupied territory. They added that religious minorities across India are also being pushed to the margins through discriminatory laws and state-sponsored hate campaigns.

The activists noted that Modi is advancing the fascist vision of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which has been mainstreamed into the very core of Indian politics. They pointed out that hate crimes against Muslims and other minorities have surged to alarming levels under Modi’s rule, threatening peace and stability in South Asia."

#^India’s war on the Mughal Empire



The profound legacies of the Mughal Empire, forged through a remarkable fusion of Central Asian and Indian traditions, and of Persian and Sanskrit worlds, are now under siege from a mystical, and mythical, vision of India’s past.
