> Violence along religious lines is not new in India. But what played out in Sambhal — documented in interviews and court documents — crystallized a new reality where the arms of the state that once tried to play the role of referee now increasingly serve as the muscle of the forces recasting India’s secular republic as a Hindu-first nation.

India’s Hindu Right Seems Unstoppable. This City Shows How.

Muslims make up a majority in Sambhal, but after deadly clashes over a mosque, they say they the arms of the state are now stifling them.

If you were thinking #Hindutva was a recent problem, it was #ThisDayInHistory in 1948 that #MahatmaGandhi was assassinated in his home by a #FarRight Hindu #nationalist. The day is a recognized #MartyrsDay event in India due to Gandhi's rôle in the fight for independence from UK.

The taste for "#Hindutva-flavored entertainment" is an effect of the #BJP's and the majoritaian right's success in poisoning the "cultural discourse". I don't know if/how much the regional film industries taking away #Bollywood's marketshare have a similar flavor. It could be that while the highest grossing Bollywood movies are of this flavor, it is also a factor in the net decline in audience. #ARRahman

Built on a disputed site, the #RamMandir temple was opened by PM #NarendraModi on #ThisDayInHistory in 2024. A mosque occupied the site from 1528 to 1992, when it was destroyed by #Hindutva a mob. #Modi & #BJP are playing a dangerous #neofascist game & don't care who gets hurt.
Australian #evangelical missionary #GrahamStaines was burnt alive, along with his two sons (10 & 6), on #ThisDayInHistory in 1999 when #Hindutva radicals attacked his car. He had worked in India tending lepers since 1965. Current #BJP officials are linked to this and remain free.
