Hindutva Terrorism: India’s Descent into Religious Extremism
November 26, 2024The rise of Hindutva ideology under the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Modi regime has triggered an alarming surge in religious extremism and state-sponsored terrorism in India.
Political experts and civil rights activists, silenced by fear of reprisal, are sounding the alarm. They assert that Hindutva is being weaponized to justify systemic violence against religious minorities, particularly Muslims.
Experts argue that the BJP’s history is steeped in bigotry and violence, a legacy amplified since its ascension to power. Sangh Parivar activists, emboldened by state support, are driving the Hindutva agenda with impunity.
“This isn’t governance; it’s religious terrorism,” warns Ghatade, a political expert. “Hindutva ideology translates into the oppression and terrorization of minorities, sanctioned by the state.”
The global community cannot afford to overlook India’s descent. Activists are urging international powers to confront Hindutva terrorism and hold the Modi government accountable for enabling this extremism.
Civil rights activists highlight the societal decay fostered by Hindutva. “BJP’s goal is clear: turn India into a Hindu state where minorities live as second-class citizens,” declares an activist.
Hindutva’s cultural imposition is relentless. Violence and intimidation are tools used to erode the identity and rights of religious minorities, transforming India into an increasingly intolerant nation.
The judiciary and government offer little reprieve. Analysts describe a judiciary complicit in shielding pro-Hindutva groups, a chilling example of state-sponsored terrorism silencing dissent and promoting extremist ideologies.
As the situation worsens, calls for global intervention grow louder. Activists demand that the international community condemn Hindutva’s rise and pressure the Indian government to end its reign of terror.
“This isn’t just India’s issue,” emphasizes an expert. “Hindutva terrorism threatens global stability and must be confronted before it spreads further.”
The Modi regime’s Hindutva-fueled governance represents a dangerous departure from secular democracy. Its systematic oppression of minorities and normalization of violence have undermined India’s unity and international standing.
The world must not remain silent. Confronting Hindutva terrorism is essential to restoring justice and protecting the diverse fabric of Indian society. Ignoring this crisis will only embolden extremists and further erode human rights.
