Anti-Muslim Campaigns and Violent Acts in Recent Years in India, Making it a More Marginalized State!

      India is currently ruled by a Prime Minister, Narindra Modi and his part BJP is verdicted of grand genocide of Muslims of Gujarat. Roy has shown us a glimpse of how people were massively killed, women and girls were raped and kidnapped, properties and lands were burnt, and millions of people were displaced. The reason was the Chief Minister of the State of Gujarat was the same Narindra Modi, who was given a title by his masters as “Gujarat Ka Lala”, discussed again and again in this very novel by Arundhati Roy. She mourns over the social and cultural decline of Indian people who have made him a prime minister of India where not only Muslims but many other communities following different faiths live. What is the future of a state where a man with a genocidal is in rule for the second term?

India is a place where Muslims are either killed, beaten up or burnt on the name of cow slaughtering. Ironically, human life is less precious for Hindus than an animal and no judicla or legal actions are taken against these criminals because they are state protected. Roy has pointed it out clearly in the novel, and the brutality of extremist doesn’t even recognize as if a mob is killing really some Muslims or a Lower Caste Hindu. A case of Saddam Hussain’s is presented in the novel for readers to look at the widespread psyche of hatred and killing for the sake of fun or a show of lust for more power over the already oppressed ones. It means that the Indian communities are more marginalized and more subaltern forms have been formed with open killings of Muslims and Dallits, and even Christians. Muslim actors, singers and intellectuals who are born Indians are reportedly threatened many times by the extremist Hindus. Actors, singers and sports persons from Pakistan were banned and threatened to be killed if seen or heard in India. Despite the fact that they were called by Indian producers and managers with legal work permits. It all shows hostility and hatred amongst the ruling Hindi majority, and here is no work of white man in creating this situation as Gayatri Spivak has a single sided opinion, and has not updated her readings and observation like Arundhati Roy has done so far.

3.6.4 Narindra Modi as Prime Minister is an example of start of Hindu Colonial Rule

   

  

Arundhati Roy in one of her interviews in 2018 to a foreign media channel openly said that India should be declared as a “Hindu Colonial State” unlike the secular and interfaith status which was set by its founders, right from its birth in 1947. She is open in her boycott of the current political system and by not accepting a killer as her prime minister.

If we look at the philosophy of Rashtriya Savek Sangh (RSS), the mother organization of Bhartya Janata Party (BJP), then the whole theory and pratical steps are understandable. RSS was founded during colonial rule with a vision that after independence from the British Colonial Rule, there will be a state purely dedicated to serve Hindus of elite castes. The Hindustan was expressed to be the land of their gods (devtas), and it would be cleansed from the impurities of the lower caste hindus and of other faiths. Muslims, Christians, Buddhists, Jains, Adivasi castes and other communities have to accept Hinduism as their religion otherwise they would be considered the servants of High Cast Brahman Hindus. No person from other faith can keep any form of assets or properties.

       BJP under the ruler ship of Narindra Modi, servant of RSS theology is fastly moving towards the same objective. They had announced it before 2019 eletions that rest of things have been settled. Only the special status of Occupied Jammu and Kashmir will be abolished as per their actual constitution, and secondly no non-Hindu would be allowed to hold any property or asset. They can serve their masters and earn their bread and butter. The recent election results have shown two pictures, either these were rigged or Hindu community of upper castes is unanimous in making India, a Hindu Colonial State under the leadership of Gujarat ka Lala means Narindra Modi, and along with his masters who stay behind but order as per their vision. If it happens then there will be countless more of Mulaqat Ali, Saeeda begum, Anjum, Tilo, Saddam Hussain, Musa Yeswi, Arifa, and Miss Jabeen.
