India's religious based politics

India playing religious politics with terrorism

En décembre 2008, le ministre indien chargé des minorités, A.R. Antulay provoqua la polémique quand il fit des commentaires insinuant que le meurtre du chef de l’unité anti-terroriste de Maharashtra par les poseurs de bombe de Mumbai était lié à ses investigations sur des terroristes hindous.

Antulay fit une séries de déclarations publiques recevant des réactions partagées de la part du public et des médias. Alors que la majorité des médias trouvèrent son enquête superficielle et incendiaire, d’autres défendirent Antulay. Un leader du congrès, Digvijay Singh déclara aux médias :

Je ne pense pas que Antulay soit dans l’erreur. Il a demandé une enquête. Qu’y a-t-il de mal à ça ?

Le Parti du Congrès considéra les commentaires de Antulay comme regrettables. Antulay déclara à la presse que, pour lui, le problème était clos et qu’il n’envisageait pas de démissionner.

Malgré la désolidarisation du Parti (et l’ordre donné par le parti à Antulay de se rétracter), la communauté musulmane indienne continuera de croire qu’elle est injustement la cible de renforcements législatifs et que ceux qui cherchent la vérité sont réduits au silence. Cet évènement démontre que le Parti s’arrêtera sans hésiter à une politique des castes et influencée par la religion dès qu’il trouvera son avantage.

  1. Its a fact now that India is surely slowly becoming more and more of a hindu extremist country as time i moving ahead.

    ATS chief’s death is surely a controversy with his family members demanding proper detailed investigation (esp. regarding his bullet-proof jacket) from a long time, but in vain till now.

    The extent of hindu extremism can be gauged from the fact that organizations with similar ideology of non-tolerance towards other religions like RSS, VHP, Shiv Sena (this obe is even non-tolerant to hindu people from different region), Bajrang dal, Hindu Sena, Sarv Hindu Dal, Ram Sena etc etc etc etc etc etc are mushrooming like bee swarms.

    Further intolerance towards others religions is not a new thing in india. From Decade old Babri masjid demolition to 1984 Sikh Riots, etc etc, all these organizations have always proved how warm they can be other people (belonging to non-hindu religions) during « TESTING » times.

    These organizations not only preach hatred and hindu extremism to get political mileage, to keep their corrupt heads in the government ( one way or the other), but in the process take advantage of the big chunk of illiterate population. Further they fool the general public belonging to Hindu religion, to join them in one way or the other by stirring controversies, regularly.

    By the extent of changes we are seeing now in the society, it will not take long for india being called a « HINDU-EXTREMIST » Country just like some countries like Pakistan are called « Fundamentally-Islamist » Country.

    Its really the time to ponder,esp. for those hindus, who are allowing/helping such people to take advantage of sentiments and create divide among old harmony between religions, whenever they get such opportunity, for their f**cking cheap (mainly political) gains !
