Isn't this is in UP? This is an image that will haunt us.
In the quest to be seen as progressive every single cultural marker of Hindus is being destroyed by the very people who have ridden to power on the back of Hindu votes (2)
The image of that corpulent tub of lard holding on to the neck of that girl shall remain etched as a marker of our subjugation at the hands of the very people who have used us and now abuse us (3)
We are worthless vote banks. If they could they would harvest our fingers and mount then on sticks to use as vote-pushers. That is all we are - vote-pushers (4)
Push the button they say and we will give you back your culture, your heritage and what we get is this (5)
A father beaten in front of that little girl and when she cries for her father that tub of lard ragdolls her. (6)
51% pollution cones from industrial and construction-waste, 27% from vehicle emission, &17% from crop burning but what do we attack - seasonal crackers
*comes
60% of our electricity comes from thermal power plants. 95% of PM 2.5 comes from vehicular emissions and thermal power plants but we shall attack deepawali because we can (7)
Tomorrow if that girl goes out of the Hindu fold don't blame that girl. Don't even blame that tub of lard. Blame yourselves because of you helplessness & for having placed trust in such imbeciles (8)
Every single firecracker shop is setup after taking a loan and it is for a week. To destroy that so callously is to destroy livelihoods. (9)
And yes, this is what it is. The unvarnished truth:
Every arm of the state has been weaponized to destroy all cultural markers of Hindus under the gaze under the gaze of the very people who claim the be protectors of our culture and demand our allegiance (10)
Weep indeed but also wake up to the reality of their real agenda:
And continue to blame Nehru even after getting an opportunity twice to set the record straight. Shame on you (11)

This thread...The Islamists have always been better at propaganda & pushing their agenda. Hinduphobia does not have the kind of resonance that Islamophobia has because the Islamists have worked hard at pushing that narrative.
Most people (at least those who matter when it comes to setting the narrative) will make a distinction between Islam and terrorism - it is always - "Islam is a peaceful religion but terrorism is a result of a few misguided people who have misinterpreted the holy book
The reality however is very different - Islamic fundamentalism is a product of the fundamentals of the religion itself but that shall never be said - not by anyone - have often wondered if it is fear or favor or a combination of both

1. I am sick and tired of the hypocrisy of the BJP/Sangh Parivar's double-speak on temples in general and Sabarimala in particular. They were fully behind the attempt to break tradition and made a U-turn when they saw the Hindu backlash. Short thread documenting their hypocrisy
2. Here is RSS' Bhaiyyaji Joshi saying clearly that he and the Sangh support the entry of women
3. An old report from the Indian Express: "No reason to ban women from Sabarimala: RSS"
