“The Hindu activists came to our school & wanted us to install an idol of Saraswati in the campus,”

“They claim that the school was built at a place where the idol of goddess Saraswati had existed”

Amazing. Every place is an archaeological wonder!

If they can't change it, they will occupy it. If they can't occupy it, they will demolish it.

Settler colonialism folks. Tried and true model from Israel.
Can't believe I have to say this but institutions GET TO DECIDE their own culture and the symbols they host.

Armed uneducated goons threatening violence at the school gate don't get to rewrite curriculums or install idols.
@watchthestate please note
Article says that Father Augustine Chittuparambil was forced to give kn writing that he has received this 'memorandum'
This the second case of harassment of Catholic schools by Hindu groups this year.

On Feb 22 the police registered a case against Sister Bhagya. She was accused of attempting to convert a former female staff. She had to obtain bail from the Madhya Pradesh HC to prevent her arrest

"Muslims should be beggars, not hotel owners."

The son of the man who shouted this out works in US for a M-owned company.

More: “This is a Hindu area. This hotel is owned by Muslim. It is a blot on our Hindu culture to have this hotel here”

Vile!

Hotel Blue Ivy which has a banquet hotel, restaurants, hotel rooms, coffee shops does not serve any non-vegetarian food. Not even omelettes or any egg preparation.

“So what”, another woman screams. This hotel is owned by Muslims. It is a sin for us to see them also.
The Hotel owners: One Gujarati Patel and two Gujarati Muslims all dress alike. They have no beard or skull caps. So how do they know that these are Muslims. “We can feel it. This entire area was very good. The vibes are different since this Muslim-owned hotel has come up”

Five days of riots by Hindutva groups in Tripura. From 6 to now 12 mosques in five districts have been vandalized in the last five days.

The police are watching from the sidelines. Is Tripura not worth the Home Ministry's protection? +++

Police Control Room at Agartala is refusing to comment on arson. They hung up the phone.

Not one person. Let that sink in

A 36-year-old pregnant woman, who was bleeding and in severe pain, travelled from one health centre to another, before breathing her last at her third destination, about 150 km away from her home

mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-…
"At least 5-6 pregnant tribal women have died due to complications related to pregnancy in the past one month. Also, there are many unreported cases,” said Vivek Pandit, the chairperson of Tribal Development Review Committee of Maharashtra government."

What a Shame!
Jawhar’s sub-district hospital has multiple vacancies. “And those who were hired do not report to work. They run their own clinics and hospitals which poor tribals cannot afford,”

Amazing so the hired doctors who probably get paid don't even attend the area they are assigned to

"Inflammatory content on Facebook spiked 300% above previous levels at times during the months following December 2019, a period in which religious protests swept India, researchers wrote in a July 2020 report"

This is an insane spike.

wsj.com/articles/faceb…
Facebook products (facebook and whatsapp) are awash with inflammatory content that one report linked to deadly religious riots.
Private Facebook groups made up of like-minded users generated more divisive content. Inflammatory content primarily targeted Muslims, the researchers wrote.
