Given the inauguration of the new Parliament house by the PM on RW icon Savarkar's birth anniversary, as well as the PM's desperation to overshadow Nehru,

Here's a short🧵 of some of my published pieces on these themes: Image

There is no such thing as a BJP moderate and short-sighted media must see that sooner than later.

A quick thread 🧵 why:
Moderate politicians never really existed in the BJP, nor did they in its predecessor, the Jana Sangh, or even the Hindu Mahasabha as a matter of fact - as we shall see.
In the 1940s and 50s, most RW moderates were in the Congress, which formed the post-colonial status-quo, & a large chunk of the Congress Right was in agreement with the Hindu Mahasabha on matters such as communal issues, Hindu Code Bill, cow protection and Hindi.

Things that changed in 🇮🇳 w Ram Janmabhoomi Movt/#Ayodhya/#BabriMasjid Demolition, a thread 🧵:

1. Daily, yearlong RW propaganda from the 80s onwards finally made most Hindu school kids esp in Hindi belt communal. 90s saw an increase in slurs & discrimination against Muslim kids
2. Post Kargil War, post-Godhra and pogrom, the victim community was blamed simply for their identity and targetting in all spheres of life escalated further.
3. Interfaith couples became unsafe on a larger scale than ever before.
