1. The election of Narendra Modi as the choice for millions in the world’s largest democracy is a bit galling to those whose concept of ‘democratic’ resembles Lenin’s armed force against the elected government of Alexander Kerensky in revolutionary Russia.

2. Yet even before Modi’s election in what proved to be a pivotal moment in Indian democracy the anti-Hindu blood hounds were out in force. Of these Priyamvada Gopal is one the most prominent.

3. Gopal teaches English literature at the University of Cambridge but her true passion is formulating hate speech against Hindu sentiments from the pages of the notorious British anti-Hindu rag, the Guardian on 14 May 2014.

4. Committed to ‘liberal’ principles, the Guardian has at its heart a very noxious form of updated White Man’s Burden when liberalism and progress meant helping the lesser races through uplifting them to become little brown and black versions of themselves.

5. More often though they were seen as servile races who had better learnt their place or risk extermination
