  • Monthly Interaction May 2020
    Editorial Open Conflict between Hindutva and Islam The generations that follow will read about this time in their history books and would have trouble believing the blatant hypocrisy of today. Those posing to be defenders of peace and righteousness are the ones openly terrorizing minorities of those weaker than them. It is a difficult time to comprehend, even for the ones who are living it. Racism, sexism, terrorism is deep rooted but on the outside it is shunned by the civilized societies of the west. They preach the rule of the jungle where every act is justified as long as you have the power to evade the consequences. This hypocrisy is visible in the stance USA and its allies towards India. Western allies led by USA, at one time, wouldn't stop with their 'fight against terrorism' mantra. They vowed to vanquish extremism, attacked and destroyed countries like Afghanistan and Iraq, Syria, Libya and other in pursuance of that mission, sponsored Arab spring to support whom they believed to be oppressed, destabilized countries like Syria in order to overthrow what they believed to be the tyrannical regime. If you look at it, they did everything to spread terrorism, all the while wearing the drape of self-righteousness. If they were really sincere to their claim of countering terrorism and defending the weak their first targets would have been Israel and India. Israel is ruthlessly suppressing the voice of Palestinians and India is following Israel's example in dealing with people of Kashmir. Indians have, however, taken it one step further and is now preaching its own brand of Nazism in the guise of 'Hindutva'.
