Narendra Modi and the Rise of Hindu Fascism
November 26, 2017 @ 8:30 am - 10:30 am
In the election of 2014, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won a clear majority of seats in the Indian parliament and Narendra Modi became the prime minister. BJP was always a right-of-center Hindu party. Under Modi the fascist wing of the party is dominant. This wing is anti everything that is not high caste Hindu. Muslims, Dalits, Christians, beef eaters and non-Hindi speaking people are the enemy. Muslims, Journalist, and leaders of the anti-Hindutva resistance have been killed and assaulted at will abetted by Modi and his acolytes. The resemblance to 1930s Germany is striking. Atish Sen, EHST member, will address this topic for our program.
