Occam (An Imprint of BluOne Ink)

To those who claim we are now living in a totalitarian, fascist, Hindu Rashtra, one
must ask: What kind of a Hindu Rashtra is this where a billion-strong Hindus have
been, through our parliament, through our courts, our education system, and our
constitution, reduced to not just second-class but, rather, eighth-class citizens?
What kind of Hindu Rashtra is this where Ram Navami, Hanuman Jayanti, Durga
pooja processions, and even Garba celebrations, are attacked and stoned with
impunity? What kind of Hindu Rashtra is this where a sitting Prime minister says
minorities have the first right to resources? What kind of Hindu Rashtra is this
where Hindus are forced to be refugees in their own land, where one can settle
40,000 Rohingya Muslims but not 700,000 Kashmiri Hindus, the land’s original
inhabitants; where the judiciary says it is too late to prosecute those who raped,
murdered, and ethnically cleansed lacs of Hindus? What kind of Hindu Rashtra is
this where Hindu temples are exclusively controlled by the State, where Hindus
must beg for Waqf land to celebrate their festival while the government usurps
hundreds of thousands of acres of temple land and is responsible for more than
100,000 temples losing lacs of crores in rental income? What kind of Hindu Rashtra
is this where Right to Education Act discriminates only against Hindus and their
schools, forcing tens of thousands of them to shut down? What kind of Hindu
Rashtra is this where monsters like Aurangzeb and Tipu who perpetrated large-scale
Hindu genocides are eulogised through State sponsored publications, naming of
roads and cities, and organising of festivals? What kind of Hindu Rashtra is this
where a law was about to be enacted through with only the Hindus would have been
held guilty in a communal riot even if they were in a minority for example in
Kashmir? What kind of Hindu Rashtra is this where court judgments like the
Sabarimala and legislative enactments like the Hindu Code Bill purport to reform
only Hindu religious practices but dare not touch practices of other religions, and if
they do, the decisions are promptly reversed like in the Shah Bano case? What kind
of Hindu Rashtra is this where The Places of Worship Act continues to deny the
Hindus their legitimate right to correct historical injustices and reclaim thousands
of demolished temples? What kind of Hindu Rashtra is this where the Waqf Act
gives overarching powers to Muslims to declare a 1500-year-old Hindu temple to be
on Islamic land when Islam is only 1300 years old? If this is how a Hindu is rewarded
in a Hindu Rashtra, he’d much rather be in a Muslim Rashtra because then at least
there’d be no pretence of equality – a Kafir will get what he deserves. In this searing
commentary penned with clinical precision, the author shreds to smithereens once
and for all the guilt-tripping, self-loathing fake narrative that Hindus have been
duped with since Independence. There is no pretence, no political correctness, only
unvarnished truth – that the Hindus are living under State-sanctioned Apartheid.
