An Indian Right Perspective

Fractures between Hindus and Muslims can’t just be attributed to Partition, either. The work of scholars like CA Bayly has  shown  that religious violence was endemic in pre-colonial India too. Bayly notes that “several riots broke out in Delhi, Agra and Kashmir during the early 1720s", sparked off by "disputes over Holi, Muhurram and Eid." Likewise, Ahmedabad saw large-scale rioting over cow-slaughter, and "Afghan soldiers of the Mughal governor of the city took a leading part in the attack on the Hindu quarters of the city." https://www.firstpost.com/india/delhi-communal-clashes-citys-past-shows-hindu-muslim-enmity-predates-narendra-modi-and-even-partition-6919971.html

Read the article and also look into comments. Surprised too 99.9% of them disagree with her and  even one Muslim disagrees with her. Now I think except some elite common folks oppose socialism and inefficient PSU. 5 years later with increased better record of BJP, it is difficult for Congress to recover to displace BJP In 2019 we have farmers issue, unemployment and  slowing economy as issues. By 2024 there may not be and new voters will accrue to BJP She said the future of 2000 workers remains uncertain due to the government's move.The primary job of the PSU is welfare of the people and not to benefit capitalists, she said. https://m.timesofindia.com/india/sonia-gandhi-opposes-move-to-privatise-rae-bareli-coach-factory/amp_articleshow/70038226.cms

See the way Congress party thinks ; not just Congress party even many journalists and secular intellectuals think the same. Nobody is able to say Congress a party with 120+ years of history has many presidents and leaders and has ideology commitment and many followers and so any one other than Nehru-Indira-Feroz Ghandy family can be Congress leader to lead and revive. See the attachment to the dynasty and the name Gandhi. Not much emphasis and confidence on the party and ideology. https://m.rediff.com/news/interview/gandhi-family-is-the-only-fulcrum-of-the-congress/20190701.htm

See the contrast. What will seculars and left would have done if a mosque or church is vandalized. Where did this happen? In Delhi. What will happen if this temple is in a Muslim majority area of India.  It would have been even not reported, as no body would have dared. Does any body what happened to a case in Telengana where a old priest is murdered in the temple by a neighborhood Muslim Imam. Has it become major news and major lynching incident for worry of all intellectuals? The imam was proclaimed temporary insanity https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/central-delhis-hauz-qazi-tense-after-brawl-over-parking-temple-vandalised/articleshow/70028826.cms https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/telangana-priest-dies-after-being-allegedly-assaulted-by-imam-over-using-loudspeaker-1381038-2018-11-02

India’s economy holds great potential, but there is a big risk that this will not be translated into reality. On current trends, India is en route to the Latin American path, in which episodes of fast growth tend to stall in the long run. Signs of Latin Americanisation lie in the consolidation of what has been referred to as ‘oligarchic capitalism’, with its drawbacks of widespread informalisation, rising extremes of inequality, and a corporate-financial nexus of bad assets that risks growth and macroeconomic stability. https://theprint.in/opinion/modi-needs-to-save-indian-capitalism-before-it-goes-down-latin-american-path/256523/
