Maiming India: The regime’s mimicry of Pakistan in rewriting India’s history.

To destabilise Muslim citizenship, to undermine Muslim livelihoods, to segregate Muslim neighbourhoods and to render Muslim bodies vulnerable to attacks by vigilantes and the police is the majoritarian project in the present, the here and now, writes Mukul Kesavan.

The plan is to depict a heroic regime: GN Devy on attempts to rewrite history

"If one speaks of federalism then one becomes anti-national, if one speaks of diversity then one becomes unpatriotic, if one speaks of a different opinion there is UAPA [Unlawful Activities Prevention Act], and if one tries to tell the truth then trolls are directed at that person. Since all of this is happening and the principles of justice, equality and freedom, inscribed in the Constitution, are being constricted, then there is good reason for any objective observer to ask if this is not a totalitarian regime."

"No one has the power to take away the daughter of a Hindu. Keep in mind that the bitterness is in their blood.
