According to the recent developments in India and the handling of diversities by the current administration India is moving towards communalism. The founding fathers of India, such as Mahatma Gandhi, pundit Nehru, Ambedkar etc envisaged all inclusive India.
The more disturbing scenario is that the current political majority under BJP has denounced the ideology of non-violence of Gandhi and has declared him an enemy of India. They have started celebrating his murderer Godse.
It is, indeed, ominous with the gathering of dark clouds of communal fascism all over us. A serious threat is being posed to the very foundation of modern India. The secular democratic republican character of India is sought to be converted into a rabidly intolerant communal fascist society. The recent State-sponsored communal carnage in Gujarat has, in the most chilling manner, displayed the gruesome face of the communal monster. The earlier attacks against the Christians in Gujarat, Orissa and elsewhere, the torching to death of Graham Staines has revealed the true face of fascistic intolerance. There is today before us, all Indian patriots, a very serious challenge to safeguard and protect India as we know of it. The communal forces have adopted a two pronged strategy. On the one hand, they seek to generate a sort of a monolithic unity amongst the vast diversity within the community of Indians embracing Hindu religion, and, on the other, they generate hate against enemies outside of the Hindu faith, i.e. the Muslims and the Christians. The entire propaganda mechanism based on fascist techniques unleashed by them is to achieve this dual strategy.
