A veteran Indian writer warned that what Muslims are facing today in the Indian state of Assam - from killing, displacing and expelling from their fields and replacing Hindus with them and marking them as the root of every affliction in India - is only the beginning of the extermination of all Muslims of India, and Assam has been made a primary laboratory for that annihilation.

Debasesh Roy Chowdhury, co-author of the book "Decission of Democracy: India's Turning Towards Authoritarianism", said that what the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is promoting about inhuman myths against Muslims is similar to what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, whom it called "rats", and what Nazi Germany did to the Jews, whom it called "rats." What the Hutus did during their extermination of the Tutsi in Rwanda in the 1990s;

They were called "crickets", while the Muslims of India are, according to BJP members, "termites" that devour India's resources and deprive Hindus of the bounties of their land.

In his article in the American "Time" magazine, Choudary denounced what appeared in a video clip circulated last September showing Indian policemen killing a Muslim youth in Assam and a television cameraman trampling over the dead body of the young man before returning to the police officers who embraced him as an expression Their deep satisfaction with his act despite its ugliness, according to the writer.


Here, Chaudhry highlighted that the rise of the current extremist Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made the historical resentment of the Assamese towards those who do not speak their language mixed with Hindu nationalist policies to produce a dangerous mixture of xenophobia and nationalist sentiments.

He added that trampling on the corpse of a Muslim has now become a heroic patriotic act and thus deserved to be proud of it in front of the camera, and blind fanaticism has today become a badge of honor. Modi used history as a weapon, valued and stimulated hatred.

'Hindus in danger'

He stressed that Modi's party had achieved a frightening achievement;

It has created a deep sense among Hindus, who represent 84% of India's population, that they are a victim and make them view Muslims as "outsiders" by misinformation, hate speech, unraveling old religious wounds, manipulating submissive media, silencing progressive voices and empowering Hindu vigilante groups under the slogan “Hindus in Danger” is a right-wing imperative that resonates deeply in India today.

As a result - Chaudhry said - many Hindus today are convinced that the biggest problem facing their country is its Muslims, and the writer pointed out that before Modi took over in 2014, what most of the citizens preoccupied is poverty, weak economic growth, not to mention corruption.


When Modi took power he promised to fix all of that, but as the economy continues to deteriorate, unemployment and poverty soar under his rule, the BJP is increasingly resorting to promoting Hindu supremacist politics to divert attention from the failure to deliver and evade responsibility .

The party realized that in order to continue to win elections, it must strengthen the polarization of Hindu voters against Muslims, and recycle the ugliest and most heinous campaigns ever to tarnish the image of Muslims, in the words of the writer.

In this context - says Chaudhry - Indian social media today is filled with videos of self-proclaimed defenders of Hinduism calling for the execution of Muslims without trial, an act that has become so popular that it does not make news anymore.

Major promoters of Hindu supremacy are rarely arrested for their hate speech, while Muslims are routinely attacked indiscriminately for "crimes" such as transporting livestock or being with Hindu women, and sometimes the provocation is simply that someone appears to be his traitor. He is a Muslim, which the writer said Modi himself pointed out at rallies, when he said that people "who create violence" can be identified by their clothes.
