Delhi Riot Was Not Spontaneous , It Was Slowly Built Up

             Delhi witnessed a lot of hate speeches and firing incidents during and after the elections too . I am quoting some of them here because it is necessary for the people to know the perpetrators behind the large scale violence in the National capital in which 38 people have lost their lives while more than 200 are injured till now. The people who gave hate speeches were the leaders from BJP and AIMIM. None of them is behind the bars except an FIR is lodged on Waris Pathan. 
         It all started on 15 December 2019 when Delhi police mishandled the Jamia Milia university students strike (against CAA)  by entering the campus and brutally beating the students in which many are seriously injured while one student has lost his eye permanently. After a month the JMCC released a video which clearly showed that the police entered the library and have broke the CCTV cameras. This video is fact checked by Alt news . Calling the  anti-protesters as traitors , a BJP leader took out a Pro-CAA rally on 20 December 2019 in which his supporters were marching with the slogan ” Desh ke Gaddaron ko …” . Inspite of this hateful slogan Delhi Police remained silent and didn’t took any action. 
              On 5th January 2020 a group of masked men with iron rods illegally entered the JNU Campus and brutally assaulted the teachers , students and the JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh. Delhi police are still in investigation mode after two months of the violence. This ignorance of Delhi Police gave wrong impression about its reputation in the society. On 23 January the same Kapil Mishra tweeted that ” on 8 february (voting day of Delhi elections) it will be India vs Pakistan competition on the roads of Delhi” . He was intentionally pointing towards Shaheen Bagh where many people are protesting against the CAA.  According to BJP leaders , anyone who criticize the Government policies is anti-national and should go to Pakistan. This India Pakistan narrative created a communal divide in Delhi. 
             On 27 January Anurag Thakur (State Finance Minister) chanted the same ” Desh ke Gaddaron ko….” slogan in an election rally in Delhi after which he was banned from rallying. On the same day , a BJP MP Pravesh Verma in an interview warned “Shaheen Bagh Protesters will rape and kill your sisters” . He also promised people that all mosques in west Delhi will be removed if BJP is voted to power. A very shameful incident happened on Martyrs day (30 January) when a teenager opened fire in  Jamia university and was chanting ” yeh lo azaadi “. A student was injured in this firing. Police was mute spectators when he was walking freely with gun in hand and arrested him only after he fired a shot .
               On 1 February , another shooting incident happened near Shaheen Bagh where a man opened fire and said ” Only Hindus will prevail in this country. This country is ours” .  On the next day i.e 2 February two people on Bike opened fire at Gate No.5 in Jamia university and fled away. On 19 February AIMIM leader waris pathan said in a public meeting “We have to move together. We have to take Azadi (freedom), things that we don’t get by asking, we have to take it by force, remember it…(We maybe) 15 crore, but are heavy on 100 (crore), remember it,” . 
                 Finally on 23 February Kapil Mishra who lost the assembly election gave 3 day ultimatum to Delhi Police to clear the roads where people are doing 24/7 protests and threatened to disobey police if anti CAA protesters are not evicted in 3 days. Surprisingly a DCP of Delhi Police was standing next to him when he( Kapil Mishra ) was addressing the crowd. The next day was dreadful for Delhites. The rioters took over the north east delhi area. The fire of hate spread too fast . A question should definitely raised on the action of Delhi Police. Why this riot took place ? There is not a one-liner . The above statements fueled the hate which was growing day by day. Delhi witnessed a 3 day assault on its integrity and unity. Not a single political party was on road appealing for peace. AAP party leaders went to Rajghat instead of Maujpuri which was highly affected area. During Partition when Noakhali was burning and there were dead bodies everywhere , Gandhiji himself was on the roads of Noakhali to calm the tense situation. But unfortunately our present leaders were busy in blaming each other when people were killed. 
While all this was happening ,USA President Donald Trump was in India along with US Delegation.  When our Prime minister was praising our unity in diversity culture , North East Delhi was burning in Hindu Muslim Riot.

Act Now For Climate Change Or Face Consequences

                  The choices we made under the name of development are bearing fruits in the form of pandemics, global climate change, population explosion ,rising sea levels, depleting natural resources, energy crisis, etc. We have developed a concrete jungle in which robots are living not human beings. When I was a child I was having a big playground to play. We literally played in soil, dancing ,running, falling, getting injured and what not. Now there are no playgrounds . So the children’s have shortened their playground on a 5 by 6 inch mobile. Today’s generation kids no longer play football , hide n seek in open. These games are a luxury for elite children’s whose parents can afford flats in big enclaves offering playground, gyms, swimming pools,etc. This will be huge setback for the health and immunity of kids in future. Yes they will be intelligent ,ahead of time, open minded, unorthodox but remember they will be just like a microc...

Wondering Why India Ranks As A ‘Flawed Democracy’? Here Are 22 Possible Reasons

What Leads To The Fall Of Democracies?    Recently, the Democracy Index Report was released by the EIU and a countrywide debate started, on the fall of India by 10 odd places i.e from 51 to 41; citing the reason as “Erosion Of Civil Liberties”. The facts tell us numbers and the numbers come from observation. The fallen democracy index is a gentle reminder that the world is watching us. It will be suitable to commence my article by quoting Dr. Ambedkar. “An ideal society should be mobile, should be full of channels for conveying a change taking place in one part to other parts. In an ideal society, there should be many interests consciously communicated and shared. There should be varied and free points of contact with other modes of association. In other words, there should be social endosmosis. This is a fraternity, which is only another name for democracy. Democracy is not merely a form of Government. It is primarily a mode of asso...

" The RSS : A Menace to India" Review

  The RSS was established as an armed , militant wing of Hindu Nationalism in order to overpower and wipe out Indian Nationalism from the country: Noorani     In April 2019 India was in the first phase of 2019 general election and 'fir ek baar , Modi sarkar ' slogan was sweeping across the country. Just one month before the election, a book was launched by LeftWord Books in the India International Centre ( New Delhi) . Not much attention was paid to the book by the 'liberals' of this country and no book discussions were held by the 'mainstream' media houses. The Hindu Nationalist Narendra Modi (as he called himself) came to power again . The book is titled " The RSS : A Menace to India".      Starting with the quote by Dr.Ambedkar "If Hindu Raj does become a fact , it will ,no doubt , be the greatest calamity for this country...Hindu Raj must be prevented at any cost' the book ' The RSS  : A Menace to India' written by the most nota...
