Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
India's Hindu
Fundamentalists
It’s supposed to be a secular,
democratic country, isn’t it? They had the world largest national election to
choose its leader last year with over 700 million voters. And the elected prime
minister has been pledging that the country is welcoming more foreign
investment. In the meantime, the number of domestic violence in most vicious
and cruel scale is rising, attacks by hardcore Hindu mobs against believers of other
religions and even within their own religious community.
One of the reasons seems
to be the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the majority party led by Prime
Minister Modi. Ever since he took the office to run the country, the members
and supporters of the party and other religious extremists seem to have
intensified and expanded their activities aggressively and even violently to
emphasize Hindu belief and practices.
Is the government taking
actions to stop such violence?
Read the article and see
the video of the report on the religious violence in the soon-to-be world most
populous country.
