Can religious processions on roads be banned in India? Can such a law be implemented on events of different religions simultaneously and equally? The question does not have a particular answer but we can definitely sense the ferocity of the times in which the question is being posed. We need to listen carefully to the underlying voices behind the protest against agitations on roads or offering of namaz. We also need to see how far the political rhetoric related to roads has changed in the past decade. The issue of toll tax or poor infrastructure of roads has not been raised as often and as vigorously as the matter of namaz on roads. Why is the question of road use so ferociously brought up only at the time of namaz? https://thewire.in/communalism/dont-hide-your-communal-prejudice-under-the-cloak-of-protecting-our-roads

Similarly, footpaths have vanished from roads in urban areas. Rights have been denied to pedestrians and here in Delhi, there is not a single lane for lakhs of cyclists. I am citing this example only to show that a road is not such a public and democratic space after all. In India, a particular class has dominated the roads – we call it the class of ‘car-wallahs’. A long campaign was run in a capital city like Delhi for making way for ambulances.

Democratisation of roads in India has taken place in a very narrow sense. Even if we look at it only as a space for unhindered traffic, there is gross dishonesty here. However, one must understand that roads are not used only for going to office or a hospital. They are used for hundreds of democratic and religious activities.

Democracy is Dying: Rise of Hindu Nationalism in India https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPxaSgKpD0E Mar 10, 2024 The rise of Hindu Nationalism in India and its support from the Bharatiya Janata Party, which stems from the RSS movement in India is isolating minorities and eroding democracy according to Dr. Maya Tudor from the University of Oxford.

Comments:@DeepakKulkarniMukundNagar It is unacceptable for foreigners to speak about India and Indian culture without proper knowledge and research. Before making any comments, it is important to understand organizations like RSS and their history, including their actions during the partition. Moreover, it is essential to acknowledge the recent efforts of RSS during the COVID-19 pandemic, as they have been helping every Indian without any discrimination based on religion, caste, or creed.

@shankarchat Dr Maya Tudor applies one set of standards for the west and another for Bharat. The BJP is an elected government in power through a free and fair process and no amount of her cribbing on her part will stop us from course correction. We will chart out our own way, independent of the dictates of the woke western intellectuals who have no empathy or understanding for the Hindu civilization

अरुण गोयल का चुनाव आयोग से इस्तीफ़ा | Arun Goel resigns from the EC  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKxiNHLGt0g Ravish Kumar Official Mar 11, 2024
जिस दिन चुनाव आयोग अपनी वेबसाइट पर इलेक्टोरल बॉन्ड की जानकारी प्रकाशित करेगा उसी दिन दो-दो चुनाव आयुक्तों की नियुक्ति की कमेटी विचार कर रही होगी जिसमें सरकार का ही बहुमत है। एक तरह प्रधानमंत्री ही चुनेंगे कि चुनाव आयुक्त कौन होगा। ठीक लोक सभा के चुनाव से पहले अरुण गोयल का चुनाव आयुक्त के पद से इस्तीफा देना, बंगाल के दौरे के बाद देना, बंगाल के चुनाव और चुनाव आयोग के संबंधों को भी रौशनी में लाता है। इस राज्य में चुनाव आयोग को जिस राजनीतिक संदेह से देखा जाता है और क्यों देखा जाता है, हम इस पर आज के वीडियो में बात करेंगे। है। नए आयुक्तों की नियुक्ति पर सबकी नज़र होगी, क्या वही बनेगा जो पहले से संपर्क में होगा, क्या बाद में भी संपर्क में होगा? बीजेपी का संपर्कवाद संविधानवाद पर हावी हो गया है। विपक्ष में परिवारवाद और बीजेपी का संपर्कवाद। आप देख नहीं पा रहे हैं लेकिन आपकी नाक के नीचे संस्थाओं के घाव का मवाद सड़कों पर बहने लगा है।
