Communalism
https://thewire.in/communalism/radicalisation-of-indian-muslims
if the number of zealots among Muslim Indians attracted to the phantasmagoria of global Islamic Jihad was minuscule, it was because of their country’s secular constitution and the largely salubrious lived experience of being in a plural society –despite sporadic aberrations.
An Indian Muslim’s psyche today, regardless of their adherence or otherwise to the faith of Islam, is a minefield of rage, frustration, helplessness and fear. There is evidence now to surmise that many have begun to shed their fear and confront the reality head on. The elite among the community may be thinking of the first opportunity to migrate to safer shores where their children can build a decent future, while some perhaps secretly wish their forefathers had not believed in the promise of the republic’s founders that they would be treated as equal citizens.

उदयपुर में कन्हैयालाल दर्जी की बहरहमी से की गई हत्या की निंदा व दोषियों को तुरंत गिरफ्तार करने की मांग
परिवार को एक करोड़ मुआवजा सरकार दे और माहौल शांति पूर्ण बनाए रखने की अपील
उदयपुर में कन्हैया लाल दर्जी की दिन दहाड़े, मलदास स्ट्रीट में बहरहमी से हुए कत्ल की पी यू सी एल पुरज़ोर शब्दों में निंदा करता हैं I यह कत्ल किसी भी सूरत में जायज़ नाही ठहराया जा सकता है ना बर्दाश्त किया जा सकता है I
इस कत्ल के लिए राजस्थान की उदयपुर पुलिस पर भी सवालिया निशान खड़े होते हैं क्योंकि कन्हैया लाल दर्जी द्वारा थाने में लिखित में जान के खतरे का आवेदन देने के बावजूद, उन्होंने उसे सुरक्षा नही दी, धमकी देने वालों के खिलाफ उचित कार्यवाही नही की और ना उन्हे पाबंद किया गया I
हमारी मांग है की राजस्थान पुलिस तत्परता से दोषियों को गिरफ्तार कर कानूनी कार्यवाही चालू करेI
उदयपुर शहर में लोगों का आक्रोश सड़कों पर दिख रहा है उसे उदयपुर प्रशासन व पुलिस सांप्रदायिक नही बनने दे I माहौल नहीं बिगड़े जिसकी रोक थाम के सभी उपयुक्त कदम उठाए जाएँ I
हमारा मानना की उदयपुर व राजस्थान की जनता हमेशा अमन पसंद और परिपक्व है जो इस घटना से सांप्रदायिक माहौल को बनने नहीं देगी और धैर्य से काम लेगी I हमे पूरी उम्मेद है की इस मौके का फायदा उठाने वाले समूहों के झांसे में यहाँ की जनता नहीं आएगी और शांति बनाए रखेगी I
हम इस मौके पर मुख्यमंत्री से भी अपील करना चाहेंगे की वे कन्हैया लाल दर्जी को 1 करोड़ का मुआवजा दें जिससे उसके परिवार और बच्चों का पालन पौषण उचित रूप से हो सके I मुख्यमंत्री यह भी सुनिशचित करें की पुलिस और प्रशासन की तरफ से कोई चूक ना हो और प्रदेश का माहौल ना बिगड़े इस और आवश्यक और पर्याप्त कदम उठाए जाएँ I

PUCL strongly condemns the brutal murder of Kanhaiya Lal Tailor in Udaipur in broad daylight, in Maldas Street. This murder cannot be justified or tolerated under any circumstances.
The Udaipur Police of Rajasthan is also in the dock for this murder because despite Kanhaiya Lal Tailor's written application of threat to his life in the police station. They did not give him protection,. They did not take appropriate action against those who made the threats. Nor did they warn or ban them.
We demand that the Rajasthan Police should immediately arrest the culprits and start legal proceedings.
The anger of the people in Udaipur city is visible on the streets. And , don't let the Udaipur administration and the police become communal.The atmosphere should not be allowed to deteriorate and all appropriate steps should be taken to curb the tension.
We believe that the people of Udaipur and Rajasthan are always peaceful and mature, who will not allow this incident to create a communal atmosphere and will work patiently. and keep the peace
We would also like to appeal to the Chief Minister on this occasion to give compensation of 1 crore to Kanhaiya Lal Tailor to take care of his family and children . And necessary and adequate steps should be taken so that the environment of the state should not be disturbed.

All around the loud hysteria is raging the streets. This is what prompted the eminent historian Ram Guha to state that we are living in the worst era of Independent India. This is what prompted leaders of 13 opposition parties, including Congress, NCP, TMC, DMK and many others to issue a statement saying, “We are extremely anguished at the manner in which issues related to food, dress. Food, festivals and language are being deliberately used by ruling establishment, to polarize our society. We are extremely concerned with the growing incidents of hate in the country by the people who appear to have official patronage and against whom no meaningful and strong action is taken,”
Even pre Independence when Muslim communalism was also the parallel and opposite of Hindu communalism, the processions in front of mosques were one of the techniques used to instigate violence. Now the celebrations of Hindu festivals and processions have been enhanced to incorporate DJs, loud music and anti-Muslim slogans. These processions have the destination of mosques, where they dance to the loud music and hurl abuses inciting the elements in the minority community. What follows is the process of stone throwing, from which ever quarter they come.

Why the Corporate Czars are Silent over increasing attacks on Social Fabric and rising Communalism ?
https://countercurrents.org/2022/04/silence-of-the-powerful/
Speak No Evil, See No Evil
This silence by the powerful has nothing exceptional about it.
Would it be apt to say that their dictum for these times has become ‘Speak No Evil, See No Evil and Hear No Evil’
Perhaps Rahul Bajaj’s last public appearance can be seen as a classic example wherein he had asked few tough questions to Amit Shah about mass lynching, glorification of Gandhi’s assassins or the atmosphere of fear in the industry, which was followed by complete silence from Indian Corporate world’s Who’s Who – who had gathered there – as if what the late Bajaj was talking was tale from another planet. (https://thewire.in/government/rahul-bajaj-amit-shah-dissent-pragya-thakur)
Forget larger constitutional issues or social problems, this docility / passivity of these corporate leaders extends to their own personal matters as well.
