Mahua Moitra: I will not tiptoe around religion just because everyone is scared to take on the BJP’s narrative of a homogenous faith https://indianexpress.com/article/political-pulse/mahua-moitra-interview-kali-remarks-row-bjp-tmc-8024825/ Ravik BhattacharyaJuly 13, 2022
My statement was one of fact and experience of how Ma Kali is venerated by her devotees and what she represents to me. I don’t see any controversy in this whatsoever. The controversy is the false sentiment of the BJP and its trolls whose agenda is to divide the citizens of this country using religion as a tool. They want to impose their programme of a monolithic idea of Hinduism on every Hindu and will decide who is a Hindu and who isn’t, and how our gods and goddesses are to be worshipped.
I have had enough of this nonsense from the BJP where truth, logic and reason have been replaced by sheer absurdity. I will stand up to their hypocrisy and defend my faith.

Kalighat, Kolkata the meat is cooked and offered to devotees as prasad. However, the Devi here is offered a vegetarian spread while her accomplices - Dakini and Yogini - are given the non-veg procured from the sacrifice.
Post by SS: This time, the relentless attacks on Islam, and Christianity, have crossed the border and the subsidiary, or "little", Hindu traditions are being openly targeted.
That's how "Hindi, Hindu, Hindustan!" eventually works out.
