A US-based human rights group \u201cJustice for All\u201d has drawn a parallel between the Hindutva ideology and the Niazis, citing the ongoing persecution of the minorities in India.<\/p>\n
The organization\u2019s report titled \u201cThe Nazification of India\u201d compares 12 different mechanisms of hate and persecution from the Nazi playbook, and how they are being implemented in India today.<\/p>\n
India, the largest democracy in the world has become the weakest at the hands of the fascist Hindutva ideology, said the report released by the Chicago-based human rights organization.<\/p>\n
It said that Hindutva ideology is not only inspired by Nazis and Fascists of Europe, but their treatment of the Muslim minority closely follows developments that resulted in pushing Jews to the gas chambers.<\/p>\n
The report was released in the recent past at a Congressional briefing \u201cto mark the anniversary of the Gujarat pogroms of 2002 against Muslims which propelled the BJP-RSS regime to control India.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIndia today is ruled not just by a political party the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), but its mother organization the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS),\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n
The report said that what happening in India today was \u201cclearly demonstrates that India is on a dangerous trajectory to becoming a Nazi-inspired, fascist, majoritarian state, where its minorities and particularly its more than 200 million Muslims, face an impending danger of genocide.\u201d<\/p>\n
At the briefing, Hena Zuberi of Justice for All explained the reasons behind some terms used in the report, like \u201cThe BJP-RSS regime,\u201d and \u201cThe BJP-RSS machine.\u201d These terms \u201creflect the intrinsic links and collaborative relationship between the gas chambers, hate, othering, and boycotts of Jews, ghettoization, and pogroms.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe fact that these parallels are seen is not a surprise since the early leaders of the RSS openly declared that the Nazi model was a good one for India to adopt. And recently, Hitler\u2019s popularity has grown widely in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
The report also explores how Narendra Modi not only got away with facilitating a pogrom but was also elected the Prime Minister of India \u2014 twice. It further notes that \u201cwhile Modi\u2019s fortunes continue to rise in India, India\u2019s positioning around the world continues to fall.\u201d<\/p>\n
Authors of the report cite the Freedom House, which \u201cdowngraded\u201d India in 2021 to \u201cpartially free,\u201d as well as the Economist Intelligence Unit\u2019s Democracy Index that placed the world\u2019s largest democracy in the category of \u201cFlawed Democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n
It also mentions Reporters Without Borders, which, in 2022 placed India \u201camong the worst countries in terms of media freedom, ranking it 150th out of 180 countries.\u201d<\/p>\n
Noting that the non-profit Genocide Watch has already warned that the situation in India \u201creached the stages of polarization, preparation, and persecution respectively, the 6th, 7th, and 8th stages of the Ten Stages of Genocide\u201d, the report insists, \u201cThe world must heed these warning signs and act as a matter of urgency to prevent history from repeating itself.\u201d<\/p>\n
The report wants global leaders to \u201ccondemn the gross human rights violations occurring in India and pressure the government to hold true to India\u2019s secular constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
