The
Janmashtami of politics:
Regional
parties of an indigenous people are out on the streets sponsoring and promoting
an indigenous youth to participate in a festival that comes from a culture and
celebrates the birth of a God of the very same culture they have learnt to
detest. They celebrate Krishna janm but can beat up people of the very same
culture, every now and then, to push their regional identity agendas.
‘Hindutva’
is the unification of many cultures under one religion. So a political party
can be Hindu, but beat up and threaten non-indigenous people?
