Cow lynchings, political lynchings, WhatsApp lynchings - many have direct connection with Hindutva organisations. Recently we had an RSS minister openly felicitating convicts of a cow lynching. That is the state of democracy in India. State governments are virtually powerless under Modi’s Raj.

Here is an up to date chronology of lynchings under Modi https://www.thequint.com/quintlab/lynching-in-india/

Let us stand firm against hatred in the name of religion and race. Stand for democracy - stand against authoritarianism.

Why not have the count since 1947 to know if the "number of REPORTED LYNCHINGS" are going up or down?

either way, this thread is not going anywhere. I'm out of this conversation, since IMO HN is not the right place.
