India’s current government is led by the Bharatiya Janta Party or the BJP. It is also the country’s largest national party. It was formed in 1980, though its origins lie in the Bharatiya Jana Sangh, which was founded in 1951. The Jana Sangh was closely associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a Hindu nationalist organization that continues to play a significant role in shaping the BJP’s ideology.
The party first came to power at the center in 1996, but its government lasted only 13 days. It returned to power in 1998, forming a coalition under the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), with Atal Bihari Vajpayee as Prime Minister. His tenure saw India conducting nuclear tests in 1998, economic reforms, and a focus on infrastructure development. However, the BJP lost power in 2004 to the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA).
The BJP made a historic comeback in 2014 by securing 282 seats out of 543 in the Lok Sabha, with Narendra Modi as India’s prime minister. Major policy changes include the revocation of Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) 2019, and the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Act, 2019 that criminalized triple talaq in India.
The government’s handling of several protests and crises has faced widespread scrutiny. The 2020–2021 farmer protests, which were sparked by the controversial farm laws that were later repealed, drew significant public attention, with criticism directed at the use of force and the management of the situation. Similarly, the government’s response to the 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests raised concerns over its handling of dissent, particularly the use of force. The BJP’s management of the COVID-19 pandemic also attracted criticism, especially regarding the lack of transparency around the death toll, shortages of medical resources like oxygen cylinders, and inadequate preparedness during the second wave.
Additionally, the ongoing inter-tribe conflict in Manipur, which erupted in 2023, has faced criticism for the government’s perceived failure to take adequate action, with accusations of poor crisis management and insufficient intervention in addressing the escalating violence.
It’s not a one man’s obsession.
It’s a philosophy taught to kidz in small gatherings behind temples at dusk.
Bagal me chhoori muh me raam,
chhakka niti mera kaam.
You nailed it! Seems to be the case with most Hindutva warriors.
What idiot wrote this piece? Is this the level of Journalism that print holds itself to? You’re generalizing all Hindutvawaadis into one big blot.
Very well written article and kudos to you for your guts. I am sharing this on facebook
As I see it, his action was based on provocation caused by a fake post. That comes as a reaction to provocation. It is the same provocation that’s being used to create the mob frenzy regarding child lifting. What we have to see is WHO BENEFITS FROM THE VIOLENCE THAT FOLLOWS SUCH FAKE NEWS. They are the prime source to be investigated and then the source that originated the fake message. It will all, IMHO, point to same source. This is like crying about post Godhra riots where the prime cause the train burning by some peace loving ppl are conveniently omitted as also about 600 Hindus killed by lovers of peace during riots.
Wonderful analysis
Hey ThePrint, Just to remind you that stop spreading such nuisance in the name of Hindutva. This guy seems to be like a senseless moron. But, please stop spreading bad image of Hindutva, He isn’t a Hindutva warrior neither you are. People like him are in every religion, and if you want I can show you many Muslims doing this same thing in the name of Islam, you might came to know about them, But you won’t post that bcz that won’t make you bucks. I hope you got my point.
True … For money the media goes to.any extent… They wont dare print against people from the so.called minority who use filthier words n filthy mind…. These trolls happen fr all the radicals… Y showcase only this guy who is only apart of larger netizens usinng filthy language out of whom majority are from the so called minority
Indeed we all have seen the cobra post and the morons in the so called main media. Taking the bite for money. Even paytm is exposed. What has the Hindutva achieved in the past four years. Only hate and divisive politics. India has lost all neighouring countries one by one to China. We feel isolation and Modi had to run to China to bailout this time but isn’t it high time that we as a nation every one of us put our heads down and work hard to revive the sagging moral at the international level and build bridges to attain higher standards for every one in India. Stop playing victims and start working for the unity and higher goals.
true, actually Print is sycophant and they all congress ally .so, just to defame hinduism /santandharm they pick one or two and do what they want to do.Don’t read and give importance to them .Let them speak non-sense .someday our swami sir will put some defamation case and then office will closed .
Muslims do this,so you justifies this act! Actually every men who give rape
threats and abuse women are definitely sexually frustrated, here this idiot is doing this in the name of Hindu religion. And true Hindus must condemn his actions instead of defending him, besides Bjp/Rss think that tgey own Hindu religion, which is not true.
These troll armies will prove to be an electoral liability.
So according to this idiot is a Hindutva warrior????? Am wondering what are you?
