Comprehending ideologies

Source:ET

India is today under a party with an ideology, which is called Hindutva. This ideology has three demands: The abolishing of Article 370 of India’s constitution, the construction of the Ram Janmabhoomi temple at Ayodhya and the enforcement of a Uniform Civil Code.

All the three issues require something from the minority communities. Article 370 requires Kashmir’s Muslim majority to give up their constitutional autonomy, the temple requires Muslims to give up their mosque, and the Uniform Civil Code requires them to give up their personal law.

For this reason it is possible to view these demands as being negative and the product of a majoritarian impulse, rather than positive. I mean that they appear to be not as well-intended as those demanding the changes make it appear. This is validated by what happened to the temple movement once the mosque had been torn down by Hindutva. The movement collapsed because it was more negative, meaning against the mosque, than positive, meaning in favour of the temple.

  1. The day these ideologies accomplished India loses secular status on the globe. Hope Indians can comprehend it.

  2. ‘India is today under a party with an ideology’, ‘This ideology has three demands: ‘, ‘The abolishing ‘- Article 370 requires Kashmir’s Muslim majority to give up their constitutional autonomy, the temple requires Muslims to give up their mosque, and the Uniform Civil Code requires them to give up their personal law. It is good to see this as it is necessary to quell the spread of immigrant claims to property under the guise of a religious front. This type of ‘occupation’ is a prelude to the Jews aim of world domination through the use of the Qur’an and the Bible, both of which are translated extensions of the judaism scriptures (both dating from approx. the year 600, Christian calendar).
