Reactionary vigilantism

This refers to the report is India turning into a vigilant Hindu society? (23 May).

Rising middle classes and the aspirational youngsters have only added to the woes of the poor who too are pushing around for their own space and has already happened under the Modi government rule of the past five years and it will increase in every which way in the coming times.

To top it, we have political parties in our country which have unremittingly cultivated a section of the society for their own petty gains overlooking the long-term impact of the same.

Hence, Hindu society is getting deep-seated in its own way. This by no means could lead to a situation where it could be called Hindu terror, but only remain as a vigilante Hindu society.

But even that vigilantism could spark trouble in a peaceful society as it slowly swerves around affirm itself against minority practices and habits.
