'Those who chose to stay back in post-partition India continue to live with the bloody legacy of the partition with the forms of violence reimagined and diversified in the last seven decades.' Opinion | theflanuese

There is a tenacious link between history and memory, where the past shapes the present and the present exhumes and retells the story of the past. The tenacity of this relationship is more intense and overpowering when accompanied with violence.

While the signs of Hindu pride, assertion and protection of the so-called Hindu identity were always present below the surface, the current display of Hindu supremacy has taken an abrasive form where the leadership of the country claims that India has always been a Hindu nation and aims at prioritising the rights of Hindus, irrespective of their citizenship. The foundation laying of the Ram Mandir is a blatant articulation of that supremacy.

While the vigilante groups are the good ally of this liberal Hindu fascism, the Indian police, which is the repressive arm of the state, has enacted as the handmaiden of Hindutva in targeted killings of Muslims with full impunity.

While on the one hand, the Indian state puts a group of people under forceful submission against their will, on the other, it ruthlessly distances itself from a population that historically belongs to the nation in spirit, commitment and faith. In this display of politics, the memory of partition violence is replayed in the minds of many, opening the ‘settled’ questions of belonging and unbelonging.
