Mob violence is not a new phenomenon in India, but what sets the current round of lawlessness apart is the complicity of the establishment in condoning it Opinion | Rubenbanerjee

The irony rang out perhaps as loudly as the jingle bells this Christmas day. Marking the Christian festival, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a statesman-like statement, recalling the teachings of Jesus Christ while appealing for harmony among people of all religious faiths.

The hatred on display across India that day was shocking, but not entirely surprising. Modi’s BJP believes in Hindu majoritarianism and wants to convert India into a nation where Hindus enjoy primacy over people of other faiths. Crucial state elections are due next year in several states, and BJP hopes to reap electoral dividends by exploiting religious fault lines that have always existed and polarising the electorate further. The simple calculation is that Hindus would vote for BJP that fashions itself as a Hindu nationalist party.
