Echo of three words in India

Hindustan, the three most controversial words "J Shri Ram" is taken as a celebration of Hindu deity. Furthermore it is literally translated as "victory of Lord Rama". But nowadays it is used to spread hate. For Muslims, it is being used for dog whistles. G "Jay Shree Ram" was the words that 25-year-old Kapil Gujar shouted at his semi-automatic pistol at hundreds of unarmed women and children at the Muslim Colony Shaheen Bagh in New Delhi on Saturday, February 1st. Extract from the language. On a foggy afternoon and from all walks of life, Indian citizens gathered in a peaceful protest against a controversial law that particularly affects the country's poor, women and most Muslims. Fire in the atmosphere. The crowd was scattered, and after police handcuffed, Gujar made clear his purpose: "In our country, only Hindus will prevail". This statement, in turn, reflects the thinking of Hinduism. In recent times this phrase (J Shri Ram) originated as a controversial declaration of devotion in India. Now it is growing not only as a Hindu patriotic slogan, but also a threat to everyone who dares to challenge Hindu supremacy. The message of Gujjar was primarily for the 200 million Muslims in India, the largest religious minority in the 13 billion Hindu population. And these are the unpleasant targets in the anti-Muslim campaign run by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BGP). The latest cause of tension is the New Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which deals with religion-based discrimination. Under this law, it is a matter of not giving citizenship to those who come from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who entered before 2015, while those who are Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Sikh or Zoroastrian. This law reflects on the openly anti-Muslim campaign. On this occasion, an elderly woman who is a Muslim said that if Modi showed all his papers, we would see our papers too. According to activists, the law negates secular India and is against the secular principles contained in the constitution. Since then India has been transitioning from secular state to Hindu extremist state. Since the enactment of the Act, mass protests in India have engulfed the country's cities and towns. So-called secular India has extraordinary scenes, with thousands of protesters creating human chains. As Shaheen Bagh is portraying a garden of resistance. From the beginning of this year, this phrase (J Shri Ram) has aroused terror in the capital. On the night of January, a group of Hindu extremist masked attackers shouted the same phrase and tortured the students there. Although this phrase cannot really be a metaphor for extremism, the main character of this phrase is Ram, popular Hindu deity, always known as justice, brave, righteous and sacrificial. But in recent times, the identity of the character has been disputed by hundreds of extremists. The important thing to think about here is why do extremist people always abuse their religion by mediating it? While he is practicing the hypocrisy of his religion. Because in my opinion, no religion in this world can be considered extremist. No religion teaches hatred. They are all myths, which protect their negative action under the guise of religion. And with this,

they dispute the identity of their religion as well. And this is what is happening in India. Muslims are the source of India's power and, according to a poet who portrays the voice of Muslims in beautiful ways, writes;

The blood of all is contained in the soil of this homeland

Somebody's father's India is a bit
