Islamophobia: The Manufactured Illness of Sick Indian Hindutvavādins

The article critically examines the rise of Islamophobia in India as a constructed phenomenon driven by Hindutva ideology. The author argues that Hindutva, a politico-religious movement, systematically manufactures Islamophobia to consolidate Hindu nationalist power, portraying Muslims as existential threats through narratives of “love jihad,” demographic invasion, and terrorism. Drawing on postcolonial and psychoanalytic frameworks, the article traces this “illness” to colonial legacies, RSS propaganda, and media amplification, which dehumanize Muslims and justify violence against them. It highlights the socio-political consequences, including mob lynchings, discriminatory laws like the CAA-NRC, and the marginalization of Muslim voices. The piece critiques the complicity of India’s ruling elite and calls for dismantling Hindutva’s divisive rhetoric through inclusive dialogue and resistance to nationalist hegemony, warning of democracy’s erosion if unchecked.

Ajay Piramal: How Many Times Are You Seeking “Blanket” Stay Orders?

This article critically examines Ajay Piramal, portraying him as a hypocritical “Paramavaiṣṇava” (a non-violent Vaishnava devotee) who acts as an “Eco-Terrorist” by exploiting and damaging natural and financial ecosystems. It highlights his alleged dual personality, contrasting his philanthropic image with violent environmental violations and financial manipulations. Two key instances are discussed: (1) Piramal Enterprises’ pollution of groundwater in Telangana, fined by the National Green Tribunal (NGT), where a partial stay order was misinterpreted as a “blanket” one; and (2) his Supreme Court stay on the NCLAT’s 2022 ruling invalidating his acquisition of DHFL as illegal and irregular. The piece accuses Piramal of repeatedly seeking stay orders to evade accountability, links his actions to cronyism with figures like Mukesh Ambani, and references his wife’s alleged illegal tree chopping. It positions these as part of broader critiques in prior articles, emphasizing the suffering of human and non-human victims while questioning the ethics of wealth concentration in India.
