The recent massacre of innocent Christians in Orissa by VHP and Bajrang Dal cadres was indeed dreadful. But it was shocking that not once did anybody term this as Hindu terrorism. If the same act would have been committed by some so-called Muslims, our highly prejudiced media and politicians would have instantly used the term Islamic terrorism. The reason behind this is that the western world, media and the saffronised and anti-Muslim bureaucracy in India have maligned Islam and its followers to such an extent that the word ‘terrorist’ has become falsely and shockingly synonymous with Muslims. It’s indeed a matter of great shame and pity that an entire community has become the target of false insinuations without an iota of genuine evidence against any of its followers whereas the saffron outfits continue to thrive and grow despite manifest evidence against them. If a list were to be drawn of the most dangerous organisations in India indulging in violence and hate, then VHP, Bajrang Dal and the like would be the clear toppers.
