RIGHT TIME TO DE-RADICALISE INDIAN MUSLIMS

In 1945 Karl Popper introduced the term “Paradox of Intolerance” that said, “If a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized by or destroyed by the intolerant”. In short, society must retain the right to be intolerant of intolerance.
The silent and unchecked expansion of Islamic radicalisation in India has manifested itself in mobs unleashing hate filled terror and violence in digital and physical spaces. For example, the situation in Kashmir, Kerala West Bengal, and Coastal Karnataka has crossed the threshold of tolerance. Day in and day out ordinary Hindus are put through the ordeal of dealing with hijab row, halal row, namaz on streets, illegal Mazar constructions, stone-pelting during Shobha yatras, mocking and ridiculing Hindus Gods and Goddesses, and love jihad. On the 29th of May 2022, Jamiat-e-Ulema-Hind in their annual meet said India is theirs and those who dislike Muslims should go to Pakistan.
The unhindered flow of petro-dollars from the West has led to mushrooming of jihadi organisations across Bharat. For example, Popular Front of India (PFI – formerly SIMI) is rapidly expanding its radicalisation program of Muslim students in schools and college through its Campus Front of India, Fraternity Movement, and women’s wing National Women’s Front. Similarly, Jamat-e-Islami Hind’s Girl Islamic Organisation, Solidarity Youth Movement and Student Islamic Organisation etc are involved in targeted radicalisation.
With the raising tide of jihad, time is of the essence to act now. Tolerating intolerance without limit will ultimately lead to the destruction of our country, civilisation and Sanatana Dharma.
The rule of the law must prevail and central and state governments need to swiftly respond to neutralise the mob fuelled jihad. The government could examine and adapt/adopt some de-radicalisation model from our region. These models are:
Hindus are a step away from genocide unleashed by the jihadi mobs. Law abiding Hindus still having faith in the constitution look towards the Government at this critical juncture to take strong actions to protect Hindu lives and livelihoods.
