*From the Editor’s Desk*
This May saw the completion of first year of Modi Sarkar. While there are
tall claims about Acche Din, good governance and better leadership, the
ground reality is totally the opposite. This year saw that the electoral
promises of control over prices, bringing back illegal money, creation of
jobs etc. was all just deluding claims! The price rise continues, illegal
money stashed abroad and within the country thrives, the governance is
becoming more authoritarian and the plight of farmers continues to worsen.
On the ground as far as intercommunity relations are concerned; this year
was a night mare of sorts. The attacks on churches, the mosques went up in
number and communal clashes spread far and wide. While the major riots did
not take place the low intensity violence is spreading continuously. The
RSS combine is coming to the center stage in the state with increasing role
in the matters of culture and education. RSS worthies are main advisors of
the education policies. The Yoga in schools is becoming the part of
government pattern. Maharashtra BJP led Government banned the possession of
beef and in the revised law even bullock has been included in the
prohibited list. BJP government in MP went on to the extent of stopping
eggs as a part of midday meals for the children. The RSS affiliates are
becoming more assertive as the Prime Minister talks of respecting all
religions. A clever move to hide the deeper agenda of communalizing the
society and corporatizing the economy is going hand in hand. Modi with all
shrewdness is trying to win over a section of Muslim leadership into
believing that the divisive agenda will be curtailed, and this at a time
when the half built mosque in Atali was destroyed and Modi’s RSS coworkers
are demanding the building of Ram temple. In Foreign policy matters Modi is
planning to visit Israel, a country which is suppressing and curtailing the
rights of Palestinians, in violation of the resolutions of United Nations.
