Bleeding heart third worldism in the name of poor and hungry is nice coming from right and left. BKU had no role in Muzaffarnagar killings and Swadeshi Jagarn Munch has no links with the Hindutwa right wing
[Lovely to see the famous Indian progressive NGO types rub shoulders with the most retrograde sections of the India's right wing, all for a good cause they will tell you. Bloody shameless hypocrites these third worldists from India as from elsewhere. The impresario call for a 'Bahu Beti Bachao' Mahapanchayat from BKU (which also represents the largest contingent of India's Kulaks in Via Campesina

India: RSS, Madani, Laxmanpur Bathe by Kuldip Nayar
From: Mainstream Weekly, 9 November 2013
RSS, Madani, Laxmanpur Bathe
Kuldip Nayar
Fundamentalism is rearing its ugly head once again. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has openly said that it would take part in politics. On the other hand, even the liberal Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has talked about the Muslim vote. The impending parliamentary elections may be compelling the political parties.

Yet another doctored riot - Harsh Mander
Communal organisations have perfected the art of manufacturing hatred
against the ‘other’ community by cynically deploying rumour, innuendo
and falsehood. The issue chosen to demonise the ‘other’ varies based on
what would resonate and enrage most. In Partition, pork was thrown into
mosques and beef into temples; later riots are spurred by rumours of cow
slaughter, support to terror, and

'Democratisation' of communalism

The emergence of caste identity politics has led to the demise of secular politics.
One needs to remember that the Sangh has never believed in a puritanical Hindutva. Its endeavour has always been to somehow be part of the power structure, even if it meant withdrawal of some of its key demands
