In recent days, they have been multiple attacks against Hindus while they were celebrating their festivals. In Karauli, a Hindu procession on the occasion of Hindu New Year was attacked with stones on April 2. Violence and arson followed. Rajasthan police said in its presser that the Hindus had played ‘provocative songs’ during the procession and that led to the violence because the area was ‘Muslim-dominated’.
As per reports, the PFI had warned the local authorities that Hindus taking out a procession in ‘Muslim dominated areas’ may lead to violence.
On the occasion of Ram Navami, the attacks on Hindus followed, with a multi-fold intensity. Across several states, Hindu processions on Ram Navami have been attacked by Muslim mobs, for the crime of passing through the so-called ‘Muslim areas’.
A Ram Navami procession organised by VHP was attacked with stones when it was near Fazir Bazar at PM Basti on GT Road in Shibpur, Howrah.
Another procession has been attacked in Gujarat’s Himmatnagar. Similar cases of attacks on Hindu processions have been reported from Jharkhand’s Lohardaga, MP’s Khargone, and Karnataka’s Mulbagal.
‘Hindus should not pass through Muslim areas, if they do, the violence will be their fault’: Say so-called ‘Liberals’
However, apparently, the fault lies with the Hindus, because how dare they take out a procession and play songs for their festivals? For India’s ‘secular liberals’, Hindus should be always accommodating, docile, subversive and never dare to exist on the premises of what they deem as ‘Muslim areas’, or any violence that happens will be the responsibility of the Hindus.
NDTV’s Srinivasan Jain has held Hindus responsible for the attack on them because it was their fault to pass through a ‘Muslim area’.
Multiple reports + videos indicate that one persistent trigger for this latest wave of violence was Ram Navami processions playing provocative music/raising slogans while passing through Muslim areas. And yet, 'clashes'. pic.twitter.com/NXUNfVXeBK

Jain is relentless, he has decided that incidents of violence are only happening because Modi is ruling at the centre and Hindu leaders are giving statements against the existing ‘status quo’, for example, how dare a Hindu leader question the Halal economy that benefits only Muslims and discriminates against Hindus? As per Srinivasan Jain, questioning the existing practises of discrimination is akin to stoking violence, and violence happens because Modi is in power. Jain has decided to forget the dozens of riots, bomb blasts, and massacres that have happened in this country when Modi was not in power.
Just one example: amid the latest anti-Muslim communal offensive in K'tka, it is a *BJP gen secy* from the state who Tweets about halal = economic jihad. https://t.co/dUbLJn726C

It is not Jain alone. There is a large section of so-called ‘secular liberals’ who believe in this ‘Muslim area’ theory. As per them, a procession passing through a ‘Muslim area’ is a provocation that triggers the violence. In their justification, they completely forget that it is the Muslim mob that pelts stones. And what exactly is a ‘Muslim area’? This is the question that many are asking Srinivasan Jain.
Here is a Congress leader.
In most of the places where there’s been violence, the procession is taken through Muslim areas, past mosques with very aggressive sloganeering, and jeering. Invariably reports of stone pelting and then clashes. One person dead in Gujarat. #RamNavami pic.twitter.com/Ytu0mHS8IR

And what exactly is a ‘Muslim area’? This is the question that many are asking Srinivasan Jain and others. Are there specific areas that Hindus are not allowed to enter? Are these similar areas where stones were pelted on healthcare workers when they went to trace contacts of Covid infected people?
What seculars are saying:
— हम भारत के लोग (@India_Policy) April 11, 2022
1) There are 'Muslim areas' where other than Islamic supremacy slogans (e.g. Allah-o-Akbar. or the Azan) are deemed provocative (but never the other way round)
2) If 'provoked' it's justified to kill Hindus.
3) Hindus, even if killed aren't victims https://t.co/DtB8FDRd9l
In the so-called secular, democratic India, self-proclaimed ‘Liberals’ are propagating the idea of Muslim ghettos, areas where non-Muslims are not allowed to enter, live, or pass through. A similar kind of justification was given by Barkha Dutt in her now-famous video where she was seen blaming the Kashmiri Pandits for their own genocide and exodus because apparently, they had been taking up most of the jobs.
‘Muslim areas’ is why the country was partitioned into pieces. ‘Muslim areas’ is why ‘Raliv, Galiv, Tsaliv’ slogans were raised in Kashmir, ‘Muslim areas’ are why Bihari vendors were killed in Srinagar, ‘Muslim areas’ are the reason millions of Bengali Hindus were killed and raped in East Bengal. How long is this country going to keep paying for ‘Muslim areas’ where the secular laws of the country do not apply?
Who decides what will be a ‘Muslim area’? Are there any defined rules that non-Muslims are not allowed to enter ‘Muslim areas’? In a country that suffered through the brutality of partition on religious grounds, the idea of religious lawless ghettos is being actively promoted by the so-called ‘elites’.
