According to the neighbours, Ishaq was mentally challenged. “He was a simple boy who did not bring any harm to anyone,”
Not only was he murdered because of a fucking banana, he was also mentally challenged. They lynched a mentally challenged man because of a fruit.
I can’t put my disgust for these people into words.
Don’t just blame those killers who were present; blame the politicians who created an environment in which violent Hindu nationalist rhetoric is normalised, their supporters are encouraged to persecute religious minorities, and events like this happen with growing regularity.
There’s a reason that the UK, EU and US all had travel bans on Narandra Modi for a decade, for his government’s complicity in the anti-Muslim pogrom in Gujarat in 2002 when he was chief minister, in which hundreds of Muslims were killed by Hindu nationalist mobs. The world has known what sort of person Modi is for a very long time and it’s shameful that he has reached 9 years as Indian prime minister before many people outside the country have started to take note of what he is is doing to the country of Gandhi and Nehru.
Even in the most developed nations, we’re a few meals away from acting even worse. This is just humans without law and with rampant religion
He wasn’t lynched because people were starving. He was lynched because of religious violence, which is going on all over India right now, usually Hindus attacking, and sometimes killing, Muslims. Because Modi’s party is a Hindu supremacist party. Imagine if Trump were more open about his feelings about black people and Jews and you have Modi and his party and the results.
No. The BJP is specifically encouraging a rise in fascism in India. You’re gonna see more and more of these lynchings and if it keeps going this way we’re gonna see a night of broken glass and nuclear war with Pakistan.
There’s a subreddit that regularly popped up in my /all for India and people have no idea what’s normal there. Well spoken Indian redditors calling for more lynchings and ethnic cleansing, no dissident voices…
Religion is a fucking disease
I blame Hindu-nationalism.
More like religious-nationalism. Everywhere you have hard core religious zealots that are also nationalist, you get this. This is why separation of church and state is so fucking important and must never be allowed to be eroded.
No diagreement here, since hindu-nationalism is one of the many variants of religious-nationalism.
The boy ate a Banana and was killed because people thought he stole it? This is pure Madness.

This is why i don’t believe in god anymore.
Sounds like a completely fair and balanced response to the hideous crime this chap committed in cold blood. /s
