decide that this show is not please introduce yourself to international audience. tell them who you are and what you do. i my name is odd for fun, am sharon, i work as a senior editor with a new sport to call the y a dot and it is in dallas largest digital platform. i have been a journalist reporting on politics for the past 20 years. i have been living in booking out of new denny, especially reporting on politics policy, any shoes of indian minorities, more specifically, muslims. good to have you on boarding our discussion hello catheter. welcome to the stream, please introduce yourself. and kathy talked to shannon and i am e, communist feminist activist. i'm a bullied middle member of the communist party of india. mock sicily missed liberation. that cpa, mill live edition. and i'm also the secretary of the only group is simmons association. but and, and body service officer director general of police looked up for dish at currently, chancellor, nevada introductory university guiding the as do scholars taking classes of

enlightenment criminal jurisprudence and other allied subjects. thank you. thank you very much thanking gas. say you have met our panel. if you on you chip, i know you she was very big and ask you to have a look at this video and tell me your thoughts. i want to know what kind of attacks are happening and when. so this is a procession a hindu procession that went passcode go to. i've been a leo here. bob nearly yesterday. the rally came out 3 times. it was not a rally, but a threatened away. i will call it a procession of violence. lustre closed the meat shops, there were some boys who couldn't tolerate this, and god knows what happened. why were they brandishing swords? what was the need off? i asked about this because you are based in new delhi, that procession. a was in new delhi, that violence happened quite recently. are we seeing an increase in attacks on lessons? is this unusual? this is unusual, but at the same time, very usual i would say,

but let me just talk about this particular really. and this, particularly the 3rd one, this gentleman is referring to it is by the police. they have said that this was illegal and a still, you know, these people, they carried out this value. so what is happening right now? india is completely unprecedented. i mean, for me, i have not seen it in the last 20 years of my career and people who are older than me. they are saying that since the time of independence and since the assassination of mahatma gandhi in 1948 this, these are perhaps the most serious more grim times. and that may be the most serious challenge to indian democracy and indian secure secularism that fear 50. so at this pattern is very clear. this gentleman, what he's trying to say here is that what happens is that the hindu festivals, which used to be early on occasion for the community, is different religious communities to come together and celebrate. now there they are and icing those very festivals. we saw it 1st in montevideo, fitness, which is

a central state and in india that they are a group of people they were, you know, passing by muslim localities. and that is deliberate. let me tell you this is not some innocent religious processions that are going on. they make sure that they go there to provoke them. the songs that they are playing on out, rightly insulting to muslims in general, muslim women in particular in fact that this is not enough. there are young hindu boys, one dancing to the tunes of songs where they are outright abusing muslims. so basically they're so drunk on hate, that they are dancing to the songs which are hateful, literally abusing muslim slows. and then what happens is that the vague for a minimum reaction from the muslim community. when that is a minimum reaction, like say if a couple of people are going storms or something, then the police comes and arrest those people who reacted to that bullying and publication and insults. and this is not enough. what happens is then the state comes in with all

a spa wall with its bulldozers and bull doors demolition the houses and shops of muslims. so if you are, if, if they are trying to convey here that this is some kind of a community wildlands, i would say india has a headache, is she'll come in a while and what, what we are missing right now is more short path steed. was it you shoes off indian was slips. i was very careful not to use that phrase. camino violence. i. i want to put a couple of ideas to you. victrum. offa says people are drunk on hate. very grim, serious time in india right now for the muslim minority as somebody who has deep experience in the police force in utter pedestrian director general of the police force there. how are you seeing this? i'm gonna say it's an optic in violence, but you can tell me how you see it or what's going on. and what kind of attacks are you seeing semi it's ready, painful to see this come under disturbance because i would rather say the all the legal it gradients of covenant wildlands are there. and the ineptitude and the

inefficiency displayed. i have never seen something like this ever and when i say that the permission was not granted as i defy has been turned that if a permission is not granted, it is the job of the police to ensure that the position is not taken out. there should be absolutely no arms, even the slogan that, that are to, during the course off the position. rob is one of the most peaceful of festivals in the country and to have this kind of mayhem and violence is absolutely unacceptable . now it was the job of the police to regulate the position. if there is no proceedings off, such a position should not have been allowed at of cost, nor weapons, nor in cindy and nor provocative slogans. then when you will be fought a mosque it to the job of the police to and showed that the procession moves of a fos at if dead it is that nas that did the most impetus infer that is going on and the mom is reciting the quote about that to the summit, that could but should not be interrupted or disrupted by loud music slogan,

hearing, et cetera. and the police to jolly will ensure that the position is bosses of the most. and that it's down to pull. you should act as a buffer. rid through respectable people from bold to come in with the strength to act as a buffer, so that that is stored disturbance. now, if the position has vip ends, it is unacceptable. if they're projecting slogans, it is unacceptable. if the rooftops have petrol lumps, weapons, and big, but it is unacceptable, i would say that i am very disappointed at the in efficiency of the local police. and not only the dead, the police at cutting all at got only an estimate. these rights have not happened just in gina bud order, and i just had them happened at dentist is adding, jogging woody, and they have added to drilled a governmental rights. it is not one and the pattern and the basic foundation appears to me to seem. it seems that they're working on article that block or 2 in the sky. and i had expected a block more from the law enforcement agencies. i. so i,

and yet we have to go apples. i. l. exhibitor. that comes in jesus ment, off of the legality of the procession. but i would not agree with his use of the word inefficiency because i think that of what you seeing here is a pattern on part of the state mission. eddie. the police in particular, to act with bias, which is what your ra, a journalist, who's flocked from the p t i before we came on before your panel came on. she also pointed to that that you're having the police and is not the 1st time this is happening. so you have seen other instances in which in 2020 for instance, during a donald trump's visit to india, there was targeted violence against muslim minorities. and over there, the arrests have been by the deli police indelible, is a member, is not to state police, it comes directly under them or the regime under that in the more these are right and man amateur was the home minister. so the deli police are overwhelmingly

arrested muslims, and not just under laws or ordinary laws, it at arrested them under dick warney an anti dead. oh, laws saw it in watts. these anti terror laws and are the under which it is virtually impossible to get bill, which means that people remain imprisoned for years on end. without be there as hindered supremacists who routinely every day you come across instances of them giving a cause to rape. muslim the men cause to kill all muslims are puns. it, they are announcing their plans to are replaced in the us secular constitution. make india into a him, the supremacists, nation. they are saying they're conspiring for this. they're going to do violence, fathers, and yet they are never booked under the are never charged by the police under the section which says, you know, you're trying to, over to the state backed sect. those sections are on most are reserved for muslims or for those were speaking those intellectuals and activists were speaking in support of minorities and, and this is

a pattern. and the other thing that you haven't talked love in us here is what i saw mentioned, which is still a fact that the steed missionary is bringing in all over the country. the vog bulldozer, which is basically the a g, a, c, b machine. and since i, your show is it's placed. and landon's important to remember that this is a, a, primarily a british company. ah, the ah brown, wherein dainty away in washington dc. my accent is based in london though. but faith continued, i am going to show a bulldozer in a just than my wits and you can explain what where say if i have it or would you mind if i do this right now? because i know you understand the context and it's really important to see that. let me just play this because what was happening here was that some within families had their homes or dose because why cavities are this is one of the, one of the places where this is happening. but essentially, the cds here is that these arms, their families had shops which were encroaching on public property. public land are

in other places these, that muslim property, muslim homes are encroaching on public land. but that's a fig leaf. because a, b, a dot, a b, dippy lee does the does of the pathogen that why did the ruling party have made public announcement? seeing where ever they're not rap right mongers? they're the bulldozers and basically right. monga kennedy is our bungler, the she will, he guard. these are all dance of it. speech being used by the ruling party are to signal that the was linds not only are encroaching on public land, but that they do not belong in india, that they are responsible for the violence of which they are the victims. so essentially that are kind of brain where was limbs have been victimized? muslims are being turned into, the accused and in a completely illegal way. their property is there wars are being demolished. can i r s m m l, k, capital? let me move on a little bit because i audience also i want to talk to you and i want to give them some space to dinner. alright, so i hear from you, but also i guess there was,

is off of what is going on, how bad it is in india regarding india's muslim minority. but what is going to be done about it? i have the critique, deep critique, let's push forward. this is zack here, so man zack here belongs to an organization known as the indian muslim women's movement. part of her purpose in life is to try and get citizenship for muslim women in india. and she goes straight to what she feels is an art sir, to this dire situation, india right now, not the politicians. have ellison have look beyond my faith, my li, gonzalez's id and you know, by and large who existed peacefully. so it's up to us the ordinary indians to defeat the politics of hate and religious for lorraine zation. the ordinary women and men be there in those muslims christian seeks. we need to speak out against

this kind of religious division and bigotry. we need to make those in government only. we need to stand up as fellow indians. we need to stand up for humanity. we need to stand up, or beeson justice in our society. we need to stand up, receive the soul of our country and see what is that possible. awful use thought they crim you continue. i think i only partially ugly. that one's ikea is saying that she's saying all of us need to stand up. i would say in my name, you cannot do this under the name of my religion on the protects of saving me, my community and my religion. so it is that i would say it is that significant moment. but besides fact, what it, what, what was that he was saying is that how we can come out of this, i would say, i do not really see, i mean, there's only tunnel. i do not see a deserving that this allegation of compton allegations, the supreme court, the highest horton, if he sees the matter and if they're in the misdemeanor or any one crossing the

light, take a stand and have a no nonsense approach that india is for all indians, india belongs to everyone, the constitutional authority and the construct hadn't the contract, you know, suspect that their citizenship was declared suspect. and the whole campaign are specifically targeted and linguistic and religious minority scheme. um, so the been goalies in muslims was, are of being only speaking origin where a suspicion suspected of being that i have to come having, i'll tie from out of an office that she does not see light at the end of the tunnel . she does not see how to address this dire situation right now. the india is in, are you are using the same let me move on up. i'm going to bring him vikram again, vic brown to be picking up one of them with a young boy. but that would have been a year if you just, i don't was up on even my thought up i to go on my opening my login tucker,

who's been already number one, he has said, i've prepared to go to jail any number of times. i'm prepared to take any number of assaults than the place for him is not the pulpit. the place for him is b, a so called holy man. the place for him is behind bars and his jealous that he is prepared to go a multiple times round of us, but let the push dog to support who explains what they fil is fueling these attacks. and maybe the answer is in politics. if it's not with indian people that have listened, let's have a look. violence eagle street in india is increasing formerly duties please. when the us would become more english. what is the other who she endured visibly across india. secondly, that wasn't political, but in the broad habit, i'm just going to say that as a closing thought, i redid invite the b j p to be part of that discussion and really sunday that they

didn't want to be. it's a difficult conversation for them to have. do you understand as, as a member of not one of the main parties, but a political party in india can cavity hear us. we're having connection issues there and we move that question along to arthur. oh, well definitely it does live with them, but my primary question would be that the does the ruling party be believe in and in constitution any more or not? because the way they are those things, you know, idea also stablish the rule of law would be on the government of india on the ruling party. but the, my primary question here would be, do they have been even a small part of the government does not say that the believe in democracy often constitution any more? i feel bad where i live my hopes. yeah, i hear despair offer cavities. vikram. thank you for taking part in this conversation on youtube. some thoughts here. some of our clients feel that this is the beginning of a potential genocide in india. how susie,

they are feeling this. and the facile says hate politics is on the rise, and party empower is playing this card very dangerously. this conversation is not over yet, but for today, for this broadcast. it is thanks for watching. i see you next time. ah ah. how it, why did it become so obsessed from algae. there is a mobile app available in your favorite app store. just set for it and tapped on a theme happened in the us state of oregon. these helicopters flying over the ridge, bringing something and they didn't even see the kids to where.
