attack, but the fact a leader in me opposition party is disqualified from parliament after much criticized conviction. is this a reality check with the opposition? i get ahead of national ah i'm british manager, welcome to d w. news asia. glad you could join us in india. food has become political, being vegetarian is closely associated with being a hindu. and now it's also d tied to nationalism. it's come to be known as vegetarian nationalism as part of it right being hinder groups routinely forced the closure of butcher shops. for instance, during festivals for hindus, when worshippers abstained from eating meet with muslims, heavily engaged in the meat trade, the message is clear. the minority community work at the pleasure of the majority.

these men are the self appointed group of vigilantes. i need a deeper guardia direct, their searches of trucks at the stall gate. oh yeah. i didn't looking for cows. oh, goes up secret the hindus, but not to muslims. no more than i mostly my muslims are the ones who kill and eat our cows and hurt the sentiments of hindus. guy to stop cow slaughter. we are ready to give our lives and also take the lives of these people and we will not stop in this mission. natal gang. a result of that of the 2 drivers clearly did a fight. so the 101 is head to the glass bato again,

tomorrow they see they're taking them to it. did he fall in with? yeah, not for slaughter. no, i get a. 1 eventually, the vigilantes hand, the drivers to the police officers have been parked nearby for much of the time ex foot see such so called w lan t's as part of a white a campaign against india's muslim minority gisela writes about security and islam. i think the law jalyssa is very clear that the academy has been creative of those who have the 1st right to the nation and those who are the 2nd

class citizens. the government found the new credit of the off i during the minority communities. ah kidding. some sort of i hate campaign against them. ma'am . what did these is up which are in the not don't state of her yana. this was 2 weeks ago during the 9 the hindu festival at nora, 3 state authorities post butcher shops close during the sacred in lou festivals. his freezer cannot eat meat good for long enough. it's all rotten. he won't be able to sell it. his family depends on the shop. but this month he's likely to on half of that $120.00 euros he usually earns. gotta go with his even got closed, my shop for fear of the mob like of them. i've heard they come with sticks and be butchers in the lakeland and even if we report such things to the police,

we know there will be no help from them. well, madison, i knew, as of all the butcher's in this market, or in the same situation whatsoever, limited in the business and debt, if i added that, the vigilantes might one day come for them. a lot of maldonado, my for more context, i'm joined now from delhi by piece activist and author hodgman there. he's also chairperson of the center for a pretty studies in in doubt miss, i'm on the, the term vegetarian nationalism in india has sort of come to define right wing hinder groups dictating food choices for the rest of the population. what do they want to achieve with their actions? i think what they won't do. it is 2 things. one is certain, you know, what is ition of hindu does in culture back to says ok, which is a false homogenization. because

a large number of induce actually are not rigid and it also people have disadvantage costs and the indigenous people tend to eat meat in much larger numbers. but the other side, and i think the more important part of all of this campaign is to a deposition of the alleged vegetarian cultural practices of hindus violated and disrespected allegedly by muslims. so, so it is really attempting to demonize it's one more instrument again, is lives in it and how much of this is it perhaps by official signed from

i think it is entirely a did hey official sanction because you see for the symbol of one of the most powerful symbols of internationalism, today is the cult and the, it is profess that the go is secret to hindus. and, and it is muslims who was in eaten cell de moot. and so the se in state of the state, which is a b, b, a ruling party, the passing laws that actually have very stringent punishments for killing goes up 10 years and, and gone in states in some states. they've even cheated special beings off

off to police fork of protection. but i think most importantly for civilian vigilante groups, which are video aggressive and sort of a part of the sort of looping hindu nationalist games for missions. i work closely and openly with the police in, in searching. vickers in case goes, are being taken in attacking a people in the name of traveling. tell me a huge amount of the lynching. actually the single biggest cause of limiting since 2017, which is like an epidemic has been allegations of slaughter. right. and we did have a report in which we actually see how these col protection squads of the light to call themselves work. but through all of this, mr. mander,

where are the opposition parties, murders the opposition to these actions? what has happened is that i think that the, the, the so called secular political parties. i'm more and more hesitant to these questions which they believe in defense of muslims when they are being attacked in opposition to heat it, but also in opposition to with the lender action around the go. you know that the assumption behind this i think is a flawed one, which is the assumption that all hindus have good radical lights or the majority of them and you would lose a little support if you raised christians in defense of the muslim minority or in opposition to alleged into just practices. i mean, even if that was the case, it was important for them to stand up and be counted. but it is not the case. it is still a small, a very noisy majority,

supported with by the ruling establishment that says, represent, and not all hindus will have to leave a barbara, thanks so much about contracts harsh munger. now, a new electoral problem is starting the opposition in its face. how to defeat the ruling media fee in general dimensions in a years time, especially since just 3 weeks back wrong, gandhi, of the opposition congress body was disqualified from parliament after being convicted in a definition case. that conviction has since been challenged, but it's also led india's dis, united opposition to consider uniting forces to avoid the same thing happening to them as well. ah, for nearly 5 months, starting late last year, joel gandy walked more than 3000 kilometers across the country at every stop. gandhi that he fact to leader of india mean opposition party was welcomed by masses

of people along his route. signs of popularity that could have been his undoing. on march 20 could, he was sentenced to 2 years in a defamation case, a gun these conviction and his subsequent disqualification from parliament seems to have brought about a sudden spurt of unity among the opposition. 6 after our gandhi's conviction, 14 political parties, petitioned the supreme court, saying that the opposition parties are being selectively targeted by the current regime. although the court rejected the plea, that petition demonstrated a rare moment of unity amongst india's fractious opposition. douglas chateau from the ahmad me party, the drooling party of delhi called gandhi's conviction a political conviction and persecution. and says that the b to be government has been using every trick in the book a new make india, an opposition, less democracy, leading at a board that said that 95 percent of the cases offering this premier investigative

agency. that is the c b i are against a member of the opposition. so with a roy also belongs to a regional body from the state of fest been gone. he to condense the action taken against ronald on the, even though his party has had differences with the congress for years. but he thinks that gandhi's conviction would serve as a catalyst for a more coordinated political campaign. the skin only referred to roku long it will fusion. and when she's grecian causal for the implementation, the longer open for it to cal analyst aggregate, he believes a big change is possible. if political bodies play that god's right opposition can stick our own together, can go down to the new dignity of those calculation of electoral construct. wincy wise, there's absolutely no reason why this from the north webber to from bomb or german

. i'm then they are forced with that they need a strong count on not a to run. i've been arguing for long not count another last baron law school. well fed policies agenda election is slated for 2024, but will this year and all gone these disqualification be enough to bring together the various political bodies. the challenge prime minister movie a jo are, is a long time in politics. but india's opposition parties, me find it not long enough. and that doesn't want to do this more on our website and continued to morrow to buy oh, he is the youngest, among the greatest. the canadian pianist, john leesha, etzky. ah, you leads audiences into the unknown, exploring its boundaries. ah, john lee shanaski,
