Rising Fundamentalist Fever In Indian Society

South Asia has born unique cultural diversities for a long time. The region was called Aryavarta or Jamboodipa at the ancient era. Many tribes came here and they settled here serially since that time. The basis of ethnicity, religious and lingual India has a large combination of thousands of communities in her this time. After the independent in 1974, she had been developing similar social common value which was stood on the foundation of diversities. But, Indian social media and other some incidents are showing ugly symptoms of social conflict now. Culturally or democratically India has been more or less playing a pivotal role in this sub-continent too. The negative atmosphere in Indian society throws impact on the other countries in the region because of her ethnic link in neighbouring countries. 

Indian fundamentalists are seemly active to change the social values under the umbrella of state power. Hinduism is suddenly starting to define as nationalism. Besides Hinduism, there are other important components also of Indian nationality. The fact is trying to forget and minorities are pushing to be margined. Secularism is not meaning to be their opposition congress or communist parties, but they are forcibly bending the fact. 

Narendra Damodar Modi came from the legacy of Hindu fundamental organization RSS and later achieved the Delhi thrown under the umbrella of mild Hindu political organization Bharatiya Janata Party. The Hindu religious expansionism is unilaterally trying to dominate other minorities in the regime. After the partition in 1947, it is the second time the Indian society is going forward to facing a disastrous social storm again. The 'bhagawa' coloured regime in Delhi is diluting the religious fundamentalism deeply in the Indian politics. For this bad deed Muslim fundamentalism is also has been provoking it negatively in this way. 

The human right worker, journalist, and intellectuals who criticize their bad deeds are also facing harassment by power protected hooligans. Recently; Najibhai, a human right activist who filed the application for transparency about the funds spent on the local road construction in Gujarat was killed on 9th March. Human right Watch says about 38 cases of harassment and 10 cases of killing done by the ultra-nationalist Hindu supporters in 2017. Likewise, journalist Gauri Langkesh was killed in Bangalore in the same year. An intellectual named M.M Kulbargi shot dead in 2014 and untouchable caste Dalit campaigner Narendra Dabolker killed in 2013. 

India is loosing is the secular character that was hardly established as the realization after the nightmare of Indo-Pak partition in 1947. In a multi-religious, multi-cultural and multi-lingual country something should connect diversities in favour of national unity. Every part and community should accommodate together in harmony. Diversity is not the meaning of weakness but the strength of a country and first condition to the successful democracy.
