Editorial Perspectives

  • The religious fanatics who have no fear of law look for excuses to attack Hindus. Not a single Hindu festival goes without being attacked by fanatics, it is evident from such incidents that are happening regularly. Now Hindu Rashtra is needed for Hindus to be able to celebrate festivals peacefully.
  • It is usual for the police to hesitate to take action against the culprits. Such incidents repeatedly show that the police are unable to protect Hindus. For this reason, what is wrong in thinking that Hindu youths have no choice but to take self-defense training ?
