The bjp government introduced the ucc bill in Uttarakhand which has made it mandatory for live in couples to register with the government and a copy of the registration will be sent to respective families. It also added the father as a first class legal heir for inheritance of property, encroaching upon the the right of the mother, wife, daughter (the actual victims of patriarchy, who most likely did not have any social right to gain access to financial independence or inheritance from other family members) to accommodate the father, who more than likely than not already has financial freedom and ownership rights over land property. Moving on, they removed the Muslim personal law, which guaranteed the rights of the daughter in a fixed inheritance percentage. Not to mention the whole act is modelled after hindu personal laws and demanding other religions to bend according to it is inherently regressive no matter how progressive the law on paper looks to be. So should I just bang my head against the wall right now and be done with it or watch as the bjp government slowly sets fire to all our lives?

Former President Obama in an upcoming interview with CNN says it is “appropriate” for President Biden to challenge foreign leaders on issues in their country that are “troubling.”
Obama gave his comments ahead of the official state visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has been criticized for his government’s treatment of Muslims and a weakening of press freedoms.
“I do think that it is appropriate for the President of the United States, where he or she can, to uphold those principles and to challenge — whether behind closed doors or in public — trends that are troubling. And so, I’m less concerned about labels than I’m concerned about specific practices,” he told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour.
He added that protecting the rights of minority groups in India is essential.
“Part of my argument would be that if you do not protect the rights of ethnic minorities in India, then there is a strong possibility India at some point starts pulling apart. And we’ve seen what happens when you start getting those kinds of large internal conflicts,” he said.
In the full interview, which will air Thursday night, Obama said that part of the duties as President is to meet with leaders of other countries and their governments, even if they aren’t fully democratic.
“But you have to do business with them — because they’re important for national security reasons — there are a range of economic interests,” he said.
“If the president meets with Prime Minister Modi, then the protection of the Muslim minority in a majority-Hindu India, that’s something worth mentioning,” Obama added.
Biden, Obama’s former Vice President, made joint remarks with Modi at the White House on Thursday. The Indian prime minister did not respond to a question about the treatment of Muslims in India ahead of a bilateral meeting.
Modi, on his first state visit to the United States, will also give a joint address to Congress later Thursday, which will be boycotted by some Democrats.

As he raised the national flag for the eleventh time in a row, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared that India’s 140 crore people could become a developed and successful nation if they stood together with unwavering conviction.

PM Modi और Ami Shah पर बरसे Rahul Gandhi, कहा- कोई भी शक्ति भारत के संविधान को नहीं छू सकती
कांग्रेस नेता राहुल गांधी ने सोमवार को कहा कि प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी और केंद्रीय गृह मंत्री अमित शाह द्वारा संविधान पर “हमला” विपक्ष के नेतृत्व वाले इंडिया गुट को स्वीकार्य नहीं है। कांग्रेस नेता ने यह बयान उस दिन दिया जब 18वीं लोकसभा का पहला सत्र शुरू हुआ। पत्रकारों को संबोधित करते हुए, रायबरेली के सांसद ने कहा कि कोई भी शक्ति संविधान को छू नहीं सकती है और संविधान की एक पुस्तिका दिखाई। राहुल…

I saw a post recently about how socialists calling modi a dictator negates the fact that he is one, because if he was, then we wouldn't be able to call him that. Similarly, india is not fascist because then we wouldn't be able to say that either. Even though this will not gain much traction, I would like to write down my understanding of the issue.
Also, the idea that all leftists seem to idolise the gandhis is by itself a 'gotcha' moment is somewhat comical. Indeed, there are leftists who think that the Congress rule was much more favorable. That the Gandhis were more 'socialist'. This is stupid. Comparatively, yes the Congress was more ready to tolerate protests. But the mobility of the left was just as restricted. The treatment of J. P. Narayan is one thing, but the suppression of the insurgency of the Red Corridor proves that the Congress had no actual socialist sympathies. You might say that the Congress gives 'freebies' in the sense that their welfare policies for the poor had a socialist tinge. But that can be said of all the parties in the world. All of them give a certain amount of 'freebies' to tide over the weaker sections, but this is not socialism. This is realpolitik.
The left does not idolise the Gandhi phase further because even under Congress, left organisations both at the student and the provincial level were created, did fight for their goals, and were similarly suppressed. Another example of this being the removal of the CPI government by use of the Presidential Rule decree.
Organisations like CPI, CPI (M) have existed even when the Congress had a 'socialist tinge', because this tinge is not enough for leftists. This is not the goal. Similarly at the student level, AISA, SFI, DISHA have existed since before BJP rule. The aim is not the removal of BJP or Modi, or the defeat of fascism even. The aim is to establish a socialist state. Not welfare. Not a state that gives 'freebies'. A state that moves beyond capitalist relations of production and is no longer engaged in it. Whatever that looks like politically, the idea behind it remains the same.
Now, I would like to lay out my own understanding of the term 'fascism' (as a history graduate, as someone who plans to continue doing history in today's political and economic climate) and to further lay out why india is becoming one. It is not one yet, but we're certainly sliding into it. Or, more likely that we were becoming one before the outcome of the election. To be clear, this election has not changed much in terms of the actual outcome, but by itself it is proof that we're not fully doomed.
First, to define fascism is tricky. The definitions that exist are quite confusing. So i will spare the reader the jargon and lay out its basics. Roger Griffin's definition is the most commonly employed: a political ideology that might in practice vary in its actual manifestation but relies in fact on selling the idea of 'palingenesis' i.e., rebirth of the nation to the masses, culminating in popular ultra-nationalist sentiments. This is supplemented by the use of force, by again and again harking to enemies within and outside, real and imaginary, to create a state of mass hysteria where one is made to feel that one can only believe the state. In this way, fascism is a step ahead of mere dictatorship: its popularly backed and even when the leader dies the ideology lives on. Again, this is my own interpretation of the definition.
From my own understanding of the definition and my experience 2014 onwards, I've concluded that we at least no longer live in a democracy. You are free to ask if we live in a fascist state. In that case, I believe that we're not in it yet. We're still able to critique to some extent the policies we do not agree with and the man himself. But, as someone who has been detained at protests, I will say that the right to negotiate with the state has been severely curtailed. Also, in that vein, calling him a fascist dictator and the country on the path to fascism is not particularly permitted. If these sentiments are repeated publicly, for eg. in university campuses or even classrooms, you will suddenly find yourself very much targetted. I'm speaking again from experience. Within state universities, the teaching faculty is often berated and sometimes replaced for their left or 'progressive' sympathies. We're often advised to not repeat such sentiments in public by professors and even parents. So, is this not in some way some tangible proof that calling Mr. Modi a fascist is indeed dangerous and cannot be done and that saying that India is turning towards fascism is similarly treated at best with ridicule and scorn and at worst with violence and suppression? Yes, you can probably do it online, but that is because it affords to you a certain degree of anonymity, so your actual safety is not threatened. But still the sort of vile comments that one is met with when such arguments are made (rape threats for one, made both in public and online) is enough argument, or so I hope.
I've also seen the argument that we're merely parroting what the western media is saying. We're anti-national, you say. Anti-hindu as well because we cannot stand the religion and its glory.
Most western media up until the recent election have appreciated Modi and his skill in the international arena. He's popular there, make no mistake. If you put aside a few indie publications, you will see unequivocal support of the man. In India, too, that is the case. Where it is not, eg. NewsClick, the voices are suppressed by the state machinery. What happens then is that there is a trial, and the judiciary comes to say that these people are actually not guilty, but the damage is done-- the people involved are ruined, the organisation is ruined. The same can be said about those who get arrested on 'urban naxal' charges, like Professor G. N. Saibaba, who still ended up spending a decade in jail. In this period, his mother passed away, and he was not permitted to attend her funeral. I want you to ask yourself why the convicted rapists of Bilkis Bano are allowed multiple bails for xyz reasons, but a man accused of having 'urban naxal' sympathies is not?
Lastly, scholars like Bipan Chandra, Harjot Oberoi, Christopher Jaffrelot, and Gyan Pandey have argued that communalism and communal politics are colonial creations. These are not given realities of the Indian system. They're very much colonial tools which we have dragged into our world now. Communal leaders and their supporters believe that the success of one community comes at the expense of other: there is simply no other way to do politics then. Communal questions seek communal answers and the BJP provides them.
We argue that Modi is fascist and that BJP is a fascist organisation because of its ties with RSS and his international ties. His ties with Giorgia Meloni-- putting the memes aside-- are significant. Giorgia Meloni belongs to the 'Brothers of Italy'. The party stands behind the glory of Benito Mussolini, the OG fascist, who came to be allied with Nazi Germany. The core ideology of BJP and RSS is the creation of a Hindu Rashtra. Again, you might say: what is so wrong with that? What seems to be the problem?
The problem, you might have noticed or not, are in his recent speeches. In what he claims to support and what he condemns. In what he says and what he does on the other hand. Those have gotten popular enough that one need not repeat his words. If you believe nothing else, then please ask yourself about the language he uses in his speeches. Ask yourself why you permit it. The state is subject to popular scrutiny; when it becomes the other way around, then you are no longer safe, no matter who you are.
You're free to appreciate his work in the country and outside. You're free to appreciate the construction of the Ram Mandir and the scrapping of Article 370. You simply have to ask the question: Why are you voting for him based on these?
