Way forward

  • In order to protect our constitutional values of individual dignity, Equality and liberty we must strive to discourage and remove hate filled messages from our society.
  • Political leadership must take a leadership role in disowning hateful elements within their party and uphold their commitment to our constitution.
  • A comprehensive anti-hate legislation and policy must be brought to act as a deterrent against hate crimes.
  • Recent positive developments like decriminalisation of homosexuality have shown that our society is empathetic towards minorities. A few anti-social elements must not be allowed to jeopardise gains made in this regard.
  • Only a coalition of the oppressed castes, classes and gender across religions can overcome communalism
  • struggle for secularisation has to go along with the resistance to the majoritarian attempt to equate majority and minority communalism
  • The scourge and cycle of communal hatred and violence can be stopped only by ending first the history of false equivalences and selective silences.
