In the present-day India under Narendra Modi’s Hindutva government, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, who has been regarded by the Indians as “Father of the Nation” until before the Bharatiya Janata Party came into power, is portrayed as a de-mon in religious places to wipe out the apparent secular face of India and turn the country into a blatant Hindu rashtra (state).
The latest incident took place in Kolkata, the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal, where police are investigating a case wherein Hindu god-dess Durga is seen attacking a statue of Gandhi with her trident at Navratri Durga Puja hall.—KMS
