Why mob lynching is immune to the constitution


Recent killing of Tabrez Ansari was the 18th case of mob lynching in Jharkhand alone. Except few states of north-east and south almost everywhere the horror of mob lynching is same. Everyday we get the news of the extremist mob killing the people from minority communities. This series of continuous violence against marginalized communities (specially Muslims) was started after the arrival of NDA government at center. Gujarat model which includes the state sponsored violence against minorities was brought to the centre for its nationwide implementation. Initially when this cycle of violence started, many people come up with high level of resistance but from that days to this day, the violence against Muslims is at rise and its being normalized and institutionalized.                    Many people asks for the reason behind mob lynching. I think that if you are breathing in the air of India then you can easily find out the reason. The rise of RSS to the power was based upon the hatred against Muslims and nothing else. Neither development manifesto nor the corruption of congress was responsible for the victory of Narendra Modi. His involvement in 2002 riots was sole reason why majority of the Hindus give him massive mandate. From long ago BJP-RSS leaders are spreading venom against Muslims and now they got their aim when common Hindus also started hating the Muslims. Maximum TV anchor keep throwing propaganda against Muslims and increase their TRP. On other hand trolls over social media keep promoting the violence against Muslims. Throughout the Indian social media, you can easily find the right wing supporters calling for the exodus or the genocide of the Muslims. Apart from anonymous trolls, many are followed by the senior leadership of BJP and few are followed by the Narenda Modi himself. From the parliament to the streets of this country, BJP leaders and their sympathisers keep bashing Muslims. So after this whole high level hierarchy of the propaganda against Muslims, if Muslims are getting killed by the random mobs of the Hindus then nothing unpredictable is happening. Culprits of mob lynching are going unpunished because ruling government have great sympathy and soft corner for the killers. They don't want to lose Hindu vote bank by punishing the killers who killed the people of another faith for the sake of Hindutava. All institutions are filled with the members of RSS and they let go these people unpunished.                 Another important aspect is that extremists who kill Muslims in mob lynching are glorified in their community. They are sharing stages with ruling party leadership and are being presented as heros. This mindset of cult following is most dangerous aspect in this whole scenario. In the cases of mob lynching local police officials, administration, judiciary, media and government officials are on the side of culprits and not on the side of victim. So how can we expect from them to stop the killings and punish the culprits.                                    By the continuous massive propaganda, RSS got success in dehumanizing the Muslims. Common Hindus don't consider the Muslims as equal to them anymore. They have started thinking of the Muslims who are totally different from them. Who ate different food, have different interests and are not fit in the frame of nationalism. These all trends are leading India towards a bigger genocide then the Holocaust of the Jews. This had happened in Germany and Srebrenica, in our own country this had happened in 1984 and 1992, so this can also happen once again.
