Hindu Right in India Surveilling Interfaith Couples
India’s Hindu right is cherry-picking a high-profile murder incident to surveil interfaith couples. The incident in question is the murder of an Indian-American Hindu woman, Srinivas Kuchibhotla, by an American white nationalist in February 2017. The Hindu right has used this incident to target and monitor interfaith couples by claiming that they are a threat to Hindu culture. The Hindu right is a relatively new political force in India, emerging in the 1990s. The right-wing Hindu nationalist group, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), is the largest and most influential organization in the Hindu right. The RSS has been accused of promoting Hindu supremacy and inciting violence against religious minorities. The RSS and other Hindu right-wing groups have been behind the surveillance of interfaith couples in India. They have argued that interfaith marriages are a threat to Hindu culture, and that Hindu women should not be allowed to marry outside their religion. The RSS has also been accused of using the Kuchibhotla murder as a pretext to target interfaith couples. The RSS has been actively involved in surveilling interfaith couples in India. They have been monitoring social media posts, phone calls, and other activities of interfaith couples. They have also set up a network of informants to report any “inappropriate” behavior by couples. The RSS has also been accused of using the Kuchibhotla murder to spread fear and hatred among Hindus. They have been using the incident to portray interfaith couples as a threat to Hindu culture and to promote the idea that Hindus should not marry outside their religion. The Hindu right’s surveillance of interfaith couples has been widely condemned by civil society groups. They have argued that it is a violation of basic human rights and an attack on the values of secularism, equality, and freedom of religion. The surveillance of interfaith couples by the Hindu right is not only a violation of human rights, it is also a threat to the Indian Constitution and its commitment to secularism. The Indian Constitution guarantees freedom of religion and prohibits discrimination based on religion. The Hindu right’s use of the Kuchibhotla murder to target and monitor interfaith couples is yet another example of the insidious and dangerous tactics they use to promote their agenda. It is a stark reminder that the Hindu right is not only a threat to the values of secularism and equality, but also to the safety and security of interfaith couples in India.
Right to Privacy & Surveillance of Interfaith Couples
The surveillance of interfaith couples by the Hindu right is a violation of the right to privacy as protected by the Indian Constitution. The constitution guarantees the right to privacy as a fundamental right and prohibits any state interference in the private lives of citizens. The surveillance of interfaith couples has been further enabled by the increasing surveillance and tracking technologies available to the Hindu right. These technologies are being used to monitor the activities of interfaith couples and to collect data on their activities. The surveillance of interfaith couples by the Hindu right is also a violation of international human rights laws. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion. This right includes the right to form and maintain relationships with people of different faiths.
Rise in Hate Crimes & Discrimination Against Interfaith Couples
The surveillance of interfaith couples by the Hindu right has led to a rise in hate crimes and discrimination against interfaith couples in India. In recent years, there has been an increase in attacks on interfaith couples and incidents of social ostracization. The Hindu right’s use of surveillance technologies to monitor and target interfaith couples has also resulted in an increase in online harassment and threats directed at couples. The Hindu right has been accused of using online platforms to spread hate speech and incite violence against interfaith couples.
Response of Civil Society Groups
Civil society groups have been calling for an end to the surveillance of interfaith couples by the Hindu right. They have been demanding that the government take action to protect the rights of interfaith couples and ensure that their right to privacy is respected. In response to the surveillance of interfaith couples, civil society groups have also organized protests and campaigns to raise awareness about the issue. They have been calling for the government to take action to protect the rights of interfaith couples and to ensure that their right to privacy is respected.
Conclusion
The surveillance of interfaith couples by the Hindu right is a violation of human rights and a threat to the Indian Constitution’s commitment to secularism and equality. Civil society groups have been calling for an end to the surveillance of interfaith couples and for the government to take action to protect the rights of couples. The Kuchibhotla murder has been used by the Hindu right as a pretext to target and monitor interfaith couples, and it is a reminder that the Hindu right is not only a threat to secularism and equality, but also to the safety and security of interfaith couples in India.
