Ever since the Narendra Modi led BJP government has come to power, the people of the state, of all faiths, are waging everyday struggles for survival at a time when the BJP-led central government is unleashing a neoliberal onslaught in the shape of more FDI in insurance, Defence, railways etc, and changes in labour laws.

Recently “a church in Delhi burnt down and communal riots broke out on the eve of Muharram”. There are many such riots, if one tries to pen down the list of communal riots by RSS-BJP, off course it’s going to take long hours.
