A History of Hindu Grievance Exploited
| Title: | A History of Hindu Grievance Exploited | | Author: | Mark Tully | | Publication: | Art Newspaper | | Enumeration: | Vol. 14, p.23, February 2004 | | Abstract: | In India, the militant Hindu group the Sabhaji Brigade has reacted violently to a perceived insult to the devout Hindu warrior Shiva in a recent book by Professor James Laine, but this sense of grievance does not grow in unfertile ground. In multifaith India, there is a history that feeds Hindu grievance, and Hindu nationalists claim that resistance from such minority communities as Christians and Muslims has prevented India from becoming a Hindu nation; they also highlight any concession made to such communities. The weak response to aggressive Hinduism by the government of the secular Congress Party and the banning of Laine's book on Shiva do not bode well for the future of India as a multifaith society.
