My name is Arthur Ashe Taseer im a writer and a columnist. In this the 2nd of 2 films im traveling through india the country i grew up in. I want to see for myself the changes taking place amid a rising tide of him do it for the hindu 1st politics these ideas which place hindus above people of other faiths stem from the very top leadership in this land of 1300000000 people. I started my journey in the holy city of our and i see in northern india. This is a deeply religious country in the middle of a battle for her soul and it is no surprise that it was this place of the hindu nationalist leader in the range of modi chose this election battleground republic sing its powerful symbolism in a new time. Behind this image of a religiously diverse nation india faces a new mini crisis. And minorities including 200000000. 00 muslims fear an underlying current of violence mob brutality and death at the hands of hindu hardliners the hardliners claim injustice is against him dues for muslim rule and sentries past justifies their drive to return india to a golden age as they see it and a nation where hindus come 1st hindu is making up to get back the birthplace is off his ancestors and these films ive been asking where did these ideas come from. Following independence in 1947 which was closely intertwined with the bloody episode of partition some people had thought that the politics of division was finally a thing of the past in the newly created secular state of india all would be equal before the law but here the word secular would come to have a particularly indian meaning. Secular in india merely meant a the existence of a profusion of religions all of which were allowed and encouraged by the state to flourish. But over the past few decades a series of events occurred that threaten the very fabric of indias secular identity it set then tiny b. G. P. Political party on course to become the ruling power they are today on the 6 of december 1902 a crowd of 150000 militants supporters of the pro hindu r. S. S. Descended on the barbary mosque in the northern town of the reputed birthplace of the hindu god ram i was standing next to the mosque when this crowd started increasing the gate broke down and the huge rush of people inside beyond the control of the of it i should put down was a Young Journalist and a key witness to the events that were to unfold. What they started doing was breaking the barricade philistine barricading all around and with the fury that could be even that was visible they walked in within. Half an hour you saw dozens of people at the mosque. With its pro hindu agenda the r. S. S. Had long been agitating to destroy the 16th century mosque built by the mogul ruler barber and reclaimed the sacred ground for him booze for them the existence of the mosque was a long standing move when you saw this thing come down what did you see what. I thought about the the social and political back i said well there now this is a divide that theyve created in the country yet taking us back to 947 when india was divided. In the riots that followed between muslims and hindus some 2000 people were killed for Indian Muslims these events meant much more than just the loss of a defunct building. Businesses and i. Dentity it was not the mosque was not it was not the mosque that was important for the of that identity so do you feel that that the new politics had been born absolutely feel like a new politics of division of division began. This was a division that would change the face of indian politics one that pushed many among the 80 percent hindu majority to support the b j p at that time a relatively obscure political party. Truly astonishing to hear sherrod story because it makes so clear how the stage was set for this Political Drama to play out in which a defunct mosque became the vessel of religious passions. This hindu reawakening was underlined by a long running t. V. Adaptation of the hindu epic the ra milan for years record numbers of indians were grouped by the series that chronicled the life of lord rum and tapped into a deep sense of pride and nostalgia among them. Its really amazing for me to see because i grew up on the t. V. Serial its the raw mine and it was played to india in the eightys to great passion and large audiences and knowing it has a kind of an edge to it because we have large audiences again were in a stone quarry where the stones are being prepared for a future ram temple where the mosque had been demolished. For 28 years lawyers forto over the rights and wrongs of building a temple to lord ram on the site of the barbary mosque in the meantime the stones for the new temple were caught with the confidence that the situation in favor of building the long awaited temple would surely come. All this was our political tell way of i dont know well lets talk again about our thoughts how well the mighty monday at the door mom. American much more than monarchy at our place a value only because if we didnt even have been able to get a look when we get a look at that. Is newsmaking the hindu is making up to get back down birthplaces of his ancestors. Kenny into can go and make use temples in jerusalem no can i go room and build exam temple or hindu temple there no can i go to maka and build a temple there no i will not be allowed. Why we are considered different when the case of your dad comes. It is the but face of arda. What weve seen is the construction of partitions in hearts and minds of millions of people across the country i think hurtling in a direction which is potentially catastrophic the. Same truth to the idea of india that the leadership of the represented was that india would be a country big dark matter which god you worship or if you were shipped no good book what that would beach you would be and if you be an equal citizen that was elected the same true cornerstone of all 14 stood for many of us believe that the issue was resolved for ever but it was not the bridge of it have succeeded in uniting. All communities into believing that there is a common enemy which is the muslim war the also has the backing of the largest Civil Society organization in the world. Which is which is the this is which is deeply committed to the ideology of indiscipline this is. The campaign to get back the sides of the barbary mosque for the hindus had been running for years. But the act that made it possible came from a completely unexpected event one that played into a negative narrative about muslims and secularism promoted by the r. S. S. In 96 and otherwise obscure family dispute involving a muslim couple that became known as the shah banner case reached the Supreme Court in delhi. The has been claimed he divorced his wife islamic lee by saying they were to lock on 3 occasions. Our of Muhammad Khan was a cabinet minister at the time. Just repeated grace and its all over and now we have cause for the court absolutely divorcing you had not divorce her on the day you had diverted. Under into secular law the court refused to recognize the triple telarc islamic divorce he was ordered to pay his wife maintenance Congress Party pm and member of the narrow gandhi did misty rajiv gandhi initially supported the judgment his 1st instinct was the right one which was to back the Supreme Court decision that granted this poor old lady alimony and to encourage his cabinet ministers are a moment can you spoken to to sister in parliament and to say so with some courage and lehmans. The personal low board which represented muslims claim the award was against islamic law angry clerics demonstrated outside parliament. The stand of the Personnel Board was that these judgement is against islam this is interference in the slum called therefore it must be rajiv gandhi buckled under the protest of conservative clerics he went back on his decision and passed a bill that reversed the Supreme Court ruling the case would now be judged under muslim personal law in tightening the wife just 3 months maintenance seeing this is an assault on womens rights progressive muslims and many hindus were appalled company came under attack from both sides. Gandhi in the worst mistake of his life by extending to these conservative elements and overturning the Supreme Court judgement and taking away her date to maintenance indian politics took a turn from theft. Boy dave eason was dead the leg wage which was the spoke trade training language our excited by limited meeting of the parts and low board open call was given to brag but it the leads of all those m. P. s who defied reports and if it is which was the jewels again and again definitively composted a Supreme Court which at that will smash the Supreme Court may just pieces yes. There was a discourse about appeasement to muslims the idea that people are going to look for muslims. Many hindus what im good at what they saw as the state caving in to muslim demands. For years the pro hindu r. S. S. Had agitated to access to the barbary mosque in new york here. To placate them rajiv gandhi ordered the site to be open for hindu prayer. A decision that has had deadly consequences ever since. On february 27th 2002 a train was set alight just outside go dry station in the Western State of gujarat. 58 hindu pilgrims were burnt to death theyd been returning home from the barbary mosque in new york here. There was an outcry and mobs of hindu hardliners took to the streets. Guernica start up again as hard as get there. Do you ever heard of the idea or hindu or go clear tone john paul oh yes hello again. Instead of handing the dead to their families the bodies were transported nearly 200 kilometers to the town of under about to be paraded through the streets you can tell yourself alan low act on it just because a lot alya are just like us isnt nation kendall btselem i dont get why doubt at all then. Youve got the money how the minorities going apple to meet italy any. Yes but he got his desk and the shots and then i. Parading 58 charred cultures through the streets was always likely to provoke further violence. But permission for the reportedly came from the then chief minister of. The rain through modi himself. In the ensuing riots over a 1000 were killed 3 quarters of them muslims. In 1902 when the mosque was the morning india changed for there would. Be a motive and important. To. The sequence of events. That charted the path and indeed the foundation for the ease of hindu supreme assist politics and it led to the emergence of this leader in the mood. For long hours the good dr state authorities stood by as rioting took place prompting allegations of state complicity. Saying forget i was a young Police Constable his unit was kept in active as people were massacred. In the run up by b. M. S. Police are they going also has a thing. Public the cigar. Well generally or. Mostly i dont know. But. The box of all the idea. That it was we will be sealed with. Your soon margaret will just 10 years old when the attacks took place. The victims. Family. Member will lead them. To want the money. But they didnt know was that theyd want to try. Again good idea if you download. Anything. They nobodys. Gonna get but you know im like. A pledge. I would. Not. Even. Shahin qureshi was at home with her husband and 3 small children. That i was out a. Bit if it is still very seldom said by heart of the modernity but the town itself a good one he said going. About trying to get them in but having the find a way of getting to tell all the what they are. Going to show with. Advice would be needed to make that a good movie though ali. For legit complicity in allowing the mob violence and killings to go unchecked through most of the was barred from visiting the us a ban that lasted for 10 years. Indias top court has ruled that a disputed religious site be given to hindus for the construction of a temple and you hardliners destroyed a 16th century mosque in 1992 sparkle riots that killed at least 2000 people. I find myself wondering how far do these events i loved about on this journey represent in the time of historical record are we witnessing a recommitting of the secular character of most men do that set of rules on which the newly founded country was established. Can. Invent in there without taking into account tragedy of more than the whole much weve tried to sanitize i dont think the people in the muslims of today should be blamed for what i have. If i already saved them a list of particulars trying. To say that it didnt happen gets peoples backs its that evil secularization its the reaction to this thinking that. All by pretending that it was all a happy family all along it wasnt because of a troubled history. Of the muslim world to accept that yes we are muslims and we shall remain muslim but our ancestors the same as yours i would say 99 percent of the problems with the muslims of you because of the way they are portrayed is the descendants of the murders and looters and butchers and rapists the making common cause with people who broke the wrong temple the Krishna Temple the kashi we shall not temple 40000 other temples but its true that they are converted. I think where he was born 6 here for 2 months a backlash you might call it and the need for a strong leader combined with the need to assert what they thought was the hindu identity and by implication the best latent. People are coming back to the people are thinking to come back to their roots they are filling that. Right the connect with their roots and their roots does not lie in. Identity is connected with. Whether i have converted to islam my true identity was before the islam we are not proud of identify oneself with baba they were they made us. The hindu for our view of the past might sound great if you happen to be a hindu but where does this leave the non hindus naseer room became acutely aware of the challenges facing her muslim daughter growing up in increasingly pro hindu surroundings shes written a book about saad says i kept waiting for my teacher to react in school the class me. I was silent i didnt respond and i just kept sitting there i didnt really know what to do. What is it like now to grow up as a muslim child in india take you through one story in your book the boys called house and they they come and call him to go to this Birthday Party and then a few minutes later he comes back home the boy refused to let him maintain his house and said that he cannot share the cake with you you cannot eat together. My parents dont want you at my house and the mother said i did. Was your experience growing up in india what when you say look at yourself in context of these stories what was it like for you i grew up in a different india i think it was also because of the larger narrative i doubt if we can even see the same country and. You know all we had that one National Television channel to the ocean which would have this little girl who would sing. How there are so many different kinds of birds but and we had all those different kinds of birds but were all birds of a flock together. Good the beauty of being told that you are one already you know people of different identities can write a little thing that one song together in different languages also but theyre singing that one song together that is really our one bottom. One of the things you can do to protect her from this environment i talk to her about india the map they show our neighbors our you know your china you put down here you have you have bungled the issue you have pakistan and sri lanka so i think that albany bers and then i say what if somebody called you chinese you laugh and say right im an indian the military is what is so many because you are bangladeshi you laugh and say they did not about that they wanted somebody called to pakistani you laugh and say another pakistani so i kind of made it down to him and you could ruin any of the so because of course the assumption being that the dots a way that prejudice would play out they had to grow pakistani or go to pakistan because that is what is happening on an everyday basis we need leaders to make sure that no child grows up with hatred no child grows up with fear this is not about muslim kids this is about every child out there because im sure as a parent youll be varied if a child to be grows up. Challenge lies in so much of teaching. I joined al jazeera as part of the bones team in 2006 protesters have called for a 1000000 man march in the time ive covered wars revolutions elections im going to treat poorest from the favelas of caracas to the battlefields around also our job is to get to the truth and the power of people through knowledge.

The hindu fear has been a problem. It is the only needed in the world which actually legitimized inequality in cars to. Be among the lower castes dull its also known as untouchables sit at the very bottom of the hindu hierarchy. They perform the lowliest tasks such as manually cleaning sewers often with no protective clothing or breathing apparatus. With a reporter the 11 deaths per month this ranks among the worlds most dangerous work people saying right or is a valid im a lawyer hes taking us to meet some members of the community some of whom he represents.

Yes i do when you. Consider what i and i did. My job was said. Despite protections under the constitution delegates. Untouchables are treated as outcasts how to make their neighbor who wore a tie. Like it or not what he would. Many delegates and other low cost him whose have escaped their predicament by converting to other faiths such as islam or christianity the b. G. P. Control state about to predation has prepared an anti conversion law under which religious conversion would require permission from a state official human Rights Groups say the law is aimed at keeping delegates in their place. Weve discovered a twist to this theme. One away to a village where an r. S. S. Work has converted a bunch of Indian Muslims back to him who is by a process called her vibes which literally means home coming. True love a mans father was a hindu who converted to islam. A generation on he and several family members have converted back to hindu ism london is the. Reason im near ghar kii not love the film only the mcnalley my line of the thing will not be how will you because im going to think. The small print in indias anti conversion laws forbids enticements or intimidation to convert its a certificate that law of mohammad is now name she law and none hes now being brought into the hindu falls and it says without any pressure. Without any influence. But i. Got there. He got on a bus. To. Get out and got to. Move when the going to. Get out. Did. Not the. Urge to give up. Was. About it but. If it. Got unable to get.

One of the other groups you could i do yes. About a year to india came a settlement with some pelly. Made out that a market. Operates under dont legally or what will. You do the home key but. Only chain yank some magic shoes on the stump in the ditch. Well that was such a heated discussion and one of the things that made it so tense was that the r. S. S. Man was really worried about coercion and especially in relation to the evangelical faiths and yet when we spoke to the guy who he had converted to hinduism one could not help but feel that thered been a considerable amount of social pressure on him and that that had been a kind of caution. Whatever the truth behind. Or homecoming to the hindu for its from within the lower castes that most conversions out of hinduism in recent years have taken place. But along with islam its another ancient religious group that faces the consequences of Rising Hindutva politics there are 28000000. 00 christians in india the 2000 Year Old Community stretching back to the earliest days of the faith but still seen by the most hardline hindus as an outsider religion the 2 can do so way from their original faith. In 2008 in the state to eastern India Several 1000 christians came under attack. 400 religious or die or posed on christians 60000 christians. Fled to the forest to save themselves. 6000. 00 plus houses more than 300. 00 critical to restore the crown schools colleges all spittles clinics everything put on 100 People Killed nuns a rape. Case is still going on 10 years later. And we expect fred justice depending on facts. You know depending on who is the majority. The radicalization of the structures of state the police that mistreat the junior magistracies the teachers the village Self Government mechanisms. All of them actually believe this is the land of the hindus and everybody else if they want to live via must live here as 2nd rate citizens nobody can feel safe. Unless there is in the shoulders of the muslim isee. The isolation of minorities risks becoming institutionalized in schools would socalled suffer nies ation the favoring of hindu ism over other traditions and school textbooks. Where the states in 10th grade students have been studying a new hindu focused curriculum. It writes out much of their countrys known hindu past. And armys elite allentown mistresses saying they are only just now going to finance the pain is in my name it says ill tell you that i wouldnt like to lie at p. V. Hydroplane i never heard what a tele. A said a word when i miss a person out of me fairly get india will get up memories for me was a common early. Delegate. Delegates of material b. B. C. On earlier became part of this the palace has gotten a lot of missoni course here. At open it up to so died up being. Allowed to go out. But i think that im going to and i may yeah but every day on monday you go. Looking look at the galaxy summit now. Back to lanny again did it want to make you go back to life to have a better look at look at the up be. The one steve the man happened to happen to him. What todays 10th graders may not get to learn about is the wealth of learning and cultural blending that accompanied muslim rule in india modeled in the study or may have been harsh and puritanical but other moguls brought a culture of openness and learning the targum hell is the supreme expression of this it was built by the mogul ruler sharjah ha as a muslim for his beloved wife 1000 how he preached equality among hindus and muslims and he celebrated hindu festivals a tradition established by his grandfather a quote under him india enjoyed a religiously and culturally diverse existence schools for both muslims and hindus were established policies that own the loyalty and respect of hindus a blending of culture and religion in my socalled syncretism and an essential part of indian life today i mean for people sikri built by uk for which he made his capital success came through acknowledging the multiple cultures within india. Heres inquest is innocent shrine the architecture the column the divan a house in the whole welker would hold court assimilates motifs from hindu islam christianity buddhism islam and zorro astronauts. So the pillar itself kind of stands as a testament to this mixing of faiths and this is from a man who brought brahmins near him and pundits near him to learn from them he drank the water of the gunk he had a deep root god for hindu faith and custom and belief and and i think is aim was to find in this land of many religions where he was ruling as a Muslim Emperor to find a way in which people could go forward it wouldnt be secularism as we know its not in the modern european sense but it was clearly driven by a secular ideal. Im about to see something quite extraordinary but which at the same time is peculiarly india. Where the hindu temple that was partially destroyed and turned into a mosque by oren say look at that time like literally the column whats interesting here is that part of this mosque complex remains a place of worship for hindus and yeah the ultimate lack of an exit i am sure. Thats being kind of prepared in our prayers in the evening and i sit in this space and. You cast your eye or are you see very very typical muslim arches and then you see what is really like the pillars of a hindu temple but in the middle of that is the qibla which is the direction of prayer so both face are represented both forms of worship are occurring side by side and this to me is historical resolution. 3 other. February march was through i recalled 100 people who were good it was a challenge thank you to make saturday or. Not marshall the. Thinking man in that i love no hero need to you know why isnt he is with me hes had some but again i want to know their views on the mosque and hindus most important to the kashi bushman which owns theyve also destroyed to build a mosque. Just gan might be must it could be there to pick up the cat i know i had done it on good number limited on the christian number kashima cautious not. To be sure shasta can join. In monday dont go toward europe not because it was good but. Hum monday by not measured by the necklace tejada. Good choice now but i got the good the disk and watch funny. The chick get in. June must. Protect your good by about the title. Very very interesting you know hes saying whatever happened was not a good thing it was not a good thing that happened and he says for me it was a symbol of slavery because it was built by a barber who was who and saved us lickin our good beach macwhich of our lardner. Our new government can get up under. The rug up we made up the harder it could not really crap not question do i know when we shall manage 5. So i was really struck by the similarity between the scene where you function by the warm and i was left with a strange question because when they got talking about history when they got talking about temples destroy what was to be rebuilt it was to be left there were really reconcilable differences between them and yet there was the civility in the city faction and it left me feeling i thought what is this everything is that ability to get on really what counts or do people have to result differences down to their very being easy if thats even possible. On the eve of indias Independence Day im returning to delhi. Im starting the day at the job. A Muslim College where celebrations are already in full swing. And to think oh yes it was already. A dont do you want it you wish me. To man of the a. T. F. I didnt go out. For a change or leave lindsay if. You. Think. Theres no doubting the commitment of these Muslim Students i was impressed by the scaffold pad display of unity it was on this day 72 years ago that india gained independence from britain along with the events that led to partition. At that time it became clear that indias muslims. Those who chose to remain would be as much part of this nation as the hindus when i arrived in this country i expected to find the place is dramatically different from the one i grew up in said i was pleasantly surprised to find how intact indian life still is how integrated how assimilate. And yet i cannot deny that i felt a sense of foreboding among indias 170000000 muslims a deep feeling of disenfranchisement this is a country in the grip of a historical reckoning the indian past with all its pain and complexity is being realistic it how it negotiates this passage will not merely affect indias muslims but the moral and Spiritual Health of the nation as a whole. It was time for me to return to my home in new york. I left india feeling encouraged and hopeful for the future of the country im so proud to have grown up in and call my own. But in new york a nasty shock awaited me a letter from indias ministry of home affairs and what the threatening to do is to revoke my overseas indian citizenship which allows me to live and work in india the grounds that the saying that the grounds that they are using to revoke this is that apparently i have concealed the pakistani origin of my father and its a very worrying letter because if it goes through i may not be able to return to india and theyve i meant to have 21. 00 days to respond but i have barely 24 hours to respond to this letter. Ive recently written this article critical in array and remove the he in the b j p then attacked me wrongly calling me a muslim and a pakistani with no right to interfere with indian affairs. With attacks such as this on critical journalists im as worried for my country as i am for the impact of this on myself and my family in india. My lawyer feels that there is something malicious in what the government has done there accusing me of concealing the fact that my father was pakistani which is kind of absurd because ive read books and articles for over a decade about my fathers pakistani origin and about the fact that i was always a strange from him and grew up with my mother in india i cant help but feel that the reason is this Time Magazine article more than 250 prominent writers have petitioned the Indian Government on my behalf i was grateful and more than touched by their support the Booker Prize Winning indian novelist kiran this i was one of them. I thought it would dishonor my parents not to speak up talking about the india i grew up in i am afraid because i know all the minorities in india are very afraid. And when you have a country. That does not honor its minorities then its time to be very afraid the press is under threat in india we have had many cases of books being banned in india and of writers being silenced but i think the situation is growing more acute were talking of murder of silencing writers by murdering them by banning them books silencing the press and with you of course they came up with a technicality every new victim becomes a symbol of this oppression there were plenty of people who would have loved to sign and were really far too scared to sign it is so much fear even among indians here that they will be severe repercussions on their speaking up and that they will be targeted. One by one. With a heavy heart i have to surrender my overseas indian citizenship today. Well ive come out one document less and this is a kind of weird goodbye to feels very hard for me because this is a country ive grown up in ive lived in all my life and suddenly i dont really have the right to go there anymore and i basically feel bereft of my mother my grandmother my country and and the place where i grew up the beach appears just past its socalled citizenship Amendment Bill for the 1st time in Indian History it establishes a test of religion for becoming indian earlier on in this film i had asked myself are we witnessing a weakening of india secular character. The answer to my question seems frightening the to be yes im reminded of something the veteran politician our of Muhammad Khan said about part of the in the name for india. Indian conditions he is this whole continent between the sea and the him alya this is part of it and all of those who leave the children under the tasteless automator to keep but still believe does not matter the gender doesnt matter the place of residence does not but nothing met i who are children of a child of violet i am i a child as you are on a child of other and if someone was to say to me im not what do i say to him if someone is going to say someone was to is a someone is going to tell me that im not for a son of my father to go to hell.
