Campaign Against Narendra Modi and Hindutva Politics

Narendra Modi & the rise of “Hindu Fascism”

Southall Black Sisters is part of the group Awaaz, which is campaigning against the rise of Hindu nationalism/fascism led by Narendra Modi, the prime ministerial candidate of the BJP in India. Modi presided over one of the darkest episodes of communal violence in India in 2002, when over 2,000 Muslim men women and children were killed, raped and mutilated and hundreds of thousands displaced. Modi may be voted into power in the forthcoming Indian elections in March this year. Along with many others, we are extremely concerned about the impact of Modi and Hindutva politics for Indian democracy and the rule of law. To aid the campaign, Awaaz has organised a parliamentary meeting on 26 February and produced a briefing report which includes an analysis of Hindu right wing politics in India and the UK, its impact on Muslims, other minorities and women and dispels myths about Modi’s style of governance’.

Challenging the Myths surrounding the BJP’s Prime Ministerial Candidate
“Narendra Modi is the Prime Ministerial candidate for India’s main opposition party in the General Elections to be held before May this year. As Chief Minister of the state of Gujarat in 2002, Modi presided over a massacre of Muslims that conforms to the UN definition of genocide. At the time this had evoked widespread domestic and international condemnation”.
