Who will bell Bajrang Dal?
Bajrang Dal is a religious extremist terrorist outfit that often gets into various activities such as moral policing (particularly on Valentine days), rioting, killing and burning Christians, their houses and churches. In the early days, they and their supporters used to deny their crime charges as Christian conspiracy or “it was not us, but the Hindus in general retaliating“. But ever since their political supporters (BJP) have formed the Government in the Indian states of Karnataka and Orissa, they have come out in public and claimed before the TV cameras that they have done it and they will do it again. And nobody really cares.
The Government (of Karnataka) which is supposed to protect it’s citizens turn a blind eye. The police force which is supposed to take attackers into custody had instead chose to lathi charge protesting Christians. This again raises the question – what security does Christians in India have under the BJP rule when BJP let loose it’s terrorist wings such as Bajrang Dal? Where are those people who had said that “religious minorities will be safe under BJP’s rule“? What examples do they see in Orissa and Karnataka?
The saddest thing of all these is that Christian religious heads of Kerala are more worried about Communists than Sangh Parivar. The Bishops who have brought Christians on road to protest against the textbook, are speaking very less on Hindutva extremism. The objective here is clear. For the Church administration, institution is far more important than the community members and their lives. They do not see that the Saffron Brigade has already extended their terrorist wings to Kasaragod district (in Kerala) and soon, may be within a couple of years, you will see Karnatake/Orissa model attacks on Christians in other parts of Kerala. Like Mavelikkara and Thiruvananthapuram (Kasaragod, Mavelikkara and Thiruvananthapram are the strong holds of Sangh Parivar in Kerala).
So we have SIMI banned in India for years which is a good move. Now when is the Indian Government going to ban VHP and Bajrang Dal? Or how many more man slaughtering by Hindutva brigade do they need to see before doing it?

Well said Jo…. They are more terrifying than the real terrorists… These monsters are doing selective slaughter on Christians for a decade and no government seems to be worried about that….

The establishment of the Church is the biggest unsettling element in our society at most times. They are slow, but powerful and anything that comes in their way is crushed through mercilessly. In short, the Church is the elephant in the room
And I agree with you on your view of Bajrang Dal, they are amoral, doing much harm to the secularism in India. We will be better off without them.
