maloritarlanism has been normali~ed bv pr:lme time television and its paneldiscussions. .
There Is a curious consensus in both the print. and the broadcast meid,ia that the BJP has replaced its traditionally commu~al agenda with a new emphasis on development and governance. Curi~\ls because a) there is no contradiction between a focus on economic growth and a commitment to~lndu chauvrniS:m and b) in actual fact, Am it Shah and Praveeh Togadia and Narendra M?di were happy tc;> dogwhistle their HlnduPfa agendas right through their election campaigns. .
Thus Amlt Shah, performing for a gathering of Jats in western Uttar Pradesh, attacked Mayavati fa~ gi·ving a 'patticular communitY (read Muslims) 19 tickets for the L,ok Sabha elections in UP. Helpfully Shah suggested that MayavatJ had allotted these seats to a community that viplated the honour ·9f his audience's sisters and daughters. A few days later, after apologizing to the Ejection Commission for his p.olitical rhetoric, he was at it again: this time describingAzamgarh asa base for terrorists. ~ · · .
Not to be left behind by his conslgliore, the BJP's prlm~mtni.ster-ln-waitingdenounced the Congress for prompting meat expo·rt and cow slaughter. The COngress~ he alleged, g9ve subsidies to those-who-slaughtered-cows. On another occasion, Modi expressed a marked preference for hosting Durga'-loving Bengalis as opposed to Bengalis of any other·sort, leaving us wondering who those others might be. Bengali Vaishnavs,· perhaps, diSinterested in the cutt of a mother goddess? CaJ£utta's Marwarls?lts ArmenfanJews? Who? .
To everyone~s utter surprise, It turned out that Modi had been ·referring to Bengali-speaking Muslims, aka Infiltrators or .
Bangladeshis. Ever the man ofaction, Modi found new allies·ln his virtuous crusade against Bengali Muslims in Assam·. After .
armed Bodos had killed a considerable number of Bengalis, Modi promised to deport the rest .
e ' -.
. .
Earlier in the election campaJ,gn, Modi made the Important point that the Congress was killing rhinos to free up living space for Bangladeshis. This is not a secularist canard or some magical realist flourish, this Is what he actually said: MAren't rhinos the pride of Assam? These days·there is a conspiracy to kill them. Iam making the aiJegation very serioasly. People sitting In the government. they are carrying out this conspiracy ~o ltdII rhinos so that the area is made dear to· settre Bangladeshis. .
The fantasy of demographic extinction via mass Immigration Is a hardy staple of majoritarian right-wing politics .
everywhere, but casting rhinos as stand-ins for aboriginal Hindus is a novel touch. .
The ·sJP leadership's concerted attempt to stigmatize Muslims as fifth columnists, infiltrators and predators has, predictably, .
turned Muslims against the prospect of a BJ P government. ·Polls and other guesstimates often show Muslims voting en bloc .
against the BJP whereas the party captures a much larger share of the non-Muslim vote. .
This wholly expUcable difference in Muslim and non-Muslim voting patterns has, by a strange sleight of hand, beenread by pundits as a symptom of a condition that Marxists used to describe as (false consciousness'. Thus, while India's other human. species are seen to be voting for well-being and voting thelr asplrati~ns, Muslims are simply voting theirfears. And given that the BJP's election campaign was branded early on as a non-sectarian pitch for growth and governance, these fears, itfollowed, were unfounded. .
.
Sada nand Dhume, who concedes that Muslims have reason to be wary of Modi, still sees Muslim opposition to the BJP as a kind of political outlier: uViewed through the narrow prism of the Muslim communitys concerns, Mr. Modi remafns a troubling choice to lead India. But apply an economic lens to the country as a whole-not just the Muslim minority that makes up 14% ofthe country's L2 billion people-and the ct10ices look different." .
The problem with this judgment Is that a minority community's view of Modi is a 'narrow lens' only if you think that its .
predicament and Its fears are Irrelevant to Indians who aren't classed as a religious minority. Except that they are, as .
even a cursory acquaintance with South Asian history will show. .
Thus, Sri Lanka's majoritarian turn, where the SinhaIa Buddhist majority made a bid to become the sole proprietor of the Sri .
Lankan nation state, led to endless violence and a bloody civil war which brought that country's economy to astandstiU for .
. . .
twenty years. · .
The eager media consensus that sees Narendra Modi and Subramanian Swamy as agents of economic rationality and Indian Muslims as paranoid dead-enders is a grotesque Inversion of India's political reality. Given the B'JP's unremtting hostility towards them, Muslims are the rational actors here; not voting for a party that loathes you is a reasonable thing to do. Asking Muslims to admit that they are basically Hindus, on the other hand, isn't. .
If a Modi sarkar were to act on Swamy's supremacist fantasies or fashion Shah's slanders into institutionalized suspicion or convert Modi's dog-whistling Into policy, India might well turn into. a tinderbox. And if Indian newspapers and television channels ~ontinueto normal~zeextremist rhetoric Into 'common sense', they will be remembered for having had a hand In sowing the wind.

Getting a few sets in despite its being 46°C in the shade. Warm, one might say.
This ingenious machine is one of several which use one's own body weight - in this case the fly press lifts the seat. Very clever - and they're just littered along a recreational walk.

Inspired by the work of Gary Land, I decided to create a photo series illustrating the struggles of a young couple. View the entire series here www.arthurimages.com/#!/index/C0000JajwruVfi14 Enjoy!
Daniel said he will cherish and protect her young sister "Kitty" as well.
However, if you ask him to share his treasurable toys to Kitty, he would hesitate to commit it.
I am only joking with him, and obviously he is sill on the way of learning how to take responsibliy of self words.
In fact, even I am already an adult, sometimes would unconsciously ignore and carelessly break personal promises.
As for being children`s model, set a good example with own conduct is quite significant,I think.
