More crocodile tears from Guardian’s Hannah Ellis Petersen

In the  above article, Hannah can barely hide her Hindu antipathy as she indulges in another anguished tirade at PM Modi and what she calls Hindu nationalists. Hannah has to understand that India is a Hindu majority country, and it is not a crime for them to be Hindu and nationalist. Just as her country, the UK is a Christian majority country, and there are Christian nationalists as is the case in the US, Germany, and other European countries. Never heard about Christian nationalists in the Guardian. Hannah claims that almost a dozen films have come out recently supporting Modi’s nationalist ideology. She mentions the Biopic of Freedom Fighter Vinayak Damodar Savarkar. For decades, the ruling Congress party and the left wing naxalites had dominated the academia with their anti-India, anti-Hindu narrative, and now that nationalists are countering the leftist mafia, Hannah is crying foul. She mentions a film on Jawaharlal Nehru University as another example of a Hindu nationalist propaganda. Yet she herself describes JNU as a hub for left wing thought and ‘activism’. This activism called for the break up of the country and supported the violent naxalites operating in the northeast of the country. Another example Hannah gives is the film Kashmir Files which she said, ‘claimed’ to tell the real story of expulsion of Hindus from the region. Hannah obviously thinks Hindus willingly walked out of the valley. To deny one of the most brutal targeting of Hindus in Kashmir confirms without a doubt that Hannah is anti-Hindu. At the same time, she mourns the stripping of article 370, stripping the majority Muslim region of its statehood.  She quotes a Sayanded Chowdhury, professor of literature at Chennai Krea University. He says that the film industry has been weaponized.  For decades, the Bollywood industry dominated by so-called secularists churned out anti-Hindu movies, and in fact, it is still going on. The recent film Annapoorani was a blatantly anti-Hindu film but in Hannah’s world Hindus are the baddies and always at fault. Unfortunately for her, Hindus are in no mood to take any lectures from Guardian journalists, and the Guardian should be under no illusion that its Hindu hatred will not move any mountains, nor will Western governments take any notice of you.
