Mumbai: On Tuesday, January 23, when a mob of over 200-300 men descended on Sector 5 of Shanti Nagar in Mira Road, Mumbai, they already knew their target quite well. Shops sporting saffron flags with ‘Jai Shri Ram’ printed on them had to be spared, the rest were all to be attacked. Saba Boutique was one such establishment owned by Muslims among the otherwise Hindu-dominated shopping neighbourhood.
Its so sad what happened to India in the last decade. It was an uprising democracy, with a huge tradition and rich tradition.
But the last years you only hear about rape culture, nationalism and being subservient to Putin to get more arms. Maybe Modi is keeping the economic growth high, but the international reputation of India is taking a huge hit.
