Majority of Indians in the UK have a negative view of Modi: Survey
London: A survey conducted in the UK among British Indians or Indians living in that country has revealed that more than half of those surveyed have a negative view of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the survey comprised 500 people who identified themselves as British Indians and was conducted by the Platform for Indian Democracy, which describes itself as a “community-led organisation that seeks to celebrate and protect a truly democratic India”. Men and women made up equal shares (50% each) of those surveyed.
Fifty-two percent of all respondents had an unfavourable view of Modi while thirty-five percent had a favourable view.
The survey summary also said that a majority of respondents “rated religious violence promoted by Modi, spilling over to the UK, as a top concern”. It added that this concern “was highlighted by recent violence between Hindu and Muslim groups in Leicester”, referring to an incident that took place in the UK city in 2022.
A majority of respondents said they did not identify with Hindutva, the survey said.
Responses across all demographics showed that respondents’ top concern related to India was the way women and girls are treated. KMS-19S
[6:06 pm, 30/04/2024] Syed Kifayet Hussain KMS: ‘Selective outrage over killing of women is weaponized by BJP to spread anti-Muslim hatred in India’
New Delhi, April 30 (KMS): The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led Indian government headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Hindutva ecosystem are systematically brainwashing and misleading the majority community to secure political benefits, several recent videos of popular Indian YouTuber Dhruv Rathee have said.
According to Kashmir Media Service, the videos of Rathee, who has 18.8 million subscribers, get millions of views on his YouTube channel. Apart from YouTube, these videos have been watched millions of times on other social media platforms.
The latest Rathee video of around 30 minutes shows how selective outrage over the killing of women by their partners is weaponised by BJP supporters to spread hatred toward Muslims.
In the video titled “Reality of Mera Abdul|The Hindu Muslim Brainwash Agenda,” the YouTuber pointed out that if a Muslim man is accused of killing a Hindu woman, the incident is highlighted to suggest that all Muslims are brutal and indulge in immoral things. However, when a Hindu man is accused of killing a Muslim woman or Hindu woman, these incidents are not highlighted to portray all Hindu men similarly.
Rathee offered several examples of selective outrage by the BJP supporters.
Rathee also said that it is far-fetched that the BJP supporters will demand justice for women from other communities. They don’t demand justice for even Hindu women when the culprit has connections with the BJP leaders.
Rathee also noted that Muslim organisations issued statements to condemn the incident when there was an outrage against the killing of a woman by a Muslim. However, this information was not shared by BJP supporters on social media.
“Their intentions are only to brainwash you. They want to instill fear in your hearts so that you are scared of Muslims and you vote for Modi out of fear,” asserted Rathee.
Earlier, Rathee made a video to show how millions of Indians are brainwashed through WhatsApp messages forwarded by the BJP’s IT cell. Rathee argued that a WhatsApp mafia is being run from behind the scene to proselytise the general people.
