The Uncertain Future of Hindus
Dr. Gautam Sen
Hindus have suffered a
succession of setbacks in recent years, intensifying a retreat that dates back
to the partition of India, indeed earlier. The electoral fortunes of their
putative defenders seem to make little difference to their political
circumstances. Their ethnic cleansing from Jammu & Kashmir continues
unabated and the plight of Hindus in Bangladesh remains desperate, echoing the
fate of Hindus earlier in Pakistan. Islamic terrorists are routinely attacking
their places of worship within India itself. And elected political leaders have
sought to crush one of their supreme spiritual leaders, the Kanchi Acharya.
India’s religious minorities are also displaying a truculent assertiveness that
underlines Hindu powerlessness and hints at yet darker times ahead.
