S A Aiyar: Unless checked quickly, Hindu terror will be met with Muslim terror, and India will go up in flames

Prime Minister Modi and his partymen wax eloquent about the need to tackle and end terrorism. But what exactly is terrorism? The dictionary definition is “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims”.

Going by this definition, the lynch mobs that beat up and kill people suspected of carrying beef are terrorists. So too are Muslim lynch mobs killing policemen in Kashmir. All these lynch mobs are unlawful, use violence against civilians, and have religio-political goals. They fit the definition of “terrorist” like a glove.

Many in the BJP will not agree: they would like to say that Hindu sentiments have been hurt and anti-beef violence is an understandable though not entirely warranted reaction. The Hurriyat in Kashmir will also shed crocodile tears for the killed policemen but say the mob violence must be seen in the context of Indian military repression. Such excuses are as hollow and cruel as those given by al-Qaida or ISIS for their misdeeds.

The murder of 15-year-old Junaid Khan, for the crime of simply being a Muslim, has been condemned — after a typical long pause that will not discourage mobs — by Modi. Many of his ministers have also issued condemnations. Yet the lynch mobs have not appeared out of a vacuum: they have grown in a socio-political climate created by three years of BJP rule.

A deadly mix of communalism and ultra-nationalism has stirred communal passions despite an absence of major riots. One more Muslim was killed by gau rakshaks in Jharkhand after Modi’s call for peace, showing how difficult it is to put the genie back into the bottle.

My fear is that, unless checked quickly, Hindu terror will be met with Muslim terror, and the country will go up in flames. If the state cannot protect Muslims, there is a high risk that they will devise their own armed squads for protection. Hindu-Muslim terror can escalate with the state a helpless spectator...

If Hindu-Muslim terror escalates today, it will not easily be doused. I fear that those who sow Hindu violence will reap Muslim violence and vice versa, in a vicious spiral.

Boot licker Iyer exhibits his blind sighted view. There was Muslim Terror in India and now in many parts of the World even when there was no religious terror of the other kind to trigger it. So muslim terror doesn't need any instigation, it just needs the book of peace and its proponent mullahs. If any, Hindu Terror is flaring up due to unrestrained Islamic Terror in our part of the world.

His second and present wife, Shahnaz Anklesaria, is a Parsi.
Aiyar has three children: Pallavi Aiyar, Shekhar Aiyar, and Rustam Aiyar from his previous marriage with Gitanjali Aiyar (Ambegaokar) (Doordarshan news reader of 80s). He is an atheist.^[5]

So did he used to be S. Ambegaokar  Iyer?

Very True. I stand corrected and apologize to all Iyers. Also I didn't notice that it was S A Aiyar and thought it was MS Aiyar(Dynasty Boot Licker).

Iyer << Aiyar << Iyengar << Aiyangar << Ayyangar?


Iyer (also spelt as Ayyar, Aiyar, Ayer or Aiyer)

I think Aiyar is an affectation.

They're brothers, the target of your invective, the younger.

Iyer could incorrectly be pronounced as Ee-yar.
