At a Hindu conference held to celebrate the centenary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), far-right monk Madhuram Sharan Shiva, leader of the armed monks’ group Shiva Shakti Akhada, accused Muslims of stealing employment and of troubling Hindus at Hindu carnivals. He spoke of introducing a system of whistling whenever a “non-Hindu” is spotted so that people can come together and assault them. He asserted that his idea of a Hindu Rashtra demands all villages be inhabited only by “pure” Hindus, claiming that communities he described as “terrorist” and “demon-like” should not be alive. He targeted burqa-clad women, terming them “Suparnakha” (a demon from Hindu mythology). He urged Hindus to undergo weapons training during religious festivals. He labelled Hindus who interact with or patronise “adharmis” as traitors and asserted that eliminating “adharm” requires eliminating “adharmis,” declaring war as the only solution. He also targeted Hindus whose children study in missionary schools, terming them “traitors.”
