Far-right monk Madhuram Sharan Shiva, leader of the armed monks’ group Shiva Shakti Akhada, targeted Hindus whose children study in Christian missionary schools, claiming they are destroying their heritage. He warned that if this continues, Hindus will soon disappear and India will be destroyed, citing Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. He alleged there are nine states in India where Hindus cannot organise Hindu religious events, alleging that they had 90 percent Hindus, who have ceased to exist. He asserted that eliminating “adharm” requires eliminating “adharmis,” claiming various “demons” surround them.
