☝️ BBC India:
>> Chetan Kumar was arrested over a recent tweet where he said the Hindutva ideology promoted by Hindu nationalists "was built on lies".
...
Police in Karnataka have charged him with "malicious intent to outrage religious sentiment" and "creating or promoting enmity".
...
A US citizen and a Fulbright scholar, Mr Kumar is a fiery anti-caste activist who has taken part in several protests in Karnataka.
...
In 2021, Mr Kumar wrote in the Deccan Herald newspaper that though he often faced racism while growing up in Chicago as a person of colour, he realised later that he was also the "beneficiary of the caste system back in India". The caste system dates back over 3,000 years and divides Hindu society into rigid hierarchical groups. <<#India #hindunationalism #hindutva #ChetanKumar #NarendraModi #castesystem #intolerance #humanrights
