Slogans: Ram Naam Satya Hai. Death to Arabs. Jai Shri Ram. May your village burn. Kill the Indian in him. Ultimate absorption. Terrorists. And the list continues: Dimagi NaxalDimagi NaxalA pejorative term, literally ‘brain Naxal,’ used in India to label intellectuals, activists, and dissenters as ‘urban Naxals’ or ‘intellectual Naxals,’ implying they are ideologically aligned with Maoist insurgents., Academic Terrorist, Intellectual Naxal, Urban Naxal, Tukde Tukde Gang, and Khan Market Gang. In Palestine, it is Flotilla Terrorist, Jihadist initiative.
Like caste slurs, misogynistic slurs, racist and ableist slurs, these slogans expose the alienating politics of dominant fascist forces. As the white man’s lie became the world, HindutvaHindutvaA political ideology advocating for Hindu nationalism, seeking to define Indian culture in terms of Hindu values and often associated with right-wing political movements in India. and Zionist propagations are creating new state, geographical, demographical, and occupational franchises. Boundaries, evacuations, slander, nationhood – all embody caste, race, and gendered notions of how the world should function according to fascist ideologies.
Fascist Hijacking
In April 2025, when the Waqf Amendment Bill was passed in the new Parliament building, the chant came not from the galleries, but from the treasury benches. was passed in the new Parliament building, the chant was not from the galleries. It was from the treasury benches. Months later, it echoed in Manipur as another church was burnt and the internet was shut down for months. In February 2026, it played on loop in Haryana when a Muslim scrap dealer was lynched on a highway. The video went viral. The police called it “road rage.” When Dalits, Adivasis, women, and religious minorities are attacked, the fascist chorus shouts only one thing: Jai Shri Ram. Like the Zionist dream of Greater Israel and Arab expulsion, the Akhand Bharat dream constantly needs a Muslim, Christian, and Adivasi as Raavan. dream needs a constant Muslim, Christian, and Adivasi as Raavan. Likewise, the annihilation of African resources by several European economies and their aligned counterparts.
The Global Fascist Swelling
On Independence Day 2026, Modi called young protestors and Gen-Z uprisings ‘Dimagi Naxals.’ Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Ben-Gvir said Israeli forces should “kill 30 to 40 people in Gaza every night,” adding “there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live, they are not even people.” This is the Zionising of the globe. The RSSRSSRashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (National Volunteer Organization), a right-wing Hindu nationalist paramilitary volunteer organization in India, widely considered the parent organization of the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). presence in the globe today resonates the same idea; fascism is pregnant with capitalist agendas. Zionism and Hindutva-like ideas are propagated through business deals and the erosion of people’s liberty in labor, land, and resources. and Hindutva kind of ideas are propagated through business deals and evacuation of people’s liberty in labour, land, and resources. It is said that Israeli surveillance was deployed in India and Israeli intrusions in electoral manipulation happened in at least 30 countries across the globe. Fascism is extremely blatant. Furthermore, Ben-Gvir asserted the public viewing of the killing of unjustly arrested Palestinians; he has further plans to engage Nile River crocodiles as part of the security system around prisons. Ambani’s son, Anant’s love for foreign animals, and Ben-Gvir’s version of security systems are the same, driven by the same mechanism. Freud argued that the human mind constantly balances deep, aggressive drives with unconscious mechanisms designed to control and suppress those exact impulses. Lacan would call it “the death of a thing: language as murder and safeguard.” ICEICEU.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a federal law enforcement agency under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security responsible for enforcing immigration laws. in the US: militarized raids, racial profiling, human rights violations, and the manufacture of fear and identity crisis; the killings in BastarBastarA district in the state of Chhattisgarh, India, known for its significant tribal (Adivasi) population and as a region heavily affected by the Naxalite-Maoist insurgency., the elimination of Adivasi protest, and the destruction of their habitat are deeply equivalent to each other. Governance today is FAR from the people, OFF the people, and BUY the people; it isn’t FOR, OF, and BY the people. Democracy is sold in fascist negotiations.
Fascist Infections
Patriotism in 2026 has a slogan: Jai Shri Ram. Whose Ram? Which Ram? For whose gain? The Ram who suspects Sita’s fidelity and reiterates patriarchy? India has always had a hundred Ramayanas. Kamba’s Ram in Tamil. Ranganatha’s Ram in Telugu. Buddhist Jataka Ram. Adivasi Ram who never leaves the forest. Dalit Ram who eats with Shabari. In 2025-26, BJP has trademarked one Ram: the Corporate-Caste-Racial Ram. Fair, gym-bodied, saffron-clad, holding a bow and a bulldozer. His temple is not only in Ayodhya. It is in every expressway, every Adani port, every Smart City MoU. After 2024, even coalition \dharma\ was dropped; it is ‘One Nation, One Election,’ leading to the SIR and electoral genocide through bulldozing policies. and the electoral genocide through bulldozing policies. In a subtle way, the DK’s Congress, the Greater Bangalore project, and the AI city in Bangalore are all deeply embedded in the same roots.
‘One Language, One Culture’ is the curriculum. As the PM said: “This is the decade of civilizational revival.” One Ram, One Nation, and the rest are supposed to be anti-national. Kashmir is still not a state in 2026; it is a ‘UT with tourism.’ Pehlu Khan, a 55-year-old dairy farmer from Haryana, was lynched in 2017; today, we see the replacing of names in the lynching catalogue. In Kandhamal, the tribal Christians who were affected are behind bars; it is like nobody killed them. But the algorithms seem to reverberate, Jai Shri Ram; it is more than a slogan; it is constitutional anticipation. Hence, Ministers chant it while passing bills at 2 AM; anchors scream it before a ‘love-jihad’ debate; WhatsApp University and 30-second reels show ‘Ram vs Raavan’ with Muslims, Dalits, and Adivasis as Raavan. debate, WhatsApp UniversityWhatsApp UniversityA colloquial and often pejorative term used in India to refer to the spread of misinformation, fake news, and propaganda through WhatsApp and other social media platforms. and 30-second reels show “Ram vs Raavan” with Muslims, Dalits, Adivasis as Raavan. Mobs film their crimes and upload them; for Meta, it is okay, unlike pro-Palestine slogans on Meta, which are deleted as being against the ‘well-being of the community consciousness’ Meta assumes for itself. It is cross-caste, cross-class unity: the Brahmin in Noida, the Patidar in Gujarat, the Dalit contractor in Bangalore, and the OBC businessman in UP. What unites them is not \bhakti\, but a political tragedy.
Hyper-Modern Hindutva: The Agency of Infection
Left-liberals call Hindutva medieval. It is not. It is hyper-modern and post-structural and beyond post-modern too. SavarkarVinayak Damodar SavarkarAn Indian politician, activist, and writer who developed the Hindu nationalist political ideology of Hindutva. He is a controversial figure in Indian history. hated caste and loved science; Modi follows him, not Gandhi, Ambedkar, Birsa, Savitri, or Phule, who are merely portraits for appeasement. Manipur is not a matter of law and order; it is not ethnic cleansing; it is plotted political violence designed to weaken the local populace, paint the Northeast saffron, and invade natural resources. Settler-colonial logic of the West Bank. Bulldozer justice is the official policy; Muslim homes demolished before trial as ‘encroachment removal.’ While slogans chant, Ambani announces AI centers in Kashmir, Adani gets ports, the Ram Temple Economy gets a $3 billion tourism budget. Rupees matter more than Ram, akin to the Christian Zionist altar call for the Zionist Jesus. Even soft-saffron Congress states announce AI cities; Bangalore is an example where \saffronizing\ is normalized. Hindutva ties seamlessly with global capital: same language as Trump, Netanyahu, and Big Tech. Nation First. Security First. Growth First. The enemy is the same: migrant, Muslim, dissenter, and the poor. Ram killed asuras to cleanse Lanka. In 2026, Adivasis, Muslims, Christians, students, and fact-checkers were ‘cleared.’ Clear the forest, clear the slum, clear the hilltop, and build the corridor against Red Corridors. Call it Viksit Bharat, a political plot beyond RSS’s interventions. Probably, this is what Quinn Slobodian calls A World Without Democracy. Slobodian subverts the idea of nations projected by the Olympics; he calls it a smokescreen, stating: ‘There are city-states, havens, enclaves, free ports, high-tech parks, duty-free districts, and innovation-hubs. The world of nations is riddled with zones—and they define the politics of the present in ways we are only starting to understand.’
subversive pluriverse: Conclusion
Empires gave us one Ram, and we are identified; we must return to the hundreds our historical trajectories have taught. As a Christian Tamil Dalit in Bangalore, and as a priest akin to the voices of despair, I see the flame of the Cross: The God crucified, murdered by the cowardice of Caesar. I see the flame of Hussain, as a lover of Karbala, who chose thirst over compromised politics.: who chose thirst over compromised politics. I see the flame of Ambedkar, which turned the \Manusmriti\ to ashes, not to hate Hinduism, but to save it from itself. to ashes, not to hate Hinduism, but to save it from itself. I see the flame of Dakshayani Velayudhan, the only Dalit woman in the Constituent Assembly who dared to voice her opinions among the ideological giants of the time. And in the flames of the \Asura\ stories, where Raavan is a scholar, an Adivasi, not a demon.: Only Dalit woman in Constituent Assembly, who dared to voice out her opinions among the ideological giants of the time and in the flames of the Asura stories: Where Raavan is a scholar, Adivasis, not a demon.
This is not anti-Hindu or anti-national. It is anti-fascism. Like genocide, \ecocides\ and \scholasticides\ are real. Communities are submerged under various ‘rumbles’ manufactured by capitalist-military plots. We cannot eat money nor drink chants. If we don’t reclaim our stories now, there will be nothing left to reclaim. So when they ask “Jai Shri Ram?” ask back: “Which Ram?” Ram of the bulldozer or Ram who lived 14 years with tribals? Ram of MoU or Ram who refused the throne? 2026 is not asking for neutrality. Remember, \Vande Mataram\ is a manufactured escapist propaganda of political-caste elites who run the Zones—Zones as understood by Slobodian. The primary flame still burns before all of us in India: the flame of life engraved in Ambedkar’s PreambleAmbedkar’s PreambleRefers to the Preamble of the Constitution of India, which was largely shaped by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. It enshrines the ideals of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity., a subversive pluriverse.
