The latest complaint\u00a0of the Hindu right is to question the difference in the reactions between the Dadri beef lynching<\/a> episode and the murder of the Bajrang Dal activist Prashant Poojary<\/a>. You’ll see pictures like this shared on Social Media.<\/p>\n

\"Dadri<\/p>\n

The implication here is that the government, media, and the usual assortment of “sickulars”, “liberals”, “commies”, and whatever other bogey monsters inhabit their paranoid dreams of persecution are turning a blind eye to the murder of Hindus, while pandering to Muslims. The base complaint seems to be this:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Muslim was murdered by Hindus<\/li>\n
  2. Hindu was murdered by Muslims<\/li>\n
  3. Muslim victim gets coverage, Hindu victim ignored<\/li>\n
  4. This is double standards<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    They are wrong. And here’s why.<\/p>\n

    The base assumption of this complaint is that the nation must be equally outraged over all murder<\/em> regardless of circumstances, and religion. But this is impossible. We cannot be outraged over everything – there’s too much going on. For example, the country rose up against the murder of Nirbhaya even though stuff like this has been happening for decades in both the rural and the urban parts of the country. So let’s admit first and foremost and some cases get a lot more attention than others, sometimes by chance, sometimes for other reasons.<\/p>\n

    Hindutva types claim however, that Muslim pandering is the reason<\/a>\u00a0for the media relatively ignoring the murder of Prashant Poojary. And this is where I have a problem. Do I think that there has been greater outrage over Dadri? Yes, I do. Do I think the reason is that a Muslim was killed instead of a Hindu? Of course not! The reasons for the relative difference in outrage is simple. One makes the common man insecure, and the other does not.<\/p>\n

    Note:This is\u00a0by no means<\/em> an excuse for someone being murdered. If you know me at all by now, I’m not trying to blame the victim. 100% of the blame belongs to the murderer(s). I don’t care what the “provocation” is. If you raise a hand against someone<\/em>, you are automatically at fault. India is not supposed to be the Middle East, or Pakistan. Anyone who doesn’t believe in minding their own business and keeping their hands to themselves should leave the country IMHO.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Having said that, here is why Dadri generated more outrage than Prashant Poojary.<\/p>\n

    Features of the Dadri Case<\/h2>\n

    The victim in the Dadri incident was a regular guy going about his own business. He was simply eating food. He wasn’t in any political party, wasn’t an activist, didn’t make himself a target, and by all accounts, was keeping to himself.<\/p>\n

    His murder makes the average person insecure because if it could happen in Dadri, it could happen anywhere and to anyone.<\/em> Your regular neighbors whom you greet and see every day, rising up against you for no reason whatsoever. In other words there’s no advice, and no precaution you can take to ensure that this doesn’t happen to you.\u00a0Short of “Don’t be a Muslim” of course!<\/p>\n

    When a\u00a0common\u00a0person hears about a crime, the immediate evaluation in their head is “Can this happen to me?”. If the answer is “Yes, it can”, it becomes worrying, articles and blog posts are written about it, and then of course, politicians exploit it. But the underlying reason is simple – how safe\/unsafe does this crime make me feel?<\/p>\n

    Dadri was a crime that made everyone<\/em> feel unsafe. A crime committed by regular folks who live next to you. Where the victim could have been any one of us. No wonder there was so much outrage!<\/p>\n

    Features of the Prashant Poojary Case<\/h2>\n

    In contrast, Prashant Poojary was neither a regular Joe going about his everyday life, nor were his murderers ordinary people on the street. Poojary was an active member of the Bajrang Dal, and was extremely involved in preventing the slaughter of cows. His murder was carefully planned and executed. They wore masks and ran away. The whole feel was one of a mafia style hit, rather than a crime of passion based on religious sentiments. Revenge for shutting down a slaughterhouse probably.<\/p>\n

    Compared to the Dadri killing, Prashant Poojary’s murder doesn’t make the average Indian think “This could happen to me”. They are taught to keep their heads down and not take “panga” with anyone. So when bad things happen to someone like Poojary, it doesn’t create nearly as much outrage and anger.<\/p>\n

    The Hindu right wing is completely mistaken about the reasons for the differing reactions to Dadri and Poojary. It’s not because of the religion of the victim, but rather the motivations and style of killing. One was the spontaneous lynching of a regular guy – it could have been anyone. The other was a hit job for revenge or economics more than anything else. The two types of crimes elicit different reactions.<\/p>\n

    This is exactly the reason why there wasn’t much outrage over the rationalist Kalburgi’s murder. It doesn’t make regular people feel afraid. As a blogger, I have received my share of abuses and even death threats. If I’m killed tomorrow due to my ideas, I fully expect my death to go unnoticed by India. Oh, it’ll probably be reported and blogged about, but the average person will think that it couldn’t happen to them. My death won’t be a lightning rod the way the Dadri killing was.<\/p>\n

    Once again, this is merely an explanation of why there are differing levels of outrage. Anyone who knows me and who follows my blog will know that I never endorse violence, or encourage it. Poojary had every right to try and shut down illegal slaughter houses, and I hope his murderers are caught and punished with the full force of the law.<\/p>\n

    But when it comes to the amount of relative outrage<\/em> a certain crime invokes, people look to themselves first and evaluate whether or not this affects them. Dadri does affect them. Prashant Poojary doesn’t. It’s as simple as that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

    Not everything generates the same outrage.
