“Information on the interfaith marriage of a Hindu doctor with a Muslim daily wage labourer was published in newspapers based on information from a marriage registration bureau in Karnataka. Within 2 hours of the message being circulated on social media, a Muslim man appealed to the Police to take action on the matter.
Some Muslim advocates met the Karnataka Chief Minister regarding this and demanded that the registration office not share such details. Just a single message managed to unite Muslims within 2 days.
Hindus also must create such a communication network. Hindu intellectuals need to be organised. Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) is doing this in various States. The aim is to create a pressure group and be able to effectively counter ideological attacks on Hindu Dharma”, said Mr Mohan Gowda (of HJS).
