Bengaluru: A 23-year-old man was beaten and stabbed in Mangaluru in coastal Karnataka on Thursday for travelling on a bus with a young woman from another religion in an incident that comes in the wake of divisive right-wing rhetoric and laws across the country.

Mangaluru Police Commissioner, Shashi Kumar said, "On Mangaluru city outskirts yesterday, around 9:30 pm, a bus was obstructed and a boy and girl who are classmates and friends, belonging to different religions, were made to get down from the vehicle. The boy was beaten up - and when the girl tried to come in the way, she was also hurt."

"Seven or eight people are in custody - and four from the Bajrang Dal who were involved will soon be arrested," he told NDTV.

"The four men came in a car and stopped the bus. The boy was beaten and also received a stab injury near his hip. He is in hospital and his condition is stable," Mr Kumar said.

The police said the young woman was travelling to Bengaluru and that her classmate was with her in a private bus to help her as he was more familiar with the city.

"They were classmates and the girl told us she had known the boy for many years," Mr Kumar said.

A case of attempt to murder has been registered against those responsible. Special teams have been formed headed by an Assistant Commissioner of Police. The police are also investigating who shared information about the two young people.

Dakshina Kannada district in coastal Karnataka has seen incidents of communal tension in the past as well.

An increasing number of cases of religious intolerance have been reported since a renewed push by members of the BJP, which governs at the centre and in Karnataka, for laws against "Love Jihad" - the right-wing conspiracy theory of Muslim men seducing Hindu women to have them convert.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah joined the campaign in Assam last month, promising laws against "Love and Land Jihad". Such laws have already been adopted in states like BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh that discourage inter-religion marriages by listing conditions like a judge signing off on the relationship in advance.

Jamahir's comment : If this is the situation in one of India's supposedly developed states with the right-winger Yogi Adityanath not being its Chief Minister, think of the situation in India if Yogi becomes the Prime Minister of the country in 2024.

You are pulling one isolated fake incident that happened years ago that was not even real...

Nothing fake about this :

As part of her morning show, the Samaa TV anchor -- Maya Khan -- would ambush young couples demanding to know if they were indulging in immoral behaviour.

And :

In one particular case the so called vigil-auntie demanded to see a couple's wedding certificate after they told her they were married.

"Vigil-auntie"... I like that.

And some years before that there was the enhanced version of the Maya Khan raids : The Lal Masjid crimes which among other things included the mullans there kidnapping foreign women.

These type of threads leave me precious thoughts. Is stabbing only confined to person dating of another religion? I take it in India nobody else is stabbed? Or are othe stabs halal?

That was for prostitution and they very quickly dealt with.

No one even remembers maya khan but that is somehow equivalent to a hindu attacking a muslim with a knife....

Fate of sarkari muslims. I feel sorry for you. But also realize how most of the bhaiyya muslim folks are weak, spineless and traitors to country and Islam. In both Pakistan and India.

 

[jamahir]

Hilarious ! Especially the AR Rahman part. Just that Indian stand ups can do without swear words.

Fate of sarkari muslims. I feel sorry for you.

Here comes another one.

1. Saying "spineless" is very brave of you not sitting in a minority-Muslim country.

2. Saying "traitor to Islam" is ridiculous when I am among the few people on this forum who has understood the philosophy of Islam. But carry on.

 

[Areesh]

Yes, you had your moral brigade TV anchor Maya Khan who used to go about harassing couples and demanding to see their nikahnamas.

Though Pakistan still has mullahs and mullans it at least has progressive Muslims to counter them.



Well, even though these right-wing groups have certainly become prominent since 2014 it is good that not all Hindus support these groups.



I shudder to think of the day he becomes that.



Well, India at least needs supervision by the UNO.

Look at this "liberal" "leftist" equivalating two totally different incidents to tone down the extent of madness in India

As I said before. These "leftist muslims" are bigger threat to muslims of India than RSS or Bajrang dal fanatics

 

[jamahir]

That was for prostitution

Do you want Lal Masjid to be removed or not ?

Chal oye. You people said no to a homeland for muslims and are reaping the crop you planted. Most of you have no guille to organize and arm yourselves against hindus. Only interested in business, money and surviving day to day. Cowards. Like some of my ex banya compatriots down south by sea.

If this is not only betraying Islam and your own rights. Tell me what is this?

You have understood Islam?? One who is always talking of communism and atheism weird idealistic bull sh!t??

I admit this post of mine is slightly filled with vitriol. Because in this case you folks had it coming. That too for a long long time.

Any outsider who is not aware of South Asian affairs would think this title is from The Onion.

Well she did not have any right to ask nikahnamas from random strangers (I don't know the actual case though, but assuming what you said is true) but I hope you are mature enough to differentiate between stabbing and harmless asking.

Some of the Hindutvadis on this forum accuse me of being an "Islamist" and some right-wing Muslims on this forum accuse me of being "Sarkari Muslim".

Is that the reason you said being a centrist is the worst thing a few days ago?

Jamahir,
We had problems, and still have our problems. Our progressive elements are not down, and are fighting back. Pakistan is under selective international scrutiny. So a rape, murder , or religiously motivated killing, or religious harassment is widely reported, and Pakistan's image is tarnished and we Pakistanis are dubbed the "bad guys ". India can lynch people and couples and get away scot free and Saudi Arabia can behead couples for "fornication".

Though Pakistan still has mullahs and mullans it at least has progressive Muslims to counter them.

Who cares ? No religious fundamentalist party has ever been elected to power in Pakistan. The world doesn't see it that way.

Well, even though these right-wing groups have certainly become prominent since 2014 it is good that not all Hindus support these groups.

The Progressive and left front alliance in India has been swept into the dustbin of history.
The vast majority of Hindus in India support right wing groups .
We are excluding,Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Nepalese, Fijian, Trinidadian, and Mauritian Hindus.
In the the last elections the vast majority of Indian Hindus sent 353 Hindutva law makers to Parliament and the religious fundamentalists control 18 of India's 31 provinces.

I shudder to think of the day he becomes that.

We hope Yogi Adityanath becomes the Prime Minister. It needs extreme fascism to push the rest of the civilized world to cobble an alliance. India has to drop its facade and expose itself to the world as a fascist regime.

Well, India at least needs supervision by the UNO.

At this time the UNO is the weakest organization in the world. It does absolutely nothing.

Well, I am a Leftist.

I think what I wanted to say was that the good people in India if they stay Centrist they will indirectly give more power to the Rightists. So the good people should side with the traditional Indian Left.

Who cares ? No religious fundamentalist party has ever been elected to power in Pakistan. The world doesn't see it that way.

Well, AFAIK, under Zia the Jamaat-e-Islami indirectly got power to do anything it wanted. And under Nawaz the Tablighi Jamaat got more influential. Though it is the Indian TJ that is more influential in the world.

At this time the UNO is the weakest organization in the world. It does absolutely nothing.

That is true too.

Yes, I have seen your reply. But ATM I am not getting the ideas to reply to you there. Allow me until tomorrow or the day after.

we don't need unlike you people now make china your controller

You'll be so lucky that we'll leave you to the British.

India is a primitive and savage country. Glad Pakistan was made so that we didn’t have to be dumped into that toxic cesspool.
