Talk:N. Jayaram

From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia

By Sachi Anjunkar


N. Jayaram signed as an activist, associated with the People’s Union For Civil Liberties[1]

In 2021, he fraudulently endorsed the "Dismantling Global Hindutva" as an academic and scholar conference and made the allegation

"the current government of India [in 2021] has instituted discriminatory policies including beef bans, restrictions on religious conversion and interfaith weddings, and the introduction of religious discrimination into India’s citizenship laws. The result has been a horrifying rise in religious and caste-based violence, including hate crimes, lynchings, and rapes directed against Muslims, non-conforming Dalits, Sikhs, Christians, adivasis and other dissident Hindus. Women of these communities are especially targeted. Meanwhile, the government has used every tool of harassment and intimidation to muzzle dissent. Dozens of student activists and human rights defenders are currently languishing in jail indefinitely without due process under repressive anti-terrorism laws."[2]
