India

There should be NO place for any one with such nonsense in society, for such bigots spreading hate


In the times of Hindutva and Modi Sarkar, ‘Greater Kashmir’ tells us the hate monger Ashish Kaul has been fired by his employees, the United States-based multinational company Development Dimensions International, for his tweets about the fate he wants Kashmiri women to suffer. Now you know where the hate for Asifa, and love for her rapists come from. No, not from Kashmiri Pandits, because many from the community are also horrified at these psychotic Tweets. Ashish Kaul doesn’t represent the Pandits, he represents the banal face of hate of urbane, educated India, and of Hindutva. Chubby, smiling, pleasant faces, that carry enough viciousness to take Kashmir far, far away from India.
When kids throw stones in Kashmir, consider this, would they be so wrong to throw stones at Ashish Kaul? It appears that DDI has forced Mr. Kaul to resign. But, please, don’t tell me that they didn’t know about these messages earlier. Tweeters have colleagues and a circle of friends that overlap their personal relationships and their business associates. I’m sure everyone knew about these Tweets, but DDI only took action when their name was linked publically to this kind of virulent hate. Theoretically, their website tells us, they build leaders globally. And, the last thing Mr. Kaul is, is a leader.
We must turn the spotlight on more such hatemongers.
