History will record the recent incidents as not a second bout of renaissance but as radicalising a section of rationally thinking citizen. The radicalising process of a large section of Islam in Afghanistan and India can be studied for reference. The efforts towards destroying a belief of wide section of people has united believers who were hitherto either not bothered to unite or didn't have a common cause for uniting. It has as well as radicalised people . Just like mosquito bite creates irritation and itching on your skin, the guerilla war by non believers against the believers for breaking the order of society and for appeasing a section of society who will be happy when they see
people of a different cult getting hurt has disrupted the peace in the society. Random interview of women who built the wall has shown that they do not even understand the cause for which they stood there. National media reported these women we're standing in queue requesting entry of women to Sabarimala. Clearly people are disoriented and media is helping in the hallucination. While I am not against entry of women into the temple, I don't believe in menstrual taboo, born and brought up in an Iyer family my parents have never asked my sister or me to sit in a separate corner during the five days of bleeding. I am not a daily temple goer so it didn't matter to me in any way that I cannot get on this one temple until I am 50. I am sure I will not be the only Hindu lady to whom it didn't matter or make a difference until there was a planned effort to attack that belief. Just like the irritation and swelling on skin after a bug bite, my mind is swollen, my emotions have been hurt and I have lost peace. I can now completely relate with lakhs of Muslim women who suddenly started wearing hijab after Babri Masjid incident. Many ladies who in their late thirties were ready to be pregnant and give birth again only to increase their number so that they are no more a minority. If a passive believer like I have been hurt, that I want to protest against this how would an active practising Hindu would be feeling. This is not renaissance this is radicalising a society
