Deciphering Hindutva’s Influence on Regional Security
A central highlight of the workshop was an exclusive interactive session led by Lieutenant General (Retd) Aamer Riaz, Hilal-e-Imtiaz (Military). The session provided a comprehensive intellectual and ideological critique of Hindutva-driven Indian politics and its overarching strategic trends in South Asia.
"The systematic persecution and exploitation of minorities in India has shifted from isolated incidents to routine state-sanctioned policy." — Lieutenant General (Retd) Aamer Riaz
Key Takeaways: The Dual Face of Modern Indian Policy
The discussion systematically dismantled the geopolitical narratives deployed by New Delhi, highlighting the sharp contrast between its global branding and domestic realities:
The Secular Facade: While India projects a progressive, secular image to the international community, its internal mechanisms inflict systematic atrocities on minority populations, particularly Muslims.
State-Sanctioned Oppression: Violence and discriminatory practices targeting minorities operate with the tacit patronage and complete authorization of the Indian government and its judicial institutions.
The RSS-BJP Narrative Machinery: The ruling RSS-BJP nexus routinely weaponizes communal violence and civilian casualties to engineer targeted political narratives and consolidate electoral power.
