There is plenty of propaganda floating around from both sides. If you dislike muddy waters, I would recommend staying out of Indian politics. It is a clusterfuck.
To add to your top comment, these events - protestors attacking police personnel and protestors raiding Red Fort and raising their own flags - happened on republic day, which is like a mini 4th of July for India (we have two: 15th August, which is when India became independent and 26th January, which is when India adopted its constitution). On Republic Day, India observes the president furl India's national flag from the Red Fort, so seeing these events unfold, especially seeing a flag other than the Indian flag at Red Fort on Republic Day, were of very big symbolic value.

Same flag is the flag of that Regiment, saluted by Prime Ministrr on every Jan 26 parade on Punjab state's vehicle (jhaanki, kind of vehicle is converted & decorated with things showing culture,). Same modi, whose Delhi Police tramples the Tiranga, whose party flies the Tiranga lower than party flag, whose mother party RSS has never flown that flag ever in their premises, events even in 52 years since 1947. & Bumtw, Tiranga was never touched.
- eklavya 6y agoWhat are you talking about? Didn’t you see the national flag hoisting event in RSS headquarters live on the news like every year?
- xrisk 6y agoHe's talking about the fact that the RSS did not raise the Indian flag till about 2002. And that their historical opposition to the flag is well documented.
- davchana 6y agoNo, I want to see RSS every year as much as a True Indian want to see Pakistan Independence Day parade. Never. RSS did not hoist Tiranga till 2002. Don't you know or you conveniently ignore?
- eklavya 6y agoWow, that seems to be correct. I wonder why they would do that. In my childhood I went to an RSS school and we used to hoist the national flag all the time. Strange.
- intended 6y agoThe RSS does not want India, they want Bharat, they are for a Hindu nation. This isn't even a hidden fact, but in every basic dossier on India.
- eklavya 6y agoWhere Hindu is a nationality/culture and not a religion. India is a name given by slavers. Bharat is a very very old concept.
- intended 6y agoThat lovely linguistic sleight of hand means that people called a region bharat. By the criteria how come Sri Lanka is not included? Or how do you reconcile the 7 sisters being part of that? For that matter the word Europe exists - are you arguing that states should act like nations a la the EU?
- eklavya 6y agoI reconcile that by the fact that the same unifying culture is and has been present for centuries in the whole subcontinent.

- sbmthakur 6y agoEven if those true doesn't permit anyone to trespass RedFort and do as per their will.
- davchana 6y agoYes, agreed, & thats why 100s of Sikhs are now in Jails around Red Fort, without any access to Lawyer or Phone Calls. But Modi Bhakats are tweeting all the way Missing Indira Mummy. They also want to burn Sikhs just like any power hungry party, be it 1984 like Congress, 2002 like Godhra.
- eklavya 6y agoModi bhakts would be on the side of sikhs surely. Sikh community is the reason Hinduism survives in large parts of India. The people you are calling “sikhs” were throwing policemen off heights. Do they get to kill without impunity? What are you defending here exactly?
- davchana 6y agoPlease read again. I said, that violence is the reason 100s of people are in delhi jail now (guilty or not). & Please read again. Modi Bhakats are wishing the 1984 style sikh killings, same as their Mother india's murder started. They are not on sides of Sikh, or Muslim, or even Indian. They want India to be a piss drinker's Hindu Rashtar. I am defending & one of those group, who want India, its government & operating body free of any religious bigots, any extremists (any belief), any supremacists.
- eklavya 6y agoSources, sources and not your disgustingly twisted propaganda. Who is wishing Sikh killings? God stop it.

You Modi Godi Bhakats are wishing to teach Sikhs a lesson, by repeating 1984 & Godhra, burning & teaching lesson. I thought you are on HN, most probably not being paid Rs 2 by BJP per post. These tweet links are only by one search on Twitter Indira Gandhi. & Many of these have photos of Modi, Savarkar & such. You stop just repeating what Dalal media is feeding you, Fox news equivalent from India. & Stop conveniently not answering my points, but twisting & gas lighting. All I wish is Modi dictator goes away back to Gujrat if they want, people vote him out. Anybody who thinks about people, is not extremist, not lier, not fake, should be voted in. Not rahul gandi, not Kamal nath.
