FEW MORE "CONGRESS STOOGES" AND "CONSPIRATORS OF MANUFACTURED CRISIS".
Eminent scientist and Bharat Ratna awardee CNR Rao threw his weight behind a list of writers, artists and scientists protesting growing intolerance in India as more than 50 historians spoke out on Thursday against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s so-called silence on the “highly vitiated atmosphere” in the country.
The historians joined the chorus of protest after acclaimed microbiologist PM Bhargava decided to return his Padma Bhushan and sought a ban on the RSS, the BJP’s ideological mentor.
“It’s a general feeling among the people that there is growing intolerance in society. It’s not only about the scientific community but many intelligent people have protested … There are authors, historians,” Rao, former scientific advisor to the prime minister, told HT on the phone from Bengaluru.
More than 100 distinguished scientists have denounced what they perceive as a climate of intolerance in India in the wake of the killing of rationalist leaders and the brutal lynching of a Muslim blacksmith in Uttar Pradesh over mere rumours of beef consumption.
