HD Kumaraswamy (HDK) – the serial crier of India has put to display his frustration over not being politically relevant in Karnataka, leave alone in India. Across the country, a voluntary donation drive for the construction of a grand Ram Mandir is underway, spearheaded by many organisations like the RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal, etc. The fund collection drive has annoyed liberals and Hindu-baiters alike, for how dare anyone ask them for donations for the same Ram Mandir they have opposed throughout their miserable lives?
HDK went a step further and went on to allege that the RSS was marking those houses which were paying up and those which were not – similar to what Nazis did to Jewish homes before the Holocaust.
Taking to Twitter, former Karnataka chief minister HDK said, “It appears that those collecting donations for the construction of Ram Mandir have been separately marking the houses of those who paid money and those who did not. This is similar to what Nazis did in Germany during the regime of Hitler when lakhs of people lost their lives.”
I don’t know where these developments, which are being witnessed in India, take us finally.

To add weight to his insane assertions, HDK said that since the RSS and Nazi party were formed at the same time, an Indian variant of the Holocaust is not far. “Historians say that RSS took birth at the same time when Nazi Party was founded in Germany. There are concerns on what will happen if the RSS tries to implement similar policies adopted by Nazis. The fundamental rights of people are being snatched away in the country now,” he said.
The country is witnessing a situation where one cannot freely express his or her views. This is nothing but an undeclared emergency.

Kumaraswamy also claimed that there was an undeclared emergency in India and that nobody can express their views freely in today’s India. That the former chief minister did so quite ironically on Twitter is something to be discussed at a later moment. Additionally, HDK also pontificated over where such authoritarian tendencies will take India, subtly pointing to the direction of a holocaust.
In Nazi Germany, before the Holocaust and gassing of Jews began in concentration camps, the community was marked out, by being forced to wear a yellow badge for easy identification. Jewish homes were marked with a yellow star, known as the ‘David’s Star’ for Nazi foot soldiers to identify easily. From these marked homes, the Jews were taken to concentration camps.
HD Kumaraswamy is claiming that the same situation today prevails in India. Of course, the man forgot to mention the brutal murder of Rinku Sharma recently, who was killed by Islamists for merely saying Jai Shri Ram and collecting donations for the construction of Ram Mandir. The RSS, when asked for their opinion on the assertions of HDK, said that his comments do not merit a response.
