Review: Threatened Existence: A Feminist Analysis of the Genocide in Gujarat

Threatened Existence: A Feminist Analysis of the Genocide in Gujarat by International Initiative for Justice in Gujarat

Hindu fascists are alive and well in India, totally under the radar of the Unitedstatesian left (and right, as if they would care anyway; the only religious fascists they care about are the Islamic ones with no real power). This book chronicles the state-sponsored genocide in Gujarat, orchestrated by the Modi government and looked upon with approval by members of a pervasive network of right-wing Hindu nuts across the country and the Indian diaspora. Eyewitness and victims' testimony details women being gang-raped and fetuses being cut out of uteri, people tortured and their bodies, sometimes alive, being burned to destroy the evidence.

More evidence that when Westerners cry "Never Again!" in response to the genocide of the European Jews, they mean "Never again (will we allow Hitler to come to power in 1930s Germany, etc.)!"
