‘Majoritarian Nationalism’
Former Punjab Deputy Speaker Bir Devinder Singh on Wednesday blamed the majoritarian nationalism for Kashmir continuing to burn over the years. He said there was no space for aspirations of minorities under the majoritarian nationalism and this was the biggest threat. He was delivering the presidential address at the function organised by the Sikh Education Society at Guru Gobind Singh College here. It was Tohra who had introduced him to politics. He started his career with All-India Sikh Students Federation. “The problem in India was that the aspirations of minorities were being dubbed as communalism, while majoritarianism as nationalism,” he said — TNS
