‘Who Was Godse?’ Asks Twitter After PM’s ‘No Hindu Terror’ Remark

“Is there a single incident in the history of thousands of years of Hindus engaging in terrorism?” Modi had said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments attacking the Congress for allegedly linking “peace-loving Hindus” to terrorism at a rally in Maharashtra’s Wardha on Monday, 1 April, has generated quite a stir on social media.

Soon after his comments surfaced, people took to Twitter to remind the prime minister of the terrorist acts ‘committed by Hindus’ even while indicating that terrorism has no religion.

A number of Hindus committed terrorist acts against the British in the late colonial period. See Durba Ghosh's 2017 book, titled Gentlemanly Terrorists: Political Violence and the Colonial State in India 1919-1947.
