Hate speech communication by modern day politicians


Hate speech has become very common now a days by the modern day politicians be it any political party. This issue has again come to light in a recent case of Varun Gandhi. Let’s look at the few lines of his speech. Following are the excerpts of speech:

Yeh panja nahi hai, yeh kamal ka haath hai. Yeh kat** ke galey ko kaat dega chunaav ke baad. Jai Shri Ram! Ram ji ki jai! Varun Gandhi kaat daalega! Kaat denge us haath ko, kaat denge, kaat daalega!
Apne jao, apne gaon mein jao aur halla karo ki saara Hindu ek tarfa ho jao, chhetra ko Pakistan hone se bachao, aur saara Hindu ek tarfa ho jao! - See more at:
Kya yeh sach nahin hai… ki usko bola gaya ki mataji aapka naam kya hai... agar usne bola ki Bimla Devi, to usko kahaa ki dekhenge, sochenge... pehle paanch hazaar rupaye do... aur agar uska naam hai Saira Bano ya jo bhi Begum Hukum Begum... hum to jaante nahin hain... badey daraawne naam hotey hain inke... Karimullah... Mazharullah.... agar raat ko kabhi dikh jaayen... to darr rahen hain... - http://www.indianexpress.com/news/-badey-daraawne-naam-hotey-hain-inke...-karimullah-mazharullah...-varun-gandhi-kaat-daalega...-/435950/#sthash.2UNXU541.dpuf

Post reading these lines any Muslim will feel offended and this will create a feeling of communalism. What is the motto of these speakers when they use such language? Another similar case of Owaisi also became the headline and then he too got rid-off the charges. They very well know that their speech will create havoc but still they dare to use such language. They try to appease their voters by exclusively targeting them, however they forget that they do have people of the all religion in their party. Still they commit such blunder. What is the underlying thought process when they do such activity?

Well instant gratification is the underlying cause. People have become so impatient that they need the result instantaneously. The quick applaud by the group of people gives them immense satisfaction of victory. The very basic nature of human being to be admired by the audience and applaud by them takes him to the state of mind that whatever he is saying is proving to be effective. The emotional rush of adrenaline boosts him further to emphasize on those things which he thinks will be liked by the audience and this in turn ensures his vote bank politics. Some people may say that this is divide and rule policy but a wise leader is the one who follows the united stand take for example Narendra  Modi. He has very wisely come out of the grave situation and won the hearts of people of his state. If we go through the content of speech of Narendra Modi he uses a very influential language which proves to be quite effective.

But a very interesting after result of these speeches is the politicians very easily get away with the judiciary system. They create a headline for some days and then everything disappears. Is this the right way a democratic nation should work on? India is a country with so many religions and diverse culture, this hate speech communication is a very dangerous issue that can slowly and slowly divide people on the basis of their religion and can lead to communal riots. If the frequency of these speeches increases then people will start having mindset of hatred against the other religion especially among the illiterate people in India.

Hate speech law in India ensures right punishment for the person indulging in such activities. But then where is the flaw. Media should act as an important tool to solve these issues. If hundreds of people are present as their audience and there is a live coverage of the same then how come there is a gap in these issues. Media should proactively take these issues seriously and be able to create a movement which can bring the guilty to picture. Otherwise what people will think is the media in India is in total control of the politicians. Any movement for promoting mutual harmony like recent one Bharat Nirmaan will do less of positive impact as compared to the destruction caused by the communal leaders. Shouldn’t there be a strict code of conduct for these people. What call should the media aptly take? Innumerable questions but without any positive answer. Is there a loophole in the judiciary system which needs to be revisited? Hope for a bright future of Indian politics unless some strict course of action is taken for inappropriate activities.
