Narendra Modi is using the Partition to fan Hindutva passions and keep the Indian population distracted
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is at it again. He has mastered the art of manufacturing controversy.  

His goal is a simple one. Fan Hindutva passions at regular intervals so that people stay distracted and do not start asking uncomfortable questions about rising prices, runaway unemployment, or the country’s foreign policy reverses. 

Even larger concerns relating to centre-state relations or citizens’ right to privacy in the face of the Pegasus spyware threats also get marginalized.
