Why Capitol Hill seige is NOT America’s Babri Masjid ‘moment’:
1. Babri was DEMOLISHED, unlike Capitol Hill which was STORMED.
2. Babri demolition wasn’t a ‘moment’. It was a process that begin in 1949 (placing of idols), 1980s (opening of locks), demolition (1992)....

..post-Babri riots, series of court hearings & finally SC ruling in favour of those who demolished the mosque (2019). As can be seen in MP, Hindutva goons are terrorising Muslims to pay for construction of Ram Mandir. So,it wasn’t a ‘moment’ as privileged liberals are tweeting...
Ask Muslims who are living the reality of post-Babri injustice. Ask about their parents who lived the pre-Babri reality of listening to ‘ek dhakka do, gira do’ chants of Hindutva terrorists. Did any such history of violence & targeted harassment precede the Capitol Hill event?...
For God’s sake, US is a far civilised democracy. Trump’s SM accounts have been restricted, several arrests have been made & the US media (CNN) is calling out the supporters who stormed the Capitol Hill as terrorists’. Has Indian media ever called karsevsks as ‘terrorists’?
Heck, those who were part of the Babri demolition conspiracy/act are occupying top positions of power. So, STOP drawing false & INSULTING equivalences. You don’t have to draw parallels where NO parallels exist.
