Solidarity Rally Held in Vancouver Canada

Indians Abroad for Pluralist India (IAPI) based in Surrey, Canada was set up by few Indians who are concerned about the state of affairs in India against minorities. The group states, “There has been a systematic attack on the rich pluralist society and culture of India since Narendra Modi came to power with a Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) majority in 2014.” IAPI believes India under Modi is turning into a fascist theocratic Hindu Rashtra, a state serving a majoritarian agenda that is identified with the “nation.” Where Institutions are subverted, education commandeered, dissent suppressed through violence and intimidation, and Dalits and minorities increasingly subjected to mob violence encouraged through impunity.
