Hathras gangrape: CM Adityanath criticises Opposition for protests, calls it ‘conspiracies’

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Adityanath on Sunday criticised the Opposition for their protests against the gangrape and the subsequent forceful cremation of a 20-year-old Dalit woman in Hathras. He claimed the outrage over the incident was part of “conspiracies” to bring instability in the state. “Those who do not like development, want to incite ethnic and communal riots,” Adityanath tweeted in Hindi. “In the guise of these riots, they will get an opportunity to bake political loaves, so that they can devise new plots. We have to move the process of development rapidly by being fully alert to these conspiracies.” “It is possible to solve the biggest problems through dialogue,” read another tweet. He, however, added that the Uttar Pradesh Police has to be “sensitive and proactive” in dealing with cases related to women. जिन्हें विकास अच्छा नहीं लग रहा है, वह जातीय और सांप्रदायिक दंगा भड़काना चाहते हैं। इन दंगों की आड़ में उन्हें राजनीतिक रोटियां सेंकने का अवसर मिलेगा,इसलिए वे न

The widespread Anglophilia of Indians (not surprisingly) can be traced to the expansion of English education in the colonial era. During the early conquest of India by the East India Company in the 18th and early 19th Century, British, Danish, German, and American protestant missionaries had set foot in India to proselytise. At the time they realised that “schools were both the cause and the effect of proselytisation and that educational and missionary work had to be undertaken side by side”. Thus they chose education as their medium for proselytisation, with English as the medium of instruction. However, they faced barri
