Few days ago, BJP MP Dr. Nishikant Dubey made a serious accusation on the Supreme Court, stating:
> “If anyone in this country is responsible for inciting religious violence, it would be the Supreme Court and its judges!”
His statement stirred the judges. A, well-known scientist, writer, and speaker Anand Ranganathan released a video statement, fully supporting Dubey. In fluent English, Ranganathan posed 9 powerful questions to the Supreme Court. These questions are very important. Below is a brief summary:
*Anand Ranganathan’s 9 Questions to the Supreme Court:*
1. `Double Standards on Kashmir Issues:` The Supreme Court quickly took up petitions from opposition parties against the removal of Pakistanis and even Article 370, which had given special status to Jammu and Kashmir. But when petitions were filed regarding the 1990s atrocities against Kashmiri Hindus—such as forced displacement, home takeovers, destruction of temples, murders, rapes, and mass exodus—they were rejected by the Court saying, “It happened too long ago.” *Is this not double standards?Doesn’t this create anger among Hindus? Is this not what leads to religious conflict?*
2. `Silence on Waqf Board’s Misuse:` The Supreme Court is now worried about Waqf Board reforms. But in the last 30 years, the Waqf Board has illegally seized property, avoided taxes, and operated a parallel judicial system—yet the Court remained silent. If reforms are seen as a threat to Islam, then how was building mosques and dargahs on Hindu lands acceptable? Over 2 million Hindu properties were seized by the Waqf Board. The Supreme Court stayed silent. *If this is not religious bias, what is?*
3. `Temple Funds Used Elsewhere, Hindus Restricted:` Hindu temples are controlled by the government. Their income is used for madrassas, Haj pilgrimages, Waqf Boards, iftar feasts, and loans. But Hindu religious activities are challenged in Supreme Court and supreme court puts restrictions on hindu religious activities. Petitions related to Hindu rights are often dismissed. Minorities are always given special priority. *Is this fair? Or is this a way to provoke riots ?*
4. `Education Discrimination Against Hindus:` Under the Right to Education Act, Hindu schools must reserve 25% seats for minorities. But Muslim and Christian institutions are exempt from this rule. Thousands of Hindu schools had to close, and Hindu children now study in non-Hindu institutions. *Isn’t this encouraging religious conversion? Why doesn’t the Supreme Court see this one-sided rule?*
5. `Free Speech Hypocrisy:` When Hindus speak, it's called “hate speech.” When others speak, it is called “freedom of expression.” Nupur Sharma merely read from Hadith, and the Court called it hate speech. But when Stalin and other leaders called Sanatana Dharma a “disease,” the Court stayed silent. *Is this justice?*
6. `Biased Ban on Hindu Traditions:` The Supreme Court bans Hindu practices like Dussehra animal sacrifice. But no questions are raised about mass animal slaughter during Eid. During Janmashtami, Dahi Handi celebrations face height restrictions. But no action is taken against Muharram-related violence. Diwali crackers are called harmful to the environment, But Christmas fireworks face no criticism. *Is this not discrimination?*
7. `Worship Places Act Blocks Hindu Restoration:` The 1991 Places of Worship Act mandates that the religious character of places as of August 15, 1947, must not be changed. This law blocks Hindus from reclaiming ancient temples that were destroyed or converted. The Ram Mandir had to be fought for over many decades. Many other temples remain encroached. *Is this not historical injustice?*
8. `Targeting Only Hindu Traditions:` In the Sabarimala case, the Court hurt Hindu sentiments. Some Hindu temples follow male-only or female-only customs.But the Court only questioned Hindu traditions. In Islam, women cannot enter mosques or recite the Quran in certain settings. In Christianity, women cannot become priests. *Why didn’t the Court question those religions?*
9. `Inaction During Anti-CAA Protests:` During the Shaheen Bagh protests and the anti-CAA riots, the Supreme Court did not take firm action. Protesters blocked public roads, but the Court didn’t stop it. *Isn’t this a mockery of the law? Didn’t this too increase Hindu anger?*
Is it supreme Court or discriminatory Supreme Sharia Court.
