The Mandya district of Karnataka was gripped by “peaceful” violence on the sacred occasion of Ganpati Utsav. The Ganesh festival is a Hindu celebration that usually spreads joy, goodwill, and devotion. However, what should have been a peaceful immersion procession in Nagamangala was marred by unprovoked “peaceful” aggression.
This 93% Hindu population region exploded into riots resulting in police instituting BNSS 163 in Nagamangala. The anti-Hindu violence began with stone-pelting and ended with the silence of curfew. Let’s ubox this tale of Khatakhat tale of ‘Hindus Under Attack’ in an INDI Alliance State!

As Hindu devotees danced and celebrated Ganpati Utsav’s immersion, the “peaceful” community responded not with respect, but with stones.
A gang of Muslim youths threw stones at the immersion procession from a nearby masjid! The incident quickly spiraled out of control. Reports state that the Ganpati procession briefly stopped near a “peaceful” place fo worship. Some state that this halt was a common practice of showing respect to all religions and sharing joy of the festival. However, this simple ‘secular’ act enraged members of the Muslim community, who demanded the procession move on.
Heated words were exchanged, and despite the police’s attempts to calm the situation, it escalated into full-blown violence.
Stones began flying, leading to widespread chaos as Mandya, Karnataka burnt in “peaceful” flames. Seven bikes, six small shops, and multiple vehicles were torched in the violent clashes. Tensions mounted as Hindus gathered at the Nagamangala police station to protest, demanding justice for the unprovoked attack on their festival. Despite the police’s intervention, the Hindu community felt betrayed by both law enforcement and the INC Karnataka government. Is this the price of ‘Khatakhat’ Freebies for Hindus? Who Knows!
Karnataka Appeasement Politics: Hindus Pay the Price?
The CON party Karnataka government has destroyed the finances of the state. Government employees suffer from delayed salaries. Citizens suffer from the price rise of electricity, bus fare, milk, and water! In the past year, the INC has turned the state into a pauper through its Khatakhat Freebie schemes. Additionally, their appeasement politics towards a “peaceful” community has emboldened the community to cause havoc in this Hindu majority state!
The updates Victim Card “peacefuls enjoy political patronage while the aggression against Hindu identity and community increases.
Ganpati Puja was attacked in both Karnataka and Gujarat.
The difference between these two states lies in how they dealt with the rioters. Karnataka HM called it a minor incident, whereas Guj HM ensured that all the rioters witnessed the sunrise in jail, with swollen legs. pic.twitter.com/cBj6fUQC0a— Mr Sinha (@MrSinha_) September 12, 2024
The attack on Ganapati Utsav was degraded by the Home Minister of Karnataka, G Parmeshwar. As per the minister, since it caused “no harm” it should be highlighted or politicized by the media. Many wonder if the the lack of deaths was regarded as an absence of harm! Does the CON party ignore the hurt caused to the religious sentiments of Hindus?
“Peacefuls” Arrested For Violence, Hindus Arrested For Retaliation?!
In reality, 52 individuals were taken into custody after the violent clashes erupted. Hindus and “peacefuls” were arrested equally. These ‘secular’ arrests further the narrative that both sides were responsible for the violence. However, the facts tell a different story. The Karnataka Hindus were celebrating Ganpati Utsav. They became the victims of stone-pelting and arson by a “peaceful” community that is increasingly testing the limits of communal harmony among Hindus in the state. And the arrest of Hindus shows that the CON party regards retaliation to “peaceful” violence as an equal crime. Consequently, many wonder if the Hindus are supposed to take such “peaceful” attack silently without retaliation to showcase their innocence!
BJP MLC CT Ravi criticized the Siddaramiah government, accusing them of shielding the miscreants responsible for the violence.

Last year after INC came to power, similar incidents occurred during Ganesh Chaturthi procession as well. The repeat of such violence indicates a pattern and the weakness of a INC government that is unwilling or unable to take decisive action. MLC Ravi indicated that since “peacefuls” are the true vote bank of the CON party, these individuals feel an increase in confidence to participate in anti-Hindu acts with impunity!
It seems that the Congress-led government continues to provide a safe haven for the “dara hua” community. Even when they are at the ones that instigate the crime! In the name of minority appeasement, the true victims – the Hindus who voted them into power – are left vulnerable. Thus, Hindu festivals, their traditions, and their rights are under siege by the vote banl of the very political outfit they trusted with power!
A Dark Shadow Over Hindu Festivals
The growing aggression against Hindu festivals in Karnataka, and Bharat, reflects a scary trend. As the population of the “peaceful” community rises, the safety of non-Muslims and sanctity of Hindu celebrations come under increasing threat. Moreover, the increase in radicalization of “peaceful” elements defies the laws of good education or social upliftment. The one-book-followers work in tandem to humiliate and threaten the majority Hindu population of Bharat!
Hence, festivals, which are a time of joy and devotion, are clouded by fear of unprovoked “peaceful” violence.
Hindus in Nagamangala, and many other parts of Bharat, find themselves asking: when did it become dangerous to celebrate their festivals? The communal clashes over Ganpati immersion aren’t just an isolated event. They represent the dark reality that Hindu festivals; like Durga Pooja, Ram Navami, and others; are no longer safe from “peaceful” attacks in their homeland.
The violence and curfew in Nagamangala should serve as a wake-up call for Hindus. The relentless focus on appeasement by Shehzada’s party emboldens “peacefuls.” The price for Khatakat Freebies are the disrupted Hindu traditions and rituals. Therefore, these riots on Ganapti Utsav in Karnataka show how the CON party has failed once more in its duty to protect Hindus. As long as petty personal gains guide voting choices, the “peacefuls” shall enjoy the fruits of power flavored by the Khatakat greed of Hindus.
A Call for Action
Each election should be a Dharmic choice for Hindus. Why? Because the Karnataka riots during Ganpati Utsav are a stark reminder of the dangers Hindu existence faces. Hindu festivals, a symbol of unity and celebration, are targets of “peaceful” aggression. Appeasement politics with a side dish of Freebies ensures that anti-Hindu powers rule in Bharat. And these political powers embolden the “peaceful” community. Example: Himachal Pradesh protests against illegal masjid, and spike in Samajwadi element’s crimes against women in UP!
The INDI Alliance panders to one specific vote bank unashamedly!
Additionally, it seeks to divide Hindu votes by encouraging a reverse caste bias in the nation.
Thereby, making the divided Hindu community give up the right to harmonious Hindu celebrations and existence! Hence, Hindus of Bharat suffer the consequences of Khatakhat schemes while the rising “peaceful” population undermines their right to religious freedom. Thus, Hindu victims of such “peaceful” aggression must prepare to cast votes to only those who ensure that Hindus are safe and Sanatana Dharma is not demonized! Why? Because in every election, big or small, Hindus hold the power to alter their destiny and ensure survival!
