Hindutva clamoring for England is nothing new; 100 years of history: Ashok Swain
NEW DELHI: Educationist and writer Ashok Swain has objected to the propaganda of Hindutva extremist groups regarding the match between England and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup final.
Ashok Swain said that there is a history of 100 years behind the Hindutvaists clamoring for England. His response was via tweet.
‘A Hindu supremac-isst cries out for England. This is nothing new; This is 100 years of history,’ tweeted Ashok Swain.
Ashok Swain’s tweet was when the T20 World Cup final was going on. After the England-Pakistan match in the final, Hindutvadis shared comments that they supported England to defeat the ‘enemy country’ Pakistan.
Hindu supremacists approve of England – this is not new; this is 100 years of history.

This led to hate speech on Twitter. Criticisms against him are that these campaigns have gone beyond the sportsman’s spirit. Ashok Swain’s tweet is in this situation.
