In the contemporary scenario, the 2014 election in India was a welcoming year for militant Hinduism and extreme nationalism when BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) came into power with 282 seats. A few incidents also took place regarding the harassment of democratic rights in the period during the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government but things have changed drastically after the arrival of the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) government in India. It attacked the fundamental rights of people. The present government has started interrupting every aspect of people’s life. No one can decide what someone will keep for a meal in his or her refrigerator. The choice of food has been threatened. India has transformed a lot through the post-independence period to till date especially when Hindu nationalist party like BJP came into power.
