Special Report: Christmas Joy Overshadowed by Politics of Hate and Bigotry

On this Special Report, the focus is on the juxtaposition of Christmas celebrations and the rising politics of hate and bigotry in India. The speaker highlights the Prime Minister's positive gesture of attending a church service but questions if such optics are followed by concrete action against groups like Bajrang Dal and VHP, especially in tribal areas. The segment critically examines the introduction of 'Good Governance Day' on December 25th and the lack of Christmas holidays in Uttar Pradesh schools. The speaker calls out the 'staggering' hypocrisy of those who target Christian missionaries yet are desperate to send their children to Christian-run schools. As the speaker asserts, 'Words therefore need to translate into concrete action on the ground,' emphasizing the need for safety and inclusivity beyond mere symbolism.
