Adding further bitterness to this overcooked recipe was the rise of right-wing Hindutva politics. While the Left-Liberal politics was largely circumscribed by a language of universal justice, the Dalit-Bahujan politics grounded those norms of justice in a social narrative of caste. Hindutva politics today is grounding the social processes in the imperative of emotions and human psychology. It is directly appealing and mobilising the emotional-psychological traits, including that of fear, anxiety, anomie, envy, hatred and alienation. There is a concerted effort to mobilise common emotions across castes and classes, directing them against the weaker social groups, primarily against the Muslims and women. Organised lynchings are meant to be symbolic of the permissiveness in the system to target the weak and the demobilised. Given the rampant insecurity and anxiety that have become a way of life, lynchings come through as a symbolic and an emotional relief for a social life lived at the edge. The street violence has become a legitimate mode of political mobilisation, whether it is by the Jats or the followers of the Dera chief. The purported violence and street mobilisations by the Arya Vaishyas against Kancha Ilaiah is only a continuation of that process, which had gained currency under the current political dispensation.
