What Happened

An Indian Express opinion piece argues that constitutional democracies cannot selectively condemn violence based on its source. While Left-Wing Extremism receives institutional attention, Right-Wing Extremism through vigilantism and hate crimes often goes unexamined. The article criticizes selective moral outrage, stating that the state must remain neutral in addressing all forms of violence to uphold constitutional values and prevent erosion of democratic norms.
