Indian form of protest- blacken mans' face with oil
- 6 years ago
Far-right Hindu nationalists in Mumbai have doused the head of an Indian think-tank head in black ink in protest at the launch of a book by a former Pakistani foreign minister.
Indian commentator and politician Sudheendra Kulkarni has face blackened
The Shiv Sena party said the ink attack on Sudheendra Kulkarni was a form of "peaceful protest" against Pakistan.
The party later cancelled a planned protest at the launch of Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri's book amid an outcry.
Mr Kulkarni called the incident "an attack on democracy"
He was later admitted to hospital to have the ink removed.
The Shiv Sena party is a junior coalition partner in the Maharashtra state government, which is ruled by India's governing BJP.
The party was founded in 1966 to keep south Indian migrants out of Maharashtra state and to halt the spread of Islam.
Over time, it has acquired a reputation for promoting religious and ethnic chauvinism while allegedly targeting minorities, especially Muslims.
"A group of 10 or 15 Shiv Sainiks mobbed me, they stopped my car, asked me to come out, they caught me, started abusing me, they said we had ordered you to stop the launch this evening, you didn't listen to us, this is what we'll do with you," Mr Kulkarni told reporters.
