Prof Gregory H Stanton who in January declared a Genocide Emergency Alert for India has once again said that the country has reached the stage of “persecution” which is just one stage away from genocide.
Prof Stanton who is the architect of the “10 stages of genocide” theory and also the founder of Genocide Watch, a non-profit organization that works to predict and prevent genocide and all other forms of mass murder said that India is in the 8th stage of genocide
Speaking at the Mehdi Hassan show, Stanton said, “Genocide is a process. It is not a single day affair. I have researched genocides in the past,” he said, adding, “It is not a thing we cannot stop. But at the primary stage, we have to recognize and acknowledge it. The dehumanization of Indian Muslims is growing severely. When an elected representative spews open hatred against Muslims and calls them termites.
Genocide expert Gregory Stanton said that in the recent past “discriminatory” laws have been passed against Muslims. “Priests in India are calling people to arm themselves and to kill Muslims and that is what will incite people to commit genocide. Indian Muslims are in the stage of persecution, which is the stage right before the genocide,” he said.
He called out the west for its friendly relations with the Modi-led Government and said that the western Governments are complicit and have chosen to look the other way. “It is what our leaders did in the 1930s towards Hitler and today again there is a man who could bring a genocide in India and the west is completely ignoring it,” he said.
