Whenever people spoke, there was intolerance.

Whoever denies, they are not mentally in India.
There are people called opportunists who denay the truth for their selfish gains.

Any way in short, there are n number of Hindu scholars raised their voice and all of them returned their national or regional awards to show them the protest what the ruling politicians driven henchmen are engaged in, causing huge terror and loss to the minority community.
Whoever denies, definitely they are selfish or out of mentally in India.

This may not be the same. It might keep on increasing or weakening.
