Condemn the Increasing Communalism and Casteism in Karnataka

[A longer version of this open letter was earlier published on the website of Forum for Medical Ethics Society.]

We, the undersigned, write this open letter with tremendous concern about the growing state-led and state-sponsored targeted violence and discrimination against Muslim, Christian, and Dalit communities in Karnataka that can have several long-lasting and adverse consequences, particularly on the most marginalised and vulnerable. The judiciary, media, police, and bureaucracy are complicit in this violence and discrimination.
