The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

In early January, discriminatory posters were found along the Ganges River in Varanasi, India, that read in large text, “Entry Prohibited - Non-Hindus”. The body of the poster said the stairways that go directly into the river and temples along the Ganges are symbols of the Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism), and that only those who have faith and belief in Sanatan Dharma are welcome. The poster concluded in a larger text, “This is not a request, but a warning.” Varanasi Police identified Rajan Gupta and Nikhil Tripathi, members of the hardline right-wing hindu groups Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal respectively, as the perpetrators. Tripathi stated to reporters "Non-Hindus violate the purity of the ghats (the stairways into the river). That is why this warning has been issued to them." They were detained for “breaching the peace” and the police have launched an investigation. The posters were removed by the police with the help of volunteers.
