![]() He said, “Wives of Kaafirs are stolen property and one woman being raped by 50 men is not a big deal.” Here too, he brought down the worth of a woman to just being a commodity that can be raped. “I am Kaafir which means I am eligible to be killed (by them),” he said. Last week, at the event in Baramati, Kalicharan said that Muslims want to convert everyone to Islam because those who are not Muslims are Kaafirs and it is written in the Quran that you should kill a Kaafir. Time and again, women have been dragged in by Hindutva extremist leaders to involve the feelings of honor. It is further worrisome to see that in a country with myriad laws made to protect women and prosecute those who even attempt to harm the dignity of women, such shameless and gruesome calls are not acted upon by those who are supposed to protect the citizens. It is sad to state that a culture which promotes the “worship” of women, certain extremist leaders are treating them as commodities and weapons. ![]() Thus, in the name of “protecting” women belonging one religion, the Hindu extremist leader created this barter system wherein the women of other religion are to be hurt, raped, abducted, and presumably impregnated.

I am instructing our workforce, if we lose one Hindu girl, we must trap 10 Muslim women”. In this particular speech, made at a public rally in Karnataka’s Bagalkot on February 19, Muthalik had said that “They are trapping Hindu women through ‘love jihad’. In the recent times, the ‘love jihad’ bogey has been used by the Hindu extremist outfits to further their communal agenda. This is not the first time that women have been treated as commodities by the Hindu right wing outfits, which are to be protected and exploited according to the calls made by them. This brought in the issue of women safety in this country.
