![]() ![]() Hindutva Fantasies of Fetishizing Muslim Women The protagonist is seen chanting the slogan of ‘Jai Shri Ram’ in tandem with the ‘Jai Hind’, equating the religious chant with the patriotic slogan. ![]() In the 1.3-minute promo trailer, the series upholds popular Islamophobic stereotypes of an oppressed Muslim woman and anti-education Muslim parents keen on marrying off the daughter.Ĭontrary to the obvious antagonist, the trailer works as a fitting RSS propaganda, championing the Hindutva organization as a ‘nationalistic’ outfit promoting nationalism and the ideology of Hindutva.

In a scandalous trailer promoting the new Kannada series titled ‘Raziya Ram’, the channel pushes forth the RSS’s favourite trope of a saviour Hindu man rescuing a ‘damsel-in-distress’ Muslim woman.
