Chetna Devi is known to world as Yati Maa Chetnanand Saraswati. She is the head of a Meerut (Uttar Pradesh) based outfit called Akhand Hindustan Morcha, a Hindu nationalist organization.
A lawyer by profession, Saraswati is one of the region’s most charismatic and prominent religious leaders. She is the disciple and successor of Yati Narsinghanand Saraswati, a known minority hater who called for the genocide of Muslims in India.
Saraswati’s prescription for Hindus is ‘kill to live.’ She is driven by hatred of Muslims rather than love for Hindus or Hinduism.
Saraswati spreads hate against Muslims by promoting various conspiracy theories like love jihad, population jihad, rape jihad, and land jihad.
Like several of her ilk, she predicts that by 2030, Muslims will outnumber Hindus and so on. She knows no love but seems to know everything about love jihad! To her, it is a sinister socio-religious plot by ‘sensuous’ Muslim men to lure Hindu girls.
“Young Hindu girls are gullible and vulnerable, easy prey for “sensuous” Muslim men. since Muslims as a community are relatively poor, they live in small houses without privacy. Young children, therefore, witness their parents in the act of sex very early on. Since they are initiated into sexual intimacy early, they are better at satisfying a woman’s desire. Therefore, if a Hindu girl experiences intimacy with a Muslim boy, she falls madly in love, and even the honor of her family becomes a secondary consideration,” she told Scroll.
Saraswati has also given calls for religious war and told Hindus to prepare themselves.
“When Islamic jihadi invaders attacked Bharat, Hindus thought that they were just robbers; but all invaders attacked religious principles of Hindus; presented principle of non-violence in inappropriate manner. As per Hindu Dharma, non-violence means not to tolerate injustice; fighting against oppression and protection of weak sections; therefore, Hindus should get ready and become valiant for protection of Dharma and ‘Dharma-yuddha,'” she said.
