This happens in Lucknow Hyderabad Kashmir, everywhere.The problem is there is always suspicion for a muslim.
Suspicion is against the fundamentalist muslim, the one with the long beard and the traditional attire. And that is the same world over. The modern liberal ones hovewer cherish and rejoice in india. I have many muslim friends and they say the same thing. The morr u show u r different, u will be treated differently.
Their vote is nullified however. For example in the recent election muslims overwhelmingly voted for the Congress (30%+)... if only they had voted Congress would be in power. This shows the schism between hindus and muslims and the severe difference between them in everything including voting preferences
Half the reason for the problems muslims face in india is coz of the congress. Congress played votebank politics, deliberately wanted the muslims to feel insecure, saying if bjp comes to power, muslims will be doomed. Tell me exactly how many gujarat like riots happened? None.
If u feel u r a victim, u will be treated like one, as weak.
Compare it with the sikhs, during the punjab insurgency, and after that the riots, it was very terrible. Look at them now, they r one of the most affluent and respected communities in india. They moved on in the right direction. Hell even our PM was a sikh. So was a muslim our president. So plz stop lecturing us about equal rights to everyone, we may have a long way to go, but we r on the right track.
@haviZsultan, i failed to mention about some recent events.
Young muslims attracted towards isis ideology were heading towards syria. Intelligence agencies caught them, and guess what they did? They deradicalized them by therapy and getting help from jamaat e ulema e hind and let them go.
This is a method introduced by the bjp and ajit doval.
