This forum seems to be bursting at the seams with all sorts of allegations being leveled against non Muslim Indians, Hindus in particular, about the 'fascist' takeover of our government by 'far right' 'genocidal' maniacs in the form of the BJP, led by a 'mass murderer' in the form of PM Modi and how the Muslims of India are being marched off to the ovens or something... all much common themes if one browses around here a bit.
It's pretty easy to understand where such vitriol comes from given the complicated history of India, spl when it comes from our western neighbours but as an Indian who has lived in India most of his life, and keeps a keen eye on the political goings on here, I see no evidence of such a thing in the works.
Nobody is looking for any sort of 'final solution' here as far as I can tell.
Are there problems ? Sure, plenty.
Are Indian Muslims at any risk of being rounded up and disposed off wholesale, being denied their statehood or rights as citizens ? Hell no !
Just looking to get an idea of what people who actually believe in the 'fascist genocidal Hindus' narrative fear will happen, and maybe a timeline too.. how far are we from the peak, what happens when we get there.. etc
The Indian Muslims probably are more patriotic then you think. I am a pakistani and I am saying this. If they want, they can f--k you hard. Why? because they are not small minority and the kind of persecution they face at the hands for being Muslim.
When you just have to explain to every local vegetable seller or Hindu neighbour or co-worker that you are a good Muslim and a loyal Indian, things usually don't work. You usually don't give explanations that you love your country. Some went as far as abuse Pakistan and badmouthing to prove their loyalty. (most don't hate in their heart, and is jealous of sorts for leaving them behind in the mess and making them minority).
Look you government openly do a genocide of 30 Muslims in bihar in broad day light. You openly killed 50 Muslims in your capital. You media blame Muslims, who are the victims . No one is ready to facilitate. Politicians are not ready to console. 1 hindu life is enough to justify the deaths of 50 Muslims. Media is finding excuses and justifications, even police didn't helped. After all this have you heard any Indian Muslims saying anything against the state? Or even complaining like 'what has the state done for us.'
The tolerance against this persecution is admirable, for centuries they see kashmiri l
Killed by Indian forces and they have said nothing even supported it. For centuries they let India and Indian agencies do bomb blast and terrorist activities in pakistan and they did nothing but cheered.
Yes when as a pakistani you talk to indian Muslim, he seemed jealous at, Pakistan's separation made them a minority and so they have to face persecution. That's not the case. We were in majority in our states unlike them.
And also these Indians Muslims were big on for the demand of Pakistan and they didn't get one. Besides something like the perks Muslims have in an Islamic country also makes them kind of jealous.
Treat your minorities better. It would look better. This is for both Pakistan and India. You as a nation would develop faster. But this regime thinks Muslims are bad. Rather then developing, they are justifying where they come form now.
Now an indian Muslim would explain that his ancesstors came in 10th... 13th, 14th century to India, or they are converted to Islam from Hinduism or they married in to a Muslim family. Like you justify it to the what your are. A British would show a birth certificate of 16th century. Pakistan and Indian have no concept. No Muslims migrate from any country in India. 1 carore Indian Muslims migrate into Pakistan at partition.
PLEASE TELL, WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO, TO JUSTIFY THEIR LOYALITY. COMPARING THE SIZE OF POPULATION EVEN 13 CARORE MEANS THEY ARE VERY SMALL MINORITY .
