Let me add a little different angle.
Except for a few countries like the UK, Canada, and the USA, which actively advocate for equal rights for all citizens, how many other nations truly uphold the same principles?
I don’t want to delve too deeply or name other countries, but since China is geographically close to us, let me ask—how many minority leaders hold key positions in their government, bureaucracy, or decision-making roles? The same question applies to Pakistan.
It is a well-known fact that where one group forms the majority, they tend to have a greater influence on governance and policies, while minorities often have to make compromises in various aspects.
In India, religion is deeply intertwined with vote politics. One side of the political spectrum focuses on minorities, creating fear against the opposing party, while the other side primarily appeals to the majority religion.
This ongoing political game fuels divisions, conflicts, and unfortunate incidents, leading to various issues and challenges across the country.
As for India, this dynamic will likely remain unchanged. There will be ups and downs depending on the political leadership in power. If Congress wins the next election, they are expected to promote more Muslim leaders as part of their vote-bank politics and provide them with additional benefits.
So, I leave this question—if India officially declares itself a Hindu country and changes its equal policies for all religions and only prefer hindus, similar to what many other countries have done, would that satisfy you? - (i don't believe it will ever happen.) just example
On paper, India would be a Hindu nation, with no ambiguity or pretence. Would you still find a reason to criticize India?
