Indian media and Right-wing blog sphere is full of articles like the one below:
Let me first define Islamism and Islamist. (Same definition applies to Hinduvta!)
Anyone who engages in actions to promote their religious views on others and/or wants to use the instruments of state to enforce religious practices - is an Islamist.
Whilst I don’t think Islamists will be able to use the central government apparatus to enforce their diktats - I do think they will be able to use local government powers e.g. permits for loud speakers to spew nonsense. They will also be able to modify the school curriculum and intimidate teachers.
And generally intimidate cultural Muslims who do not want to practice Islam 24/7.
This is why many stuck to Hasina until the bitter end. And are still in fear.
The weak Younus still hasn’t provided any reassurances!!!
