Shifting goalposts, a distaste for a level playing field and an inability to deal with reality are defining characteristics of Hindutva supremacism.
Anticipating a knock of reality @swati_gs cries “Muslim appeasement”; even if development and progress are not factors.
#Thread.
By its very definition, a charge of appeasement is an aggressive one, it’s use a provocation in a state of conflict.
When Supremacists use it, they do so for religious polarisation and to aggravate social fissures for political advantage, not to redress forms of discrimination.
The Sachar Committee Report detailed the disadvantages faced by Indian Muslims in nearly every sector and parameter used to judge development indices.
Hence, Muslims have suffered twice over; first as targets of this propaganda, second through the genuine disadvantages it hides.
Supremacists have also been busy sharing writings by Ambedkar to validate their charges.
How these points (from the 1940’s) highlight any disproportionate advantage given by governments to religious segments or disrupt social contracts is incomprehensible.
But the slurs continue!
The 55% of India’s voting public who rejected sectarianism in 2019 must also realise that no appeasement has been extended to exclusively Muslim interests.
This 15% of India’s population has equal rights and liberties as any other and will demand them, as our Constitutional due.
