As elections approach, we are likely to see the BJP and its supporters intensify accusations of Muslim appeasement. But are Indian Muslims indeed the beneficiaries of undue favours? https://twitter.com/SreenivasanJain/status/1771842332956021101?s=20

https://twitter.com/i/status/1771842332956021101  the authors interrogate some theories that are part of the landscape of WhatsApp chats and social media feeds of millions of Indians every day. Chapter 1 examines ‘love jihad’, perhaps the most ascendant of all these claims. Starting with the first known case of ‘love jihad’, the authors investigate arguably the only definitive list of ‘love jihad’ cases. They travel to the state where the largest number of arrests have been made under new anti-love jihad laws to explore if the crackdown is justified. Chapter 2 places ‘population jihad’—the claim that Muslims are waging a holy war by producing more children—under the scanner.

Chapter 3 scrutinizes the Hindutva claim of a sinister Christian scheme to take over India through mass forced conversions. Chapter 4 examines the theory of Muslim appeasement, probing assertions like unequal availability of electricity on Diwali and Eid, the hajj subsidy, funds to madrasas, and the favourite bugbear of the Hindu Right: Muslim men being able to take up to four wives.

Free education for girls from economically disadvantaged families (from kindergarten to post graduation), LPG cylinders at Rs 450 apiece, 2.5 lakh jobs over the next five years, ‘anti-Romeo’ squads to curb eve-teasing and a ‘gangster task force’ to clamp down on ‘anti-India’ activities. These are among the commitments the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has made in its poll manifesto for Rajasthan.

For 2024, Opposition is still in the game https://indianexpress.com/article/opinion/columns/yogendra-yadav-writes-for-2024-opposition-is-still-in-the-game-9058961/

.. the BJP has not received a massive popular endorsement in the latest round.

Suppose the citizens of these states vote exactly the same way next year as they did in the recent assembly elections, the net gainer will
be Congress, not the BJP.

If we add up assembly-wise votes for each parliamentary seat, the tally will be

24 for BJP and 5 for the Congress in Madhya Pradesh (compared to 28-1 in 2019),

8 for BJP and 3 for the Congress in Chhattisgarh (9-2 in 2019),

14 for BJP and 11 for Congress in Rajasthan (24-0 in 2019) and

0 for the BJP and 9 for the Congress in Telangana (4-3 in 2019). In all, it would mean

46 seats for the BJP (loss of 19) and 28 seats for the Congress (gain of 22)

Look at the big picture.

In 2019, the BJP won 303 seats, just 30 seats above the majority mark.

The BJP faces significant depletions in Bengal, Karnataka  Maharashtra) and Uttar Pradesh

Add to it near-certain but minor losses in Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Telangana and Assam.

Seven decades down the line the electoral scene has changed for the worse and is currently dominated by emotive issues. The foundation of derailing the ‘this worldly’ issues was the Ram Temple movement. This movement became stronger after the implementation of Mandal Commission report. Since then the domination of emotive, identity issues is on the rise. This is reflected by the fact that in 2019, no party dared to utter the word secularism, as claimed by the winner of 2019 elections, Mr. Narendra Modi himself. He presented it as a trophy for the efforts of RSS-BJP’s political success.

It is in this track that any issue can be given a religious turn as we witnessed its peak in the coining of phrase ‘Corona Jihad’. This showed how electoral politics can be reduced merely to game of identity issues. BJP has mastered this art over a period of last few decades. The media, which is prostrating to BJP ideology, is putting its best efforts to magnify the doings of communal stream.

Not to be left behind, Arvind Kejrival is trying to compete which these divisive efforts revolving around identity issues, in his own unique smart ways. The AAP, which in a way, is an alternate model of communal politics; is playing its Hindutva/communal card with shrewdness. Kajriwal party is also an example of blind subservience to the dictator by the other leaders of that party. As Kejriwal demanded this; all his cronies, stated saying the same. The peak of this was Atishi Marlena, who stated that this demand of Laxmi-Ganesh is not merely Kejriwal demand, it is the aspiration of 130 crore Indians! Most of the dictatorial tendencies believe they are speaking for the whole country. This is a duplicate of what Narendra Modi, when he was Chief Minister of Gujarat, used to say that he is talking on behalf of Five Crore Gujratis. India needs a party which can accommodate all sections of society with equality and dignity, apart from welfare; it also promotes employment and proactively deals with marginalized sections of society. We need a party where religion is not mixed with politics. For many, AAP began with a big promise for a better politics, but its reality is there for all to see with its trajectory leading to demanding Laxmi and Ganesh on currency notes and dumping of Jan Lokpal in the dustbin of Hisotry!
