The "Muslim problem" of India

The Indian subcontinent has been a centre of interreligious and multicultural pooling although overly harmonious with few exceptions. Later, with the age of modern India religion took the front seat of the politically driven colonial vehicle at this very time small cracks of religious biases was given flood pass in the form of institutionalised communalism as quoted by Pandit Nehru on the act of 1909 famously called Morley-Minto reforms as " This act has institutionalised communalism in India" Although India got independence in 1947 institutional communalism had done its task and resulted in a religious divide that nobody had ever witness or heard of in the subcontinent ultimately lead to partition and long dark pages of history. 

Subsequently, the political discourse of the country after the Nehruvian era likewise started enriching its political aspiration through a trumpet called communalism, a shortcut to victory, now blaming minority as a group began as few groups gave an ear but not got much momentum but as said: "speak a lie thousand time and people start believing". By the time validation of such an evil ideology was boosted up many societal anxieties and lack of quality education which would have generated analytical skills among people has been largely compromised to date.

Digital expansion brought almost everything under your palm including the communal virus of new India if you have an opportunity to watch mainstream media can easily realise that almost 2/3 rd news and debates are on about the problem created by " them' and it can be traced down that currently the nation is in danger due to "them" with there definition of the nation which is exclusive, from converting Hindus to doing love Jihad and ultimately killing Cow etc, as if there is a Muslim pandemic. The Indian investigating agencies popular for arresting terror accused, conversion mafias have merely 2.1 per cent conviction rate (govt. record) and mainstream Indian media which report such incidents as a huge success as "terrorists with Pakistan funding link arrested" has lower down to 142nd rank out of 180 countries (world press freedom index 2021).     

The Muslim problem in India is nothing but a creation of the Government and Media nexus. History is repeating itself, now the onus is on the majority community of this nation to stand by the principles and strive towards the objective which our forefathers visioned, as "a nation is like a human body and the heart and soul of the nation is it's Constitution".
