see, it is your perspective and what I posted is mine after carefully understanding the changes in the society around us and pan India scenario.
Hindu Rashtra, is very much the core ideology of RSS and other rightwing Sanghi organizations and general population in some regions. Modi is loved for this cause by Sangh organizations not Development. Abrahamics are expected to meet a treatment of what Jews got from Hitler's reign.
South Indian Hindus are going through a "silent phase" converting them to extreme version called north Indian militant Hinduism unlike the Hinduism I witnessed in Kerala where Muslims are members in Temple committees and a Temple/Church Festival is a gathering of whole village/town. Now, We need RSS and Shiva Sena in Kerala. right? Padmanabha swamy temple is now literally under patronage of Shiva Sena.
for many a North Indian Hindu, a RSS sakha is like a Vincent De Paul society for a Catholic. they are habituated to riots and the Hindu supremacist ideologies.
BJP is the outershell; Shiva Sena, Bajrang Dal etcetera are the protection layers; RSS is the kernel - the Ideology and all.
Regarding Muslim appeasement, I agree. Muslims are treated as vote bank. we all know that. There are a lot of negatives about the Sunni Muslim community in India. but, it is like opening up a Pandora's box. let's abstain from doing that.

some generalizations(can be wrong!) :
Muslims in South who are not Urdu/Hindi speakers, who are not Turkic or Pathan or North Indian, but who are Mappila or Tamil or Beary will be educated and much tolerant than the ones from Hindi heartland who prefers to live in the ghettos, pulling rickshaw and selling pan while the southern Muslims will excel as IAS and IPS officers or Rank holders. so, there is basically some issues with the community apart from growing extremism among some of them thanks to imported ideologies.
