Could you please elucidate the distinction between 'Pro-Muslim' and 'Pro-Hindu' parties? Dividing political entities along religious lines underscores India's failure to transcend the specter of Partition. Such division inherently rests on the foundation of bigotry, evident when political parties align themselves along religious affiliations.
Moreover, I'd appreciate an explanation on how a purported 'Pro-Muslim' party has exerted dominance over Hindus since 1947. The pervasive bigotry towards Muslims by Modi and the BJP has been extensively documented since Modi assumed office, rendering further emphasis unnecessary.
First of all, no party is pro Muslim or pro Hindu, all political parties are pro power.
The so called pro Muslim parties just use the Muslim population as votebanks, instead of actually working for their upliftment.
Similarly, a pro Hindu party just uses Hindus to get into power rather than working selflessly for their upliftment.
The biggest so called pro Muslim parties which you can think of from Hindi belt are SP and RJD.
Muslims in UP and Bihar are one of the most downtrodden communities in India even after multiple rules by those two parties. So you can understand how little pro Muslim they are.
Now, being pro Muslim isn't just about having a separate law for Muslims.
When parties like SP or RJD were in power Muslims goons were rampant. The big names you might have heard were Muktar Ansari, Mohammad Shahbuddin, Ateeq Ahmed, Haji Ikram Qureshi etc. Note these are the big names I am telling there were thousands of other smaller Muslim goons and their cronies.
These goons made trouble for normal people who lived in fear and the government turned a blind eye against them.
Second example is In cities like Aligarh, Meerut etc with sizeable Muslim population muslim youngsters used to make life for Hindu girls a hell. Girls can’t go to tuition or school or college without getting harassed, stalked by Muslim youth.
These Muslim youth weren’t goons they were normal youth.
The government turned a blind eye because they didn’t want to hurt their votebank by taking action against Muslim youth.
Third example is petty crime which went unpunished for a large part, again because of vote bank.
There are plenty of other examples how favouring Muslims in the poorer states for vote bank caused normal population to suffer. You get the idea.
The reason why Muslims became goons or eve teasers or petty criminals is because the pro Muslim party didn’t work on their upliftment. A large number of Muslims lived in ghettos and never got out of there and lacked the education to get out.
When BJP emerged the Hindus who were fed up by the above voted for what they believe was a pro Hindu party.
BJP did reduce the above things, especially in UP.
However, they bought in other problems. The sense of we will take revenge now that we are in power have resulted in people being lynched for transporting cattle, or the blind worship culture which is causing massive damage for the poor irrespective of their religion.
Having UCC or not doesn’t impact the common man one bit, but the action of government when they appease a particular community be it minority or majority impacts the common folk.
