Systemically excluded by Apartheid!
It is with a profound agony, we would have to comprehend the facts that there are very less number of Muslims occupied in government jobs, paramilitary forces, and Worst of all is that there are only 1% muslims in army, in spite of occupying 15% in our country's total population. And , yet we describe ourselves as the most democratic , peace loving nation, with diversified languages, cultures and religions and championing social justice and equality.
Musilms have very poor representation in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha and expect for Kashmir, we don't have a muslim cheif ministef in any of our Indian states. In addition to all the hostilities , Muslims are shouted by BJP leaders to go back to Pakistan, accused of love jihad, and murdered for beef consumption.
Just like rubbing salt on a festering wound, BJP had recently passed the waqf bill , and took control of their monuments, properties, wealth, treasures and heritage.
And i can still recall some of the hate speeches of the RSS cheif Mohan Bhagat, "Every Indian is a Hindu", "Mother Teresa is an hidden agenda", "Every Muslim is an hindu", and "Rapes happen in India , not in Bharat".
BJP is such an insular party, driven by the ideologies of RSS, and they even carry same amount of hatreds as much as they have for Muslim against Christians and minorities. And only with such a party , the secular AIADMK, launched by MGR and guarded by Late Jayalalitha declared their alliance , inspite of their bitter past.
