If India were a Hindu Rashtra, there would be no need for Modi to pretend that he isn't discriminating. He would be expected to discriminate.

He has to pretend, because he knows what he is doing is illegal under Indian law and constitution.

There is no Hindu Rashtra. What you believe to be Hindu Rashtra and love so much is a secular India, and it is a cruel manipulation by the RSS that is cutting you off from loving it for what it is, in order to destroy the country and capture it for their xenophobic cult.

India has never been a Hindu Rashtra. It was not a complete entity with these borders before independence and at independence was formed as a secular state. Your love for the Hindu culture was nurtured in this confluence of people. Don't get scammed into shrinking it.

For that matter, there is no single culture as "Hindu". Tribals don't follow Sanatan dharma, many castes and tribes bury their dead. Our food is all over the place, as is our dress., language, gods. "Hindu" is basically any native faith that isn't covered by other labels.

What the cattleshed is doing is appropriating this whole, with its own cultures, and imposing one uniform set of beliefs and practices as representative of them all. This is how Hindutva opposes eating beef, though many "Hindus" eat it.

Hindutva doesn't represent india, it is a small but very powerful minority trying to CONQUER India, which is why it doesn't care if our economy, law and order, organizations are destroyed.

Also why it needs to lie and make false promises and trigger paranoia for votes.

Because as Hindutva stands, there are very few who identify with that set of beliefs. So they have to lie about development, trigger violence, so that people feel threatened and vote for them hoping for protection, or some OTHER way than default belief to gain votes.

Don't get scammed into destroying the culture you love, because some idiots are telling you it is actually something else, that will only happen if you vote for them and defend their crimes.

All that "Hindu Rashtra" will do is erode your morals as you are forced to endorse or overlook increasingly abhorrent things. To actively stop evaluating things so your conscience doesn't trouble you. To spread lies, because they seem justifiable to achieve that elusive dream.

And you will have to do it forever, because short of genocides that will have the world boycotting and possibly attacking India, there is no way to do it.

It is the perfect impossible task to occupy with and force you to accept your own indignity.

You can't have a Hindu Rashtra, because Muslims already exist. Put them in detention camps, you're forcing Hindus to spend to feed them. Kill them wholesale, apart from the practical consequences, will make Hindusim look so bad you won't want to be one.

Think of it as a sugar solution. Possible because of water and sugar, but getting the sugar out is not possible. (salt, if you don't think of Muslims as sweet)

You can't strain it out, you only waste effort. You could distil it, but then it is the water taken out. Sugar remains.

It is a fool's errand you have been assigned. You are being weaponized against the country you love, so that you keep others occupied with fear and intimidation, while the country is attacked.

Don't be that fool. It is impossible to not see in today's times.
