The BJP is supposed to be the epitome of communal hate politics and anybody in opposition to it automatically gets the label of secular.
It is this popular liberal narrative that helps other party to be perceived as Secular, Facts often fall to pieces along the way.
Once the image stuck, people saw and believed whatever they wanted to.

That is how perceptions are formed. It has little to do with reality. If one cares to look closely at the statistics, the secular image of most mainstream 'secular party' is nothing more than a fallacy.
Riots in India have been used to push the minority to the periphery of society while ferrying them to patronising political parties.

In essence, minorities have become single issue voters focusing entirely on their security in society

The focus therefore shifts from education,
employment and other markers of development in the face of the imminent threat of communal violence.

Muslims & other minority communities look at the occurrence of riots as a direct attack on them as historically it is the minorities who suffer the most during communal violence
BJP is the only party whose record directly matches popular perception.

Riots & Genocide are engineered historically for political gain by many Political parties
Most of the other "Secular" parties like "congress" & "samajwadi party (up)" ..etc. are wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Uninformed & gullible Minority voters are the only thing keeping Samajwadi & Congress secular credentials intact.

In a public sphere where liberals propaganda, fear-mongering and conflict escalation trump policy platforms and actual records of politicans and Political parties.
The BJP is supposed to be the epitome of communal hate politics and anybody in opposition to it automatically gets the label of secular.

The relation between the Indian state & minorities is almost the same now as it was then in 1987 or even earlier, in the 50s & the 60s. The same absence of trust, the same hatred, the same prejudices, the same notions, and the same requirement and attempt to

Unlike #HashimpuraMassacre,where the then Gzbd SP made sure that a just FIR was lodged against the PAC men….law enforcement agencies were careful in registering a weak case in #MaliyanaMassacare
That is why justice remains suspended for the dead, maimed and broken in Maliyana

Years after the 1987 #HashimpuraMassacre and #MalianaMassacre
Not much has changed for the survivors and the relatives of the people killed. The wounds are still fresh, the quest for justice is still an ongoing ordeal and they no more trust men in khakis
It took them precisely 2 hours to complete the task they had assigned themselves. At the end of those two hours, nothing stirred in #MalianaMassacre as people sat huddled together, gripped by fear as the stench of smoke and human bodies rose about them.

Those who ran out to escape the inferno were showered with gunfire by PAC men positioned on rooftops. Scores fell to the bullets.”

It is hard to tell if Macron is genuinely sorry for the hurt and pain he has caused the world’s Muslims, or is simply more concerned about the potential havoc that a boycott of all things French will have on his country’s economy and his own chances of being re-elected.
Crisis actually began two weeks earlier before Samuel Paty murder when Macron announced a new set of laws “against separatisms”, which focused solely on policing and controlling Muslim communities in France.

Macron is viewed by the poor as a president of the wealthy elite.
However, if Macron is serious about apologising to the Muslim world, he needs to repair the damage that his petulant whirlwind has caused in his own back yard, and quickly.

First he needs to assure the world that no French publication will re-publish the vile cartoons of

This is the message from Ms Mary (Sophie Pétronin) to French President Macron:

Mr. Macron, peace be upon him who follows the path of guidance…
I learned that you were amazed at how Sophie Petronin, a purebred white French Catholic, converted to Islam, after 75 years of
Christianity and during 4 years of captivity among Muslims! Let me simplify things for you

Mr. Macron!

Yes, I was a prisoner of the Muslims.
However, they never abused me, and their whole relationship with me was filled with respect and esteem. They provided me with food and
drink, and even, despite the scarcity of resources, gave me an advantage over themselves, respecting my privacy to the very end.

No one has ever exposed me to verbal or physical harassment, nor insulted my religion, neither Jesus nor the Virgin Mary, peace be with them,
