This latest disgusting attack on Muslims barely making a living by the sanghis is yet another example of them explicitly following the 1930s Nazi playbook. The Nazis went after Jewish businesses exactly like this.

If US RW said this about motels in the US, they'd lose it.

It's like sanghis WANT to provoke Indian Muslims to such an extent that there is a widespread armed resistance from them, and then sanghis could use that perpetual civil war as an excuse to rule forever. Like seriously, every week, a new attack on Indian Muslims!

The idea that Muslims in India have any kind of special status or perk or advantage or monopoly or that they have been "appeased" is so ridiculously and extremely the opposite of reality, that only a fascist sanghi bigot could take it seriously. Ignoring facts for hate.

There are more Muslims in the Indian subcontinent than there are people in USA and Russia combined. There is no possible "Akhand Hindu Bharat" endgame even theoretically other than mass genocide that would make Hitler look like a rookie. So don't feed the bigotry please.

Shakespeare said it best
"If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that."

Imagine if a venture capitalist in the US tweeted this

"Have you noted the monopoly of a certain community in the motel market?

We are ideating on a business model to tackle this with some political leaders."

Sanghis would have the MEA question the state department.

And what business monopoly are they going after? Petroleum? Diamonds? Steel? No! Selling vegetables! Like Muslims selling vegetables in India are feasting on caviar every night! They barely make a living, if that! And this "venture capitalist" wants to tackle them, of all!

Anti-Muslim bigotry has always existed in India but this current government is institutionalizing it.

A common thread in the worldwide experiment in democratic republics has been that the state tries to act as a protector of minorities against the natural majoritarian impulses. The Modi govt is the first major post-WWII democratic republic to actively target a minority group.

It's kinda Democracy 101 that minorities are indeed "special" in any democratic republic and deserve "special" protections because otherwise, the majority would just run roughshod over everyone. And that's not democracy or republicanism (small r). That's straight up fascism.

The Modi govt and the state govts allied with it are actively writing laws to hack away at minority rights in the country. And spreading a narrative that actively encourages economic retribution against minorities. Like Nazi Germany or the American Jim crow years.
