Who benefits from Hindu-Muslim violence?

Liberals tell you Hindus do.

Here are 8 reasons why they are wrong

A thread #RamNavamiViolence 1/9

1. Moderate Muslims benefit - by lowering the normal behavioral standards of their community, "moderate Muslims" appear moderate and get rewarded for the most basic social decency. 2/9

2. "LIberal" parties benefit - for the last 100+ years, Muslims have voted en masse. Their votes get more polarised than Hindu votes. Hindu votes remain relatively divided. So parties that depend on Muslim en masse voting benefit from violence. 3/9

3. Hardline Muslims benefit - Muslims listen to community leaders, often militant and communal who must keep their voters dependent. Getting them involved in violence is a way to control them. 4/9

4. Foreign powers benefit - many foreign powers seem intent on hurting India in every sphere, especially economically. Violence serves their purpose and creates an impression Modi failed. 5/9

5. Islamists benefit - the doctrine of Islam says India is dar-al-harb, a place of war. This may be why vandalising public property comes easy to some Islamists. For Hindus India is holy and destroying Indian property feels like a personal loss. 6/9

6. Hinduphobes benefit - violence directed at Hindu festivals fits into the global hinduphobic ecosystem's plan to discredit every Hindu practice & festival using every tactic. If you don't go to "their area", they will attack you in your area. 7/9

7. Ghettos ensure Muslims benefit - Muslims are often a majority where violence happens. Violence ensures Hindus are displaced (just check news), property is sold cheap and ghettos expand. 8/9

8. Muslim ideologues benefit - Muslim ideologues have maintained for over a century that Hindu & Muslim are two different nations. Hindus have rejected such ideas. Violence is seen as an endorsement of two nation theory. END.

While most of you took this in the right spirit, some saying I'm suggesting BJP doesn't benefit from vote polarisation. No, I'm exploring if only BJP benefits then why most riots start Friday afternoon? Why H festivals attacked in BD & Pak where there is no BJP? Full picture.
