That depends upon the individual opinion.
True.
During the last UPA government, they undertook many measures to favor the Muslims and Christians. Two years ago, I happened to visit Southern India on a vacation. I was visiting a few beaches and resorts in the province of Kerala.
We could have meet or did we?
Kerala is one of the regions with a Hindu minority in India. According to the official census, Hindus are some 55% of the population. But in reality only 15% to 20% is Hindu, as the remaining has converted to other religions. These people input "Hindu" in census forms, only to obtain the quota benefits which are given to lower castes.
I don't think that is correct. If you went to southern part, Hindus are high. Sadly, I think some of them even have an election ID or any other. I don't know how you come up with that, maybe you visited places where Muslims or Christians are high?
I was there for a few weeks, and it was very clear that the (real) Hindus constituted an oppressed class, with the Christians dominating every sphere. There is some discrimination against the Muslims also, but they are mostly tolerated by the Christians. Even I got lucky in many places, due to my Christian-sounding name.
Are you talking about exceptional cases or in general? Generally, Hindus aren't oppressed caste. They have upper hand in most places.
And now comes the interesting part. The UPA government introduced "minority scholarships" for students from the Christian and Muslim communities, amounting to some $30 per month (which is a big amount in Kerala). The real minority (Hindus) is left with nothing.
Well, not really that bit atm. It is around ₹1,900. Most of the Muslims in Kerala belong to OBC and it has less advantage than SCs and STs. Especially, in universities, they give seats for people just because they are SCs or STs. I have found/seen many situations where overall rating of people from OBC were 90%+ and still they went to end/middle of waiting list and people from SCs and STs who got <60% or so gets seats.
NB: Some Hindus also belong to OBC. I didn't comment on Christians as I don't know about their cases much.
Another interesting scenario is from the province of UP, where the chief minister there promised to give $2,000 to every Muslim girl of marriageable age (only to Muslims, nothing for the Hindus). And also in the state of Bengal, there is a $100 per month stipend for Muslim clerics, while many of the Hindu priests are starving. Remember that all this is from tax payer money.
May I know the source please? AP Chief Minister has said that ₹2,000 crore will be allocated for the welfare of disabled persons in the state in the coming four years. I know people who aren't Muslims, who have said that treating Muslims are bad in central and some of the northern part of the country. It will be helpful if you can give me source.
During the UPA government, although Manmohan Sngh was the nominal head of the state, every single decision was taken by Sonia Maino, who is a Roman Catholic. She had a closed ring of associates, selected from the Roman Catholic community, who effectively ran the country (including Margaret Alva, AK Anthony, Oscar Fernandes, YSR Reddy.etc).
As I have said earlier, I don't know much about Christians. So I can't comment on this too but Sonia Gandhi did have biased decisions. She is Italian. So a "closed ring of associates from Roman Catholic community" is plausible.
With such blatant discrimination perpetrated by the UPA, how can you blame Modi for hidden plans? Did he introduced any such plans for Hindu students?
There are already plans for Hindu students. In many places, they have upper hand too. There are some plans which is silently taking place in some(/many) places which affects Muslims (and Christians)*. Many have accepted Hindu religion because of this. Even no peculiar news. Besides, Modi has a history of crimes and hence, has criminal charges. Yet, Modi is a free bird.
I don't think a sudden change in his heart to become good person and that too with more power & money is good.
Btw, what luck did you get in many places, due to your Christian-sounding name? Can you be specific(if possible)?
P.S. I appreciate your knowledge.
* I am not sure about Christians.
