Hinduism, being a highly pluralistic and decentralized religion, consists of a wide variety of practices, sects, languages, and regional identities. This inherent diversity can sometimes create divisions based on caste, regionalism, or political ideologies. Political parties have historically used caste and regional differences to create vote banks, which may contribute to the perception of Hindu disunity. While Hindus form the majority in india (around 80%), their internal differences in caste, class, and regional identities can create fragmented voting patterns.
Muslims make up around 14% of India’s population and have been an integral part of the country’s history, culture, and politics for centuries. The perception of Muslim "dominance" might stem from political narratives that highlight certain issues disproportionately, like debates around personal laws, religious conversions, or demographic fears. However, Muslims remain a minority, often marginalized in economic and political spheres. The below ad has created a huge controversy as they say india will be declared as Islamic republic in 2050 and we wonder how these ads are being broadcasted in Kerala
In recent times, political parties have used religious identities to polarize communities for electoral gains. This creates a perception of one group gaining "dominance" over another, although the reality is more complex, involving issues of governance, socio-economic disparities, and identity politics.
