Why are Muslims treated less favourably in terms of share?


Three or four Muslim ministers with significant ministries served in the Union cabinet following independence. During Nehru's administration, zakir hussain was appointed Vice President. Hussain also took over as President of india upon the passing of Nehru. Barkatullah Khan became the chief minister of rajasthan and Abdul Ghafoor became the chief minister of bihar during the reign of Indira. A share in the Atal Bihari cabinet of the bjp was also granted to Muslims. APJ Abdul Kalam azad was the presidential nominee of the Atal government in 2002.

In this case, the key query is what has changed given that Muslims' percentage of the population holding political power has been steadily declining. Atif Rashid, a bjp leader and former vice chairman of the Minority Commission, claims that voting is the means of achieving political involvement. The program is supported under the motto Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas.

Rashid claims that the plan was put into action following the formation of the government. No bjp government has ever implemented a program like this, with advantages exclusive to Muslims. Alternatively, Muslims data-face discrimination when it comes to any program's advantages.

According to Atif Rashid, there are two primary causes for the lack of participation.

Based on the information available to us, 99.9% of bjp voters are Hindus. Muslims vote in order to overthrow the BJP. In other words, Muslims vote to overthrow the BJP. Why would the bjp, in such a scenario, give Muslims ministerial positions and run the danger of upsetting Hindus?

Muslims have been living under a false impression for the past 70 years—that they choose the government—while the truth is quite different. Muslims and Hindus have historically formed governments together because they have mutual interests. Should the bjp provide tickets to Muslims, then the Muslim candidate will be defeated by the collective. As a result, the party ceased to distribute tickets.
