Bihar's Delicate Balance: Muslim Appeasement and National Unity..!?
A growing concern in Bihar's Seemanchal region has sparked a heated debate about national unity and internal security. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), led by Lalu Yadav, has been accused of prioritizing Muslim appeasement over national interests. The region has witnessed a significant demographic shift, with a sharp rise in the Muslim population. This change has led to a surge in Muslim-majority constituencies, with districts like Kishanganj, Araria, Katihar, and Purnia being heavily influenced.
Critics argue that the RJD's appeasement policy is a threat to national unity, drawing parallels with bangladesh, where the Hindu population has declined drastically. Historian Gyanesh Kudasiya notes that the Hindu population in bangladesh decreased from 42% at the time of Partition to 7.95% by 2022. The situation in bihar raises important questions about the impact of vote-bank politics on national unity. Will the state's leadership prioritize national interests, or will they continue down a path that may have perilous consequences? The situation in bihar is a stark reminder of the dangers of vote-bank politics and its potential to destabilize national unity. The RJD's opposition to reforms like the citizenship amendment act (CAA) and its influence in disrupting Hindu religious events have further fueled apprehensions about the party's bias.
