India's BJP Pushes Divisive Laws Amid Public Apathy
The article discusses how the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in India is pushing laws that target religious minorities, especially Muslims.
These laws include banning marriages between Hindus and Muslims, criminalizing beef possession, and making it harder for Muslims to buy property.
The author argues that while the BJP has the intent and power to implement these laws, the majority of Indians are apathetic and do not resist.
This apathy allows the BJP to continue passing and enforcing these divisive laws without significant opposition.
The author warns that this trend will likely continue into the new year, with more laws targeting minorities and little resistance from the public.
The BJP is implementing laws that target religious minorities, particularly Muslims, including bans on interfaith marriages.
These laws have been passed in multiple states, with Rajasthan becoming the eighth state to ban Hindu-Muslim marriages in 2025.
The laws are designed to restrict the rights of Muslims and other minorities, with little opposition from the public or institutions like the courts.
The author compares these laws to those passed by Nazi Germany in 1935, which banned marriages between Jews and Christians.
The article warns that the BJP's intent to implement its ideological agenda will continue to be met with public apathy, leading to more divisive laws in the future.
