BJP's Ideology and India's Apathy
The article discusses how the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in India is actively implementing its ideology, which targets minority groups, particularly Muslims and Christians.
The BJP has the support of a significant number of Indians and the power of the government.
The majority of Indians, however, are apathetic and do not resist these actions.
The article highlights several laws passed in recent years that restrict inter-faith marriages, criminalise beef possession, and discriminate against Muslims in various ways.
The author argues that intent (BJP's actions) will always win over apathy (the majority's inaction).
The article also mentions specific incidents of violence and discrimination, such as beef lynching and the exclusion of Muslims from power.
The author expresses concern that this trend will continue in the new year, 2026.
BJP's ideology aims to persecute and harm minority Indians, particularly Muslims and Christians.
Rajasthan became the eighth state to ban marriage between Hindus and Muslims in 2025.
Similar laws restricting inter-faith marriages have been passed in several other states since 2018.
Criminalisation of beef possession has led to violence and murders, with Gujarat passing a law making cattle slaughter punishable by life imprisonment.
The majority of Indians are apathetic and do not resist the BJP's actions, allowing intent to prevail.
