About the “bjp takes Hindu votes and doesn’t work for hindus” line. What are Hindus actually voting for?
People I know who voted for BJP both in 2014 and 2019, some of them quite religious, all of them hindus, voted for development and corruption free society.
BJP gets only hindu votes because the abrahamics don’t vote for them. Not because the whole of the Hindu vote goes to them en bloc. Loads of difference. And the ones who do, do it for varied reasons.
The SM problems aren’t the problems on ground. Where everyday survival is paramount. This is not to say the criticism about a lot of Hindu related matters isn’t true. It’s just that your priorities & the priorities of the ordinary people don’t match.
You want Hindus to think and act like the abrahamics - not gonna happen any time soon. My very religious mother-in-law was extremely happy after the Ram Janmabhoomi verdict. But she voted BJP because in her words “they are good for our country”.
