Secularism, as practiced in India, is nothing but naked minority, particularly Muslim, appeasement. It is dog whistle to confine Hindus to second class status in India. BJP/RSS is coming in the way of this woke project.
Contrary to the popular belief that there is this fear in minority so they must be protected, the opposite is true: the majority must be kept fearless and calm. This misconception of protecting minority is present not just in India but across the world, and throughout all times.
The fear in the minds of majority is prior to that of minority, always and everywhere. The fear always first develops in the minds of majority that they might lose their dominance, identity, culture, wealth etc. And in a stable society, the minority usually have nothing much to lose as in most cases they already develop some kind of mutual acceptance and even agreement to some authority of the majority. This keeps the society balanced and caring. But, due of some political or economic changing conditions, this natural balance gets disturbed. Doubts and fear start building and remain latent in the minds of the majority, and if remain unaddressed or aggravated for some ulterior political motives, it starts getting manifested in various forms, which in turn usually perceived by the minority as oppression and then they get frightened (secondary fear).
So to restore the delicate balance the primary fear (fear in the minds of the majority) must be mitigated first. But usually, the opposite happens, the govt starts favouring (protecting) the minority, without dealing with the primary cause, which only increases the fear, and then anger, within the majority and the situation gets out of hand. Sometimes it is done intentionally, with both sides, to achieve some political ends.
