What's the actual cause of the BJP's rise? People like this author, the Indian National Congress, and other parties who pander to minorities for the sake of votes while ignoring or criticizing Hindus.
For eg. Hindu temples and other Hindu religious institutions are largely controlled by government departments—and many are in a neglected, dilapidated state.. as the government makes money out of it rather than spending them for the temples—while minority communities manage their own institutions independently.
That's just one reason. If other parties support minorities, why can't the majority have a party that supports them too?
There's no point in shedding crocodile tears over this.
