These things don't happen in a vacuum, BI. People listened to these politicians because prior politicians made a mess of things. You think if India was a happy, equal place with plenty of jobs and low crime and no religious bigotry, Modi would've stood a chance?
Yes, problems did start from independence. Everyone else was mandated to be monogamous, but constitution allowed 4 wives for Muslim men. Triple talaaq was legal. Many other things.
The Congress did this to keep Indian Muslims happy.
And *I* am old enough to remember the Bombay riots and so on and so forth. So things weren't as hunky dory as a child would imagine. India was no utopia at the time which was ruined by BJP.
I don't agree with an apartheid constitution and Hindu rashtra. But secularism should include all people.
