FILE - In this Sunday, Nov. 10, 2019, file photo, Muslims read about the verdict in a decades-old land title dispute between Muslims and Hindus in a newspaper in Ayodhya, India. India’s largest Muslim political groups are divided over how to respond to a recent Supreme Court ruling that favors Hindus’ right to a disputed site 27 years after Hindu nationalist mobs tore down a 16th-century mosque there, unleashing torrents of religious-motivated violence.
“We are pushed against the wall,” said Irfan Aziz, a political science student at Jamia Millia Islamia university in New Delhi. “No one speaks about us, not even our own.” Modi’s party won an outright majority in India’s lower house in 2014, the biggest win for a single party in 30 years. The BJP won even more seats in elections last May.
Muslims in India have often rallied around secular parties. However, after Modi won his first term in 2014, religious politics took hold. The BJP’s rise has been marked by the electoral marginalization of Muslims, with their representation in democratic institutions gradually falling.
Religion is so stupid.
Either the writer is ignorant or biased either way it makes for bad journalism
AP neglects Islamic actions in India. Islam was and is spread by the sword. Muslim countries reject & persecute other religions. ISIS, Taliban, Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, al-Qaeda & other Muslim spin-offs are vile and responsible for the death of thousands.
Inuit !!!
When will people who claim value of freedom of choice, association, religion, etc going to stop questioning people in terms of religion? It is a poor reflection of one's integrity - suggest new form of political organisation.
Remember when they build a mosque over the Jewish temple in Jerusalem?
It's quite impressive that it goes as far as to the courts. In muslim dominated countries, you can forget about having even the pretense of fairness.
Hindu nationalists mobs... Wow. You actually printed that
O muelims, defend yourselves against these dirty people..
This incendiary headline conveniently edits out the fact that a Hindu temple was demolished in order to build that mosque & the Hindus have been protesting ever since. The ruling was based on historical & archeological evidence from the site. Stop calling yourselves journalists.
16 century mosque which was built on birthplace of Hindu lord Rama by 3rd generation of genghis khan islamic invader babur .. it's like building Hindu temple by destroying mecca or vatican
Who cares.... Irradiate ALL religious sites.....
How many places have Muslims torn down over the years?
Multicultarlism is a failure.
Sa c’est très bon les indiens
