Why so much of minority appeasement in India at the expense of Hindu majority. It is a curse to be born as a Hindu. Is the purpose of our existence solely to molly-coddle and fulfill various demands of the muslims? Should't the government be concerned about the poor in all communities, instead of the just minority communities?
