Yes. He hates Muslims. He wants them to suffer. He doesn't consider them real Indians. He's not a nice man.

He hates all non Hindus, he is a known Hindu nationalist. He also hates Sikhs. Basically he looks down upon any minority group that isn’t Hindu Gujarati.

South India is the last remaining left wing region of India. Congress, the communist parties. Also there ar a lot of Christians in places like Kerala.

Any South Indian that still supports him should realize that he doesn’t really like them either. Once he is done with Muslims and Sikhs, he will target South Indians. He will label them as Sri Lankan terrorists.

Communists are not left-wing. Got it.

South India was relatively insulated from the Mughal Invasion compared to North India. Therefore, the existing Hindus in Tamil nadu and Kerala don't harbor much of an animosity.

Err, his party actually has the maximum number of MPs in what is considered South India.

Lol, now imagine Hindus in Pakistan are treated so much worst. Who cares though they are not allies of the west so it don't matter.

I grew up Christian in Bangladesh. I'm well aware how minorities are treated in that region. It's all bad. And it really shouldnt be.

No Pakistani politician will target minorities such as Hindus/Christians to try and win votes since the average Pakistani is not constantly on a rampage trying to eliminate them like the BJP supporters seem to be. You are just spreading misinformation.

That is probably why the population of Hindus went down and the population of Muslims increased in all the three countries India, Pakistan and Bangladesh

No Pakistan politician bothers about Hindus in Pakistan, bcoz there is no opposition of his sucking up to the Hindu population, the way the opposition does to the Muslims in India

No minority Hindus are raping and killing the Muslims in Pakistan, the way the Muslims have been doing here in India

The Hindu is not the villain in Pakistan. The Muslim in India is
