Has there been any discrimination against minorities in India according to PM Modi

PM Modi says that democracy is in our veins and there has been no discrimination against minorities in India, is it true?
It would not be accurate to state that there has been no discrimination against minorities in India. While it is true that India is a democracy and upholds the principles of equality and secularism, the reality is that minority groups have faced discrimination in various forms. Here are some key points to consider:
  • There have been incidents of communal violence against minority groups, most notably in the form of riots and mob attacks.
  • Minority groups have faced discrimination in access to education and employment opportunities, as well as in political representation.
  • The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) passed by the Modi government has been criticized for allegedly discriminating against Muslims, and there have been protests and demonstrations against it across the country.
  • Some also argue that the government's agenda of promoting a Hindu nationalist ideology has created a hostile environment for minority communities.
While it is important to acknowledge the strides India has made towards building a more inclusive society, it is also crucial to recognize the areas where more work needs to be done to address systemic discrimination and inequality.
