APPEASEMENT KA SIDE EFFECTS

Some Muslims or their misguided sympathizers periodically raise the bogey of “What has the BJP done for Indian Muslims?” Well, few of these are:

1. BJP did not withdraw Muslim right to have 4 wives at a time. BJP did not withdraw Haj subsidy but even increased it.
2. BJP did not introduce the Shariat law of a Muslim thief's hands being cut off after being found guilty of stealing or stoning to death any Muslim found guilty of adultery.
3. BJP did not remove the right of Muslim men to instantly divorce their wives by saying talaq, talaq, talaq.
4. BJP did not remove the divisive Art 370 from Kashmir or introduce the Uniform Civil Code as enshrined in the Constitution of India.
5. The BJP did not do away with the State funding of madrassahs and payment of Imams salaries even though sedition is a part of the curriculum of many of these religious hate schools.

Imagine the tremendous loss to the Muslims' general wellbeing and health if the status quo of these rights were tampered with by the BJP. The problem is that when parents spoil a child by giving it any and everything it demands it gets into the bad habit of constantly being appeased or mollycoddled and the moment even a small scolding is given to it or something is not given to it for its own good, the spoilt brat throws a tantrum and begins to scream, throws a fit and rolls on the ground in order to emotionally blackmail the parents till they buckle under pressure and give in. The child being small and ignorant does not know what is good or bad for itself and if irresponsible parents who are too busy with their own enjoyments want to keep the child silent by constantly giving it what it thinks it wants, a time comes when the child grows up and blames its parents for all its maladjustment problems in society and conveniently overlooks that its parents were constantly appeasing it for buying family peace at any cost despite knowing fully well the bad consequences at a later date. The same blunder can and are being committed in regard to affected communities in India which prevents them from seamlessly joining the mainstream that results in ugly consequences not only for the society at large but also the maladjusted group concerned as well.
