I don't think I've lived in an Muslim-discrimnation-free bubble; I've grown up in the Middle East, and if there's one place you'll hear about antiMuslim going-ons, it's there. And from my position, Muslims in India have it pretty fucking good. In what world can people like this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asaduddin_Owaisi get away with being spewing divisive bullshit, and then call for action against Muslim discrimination and for reservations for Muslims? Muslims have their own penal code! Up until the BJP rule, legislation was in favour of Muslims, at the expense of togetherness of society. In India Muslims have a pretty powerful political position given the fact that they are a minority. I somehow am disinclined to believe that the author suffered any actual discrimination given the political clime in India. |

No.
All Indians follow the same Criminal, Contract, Labor, Company, Tort, Property and Tax laws.
The only exception is Personal law (marriage, inheritance, adoption etc) where for historical reasons there were separate laws for Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists etc. These laws were codified in British India when the British came to control directly or by proxy a diverse population with diverse religions, languages and culture.
When India became an independent country, the framers of the constitution had many issues decide on in a short time and decided to punt on some contentious issues for later generations to resolve. One of them was personal law where they agreed that a uniform personal code would be desirable but left it to future generations to resolve. The other was a common national language.
Both have not been resolved. There is no uniform personal law and Hindi is not the national language.
