Interreligious marriage is a very tiny fraction of indian marriages, and actually works in both directions. This concern is a recently invented bogey man that has no basis in reality. The real demographic challenge for India is the backward northern states reproducing at a rate higher than the progressive southern states. However, there is absolutely no media focus on this issue. It is hilarious to watch north Indian hindus bully some Muslim from kerala (pakistani, child producing machines, Somali etc), when north Indian Hindus have a much higher fertility than them.

Attar is a fragrance, that several Hindus also use. Maybe you should check if the person applying it is hindu or Muslim before generalizing .

The so called super spreader event was organized before the lockdown, at about the same time as modi Trump rally involving more than 100K people. Instead of locking down the mosque, the administration forced everyone out of the mosque to help spread covid outside the mosque all over India! The media is absolutely silent about various hindu temple superspreader events being held such as the khumbu mela. Nobody is clutching their pearls.

The land owning muslims moved to Pakistan and the Indian muslims primarily occupy a lower socio economic class. The so called appeasement that one hears about all the time is never actually spelt out in clear detail. It is taken as an article of faith. Congress appeasement of Hindus, such as in the case of ram mandir or hindu joint family tax exemptions are conveniently ignored.

Yes indeed, Modi is a smarter version of Trump.

Seconding the statement that attar/itar is a traditionally made fragrance, usually essential oils from various sources. Before perfume and deo industries penetrated the Indian market they were used universally by those who could afford it - they are and were quite expensive.

Displeasure with attar is just a thinly veiled feelings of hatred towards members of another religion.

No hate / disrespect intended. When there are many Muslim citizens in public transport etc.. the smell is pretty strong and intolerable. Not so much in urban areas but many times in rural areas. That said we both love in different places of India so have different exposures to reality. And I don't like bajrang dal stuff / loud music during festivals either. I was just explaining the parent commenter the general attitude towards muslims.

Indeed. I was just explaining general attitude against muslims.

My apologies then. I too misunderstood
