Majoritarianism is not nationalism

Starting with the word Majoritarianism which reflects about the society in which a group or a community in majority will rule and set their own supremacy . A renowned historian of ancient India professor of JNU Romila Thapar in her live online lecture said , " Nationalism is the reflection of how people in a society think about their collective self . The collective means that everyone that constitutes the nation should be included as equal citizens . But when nationalism is defined by a single identity , which can either be language or religion or even ethnicity , then nationalism gets derailed into majoritarianism . And majoritarianism is not nationalism . " She further said that struggle for independence had an inclusive nationalism of Indians opposed to British rule. But apart from these thoughts many people and politicians became so blind in love for Hinduism that they are not ready to understand the meaning of Nationalism. Their blind love is teaching them about Hindutva ideology and killing the humanity in them .

If you see the data of non - secular states in terms of economy and national prosperity index what you will find is that the country which define themselves as a religion based country and not secular , is facing hundreds of problems every day . Very few Islamic countries which are blessed with lots of natural resources have better economy but as a whole it is worst for other non secular nations.

Indian media has also played a vital role in growing intolerance in our country. Indian Muslim is the largest minority in India which constitutes 14% of Indian population. This Indian media has spread the Islamophobia on the minds of Hindus just because of their massive reach to the people. From day to night , these media are conducting prime time debates calling Muslims anti-national and projecting them as backward and disloyal to India. When history of this time will be read , Indian media will be reasonable for the murder of democracy.
