A Brahmin student being called a 'Pakistani' by Modi Bhakts shocked and rightfully hurt many people across ideological lines, including several from the Right Wing itself. Because suddenly, people realised how dehumanising that label is.
But for years now, countless Indian Muslims especially those who speak up or question the government or criticise the PM are casually branded 'Pakistanis' or 'Bangladeshis' or a 'Rohingya'.
Our loyalty is questioned, our identity is regularly mocked, our citizenship treated as conditional.
And the society has normalised it so much that most people don’t even react anymore.
An insult that rightfully outraged people when used against a Brahmin student is thrown at Muslims every single day without guilt or an outrage, or without any consequences. No Indian should have to constantly prove they belong to their own country.
All thanks to the Media and the Politicians for Normalising this Hate against Indian Muslims.
