My extended family whatsapp groups have blown up with messages around congress win in Karnataka and what it means for Hindus and Brahmins in the state. Disappointingly its a whole new slew of Muslim hate and how Karnataka is on path to be Islamified. Even non-issues like Burqa in schools are now things that Muslims are doing actively to take over Karnataka. Its just so disappointing. I am not giving Congress a clean chit here – their entire campaigning in state was around reservations for everyone and anyone (including paying hard cash monthly to people), and advancing casteist policies, but I am more disappointed for the family that they should know better.
