It's much like how Trump was elected.
If you think that majority of Indians were ever secular, I think that you never left the bubble of upper middle class, city based society.
Hindus are, generally much more advanced than Muslim in terms of education, finances, etc. and couldn’t be bothered to cause communal violence because they have much more to lose. And the ones that are left behind, didn't have a uniting force. BJP/RSS has accomplished that.
The people lynching Muslim for eating beef are very rural, very uneducated Hindus with much less to lose. And the rest of them openly support them.
I will say, 80-95% of Hindus were never ever secular. BJP is creating new zealots now, but they didn't need to do so to come to power.
And in these cases, a high powered officer, like the SP/DSP calls out for every lady police officers in all local police station to be present.
It doesn't need to be a "all female squad".
He was salaried scientist in DRDO.
Moreover he kowtowed to every religious authority imaginable. He is so famous among majority Indians is because he frequently visited Hindu temples, Jain monks- despite being a Muslim.
I don't like this man for being so religious.
And just like the current ISRO chairman, he also said that we must research Atharva Vedas to learn more about modern science, aviation, etc. [0]
So, whom you call a great scientist, was only a salaryman of DRDO with nauseating pantheism.
