Strategic Outreach

The Statesman

|

March 30, 2025

The BJP's latest engagement with Muslims through Ramadan goodwill kits ahead of Eid has sparked debate across political circles. While some see it as a welcome gesture of inclusivity, others view it as a calculated move before key elections.

The initiative, which involves distributing Eid kits to millions of underprivileged Muslim households, signals a shift in approach, but the larger question remains – what does this mean for the party's relationship with India's largest minority community? For years, the party has positioned itself against what it calls "appeasement politics," often criticizing rivals for symbolic gestures toward minorities.

The large-scale distribution of Eid hampers, complete with festive essentials, appears to contrast with that stance. However, this outreach is not an isolated event but part of a broader strategy. Over time, the party has engaged with Pasmanda Muslims, an economically and socially disadvantaged group within the community. It has fielded candidates from these groups in local elections, a move that would have been unthinkable a decade ago.

Fake Degree Factories

The mushroomingoffake institutions is not merely a failure of oversight; it is an indictment of the current regulatory framework. These entities often operate with sophisticated marketing, professional-looking websites and names that sound deceptively similar to established universities. They exploit legal loopholes by rebranding themselves as 'vocational institutes' or 'theological colleges' when cornered, only to resurface under a different guise elsewhere. This cycle offraud persists because the consequences for operating a fake university are remarkably light
