Analysis: How Mainstream Media operates as a Propaganda Tool 

So, if say someone is a religious Muslim that would mean he is regressive because he is a Muslim and he is harmful to others. Whereas it should be how any regressive element, like say triple talaq is harmful to him also. Religious reformation cannot be achieved if you are attacking the actors and not the system. It will demonize the community identifying with that religion and not the regressive elements of that religion.

This common enemy ‘Muslim’ is then used to divert the common man’s attention from real issues of governance like women’s safety, education, economy, health, environment, inflation, etc. And every time people are made to fear about getting outnumbered in the future by growing Muslim population and its imagined subsequent consequences – Jihad and religious conversions of Hindus.
