Lets say the argument is "What Islamist? How do you define Islamist?" one counter is to ask what they mean by calling BJP a Hindutva party. How do you define Hindutva? And since defining Hindutva is no easy task in itself, its kind of easy to followup with an == between BJP as Hindutva and INC as Islamist based on which vote-bank the parties seek to appeal to.
If you think you can popularize 'Islamo-Christianist' then that's fine, but if it turns out you need something more catchy Islamist is also defensible.
When I say Islamist, then I mean
- supported by Gulf money
- supportive of Islam's expansion in India - through
- geographic expansion;
- increased birth rate;
- migration of Bangladeshis and Pakis;
- consolidation of Muslim ghettos;
- consolidation of Mullah's control over the Muslim masses;
- elevation of Mullahs as the legitimate dialogue partners w.r.t. issues involving the Muslim community;
- tolerance of Muslim mafia, underworld and muscle;
- Appeasement of Kashmiri separatists and Pakistanis
- supportive of Islamic-British historical narrative at the cost Indian Civilizational history
However Congress can push back any labeling of it as "Islamist" because it can quote its historical role as opposition to Muslim League, its opposition to Two-Nation Theory, etc. This is all legacy and something that happened a long time ago, and under the guidance of more stalwarts than just the monopoly on power of Nehru-Gandhi dynasty!
The Congress trick is to portray the ideological fragmentation of Indian polity as something between "Secular" forces and "Hindutvavadis". Many other ideological platforms also are happy to play this game.
Because the Indian Muslims vote strategically, they know how to play the various parties and let the "Islamo-Christianist" Platform compete with other platforms for their votes - the Cultural Marxists (who are against only the majority culture), and the opportunist Jaati-conscious parties (who too are open to such alliances). That is how the Muslim vote bank ensures that ideologically there is an understanding between the various platforms on the national level, supportive of Islamic expansion in India.
And because there is this competition for Muslim votes, Bharatiyas get the impression that Congress is not per se "Islamo-Christianist", which also suits Congress, because it allows them to get the votes of others as well, as their true nature can thus be clouded and hidden.
The Macaulayites, the Yuppies, the Communist-minded, the Jaati-conscious common people all thus fooled to support the "Islamo-Christianist" agenda because of this deceptive label of "Secularism".
That is why it is important to speak out all the various platforms individually and to reject the existence of "Secular Platform"
. They won majority of seats in urban areas. Imagine they switch to BJP and if Guajarat, Rajasthan, Maharastra, MP and even 20-30 seats in UP switch to BJP.
