The likes of Vidya Balan - and there are many with similar world of view of ‘we did not have a religious identity before or were so polarised’. Seen such in advertising agencies. They have convinced themselves that it was all communal harmony earlier and things changed in 2014. It’s not as if they’d be unaware of partition, numerous riots, how Pandits were made to flee from Kashmir, the demographic changes in border districts & parts of Kerala, TN & AP, 26/11 Mumbai attack - so much more. They refuse to see the problem in the eye. At the core is their own lack of ‘connect’ with Hindu faith, having been deracinated through education and influence of popular culture. They get all reverential with faith of minorities and call for respectful treatment (which is right) but would deny the same to a practicing Hindu. Someone keeping roza or lent would be respected but Ekadasi fasting will be mocked or labelled regressive, a bhakt or bigot. On polarisation I will admit that the rise of social media and more access to extreme view points (which were always there) through various platforms 24x7 makes it appear that this is a new found thing, different from the land of milk & honey prior to 2014.
