Sorry, but I’m just calling it like it appears to me. Implementing sharia banking is dhimmitude. It’s going on in the USA, it’s going on in Britain, and of course now India; but it does not placate Muslims in the least, but emboldens them.
A vast majority of the Muslims in India are poor and to transfer the benefits due to them they need a bank account. So, while I am generally against what I see as appeasement of the so-called minorities (all 190 million of them), I actually think this is a good move. Bringing the poor into the mainstream and at the same time throttling the corruption going on in their name, is the way to go.
I disagree with Sukhoi only on the topic of Modi. His statement that Modi has not reached out to Muslims is the usual pseudo-secularist lament. The fact is, Modi reaches out to no one community in particular. Which is as it should be.
