I don’t think this new president is interested in imposing Hinduism. Obviously, neither he nor anybody else in the Hindu majority want Muslims to destroy their world, but I think he wants a society where people just live and do what they’re supposed to do, make India prosperous, and the Muslims can’t ruin it for everybody else.

That's it. And the Congress Party actually favored Moslems and was left leaning, and of course filled with corruption, so Modi seems to be a good choice.

I may be wrong, but I think the Hindus are far more likely to behave themselves toward Christians when they are power, than when they are out of power and feeling resentful.

There are still resentful memories of the British Raj and colonialism, but the real violence and hatred remains between the Hindus and their former Muslim conquerors.

I doubt if there will be more violence toward Christians under the new government. More likely, less violence.
