India's politics of minority appeasement

@Babuji

Your question seems more like a rhetorical one than an actual question. If you had any idea about Indian politics you wouldnt have been asking this question.

Majority Hindus do not vote enmasse for the same party - hardliners, liberals, Dalits etc. vote for different parties that suits their interests and a lot of middle class Indians do not vote because of the dirty politics.

So playing the minority card works best for political parties, since its easy to unify minorities by giving them special treatment vs. focussing on the majority which is politically divided & hence more effort but less reward.

Are you suggesting that majority of votes casted in Indian elections have been by Muslims?
