This document poses a series of rhetorical questions comparing the treatment of religious minorities between India and other Muslim-majority countries. It argues that Hindus face more discrimination and challenges to practicing their faith than Muslims do in India, citing examples like the population decline of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh after partition. The document questions whether Hindus have equal rights and challenges the characterization of Hindus as fundamentalist. It advocates for equal treatment of all religions in India.
