This would’ve been a fun piece except it’s written by Hindus

Not exactly surprising for an Indian newspaper.

This bit was strange though:

M N Karassery ... says that people abandon Islam due to various factors ... especially women, he feels one big reason is the constraints imposed on them. “By making them cover their face, you are denying the social life of a woman,” he says.

The hijab is compulsory but vieling the face isn't.

I dont think anyone can blame them for that considering the violent history of Islam against other faiths in India.

Every faith in India has ridiculous histories of sectarian violence, don't let BJP propaganda fool you.
