If you believe in democracy and have the skill set to do the deed, please give this a go. I believe this is a non internet connected device. For the recent state elections, voting happened months before the results were announced. Even exit polls were deemed a criminal activity. The machines were sitting with "officials" in a "lockdown" for months till they were counted. You have to prove that you could somehow alter the count when you have the machine for 1-2 months while also having any cryptographic keys necessary in your procession. One current chief minister(The elected leader in state) and 3 former chief ministers suspect the elections were rigged in Uttar Pradesh, a state with 220 million population with 20% Muslim population and the election installed a right wing Islamophobic leader who could be the leader when another Gujarat style riot happens(2000 Muslims and 800 Hindus got killed while our current prime minister was the chief minister there. He was cleared of all wrong doing by supreme court as no proof existed of direct collusion. Some call this a genocide.)

For starters, the newly minted Uttar Pradesh government installed a Anti Romeo squad to prevent what's called "Love Jihad", roving gangs of young muslim men trying to get Hindu girls to marry in a sinister plot to increase the Muslim population. As per Indian constitution, you can have 4 legal wives if you are Muslim and divorce anyone with three utterances of the word "talaq". Uttar Pradesh government also has an anti beef squad to prevent killing of holy cows. Recently 4 men transporting cattle in a vehicle were apprehended and assaulted. One of them died because of the heavy beating he received. These "squads" are employed by state in a quasi legal manner. There's also talks of reviving a demand to build a Hindu temple on Babri Masjid, a 14'th century mosque that was demolished in 90s by the current constituents of government causing nation wide riots. The mosque was demolished as vengeance for an alleged demolition of an early Hindu temple on the same area during the time of the first Muslim emperor in India in 14th century.

  Babur is not first Muslim ruler, first battle of panipat was 1527 (or near that year), he fought against Delhi Sultanate, which is already Muslim. Babur was king of Fergana Valley, and half-turkic and half-mongol, who lost his kingdom because of logistic blunder and was invited to India by a Prince and thus started his campaign in South Asia. He did destroy a Temple (which already survived about 5 centuries of Islamic rulers) and built the mosque, the mosque was not being used since 1949 or so, and Hindus were praying on the grounds since mid-80s.

    He was certainly the first Muslim ruler to be termed an 'emperor' by historians, so I'm not sure what you're arguing.

      If you want to say, Babur was first Muslim Emperor of India, bring the argument with references. Tuglak had bigger Empire than Babur, and he was well into Deccan and even moved the capital there. This was 200 years before Babur. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_bin_Tughluq https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_bin_Tughluq I am not arguing here, I am correcting mis-representations made in his comment.
