The political parties in various nations have a tendency to make their preferred minority candidates win through loyal electorates which has high probability to elect them.

Ms Profilian is defining this trait for Profilian Project based on SS Ahluwalia as his case is the most prominent in this aspect.

SS Ahluwalia is a Sikh politician who is always fielded by the BJP from favorable seats and his victory is not ensured by his own charisma but rather the political wave in support of the BJP.

He was fielded from Darjeeling which historically has favored BJP due to its dispute with CPM and TMC who during their rule in Bengal had opposed the local demand for a separate province.

Ahluwalia was fielded from Asansol, another seat which was the most nationalist electorate in Bengal and since 2014 it had elected BJP twice. In 2024 the BJP thought that it would be victorious and safely fielded Ahluwalia from there and he badly lost to TMC, proving that it was never his charisma but the political wave.

Every political party in India does this minority appeasement. BJP does it for the Sikhs, and others- prominently Congress and its offshoots like TMC, NCP or its allies do that for the Muslims.

Muslim majority Kashmir and Sikh Majority Punjab has NEVER SEEN a Hindu Chief Minister.

These parties field non-Hindu candidates from Hindu majority areas but never dare to field Hindu candidates from Hindu-minority areas.

Kashmir has never elected a Hindu leader. Muslim blocks in India never elected a Hindu leader, they prefer Muslim parties first and then the self-acclaimed secular parties (actually invesrly communal). Sikh majority areas in Punjab never elect a Hindu leader.

As a matter of fact despite all Sikh appeasement by BJP, it has failed to win from Punjab even a single seat. Surprisingly it has selected two Sikhs in the cabinet and dejected Anurag Thakur from Himachal with the logic that it can't provide two cabinet ministers from the same state.

It is pertinent to mention that Manmohan Singh, a loser from his electorate who was badly defeated in his election and thus didn't even qualify to be the MP, was made the head of the state- the Prime Minister of India.
