Re: Are Shia muslims safer in Pakistan or in india?
Great.
And as I pointed out above when someone else made a similar point, according to recent research less than 4% of Indian Muslim school children are educated at madarsas. Just because Indian society has stereotyped Muslims as shunning all things modern (perhaps to justify to justify the shoddy treatment it mets out to them), doesn't make it true.
I didnt say that they are educated in madrassas and hence became intellectually disadvantages. What I am saying is that leave religious books aside and start scientific learning. I wont go into " do not question faith" crap. But such disadvantage exist in lot of communities in India but they do something about it, rather than waite for a positive discrimination from Govt. Many communities took it upon themselves to change their future. Rather than giving a victimization speach, muslim as a community has to look inwerds. Why is that muslims all around the world in such disadvantageous position educationally. Why is being the second largest religion have a dis preportianate number of people being awarded a nobel prize.
You can see it in England where data is available for how much successfull indian children are compared to Pakistanies. Do u want numbers for that. It is some cultural and religius thing in muslims otherwise how do u explain the numbers.
Thank you for demonstrating for everyone here yet another reason why being a Muslim in India is a miserable existence. AMU is a perfectly fine university, where more than half of the students aren't even Muslim. But because it is associated with the Muslim population, Indians like yourself naturally assume that its associated with 'terrorism' and 'anti-national elements.' The fundamental assumption among you people is that anyone with a Muslim name must be a terrorist, or a closet-Pakistani....perhaps one of the reasons Christians are more successful in India is because they don't have to deal with these absurd stereotypes.
I do not have experience going into north India. I am from kerala and as u rightly said muslims are 20% percent of the population. We dont believe that they are pakistanies or whatever stanies. In Kerala for most part of history muslims always enjoyed a great degree of political success. IUML is a part of coalition of congress party and always the education minister is a muslim. So why still they are under represented.
The quote above is a good example of "victimization speach". All world is conspiring against the muslims and hence they are under represented.
Hindus and christians also have frictions and many have prejudice against each other, but why still they are more succesfull. Hindus could also blame christians (as some people do) that they are agents of the west and spys of US.
