Re: Are Shia muslims safer in Pakistan or in india?
Aye! I never said that “it was all hunky dory” in India, if you read my reply carefully you can see that I had said that there was discrimination but like any other country it takes time to sort through the problems and come up with viable solutions where the Muslim community itself should be trying to improve its situation.
The reason I was saying that Pakistan should be a lot higher in terms of literacy was because you were bragging about how Muslims enjoy so many rights and it’s a heaven for them and to that I replied that the literacy rate should not be nearly as low as 40% range because there was nothing standing in their way in terms of discrimination, like you said.
Plus if you compare each individual state in India to that of Pakistan, the literacy rates of muslims is a lot higher than 40% in each state(except Bihar and Haryana which aren’t doing too well overall(both Hindus and Muslims) and Muslims actually have a higher literacy rate than Hindus in a couple states.http://india_resource.tripod.com/religion-demographics.html
Anyway, my point is that both countries have obstacles right now and you won’t find me complaining and saying negative things about India because hopefully India will sort all these religious issues out one day and progress even more.
You had actually mentioned before that Muslims/minorities in places like US/UK don’t go through discrimination like Muslims do in India. So I was replying to that with what i said(please reread what I said).
