Re: Are Shia muslims safer in Pakistan or in india?
OH PLEASE.
One of the hottest topics being discussed in the 'rational' & 'intellectual' Indian Supreme Court & Parliament right now is weather a natural causeway connecting Sri Lanka and India was built by an army of monkeys under Rama's command, and you have the audacity to accuse the Muslim population of being unscientific?!?!?
Well I can accuse you, because you didnt come up with any numbers to prove otherwise. Ur comments on ram sethu is below belt. It has nothing to do with the discussion that we are having here.
Again, what are you talking about?
Have you heard of the scheduled caste system? Basically, all the backwards elements of Hindu society are ensured adequate representation in government, and educational institutions through a quota system...something Muslims have been denied on a federal level. So Muslims should 'look inwards' and pull themselves up by their bootstraps (all while being considered terrorists and ISI agents by the common public), but Chamars and Untouchables should get government handouts. Brilliant.
Do u know why quota system was implemented? It was because thousands of years of mistreatment that low caste hindus were subjected to by the upper class hindus. When was muslims subjected to such discrimination. On the contrary they were ruling major part of the country for 400 years. Genious u r!
Its simple socioeconomics actually.
British Pakistanis come from poorer backgrounds...most of them came from Azad Kashmir to do unskilled labor in the UK. And Indian Muslims also do well in the UK, so its not an issue of the inherent stupidity and ignorance of Muslims as you seem to believe.
Really then why does the second and third generation pakistanies doing the same. Besides if I take ur argument then I could use it in favour of people in India as well. Its not a hidden fact that more wealthy Indians migrated to pakistan in partition leaving the poor behind.
So one or two token ministers should be able to reform the entire system?
Its not just one token minister. They have usually have 4. They usually have 16-20 MLAs when Congress with IUML comes to power in Kerala. But what matters is consistancy. They invariably win and they invariably become ministers. And educational portfolio is theres for the taking. What did they do with it is the question. If you know a bit of kerala u would know what I am talking about.
We didnt say that muslims are well off in India. But atleast there is oppertunity for them to live their life they want. U bring up few examples of places where discrimination exist as a result general enemity between hindus and muslims, and paint that as a true representation of whole of India is very childish.
