I think increasingly the divide in India is less along religious lines and more along economic lines, muslims who obtained good education or are financially successful with their commercial ventures in general have a different experience than those who are poor. A large number of muslims are poor. A case could be made of prejudice in education and jobs, and there probably are stats to prove it, but some of it is historical going back to colonial era when a large number of muslims did not keep up with science etc, prompting people like Sir Syed to try and build a case for modern education. I have muslims friends and family in India and they appear to be doing well and are happy.
As I said many times here,my dearest and closest friend is a Muslim and I have never experienced any kind of resentiment in him towards treating of Muslims.
All other Muslim bashing theories ,except a handful of incidents,are simply `Made in Pindi’ stories.
Stop trying to be funny. And STOP giving comments when you have no idea about what happened. He didnt pass comments on 26/11 on his own, he was asked to comment on it. And it was only part of the whole interview. AND maybe you also need to know that he condemened the attacks and said the same things about it when it happened also. I can post youtube’s link if you are interested. So stop with yr accusations and he’s SALMAN KHAN, doesnt need to give such comments to gain publicity.
Says who? Are you ALLAH for you to be making such judgements?!. Get out of the thread if you dont have anything constructive to say.
Please understand that the reaction would have been the same, if this comment was made by anybody. 26/11 is a sensitive issue and rightly so. The nation was held to ransom by a bunch of idiots and it is sad that people make off the cuff remarks about this issue.
I understand its a very sensitive issue but what insensitive thing did he say to cause this reaction? Just cuz he presented a logical and unbiased opinion on it?!
It is unfortunate that even educated Indian Muslims like you subscribe to such a fundamentalist mindset. If we were to follow your sage advice there would never be communal harmony between Hindus and Muslims of India.
But I guess this shouldn’t bother you much coz you are no longer living in India and feel more Pakistani than Indian. Right ?
he seriously should stick to acting/dancing instead of making such strong political statements with absolutely no emotions felt for those families that had loved ones that died.
i think what he should’ve said was that most of the Pakistan PEOPLE had no role in Mumbai attacks
the pakistani gov and agencies and the Indian security played a major role especially when there were several warnings given to the indian security/gov that something like this might take place.
a) there are no large muslim majority areas in any of these countries, as there were in India
b) there is no history of periodic, mass scale communal massacres as there exists in India pre and post partition. The Muslims simply arent as hunted anywhere in those countries, relative to India.
True, but Muslims have never lived in those countries in first place. Spain was the only Western country where Muslims had lived. Don’t forget their ethnic cleansing. In Pakistan, Sudan, and perhaps China more Muslims are hunted than in India
not really. doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out who will suffer more in communal riots… a smaller, economically impoverished class or a wealthy class of which most of the ruling elite is formed.
gujrat is only the most recent manifestation of typical indian historical tendencies.
the first two being Muslim countries are hardly related to the topic. The third is a valid comparison to India, however its probable that the discrimination there is more ethnic than religious, and furthermore the violence is committed by the state as opposed to ordinary citizens.
I agree, if i was Indian i would be furious on the no.1 point. No.2 have to proven, or if you already made your mind that’s a different story then.
No.3 India have terrorists and terrorists party, the shining of economy can hide it but for how long? Just today, Indian Security forces fire on the crowd in Kashmir and killed 24 people. Now were they terrorists ? Your answer will define your mental capacity to understand what is happening in your country and around it.
It was you, who introduced this theory to this topic.
History of India did not start in 1947 or when muslim rule in India ended. Yar if you dont know the kaali kartoots of muslim invaders, then its fine. Lets not discuss that, but gujrat riots were started when muslim mob burnt alive
20 non muslim children, 15 non muslim women and 23 non muslim men in the train.
Was this manifestation of typical muslim historical tendencies?
No matter how much we deny it, we did it. Accept it.
Or you are one of those who believes “Ek musalman aisa nahin kar sakta”…this is the favourite statement of every pakistani these days.
Gujrat muslims are doing pretty well, Bohra muslims are doing good dhandha.
and i thought there was some major trouble aginst muslims in india.
