Keep in mind hes not the only one who has been denied housing just because of his faith.
A Bollywood actor has alleged he was refused a flat in an upmarket part of Mumbai because of his Muslim faith.
Emraan Hashmi says that a housing society in Pali hill, home to many Bollywood stars, blocked his purchase.
But a statement issued by the housing society says it has not taken any decision on whether to allow him to buy a flat in its apartment building.
Mr Hashmi says he has lodged a complaint with the Minorities Commission of Maharashtra.
He says the housing society in Pali hill refused to issue a certificate necessary to buy or rent a flat in Mumbai.
He has also demanded that the state government takes action against the housing society. Complaints
Mr Hashmi held a press conference on Friday in which he also said that housing societies in Mumbai are discriminating against Muslims.
Pali Hill is one of the most exclusive areas of Mumbai
"I had finalised a deal to buy a flat in Pali hill but the society refused to issue a No Objection Certificate because I am a Muslim," he said.
His uncle, the film-maker Mahesh Bhatt, said that it was important to highlight the issue because discrimination by housing societies against Muslims was widespread.
Last year another Bollywood actor, Zulfi Sayed, also alleged that he was denied a flat in a suburb of Mumbai because he was Muslim.
Mumbai’s suburbs are dotted with multi-storey apartment buildings - each of which is run by a housing society. They have a lot of power, including the right to accept or refuse a tenant or a buyer.
They can also evict an existing member on the grounds of breaking the society’s rules.
Some Hindus have also claimed that they find it difficult to rent or buy a flat in exclusive Muslim suburbs or buildings.
But obviously one cannot expect YOU to read the entire article before you post.
Mods, at the very least the title of this thread should be changed to something more generic i.e. religious bias in housing.
My title reflects the title of the original BBC news article, i.e. this baaliwood guy claiming he cant get an apartment just because of his faith, which for a secular (fake ofcourse) is a shame. Its time you stop listening to Laloo jee's angreji and read properly.
And those Hindus that were denied housing were probably low class achoots.
These Indians have so far not been able to provide a better life style for the majority, how can they protect minorities... it is not a country but incidental unit which have to split apart...

So based on your interpretation *India's shameful treatment of its minorities **is the same as **Muslim star claims housing bias *?
OK...carry on :)
And while you are at it, maybe you should take English lessons from Lalooji.
Wow.. This happens in India! My image of Hindus and Muslims has been of them singing and prancing about Bollywood style, professing eternal love for each other!
so what you want, Emraan Hashmi to come to Pakistan or India should give away one persons land to Pakistan,
there are lot of Pakistanies who live in India, there is one fellow called Adnan sami who has multiple appartments in Mumbai and he sings in all Indian languages, last i reed in a news paper that there is a guy who got terrorist training in Pakistan came to India crossing loc after some times he settled in Kolkata married a Indian girl till he got busted last week,
but only on Indian who permanently lives in Pakistan is Dawood Ibharim,
It must have taken just a day for Emran to realize how lucky he is as a minority in India … while he might not be able to get a flat in Mumbai …but atleasr he did not have go through the experience of what happened the next day … minorites in the “region” realized where they stand when they were burnt alive in their houses by a mob … responding to calls from the local mosque … shame shame !!!

Are you talking about Gujrat massacres or are you talking about the numerous Christians that your hindu fundamentalists have been lynching almost on a daily basis?

Sure ... the christians in Pakistan should get solace from the fact that they did not "treat" their fellow muslims in east Pakistan differently .....
^ The US Government has repeatedly noted India for the organized societal attacks on minorities in India. There are a few cases in Pakistan, but they’re mostly the works of incompetent RAW agents who fail to do anything else thats worthy.

Where do you get your facts from. I am a proud Indian. I am a Roman Catholic and I can categorically state that your statement is false and is not based on facts. It is just based on hearsay. In all my life in this country I have never felt discriminated against.
It is time you guys took your crocodile tears elsewhere...
Incase you have not noticed this is world affair forum and most importantly another thread on that tragic incident is their in Pakistani affairs... I must say, you must not hurry in posting replies specially in these forums, next please do check if the posts/thread you are posting is already under discussion or not..
