I dont have any problem with you being a muslim, or being or not a lil Owaisi. I too have a good lot of friends who are muslim, having studied in a college with majority of them there.
But frankly, the recent happenings are bit by bit frustrating me. I used to be secular, and even was about 3 yrs ago when I joined this forum. but I no longer can follow the current wave of secularism, which asks to empower every other religion, but my own. I am proud being hindu, but these days the it is not fashionable to be hindu. Fact is bro, whenever there is a minority appeasement, the majority will show strong grievances sooner or later. So if the elites of our nation doesn't curb playing their appeasement card the day is not far when the minorities will lose all their rights, since believe or not even the most ignorant person learns to choose better after being fooled for years.
Well first off........this entire issue of appeasement is debatable. Had there been appeasement indeed, then Muslims would have been living in economic prosperity in this country with no worries. Instead you find them one of India's economically most backward groups(now don't get tempted to say that muslims want to remain backwards,becoz you don't know the happiness on the faces of Muslim parents when they see their children becoming Engineers,Doctors,etc.......and the sorrow when they can't get their children admitted to quality schools.........eg.my maternal cousin who couldn't do his PG as his family couldn't financially support him for that) .......
If you have issues regarding specific topics like "haj subsidy" ........... then please know that had there been no subsidy at all,haj pilgrims would have been able to perform Haj with much more ease..........
The Myth of Hajj Subsidy | TwoCircles.net ........... Many have even accused the Govt of using this whole subsidy sham as a money minting exercise for Air India..........I am not saying here that if Govt does something good for us,we don;t want to be thankful.But if RW groups want to use this as a malicious libel against Muslims in the name of "appeasement",its troublesome.
Muslims are not different from other citizens of the country and neither they demand special treatment from the Govt. A muslim also goes to jail when he committs any crime.Its not that Authorities don't arrest or punish Muslims when they err. Infact Muslims have reservation in country's jails. Eg.In mecca masjid and Malegaon blasts too.....Police destroyed the lives of tens of innocent youth by jailing them without charge for years together. This is not to deny that Muslims don;'t commit crimes.
A Muslim doesn't avail of any facility for free in India,he has to pay as much as others.And in case of applying to govt positions, he pays as much as Open people as he is lumped together with Open castes,while OBCs and SCs pay half & nil respectively.
If you are talking of Special laws,then Sharia only applies for Muslim's personal dealings like marriages,etc. Such laws have been made available by past Muslim rulers(whereever they ruled) for their minorities. Like in India too Brahmins were not subjected to Shariah. In Ottoman empire too,the Christians and Jews were no required to deal amongst themselves as per Islamic law but as per their Canons and Torah. This has happened in the past and nothing new.
Where is appeasement?
