"Minority', as seen by the Constitution, is taken to mean one's ethnicity - born into a certian group or sub-group, comprising a certain segment of society, usually marginalized. Muslims on the other hand are not minorities, as muslim is not an ethnicity but a religious grouping. One can change one's belief and hence one's religion as often as one likes, but one cannot change one's ethnicy - you are born so, and will forever remain so - always! Hence, Muslims are as Indian as every other citizen and are are not a minority! So, let's get this quite clear - 'minority' in this secular democracy, is based on ethnicity not religion!
