Moderation is the key
by munish kumar on Dec 15, 2006 02:30 AM

The Sachar Committeee Report should is politically motivated. The Congress and Laloo, Mulayam and ilks has always used Muslims as a vote bank ( and BJP too tries to woo them particularly near elections, though my muslims brothers are never going to vote for it though!) and the sachar report is a ploy to provide them reservations. I am against reservation as such reservations donot augur well for India in a long term. What we need to do is to provide 'reservation' (ie, better education and resources to economically backward people- whether be Hindus or Muslims or others- and abolish reservation in a phased manner!

By the way I just saw the Bangla (Bangladesi) movie Matir Moina('The Clay Bird') directed by Tareque Masud and liked the theme: the clash between orthodox islamic thinking and the moderate Islamic views.
