The whole argument is silly. The debate should not be whether the representatives belong to the majority community or not, simply because being a Hindu will not make the minister any less corrupt than he/she already is. If a Sikh PM or a Muslim President is doing fine on the administrative level, where does his community come into the picture? If he is not doing fine, it is irrespective of what community he hails from. He/she may personally favour his/her own community, but one's allegiance to community does not in any way add to or take away from one's competence. You don't have to belong to the religion of a man in distress to feel his pain. Either you can, or you can't. If you can, it is a human feeling; if you can't you belonging to his religion is not going to help one bit.
This argument is like the age-old belief that persons of a particular community need to represent them for their upliftment. While that may be partially true due to some inherent empathy, it does not in any way mean a person belonging to that community will be any less inept or corrupt than any other. No Hindu organization today really works for the honest betterment of Hindus, no Muslim organization today works honestly towards betterment of Muslims. All of them work only towards their own agendas, which affect only those parts of their communities that happen to agree with them. Once one tastes power, money and greed overrides any other factors and destroys any attachment to one's own community.
