Okay for all you people out there who are opposed this view and think that the govt. is throwing NEEDLESS and NOT NEEDED sops to the muslims, here's a simple test. Apply to a job with a muslim name, govt or otherwise. Even though you are well qualified there are so many pockets of discriminations against you that chances are you will end up not getting it. Had equal representation policeis and anti discrimination laws been in effect, you would not see Muslims laging behing and you will not see Muslim ghettoization that is so widespread. The financial standing of an average muslim is next to nothing, (leaving out the creamy layer who have managed someone by working in the gulf or overseas) - which also brought huge amounts of forex to INdia in the 70's, 80's when we did not have liberal economy. Point is sensible people have realized that you cannot move forward having 150 million behind. People have realized this and these are late attempts to rectify teh discrimination based on religion that has crept into the fabric of the system. People are talking about bomb blasts - where is the proof that muslims caused it or planted it?? the moment something happens - eveyrone blames muslims - is that not discriminatory?? What do you have to say about that? Its like you have gathered evidence, judged the case and pronounced an entire people guilty of a crime that 99.9% of them never had anything to do with it. Right was would be to do investigation and find out first. JaiHin
