RE:From Khilafat to Godhra by NS Rajaram

Despite the above stunning statistics, the idea is to be inclusive in a democracy. Once you have parity in per capita incomes, female participancy etc., these substantial concessions will be curtailed.

As for the Haj Bill, muslims have to travel abroad for the same while Hindus do not have to. Moreover, it is essential to their religion to do so. A hindu is not compelled to visit a particular shrine and does not need incentives to do so.

Relax, live and let live. These are minor issues and the amount of money you specify is miniscule for the amount of goodwill you get from the same. Also, by living in harmony and by enjoying the culture of muslims (please dont harp on terrorism, you can read this as food, artisanship etc.) muslims are enriching this country of theirs.

As a hindu, I dont feel any discrimination in India and I dont see any reason why a muslim should feel it as well. Considering the above statistics that you laid out, it concludes that India is inclusive. Please do not spoil this great tolerant country of ours by listening to the communal arguments that just want to incite hatred in you.
