Why muslims are dead against this 'technology transfer deal'? In order to find answer to this question, we have to go back to post partition years. After Gandhiji's murder and death of Sardar Patel, Nehruji became the undisputed leader of congress. Brahmin caste in general galvanised around him, dumping other B leaders. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad became Education Minister and elevated to defacto number two position in Nehruji's cabinet. Under the leadership of the duo, Congress, the ruling party developed a patronising relationship with muslims in India. Overnight, the main antagonistic community became a captive vote bank for ruling parties. Muslims in turn, shocked after impact of partition, developed a new logic for this unquestioned support. First of all, they thought there is no altenative. Secondly, they refused to see the politics behind patronising relationship. Their social leadership convinced them that the 'special care' they are getting from the government is a 'price extracted from the government' for their religious proximities with Arab world. If India needed petroleum, it had to appease muslims even at the cost of rising hindu anger.' With this deal muslims are afraid of losing their 'priviledged political clouts over Goverenment in India.'
