I want Madam Sulekha Shastri to let us know whether she has ever been discriminated for being Hindu. I am a Hindu. I celebrate all Hindu festivals. I have studied in Govt schools and colleges. I have got a job without any references. I have a big circle of family and friends. None of them have ever faced any discrimination for being Hindu. So where is the problem.
Point which Madam is missing is that we don't want India to become like the Muslim countries. In those countries not only the minorities but even the majority (muslims) have no fundamental rights. Remember when the minorities lose the baisc rights (which in ur opinion are special privileges), the Hindus will also lose their rights.
When Emergency was imposed, both Muslims and Hindus had lost their rights. Both had fought against it.
So don't get carried away by propoganda. In J & K it was the reluctance of the Hindu King Mr. Hari Singh which gave Pakistan time to attack.
I can reply to each of ur points but just ask youself if you had ever faced any problem in this country just because you are Hindu. Ramayan, Mahabhart have been shown on Doordarshan (govt channel), We celebrate melas like Kumbh mela, Shravani mela etc.
So please think again before forming a negative opinion.
Just because the muslim coutries are not democratic or they don't give any rights to their people, we should also become like them or should we remain different.
