Mr F, we need it

"Don't we need to look above reservations? Why do we need subsidy to go on Haj"

Of course ,we need (subsidy to go on Haj): because otherwise only the ultra rich can go.
Even now the word "Haaji" ( one who has gone hor Haj) is synonymous to a "rich muslim man"

There is nothing like the Indian muslim , the Indian Hindu.It is only the issue that is addressed that seems to be important.

If it is a rich man's daughter's marriage.then all the invited are the rich (muslims/hindus/sikhs).........,

If it is the man on the slum that has to be evacuated from his home , then it is all the other people in the same slum( not the slum Hindu , the slum muslim)

If it is an admission in the IIT, then the competition is between the cream of intelligence the intelligent Hindu/Muslim Vs. Intelligent Hindu/Muslim ( not the intelligent muslim Vs. the intelligent Hindus)

Uplift the downtrodden without sincerity no one will benefit

Try uplifting the rich even without any sincerity , the poor may also benefit .The rich will look after themselves .And if there is a downtrodden in between the current will carry him along and he wil be uplifted

Well Said.....Had been looking at this drama for long. Not sure when would this ever change but the attitude had always been categorising on caste and none to bother about the economic status of a human being..

Let me conclude saying, this may gain popularity to people who speak but the whole process had never been matured.......
