Does anyone here know the benefits of minority status ?
If you guys strongly feel against Muslims's minority status then what about Sikhs- They are financially strongest community, Jains - Financially strong & Hindu , Parsis and Christains ?

The benefit of minority status is that under the Endowments Act, the govt. takes away all the money collected in temples of Hindus from divotees, and this money is then redistrubuted among mosques and churches for their maintenance and expansion.

You want me to read out the Endowments Act to you? You can file an RTI application with the ministry of social welfare and find out how the funds collected under this Act have been utilised. You will find that most of this goes to churches and mosques. ARe you disputing that Muslims are being pampered in India and being used as vote banks?

dude , As far as grant to Mosques is concerned I dont any. Otherthan that Waqf has enough property to support itself. Yes few Madrass's get nominal grant and they get support like any other educational institute. Have you heard of Vidhya Mandir's ..RSS sponserd .. BJP govt in UP had made a rule to give a regular grant to them .. now if a Madrassa , asks for grant why there is so hue & cry.
and yes minority institutes are autonomus that's the benefit.

Dude, I studied in a Vidya Mandir. There is no communalism taught there and there are no religious classes. Their syllabus is the same as approved by CBSE or state boards and all students sit in the same Board exams like any other. This is the problem with you Muslims -- you people stand like a wall in any discussion, not willing to admit anything about shortcomings of yoru own religion, while heaping dirt on everyone from Hindus to Jews to Christians to Buddhists.

No wonder, the world does not engages in debates with you people anymore, but prefers to take you out on the streets, like America is doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. You people are fundamentalists and beyond reasoning and incapable of chaning. You have not changed a bit in the last 1400 years, and there is no hope what did not happen in the last 14 centuries will happen in the next 20 years.

"Otherthan that Waqf has enough property to support itself."

And do you know how the Waqf acquired its property and to whom it belonged originally? These are actually temple lands. When Muslim kings used to destroy temples, a mosque was created in its place and all the lands associated with it were given to wakqs. Similarly Church is the second biggest land owner in India after the Railways. Both of these two religions suck.
