I have never understood India and its Muslim fixation. I think priorities of Modern India is badly misguided. I dont think not speaking about truth would do any good for country or for that matter even Muslims. This policy of Muslim appeasement will have to go away. Next generation Indians will never want to live in divided society, which believes in appeasement based on caste, creed, sex, color or religion. Our appeasement has gone to the level that we are allowing Shariat law over a common law and common code of conduct in our own country? What is more ridiculous is that we are ignoring the growing Muslim population? Western analysts already predicting that in future India will become a Muslim dominated country. Look around, there is no appeasement of other religions in Muslim dominated countries...If Aurangzeb did wrong, he should be called wrong and truth should not be ignored, history should not be ignored for the cause of appeasement...You know what? If we stop this appeasement policy and just support them in education and other spheres...maybe Muslims would get hurt with truth for a little time but they will overcom....may be...or may be not..But, the whole point is that this country was carved on the basis of truth, secularism and non violence..Lets not forget our principles and be REAL truthful, REAL secular and REAL non-violent..

Nope...that was my point. We do not have REAL truthfulness, REAL secularism and REAL non-violence. I agree with you. Why 48% reservation for lower castes? MAy be for Ambedkar's recommended time period(10 yrs) it was not bad. But this has become a never ending saga. This has become an excuse to escape from fact that we did not provide them better education etc...

Religion is only based on beliefs and nobody has any authentic proofs of what all had been written in our religious texts is true...have we ever seen a miracle happening...its all belief...and just in the name of these beliefs, why do we want to quarrel...When somebody asks for a glass of water, you don't ask him his religion and belief to quench his thirst...and this is what matters...Everyone should take this approach in every aspect...There should be a ban on people speaking about religion if its doing no good...

Indian equality is imperfect. Some Indians, especially those who belong to minorities are more equal and get special benefits. For example, muslims get a subsidy for their Haj pilgrimage (India is the only country in the world which does that). Hindus are not given the same benefits for their pilgrimages. I agree the point about reservations, they should be totally removed.
