Question for people who promote this
by imran patel on Nov 07, 2007 09:48 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Some people seem to suggest that the POLITICIANS are in-efficient because they want MUSLIM votes.

I am not convinced by that theory. Here is why,

- Muslim account for 13 % of the Indian population.
- So 13 % voters are Muslims.
- Similarly Hindus account for 80% of the country
- Hence 80% of the voters are HINDU.

Now if we agree on these numbers and disect the "MUSLIM - VOTE" Theory that the CMs are inefficient in fighting extremism for Muslim vote then we can come up with two conclusions,

Either,

- Muslims are more involed in the elections (Higher Muslim turn out than Hindus)
- Hindus are not voting for what they believe.

The idea that politicians are ignoring the MAJORITY and are more intereted in MUSLIM votes just does not add up.

Please explain this theory.

If you are promoting a theory, you should back it up with evidence and data.

IMRAN, FIRSTLY MUSLIMS ARE NEARLY 20%, AND ALL OF THEM VOTE FOR APNEY WALA. THEY NEVER THINK WHO IS GOOD FOR INDIA BUT WHO IS GOOD FOR MUSLIMS.

HINDUS USUALLY THINK WHO IS GOOD FOR IDEOLOGIES HE THINKS ARE SUITABLE FOR PROGRESS OF INDIA.

IF HINDUS WERE HALF LIKE YOU MUSLIMS, YOU WUD NOT WRITE THIS MSG. YOU WILL BE ELIMINATED LIKE THE MINORITIES IN PAKI.BANGLA ETC.

IT IS SAD, THAT EVEN AFTER 60 YEARS OF SECULAR DEMOCRACY, YOU FAILED TO UNDERSTAND THE VERY ISSENCE OF DEMOCRACY.

TELL ME THE TRUTH. WHICH PEOPLE AND RELIGION IS OFFICIALLY AGAINST SECULARISM? IT IS MUSLIM ONLY. THAT IS WHY NO MUSLIM COUNTRY ALLOWS ANYBODY LIKE NONMUSLIM NATIONS DO.

PLS DONT USE DEMOCRACY WHEN YOU WANT TO, AND WHILE DEEPLY BELIEVING IN ISLAM THAT DOES NOT ALLOW US.

WHEN MUSLIMS RULE, WE HINDUS WERE MADE TO PAY A TAX CALLED JAZIA TAX FOR GOING TO OUR TEMPLES. AND DONT BRING THE CRAP OF LOWER CASTE ETC. YOU KILLED THEM EQUALLY WITH THE UPPER CASTES.

If that is the case then, 80% of the hindus who "USUALLY THINK WHO IS GOOD FOR IDEOLOGIES" should be able to marganalize the Muslim Vote. Remember 80 is GREATER than 20.

Even if I agree with all you say, how is 20% muslim vote more powerful and influencal than 80% hindu vote. It just does not add up. Please explain logically and statistically.

If Muslims have voted for Muslims, then Muslim league would have been the biggest party of Muslims. It is not!

Patriotism is not a monopoly of Hindus. History says there were more traitors in Hindus rather than Muslims. You can start the list from Jaichand Rathod.

Why not talk about lower castes? Just because it slaps on your face? Lower castes migrated to other religions including Islam because they were given inhuman treatment by Hindus. Most of the Muslims in Pakistan were lower caste earlier. Musharraf is a Gujjar (those who are demanding SC status today in Rajasthan).

The sins of generations will haunt the Hindus, there is no escape!

To tell the truth, the RSS & its siblings are anti-secular. Read Bunch of Thoughts written by Golwalkar.
