I don't thibk there is a hue and cry in the world over Obama's advancement. It is good that skin color is not a domianting factor any more nor is religion. SO far as muslims in India is concerned, it is due to some of the bad element therin who in the name of jihad opt for bloodshed and are ruining the prestige of their own brethern. Had this not been true there had not been any reason to blame muslim. Just go through the records and you will have the truth. Now don't say that some one has taken a muslim name and has done all these.

The mentality has to be corrected. The Muslims are more protected in India than in any country in the world. They get preference which is an open fact. Being in the mainstream and if some one out of them go berserk and in the name of freedom go for terrerist activities then themselves have to be blamed. It is wrong to say that they are opressed and are being dominated by other community or people from other religion. IN India a muslim had become The President. Before that also there had been Muslim Presidents - the HIghest Authority in the country. So HOW CAN THEN YOU SAY THAT IN INDIA PEOPLE ARE OR IN YOUR OWN WORDS MAJORITY IS AGAINST THEM. Though Gandhism still prevails here but there is a limit of everything. If human targets human and properties and spoiling national character one has to pay and has to pay. Why mercy. IN the process, it is also true that some innocent people also become victim. But you cannot blame. aatte ke saath dhum bhj

What you are talking about is a throwback to the imperial times. The Hindu Kingdoms were fragmented and at odds with each other therefore Muslim invaders could overcome them. After the establishment of Muslim Sultanates the Hindus who were previously free to practice their religion as they wished felt oppressed so there was internal strife in the Nation. The English took advantage of this and overcame both the Muslims and the Hindus. When the Hindus and Muslims (along with Sikhs Jains and Buddhists) united again they were succesful in convincing the British to grant freedom to a now united India. However the Hindus and Muslims had a falling out again over the division of power resulting in the creation of Pakistan. Now Hindus and Muslims are a perpetual thorn in each others flesh not realizing that we are indeed all humans and that God has no caste creed or religion.

Muslims were never oppressed in India. Kalam is a Muslim, but he is a gentleman. Infact, most politician do bootlicking of Muslims to preserve their vote bank.

Mr Khan
The opressed are normally weak if a people are opressed they must rise to the level of the opressors and I dont mean by warfare. It is only by accomplishments and education and reasoning and change that this can be done. It is a slow process but a sure process which will yield results. The nature of us humans is to subjucate and take what is not ours. Take a look around and see the state the world is in and perhaps you will agree. We try to subjucate by force or by political means or religious means or by offering incentives. Wars are still being fought over nothing and we call it idealism. Rather confusing and stupid dont you think ?
