Appeasement :The congress way

Sachar Commitee

Justice Rajendra Sachar headed a committee to find the state of muslims in India
following are the findings
1.Muslims have a lower literacy rate

2.Muslim Parents are averse to mainstream education

3.The representation of muslims in the IAS is just 3%, 1.8%in IFS, 4% in IPS
The committee also wanted to count the number of muslims in army but was unable to do that .

There are still many findings but I dont want to mention all, you can find the report on Internet

So to solve the problem of muslims Sachar committee wants various kinds of reservations be given to muslims just like there are reservations for SCs'and STs'.

Giving reservations to dalits is justified as they were socially backward and they were boycotted by many sections of the society even till independence and in some parts of the country they are still being discriminated, but the case of muslims is completely different they formed the upper strata of the society, they were rulers in many parts of the country, they were never deprived of any opportunities, they were treated on par with Hindus, if they are still backward then there is some serious problem which has not been given much attention.

The basic problem is population which is the mother cause for poverty, illiteracy and unemployment ,generally a muslim family is bigger than a hindu family, and moreover if the family is poor the family cannot afford to educate all of their children resulting in muslim parents being averse to mainstream education, and thus contributing to the depression in literacy levels.So awareness is more important than reservation.Its such an irony that muslim fundamentalism is on rise in India and madrasas and fatwas are being given more importance which are acting like goons in disguise hampering the growth of Indian muslims. If government is more interested in doing something good then why dont they provide better education at cheaper costs, why dont they take measure so that more muslim girls and boys are enrolled into school.


Its interesting to note that the states which were ruled by the so called secular parties lags behind when the matter is about muslim representation, for example west bengal where left parties have ruled for more than 30 years where muslims constitute more than 25% of population has just around 4.2% muslims in government jobs and the same is the case with UP and Bihar, but gujrat seems to be good in this regard, so it seems that people who speak about the welfare are not really intersted in welfare they just propose such schemes which look lucrative but are not, they just want to grab the votes but dont want to pay the debts, its all about vote bank politics and it can be clearly seen when Manmohan Singh our Prime Minister says that muslims should be given first priority, did he meant that the rest of the people are second class citizens, I as a Hindu was really hurt when our PM said that I will not be given the same priority. The findings of Sachar committee are accurate but the root problems are not being addressed properly and I am sure they will never be just like BJP remembering lord Rama during elections, congress and its allies will appease minorities with such candies.

left is right and right is wrong

People interested in politics will surely understand what i meant by the above statement. yes, i am writing something on the 123 deal with united states

first, let me mention about some significant events and then continue my explaination

1962- sino-india war, few left parties supported the aggression which results in the split of the communist party

1974- first nuclear test under the leadership of indira gandhi, left parties oppose it

1995- PVN decided to carry furthur nuclear tests, but was forced to stop due to US pressure

1998- under the able leadership of ABV india conducts tests at pokhran, US officals are taken by surprise, left parties oppose the test

july 2007- left parties oppose APJ being given a second term because of his nuclear stand

2006-07- US promises of nuclear cooperation right wing parties oppose the deal fearing that it may affect india'a military expansion and that there may be restrictions on india testing nuclear weapons

when the full text of the nuclear deal was released there was no mention of nuclear testing, its a very ambiguous situation but congress says that as there is no mention we can go a head with our nuclear program but oppostion parties are not satisfied and they continue to oppose it.one wonders why left is opposing it, why is left thinking about india's nuclear weapon program while it was completely opposed to it in the past, they opposed APJ for his nuclear mindset which they are against and only in few days they have taken a u-turn.

It was the right wing parties which always wanted india to become a nuclear state, and they wanted india to conduct nuclear tests but now even the left want the same and they want india to have an independent nuclear weapon program, and the bjp(read it as right) is the one which started this whole thing with the US when it was in power and now it is opposing the same

So i feel that in this present scenario the left wing is behaving as if it is the right wing and it is wrong on the part of right wing to oppose the deal so i say

“left is right and right is wrong” in simple words the deal is good and its wrong to oppose the deal.
