What is the big deal in the biggest "democracy" in the World?By: Russell | Thursday , 11 Jun '09 11:03:09 AM Reply | Forward You people sound like racists. Talking about Hindu property and Muslim property. Get over yourselves. You do not own this land/earth. It was given you to steward, to see how you will use it. Will you stake it off and claim it as your own and deny all who come after, or will you nourish it and let it provide for you and everyone around you, including your muslim/hindu/christian/buddhist/name your poison here. If you own something, you can loose it - so be careful what you own as it will soon be lost!

Quota for Muslims is a double edged sword, KhurshidBy: Vasoo Kamulkar | Wednesday , 10 Jun '09 6:39:54 AM Reply | Forward For Javed (continued from part III Why have Hindu temples been razed in those countries while thousands of little mosques being raised every year in India? Vote-bank scavenging sycophants of the Nehru family give a damn!It looks like Dr AZ Mhammed is not happy with Mr Salman Khurshid.I also worries him that the Indian Muslims are not shining. The Muslim community Mullahs are the root cause of this. The secular Government of India subsidises the Madrasas, which mushroom all over India.Is the money used to make the Muslim youths more competitive in Science and Technology or just wasted in imparting only Qur'anic wisdom and feeding hatred towards India? Dr. Manmohan Singh has recently proclaimed that the Muslim minority in India has the first right over Indian resources. All Dr. Mhammed has now to do is buy electrical paraphernalia. Financial current will ensue. There will be Id illuminations through out the year. Jai Ho Nehru name and sycophants! (PART IV concluded)

Quota fot Muslims is a double edged Sword, KhurshidBy: Vasoo Kamulkar | Wednesday , 10 Jun '09 6:19:46 AM Reply | Forward Just give us a Wakf Land says JAVED (contd.)(b) The Muslims in India hate the Hindus. The Koran commands them to do so. Their religious priorities compel them to disregard India as their Mother Land. It therefore follows that quite a high percentage of Hindus do not relish pluralism. Of course, Javed will be quick to raise the Constitution bogey here. One can only ask him to listen to his inner voice. Which side he would Consider also the plain facts of life, which the Hindu leaders of yore and their prototypes of today Were unable to fathom. The Muslim population in India has been doubled since the Partition while the Hindu population in Pakistan and Bangladesh is being inversely dwindling almost to a zero. Pundits are being kicked out of Kashmir. As if this is not enough, the terrorists casually enter India, get support from the local community and kill Hindus mercilessly.None raises an eyebrow over this. What has happened to the Hindu property in Pakistan? PART III

Fundamental mistake.By: Dr.G.G.Rajan | Wednesday , 10 Jun '09 6:11:12 AM Reply | Forward If the political parties and their leaders are really interested in uplifting the country, quota system based on religion must be immediately scrapped. Instead, all admissions and employment should be strictly based on merit and economic considerarions.Only this approach will cover all the economically weaker section of the society irrespective of caste and religion.I really wonder, why the leaders fail to think in this line! The current practice of Congress-led UPA is to 'divide and rule' the country by religion /caste .For achieving this only the quota for minorities, SC/ST/OBC etc had been created right from Nehru's regime.Right to education policy proposed by the UPA is nothing but a cheap trick.What has the HR ministry done to improve literacy and educational standards ? For making the right to education policy successful, the first step is to motivate the children by councelling. This will create additional job opportunities, which the Govt should plan.

Quota for Muslims is a doble eged sword, says KhurshidBy: Vasoo Kamulkar | Wednesday , 10 Jun '09 6:04:34 AM Reply | Forward Just give us a wakf land/property, our rights/control; not aid/reservation" says JAVEDRegrettably, it is hard for the Hindus to share his sentiments as they have realised that after eating the cake Muslims now also want to have it. Javed should ponder upon two ground realities. (a) On the 14th of August 1947, bowing to the Muslim demand, India was partitioned and Pakistan created as their homeland. Consequently, on the 15th of August 1947, the wretched Hindu slaves were released from the yoke of the Mughal and British tyranny. Any first year law student should be able to concur that whatever remained of India after the division, belonged solely to the Hindus for their own enjoyment. All villages, towns and cities with their natural and fabricated resources, chattel, and entire land including the so-called Wakf Board properties, the Taj Mahal in Agra and the Jinnah House in Mumbai now remained Hindu properties.(PART II)

Quota for Muslims is a double-edged sword, says KhurshidBy: Vasoo Kamulkar | Wednesday , 10 Jun '09 5:54:34 AM Reply | Forward The present Congress Government,led defacto by Antonia Maino Vincy Gandhi Cannot be trusted by the Hindus. Its agenda is to promote Catholicism in India.Many ministers in Manmohan’s Council are her boot-lickers. The choice of the right-thinking honest intellectuals would be anathema to Rahul's chances in the future. The appointment of the Rt.Hon. Salman Khurshid is a surprise. He was left out from the last Ministry, although he possessed talent as Narsinh Rao’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs. Without going overboard to appease the Muslim minority, one could say that Mr Khurshid would be preferable to Rahul as the future Prime Minister. On this occasion, he would have been most suitable for Mr S.M. Krishna’s job. He uses his sharpness and subtlety in whatever he chooses to do.u don’t want to try and please somebody and not get them the comfort of actually getting any relief.” He is not against the elevation of the Muslims; yet he would not antagonise the Hindus. PART (I)

Muslim reservationBy: Naim Azimi | Tuesday , 9 Jun '09 20:53:53 PM Reply | Forward I agree 100% the comments of Mr. Salman Khursheed. Poor Muslim much deserve need to uplift in community.

Nasty quotasBy: Mohd Azam | Wednesday , 10 Jun '09 8:52:55 AM Reply | Forward I give guarded praise for Salman Khurshid. He know the quota tinderbox will explode on the faces of Laloos and Paswans and burn Sonia dynastic face too. There is going to murder and mayhem if quota politics is not ended soon. The quota loot and robbery has gone too far indeed.

Reservation for MinorityBy: Varind | Tuesday , 9 Jun '09 12:24:16 PM Reply | Forward Correct and perfect approach of Mr. Khurshid which eventually help the community to come out from the demon of special quota and would inject sense of competing with other them communities. This suggestion of Mr.Khurshid will give a place of pride to the minority community and would make them feel free from merely being treated as Vote Bank and beneficiaries of special treatment.

DIVISION AS MINORTY AND MAJORITY IS DETRIMENTAL TO COUNTRY.By: B S GANESH, BANGALORE | Monday , 8 Jun '09 21:13:42 PM Reply | Forward I consider present Minority Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid is a very sensible and patriot when compared to most as he thinks word " Minority " and special quota only divides the people and create conflicts. India badly requires NATIONAL INTEGRATION AND FEELING BELONGING TO COUNTRY and not division by caste or religion. I fully agree with him B S GANESH, BANGALORE
