It was very saddened disappointed moment of my life when I studied some excerpts from Mr. Rafiq Zakaria's book,"the Indian Muslims".
He is the same type of man as Mr: Istiaq Ahmed of Sweden who is running asiapeace group website.
The people like Mr. Zakaria and Ishtiaq Ahmed are suffering from some kind of inferiority complex which had arisen aftermath of the 9/11 episode. It is a state of self pityness and self accusations which grows after having observing the success of other communities, persons or some individuals. This type of inferiority syndrome only lead individuals and nation to feel themselves as an inferior part of the surroundings around them.
Mr. Zakaria is blaming Muhammad Ali Jinnah for all the disturbance and turmoil that happened after the creation of of Pakistan.
According to Mr. Zakarias point of view all peoples are individuals who are inferior,or in minority and are frail should have to subjugate themselves for the stronger groups benefit to enjoy their left overs.
In -British era in the Indian sub-continent we were the rulers and rulers have no need to demand or create save havens for ruler groups unless their own interests are under threat as we saw in south Africa.
But in India after the departure of Britishers, according to the prevalent rule of democracy the majority was able to take over the country and Congress was not willing to allocate proper share of governance to Muslims which have been observed after the congressi Governments were established in the early 1938 or so in the provinces of Hindu Majority. In these provinces they introduced Band-e-Matarum anthem and prohibited the slaughter of cow etc.
Muslim should not had to object if great Britain was ready to confer rule of India to Muslims as it was snatched by the Muslims not by the Hindus.
Mr. Zakaria said Muslim of India should have to abandon veiling (Purdah and Hajj) etc, to make progress in Indian political and economical hemisphere.
Let women be a side and talk of Muslim men do they have their proper share in Job and Governmental Ranks, no. According to general consensus Muslim are 16 per cent of the Indian population, so do the have 16 per cent representation in the Hindu Government?
I only see a ceremonial Muslim president in the Hindu government.
According to Muslim percentage 16 percent of ministries should be occupied by the Indian Muslim.
And I am sure, if they had and have right to elect their representative on the basis of separate electorate, they were far better position then now.
If separate shares in governments are being suggested and forced for east Timur's, Kurds, shias and Achaean of Indonesia within the Muslim communities so why not for Indian Muslims.
If we find ourselves in agreement of Mr. Zakaria so their is no need to let exist any of Muslim country. All of them to be happy to be govern by the non-Muslims.
It is matter of pride and dignity to govern the territories by people of same faith, language, and ethnicity, if this rule was not in practice then there would have been no East Ti more,Bosnia,Croatia,Kasovo, Serbia,Israel and Kurdistan.
