I agree. Looking at comments of Indian members here on this thread is outright disgusting, its full of hatred against Muslims.
No one hates Muslim. We respect them for their work and their contribution to society. If they get educated, they get what they deserve. If they are good businessmen, their shops are filled with non-Muslims. Hell, we don't even think if the shop owner is Hindu or Muslim. We don't care if Auto-rickshaw driver is Hindu or Muslim or even Dalit.
Thing is people have been asking about 1.2 billion people living in a nation with 150 million Muslims, and people are judging Indian Muslim's state by few isolated cases.
There is thread running on issue of beard of Indian Muslim.
@
Oscar I ask you too. Tell me how relevant is this topic about discussing a beard of Indian Muslim on this forum. Its outright idiotic.
An Indian Muslim actor said that he feels bad when Some politicians doubt his patriotism. Now these politicians will do anything for votes. Its been discussed for two days on this forum. Have you ever wondered that that actor is Biggest Movie Star in this country in over 900 million Hindus.
APJ Abdul Kalam is one of the most revered person among students in school and colleges.
Look at all Muslim countries and India. Aren't Muslim safe in India compared to many of the Muslim countries in the world.
Of course there are problems every now and then in our country. But we have problem much severe among Hindus, problem based on caste.
I ask you guys one thing, What does Secularism means to you ?
I want to know what's your definition of Secularism and your POV because its clear you don't accept Indian version of Secularism.
Just other day, a poster was trying to tell me whether Shahrukh Khan is Muslim or not ? Now do we have to take certificate for who is Muslim or not because clearly 150 million Muslim don't have problem with it in India.
So I ask you guys, get over from this discussion on state of Indian Muslims. Clearly people just see bad thing that happens but ignore the general and normal state of Muslims in India.
@
Bang Galore You are right buddy. I didn't think Oscar and NE will question secularism in India based on Amitabh Bacchan, Shahrukh Khan etc.
They are making same generalization that they hate. When Pakistanis or Muslims are generalized because of few violent acts of Muslims.
Come on guys, be rational. Stop this game of proving that Indian Muslim are living a bad life than in comparison to your or other country.
