The fact that the article was written by JG Arora (a full fledged right-wing Sanghi who writes for the organiser) is enough to understand why this article is twisted to show that Article 30 is somehow anti-Hindu. Most of his articles try to create mass hysteria by somehow creating this scenario that everyone is out to attack hindu culture. Please do not fall for propaganda being spewed out by the likes of these. And I'm sure a smart person like you can easily see through their made up theories and see how false this is.
To clarify, a more blatant discrimination on the basis of religion is exclusions of Dalit Christians and Muslims in the SC/ST category for reservations in jobs and colleges the predominant beneficiaries being Hindus. Why doesn't Mr. Aurora highlight this fact as the majority of reservations in education as well as jobs are set aside of non-muslims and non-Christians - a blatant discrimination. The Article 30 was bought in place to somewhat alleviate this discrepancy although this does not take into account the jobs factor.
Funding for most institutions is through private donations and income from wakf properties and government grants although play an important role are not the only source of funding. Besides, non-minority students can still study in minority institutions and madrasshas as seen in this article by munshi so whats wrong if my taxes fund these. Children are getting education and thats what matters!
In my personal opinion, there should be no such thing as reservations or minority institutions, everyone should be given a fair go and only "Economically backward classes" be they high caste or low caste or hindu , muslim or christian should be given preferential treatment in some way to help them out. Reservations in jobs should be completely removed because only merit should be the basis for this. Unfortunately, since the major beneficiaries are the SC/ST (mainly hindus) form a large voting bloc, any political party that preaches abolition of this will commit suicide and will not talk about this.
Now coming back to the Ramakrishna mission trying to declare itself a minority institution - I can't find any recent news about this. The only problem they had was state interference from the communist west Bengal government in 1980. Since then they have had no issues and they happily declare themselves as Hindu organization with no interference from straight authorities. Article 30 had nothing to do with this.
