OIC concerned over India protests

Why does government need to know the religion of the people to plan & develop?

There are many inter-religious marriages that take place in India. Which Religion do their kids belong to?

Religion is a private matter. Government has no role in it.



Indian affirmative action is based on caste categories (OBC, SC, ST etc) . Caste is a Hindu concept. It is not applicable for non-Hindus.
My Godddd realllllyyyy???

So ex-Dalits who become Christians lose their right to affirmative action on the basis of their RELIGION????

WOW. Whadda genius we have here guys.

In trying desperately to prove Pakistan is an "Islamic state" that discriminates against non-Muslims, he has tied himself into a knot and accepted that today, I could be a dalit Hindu getting affirmative rights, but tomorrow if I say the hail Mary, I will lose that right even though economically I am still as disadvantaged as I was before.

Well shaggg me stupid.

If that isn't discrimination on the basis of friggin religion against non-Hindus specifically, then I don't know what is!

Yes. True.

There is a movement in India by dalit Christians and dalit Muslims that they need to get reservations as well but as things stand today you can only get a caste certificate if you claim that you are a Hindu as technically Christianity and Islam do not have or recognize the concept of caste.

For improving these religious minorities conditions

That is done based on economic status not based on religion.
 
You are expecting to solve this complex constitutional problem of citizenship and rights when the world is full of indian migrants on dubious paperwork? Goodluck

Technically all Indian muslims are declared illegal aliens as per the new citizenship bill regardless of 1951 provisions or 71 electoral roll call.

How many of those 200 plus millions are Indian citizens must be determined before you claim a stake in OIC on their names.
No ,no one is declared illegal .all the illigal Indians from all parts of the world should be sent back to India ,is it not the right thing to do.

Majority will be Indian Muslims ,I don't think there is will be too many Pakistani Muslims ,the major illegals will be BD Muslims.To know the extent they are in India all you have to visit a construction site or any fast food joint in South India .They are literally every where

This is my favourite post of yours.

You admitted in the first bit that religion, not economic status affects economic benefits in India. Then in the second bit, you said what you think should be happening, which is the opposite of the first bit.

Keep going.

No also included religion status, in economic status you never know which minorities is in the better position and other in worst position

Two words Ghar Wapsi.

India is basically blackmailing the world as the world would suddenly have a refugee crisis.

There is no contradiction.

Government of India provides reservations (affirmative action) to lower caste Hindus based on their social status based on their caste certificate.

Government of India provides benefits to all other citizens based on their economic status.

For example, look how one can get a ration card. It is not by religion but based on economic condition. There is no religion involved here.
