Insult to Muslims that none of the so-called secular parties are talking to or about them, says Owaisi. Say clearly Hindutva politics will prevail, he adds.
Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao had said that both BJP and Congress 'failed' to meet the people's aspirations and he would form a national party 'if necessary' to tackle them.
As KCR eyes two-thirds majority, Congress party says it suspects 'manipulation' of EVMs, demands votes be counted using VVPAT
Hyderabad: The TRS looked set to form...
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has tied up with Dalit leader Prakash Ambedkar for 2019 polls and calls alliance an assertion of Dalit, Muslim and OBC rights
Naidu attempts to shield aqua farmers after Trump’s tariff hits the shrimp farming sector in Andhra Pradesh, leading to the cancellation of 50% of the state's exports.
Company builds microsatellites that are smaller, faster, cheaper to produce. ICEYE will develop & launch micro-satellites, hand them over to India, which will have full control & sovereignty.
What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
His prediction the Modi would loose his 2nd term election was off base by much. But
still w’nt admit his mistakes and anti-india actions in Pakistan and at home.
This is an interesting article by Mr DK Singh on the alleged marginalisation of Muslims. But objectively seen, marginalisation of communities is not a new phenomenon. Brahmins are the first victims. It all started over 75 years back in Tamil Nadu, with the false campaign by the so-called Dravidian Groups that a handful of Brahmins were occupying all top jobs in TN Govt. So they set about declaring a majority as backward and giving them supremacist quota. That effectively wiped out Brahmins in TN from most public functions. The DMK has never given a ticket to Brahmins in past fifty years. Now the same concept of untouchability has been replicated by the viciously casteist RJD/JDU in Bihar. Abusing communities is a regular feature of Indian politics. “Tilak, Taraju, aur Talwar, inko maro joote char” by Ms Mayawati has gone unchallenged. The DMK/DK leaders regularly abused brahmins, that went unchallenged. For no particular reason, the BJP contestant, Ramesh Bind, has openly said that he wants to disrobe brahmins and beat them up! No politician has condemned his obnoxious statement. The point is, Muslims are not alone. Atleast they have someone to write for them. Brahmins have none.
Merely blaming BJP will not help. Media too has played along and in the long run only gone to hurt the muslim community’s interests. Vested interests abound, the community has suffered. When the minority card was stretched too far, the hindu consolidation was bound to happen. Only that in Indian context, it took a little longer. It would be in the interest of the muslim community to move beyond thescope of victim hood.
It’s not overnight development, small and fringe groups have been supportive of Islamic terrorism, this has slowly and steadily created a negative image of Muslims in India, Muslims have been recipients of gallantry awards and their contribution in arts and other fields are as good as others in India, but some how good people couldn’t be in limelight, general perception needs to be broken by Muslims themselves, they need expose the radicals among them, Indian constitution provided enough space for development of minorities, but they have not tried to reform the society, no initiative on social ills like triple talaq even after seventy years of independence shows lack of leadership and will among community leaders , once they do reforms at community level and bring codes like Hindu code bill
Sachar Committee? really? The pathetic pamphlet created by entitlement peddling government of Manmohan Singh. The pathetic part of the story is that even the Indian so-called “right” has no answer to it.
The results were tabulated on a per capita spending basis of different communities, such as Muslims, Hindus, upper caste Hindus, OBC’s and Dalits.
Per-capita spending for Muslims was lower than the per capita spending for Hindus as a block.
Ok, so far so good. Now to spend, you got to earn money and for others, I mean those that do not live in New Delhi or any political capital, one has to work to earn that money. Now let us look at the labour participation rate for different communities. That is very low for the Muslims, in fact, it is lower by about 10% points than the average for Hindus.
Let us divide the per-capita spending rate for Muslims and Hindus and divide it by labour participation rates for the respective communities. Voila!, that ratio for Muslims is a bit higher than the Hindus as a group.
Conclusion: Muslims are poor because they do not want to work. Maybe Muslim women do not work for religious reasons. Muslims families are larger with more dependent children etc. Both of this is true, as per statistics.
Our great prime minister of that time even said that Muslims have the first right over nations resources. What he really meant was Sunni Muslim men have the first claim over national resources. I do not see him much concerned over Muslim women though. Looks like he had sub-contracted the job of herding Muslim women to the polling booths to Muslim men.
This is true. Despite modi being a thief, betrayer of our nation a with new radar and digital cameras controversy its certain that India was in wrong hands. Now this does not make congress any better. They are scared that what if they talking anything favourable to minority communities specially Muslims will reduce their chances of vote bank, because people in India still are uneducated and unreasonable other wise who will some sense vote for modi again. The Gujarat riot is still pending case against him. Journalist like Rajath Sharma would still ask him, modi Ji, aap kitna mahaan aadmi kaise bana, worst part is world have gone ahead we still fighting for Hindu Muslim vote.
Rice bag convert……pappu’s theory of Sona from Aaloo and Manmohan’s statement that Muslim have 1st right on national resources are dacoit and thief an betrayer of the people of this land…..and people like you who have no connect with sons of the soil will get a kick at right place on 23rd wait..
very rightly said amresh jee.
I disagree with the politicisation of religion.
Religion is a personal issue.
Owaisi and RSS are one and the same. They are two sides of a coin with hidden agenda and understanding. People should reject both of them and vote for only those who speak of nation and not of religion.
Idiotic and substandard. Try to think as human being always trying in terms of religion. If only hindutwa works, BJP would not have lost assembly elections in it’s hinterlands. Our electorate is intelligent and commands respect. They do not vote for freebeies. They may be poor but not greedy like riches. They are simple and not opportunists like tweeterettis and opinion writers. My country has been extending help to the downtrodden but not in the name of religion. Also please admit that those who are much more concerned about life after death and driven by clerics only , state has little option to deliver. It is far from the truth that by don’t of ones religion someone has been discriminated against by the state. Lynching happened, unfortunate and shameful, no doubt, but didn’t state take actions against the perpetrators? Do not expect proportionate representation on the basis of religion, better try to go along with the contemporary world and also try to contribute for all.
Indian politics it seems is about vote bank politics. Now Hindus have created their vote bank, so every party is rushing to get it. Vote bank is like wolf pack in forest. Others have to form their own pack for protection.
A very well balanced and thought provoking article. The Muslim intelligentsia is equally at blame for the ghettoisation of Muslims and that includes charismatic leaders like Owaisi, who has sadly remained a ‘muslim leader’ only.
Keep connected to the soil.
Key for any Political commentator.
Don’t be like that Times chap who is possibly neither connected to India nor to Pakistan or for that matter the Sub continent and because of his feeling of possible identity crisis longs to get back to where it all started for him.
It is vice versa the so called secular parties ditched the real secularism for appeasement of this or that religion first Muslims left them then the parties became sickular And now they are behind Hindus with soft hindutva V.P .Singh changed all their equations.One thing is certain that o.b.c,.s.c.,.s.t. minority togetherness is the only winning solution.
Poor Muslims is better off voting BJP, as only party trying to improve infrastructure, which help poor. Poor Muslim is poor first and Muslim later. If he start thinking otherwise he will be taken for ride.

One simple question. If you are a poor Muslim family, would you rather the government in Delhi is led by the Congress or the BJP ?
Poor Muslims is better off voting BJP, as only party trying to improve infrastructure, which help poor. Poor Muslim is poor first and Muslim later. If he start thinking otherwise he will be taken for ride.
