a nation is never a monolithic organ, it has so many different components pulling in so many different directions that the path of the nation is sum total of all these different vectors.
a very significant portion of the nation can be a very powerful impact over the country, take for an example, the parasees, with just a population of 65000, they employ more than 65 lakh people and contribule almost 20% of our GDP.
a small sect of music loving muslims have contributed more to hindustani classical music than any one else.
the communist movement is virtually led by upper caste brahmins in our country.
bhumihars have taken up half of leadership of naxalites in our country.
then there are people like me who like to get on with the daily life, earninf a comfortable salary, never really wishing to do anything radical, but willing to talk and analyze.
what can we do about the muslim problem?
is it truly a law and order problem? can you truly classify 16% of your population as law and order problem?
is it social, if yes what can we do to help them without raising indignation in other communities?
or does the problem lie with us?
if then what can we do to change ourselves?
i have my own take-
as a first step, ban all other madarassas, make it compulsory for muslims to send their children in a multicultural multireligious schools that are at least of the level of DAV or navodaya vidyalayas.
that could be a start....
