		<description>Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar say they cannot buy a flat in Mumbai because they are Muslims. So much for Indian Democracy ( Some call it Indian Hypocrisy ) and Indian claim of "Secular India".
In Pakistan, I have never heard of a Christian, Hindu or Sikh not being able to buy Property.</description>

		<description>I agree with "KAM" in his earlier assessment. I am a Pakistani - born American Muslim whose parents migrated to Pakistan from Delhi. I don't think your reasoning is that unconventional. It is based on facts and cool analysis of our recent past ( I say recent comparatively speaking keeping in mind the two  countries seperated in 1947 compared with Muslim presence in India exceeding a Thousand years). I think the Muslim leadership especially Mr. Jinnah got manipulated by more seasoned politicians like Nehru, Sardar Patel and to some extent by Mr. Gandhi). The Congress leaders knew exactly which buttons to push to make Jinnah demand a homeland for Muslims.
The Division of Muslim Constituency into three parts weakened Muslims in India immensely and that was the goal of Indian Congress under Nehru. 

The socio economic conditions of Minorities in India in general are deplorable, and specifically Muslims situation has reached a crisis proportion. Muslims are at the bottom rung of the socio economic ladder. In March 2005, the Prime Minister of India appointed a High Level Committee headed by Retired Justice Rajinder Sachar to prepare a report on the social, economic and educational status of the Muslims of India. The findings of this high level commission are shocking and point to marginalization of Indian Muslims in India. This is 403 page report but here are some of the findings regarding the literacy rates and govt.employment rates of Muslims.

In the field of literacy the Committee has found that the rate among Muslims is very much below than the national average. The gap between Muslims and the general average is greater in urban areas and women. 25 per cent of children of Muslim parents in the 6-14 year age group have either never attended school or have dropped out.
Muslim parents are not averse to mainstream education or to send their children to affordable Government schools. The access to government schools for children of Muslim parents is limited.
Bidi workers, tailors and mechanics need to be provided with social safety nets and social security. The participation of Muslims in the professional and managerial cadre is low.
The average amount of bank loan disbursed to the Muslims is 2/3 of the amount disbursed to other minorities. In some cases it is half. The Reserve Bank of India’s efforts to extend banking and credit facilities under the Prime Minister’s 15-point programme of 1983 has mainly benefited other minorities marginalizing Muslims.
There is a clear and significant inverse association between the proportion of the Muslim population and the availability of educational infrastructure in small villages. Muslim concentration villages are not well served with pucca approach roads and local bus stops.
Substantially larger proportion of the Muslim households in urban areas are in the less than Rs.500 expenditure bracket.
The presence of Muslims has been found to be only 3% in the IAS, 1.8% in the IFS and 4% in the IPS.
Muslim community has a representation of only 4.5% in Indian Railways while 98.7% of them are positioned at lower levels. Representation of Muslims is very low in the Universities and in Banks. Their share in police constables is only 6%, in health 4.4%, in transport 6.5%.

Presently only 48.6% Muslim men are employed and only 13% Muslim women have jobs. Statistically, Muslims have fallen behind the Dalits in terms of education and employment.This systematic marginalization of Indian Muslims have had a devastating effect on Muslims communities.
The Central and State Governments do little more than pay lip service and use few elitist Muslims to   use ordinary Muslims as " Vote Banks " at Election time with big promises that never materialize.  

If  Pakistan is serious about helping Indian Muslims, they can begin by resolving pending issues with India and create an environment of peace, trust and confidence. Such cooperation between these two countries will go a long way in improving the lot of Indian Muslims.</description>

		<description>1. First about anti-human laws have you read anti-terrorism laws in UK and US, where you can be detained for months for no apparent reason. I think you are concerned about laws in Pakistan regarding
Ahmedis. Well those laws were made after Ahmedi mullahs themselves accepted that who ever dont believe in Mirza Ghulam Ahmed is a Kafir. So mainstream muslims are Kafir to Ahmedis and vice-verca. Discrimination is from both sides. 
2. Look at your angry words it seem you are full of anger and dont want to listen to anything, typical symptoms of extremism. I think you are ready for a suicide attack in Pakistan you hate.
3. Now about Christians, yes it is very deplorable if such things happen and people should be punished for their acts. However its not even 1 percent of what happened in Indian Gujrat, muslim bosnia,Kashmir,Gaza last year,Palestine etc etc..... Please show some sympathy for them as well. Minorities in Pakistan will be a Target for revenge attacks until these long-standing problems are solved. You have forgotten the plight of muslims due to your ''personel" vendetta against Pakistan.
4.Pakistan's President is a Shia in a Sunni country, can India's PM be a Muslim in Hindu country.
Pakistan had a women PM just after 42 years of independence. US still have to see a women president after more than 200 years of independence. In west women's right of vote is just a recent historic event.
5. If I had propaganda in my head due to my background then probaly I never had said that making of Pakistan served west and Hindus in India instead of muslims. 

Umair cool your self down think with brain instead of anger, then you will differentiate between reality and fiction.</description>
