Quotas are not poverty elimination program. They seek to guarantee the representation which was denied by systemic discrimination.
For e.g Representation of Muslims was the reason of Pakistan creation. Not because Muslims were poor in 1947 compare to Hindus.
You have a valid point.
India has contained khalistan ghost when whole West was against and soviets disintegrating. West tasted khalistan terrorism by bombings and aircraft highjacking in past . There is limit of western so called free speech. USA Muslims has seen that after 9/11.
Problem with Khalistanis are that they are in the western countries which are desperate over friendship with India.
Sooner or later these snakes would be defanged by their own masters.
We don't have terrorists roaming around with Ak47 in our streets. Even some states don't issue firearm to constables at all. They have Lathi. That's it. :D
