If a Muslim can head RAW , can a Hindu ever be DG ISI?

If a Muslim can head India’s Intelligence Bureau, can a Hindu ever be DG ISI?

Salman Khurshid, Altamas Kabir,
Shahabuddin Yaqoob Quraishi,
Mohammad Hamid Ansari, Syed Asif
Ibrahim.
The Khan brothers, Imran Hashmi, Saif
Ali Khan, the Pathan brothers, Sania

Though the names on the second line may
perhaps be more familiar, the names that
shine bright on the first line are of keener
interest. Unlike in Pakistan, some of
India’s highest political perches are
occupied by Muslims.

Yes, the God-fearing Musalmans .
Take Salman Khurshid , for instance. He
was recently appointed to serve as
Foreign Minister of India, a position
which likens him to the soon-to-be
Secretary of State, John Kerry, and on our
end, Hina Rabbani Khar. In the case of
Pakistan, it is a position that has
historically been occupied by a Muslim.

Altamas Kabir holds the mantle of being
the highest judicial authority in India. As
Chief Justice of the Indian Supreme Court ,
he is endowed with supreme power.
Though a reticent figure, he is said to be
prudential in his rulings and as the newly
appointed Justice, he is sure to take hold
of India’s judiciary by virtue of
constitutionally astute and righteous
decision making.

Shahabuddin Yaqoob Quraishi is the Chief
Election Commissioner of India, and is
tasked with one of the most pressing of
assignments: holding free and fair
elections. It may seem to be the case that
the task is of little merit, but Pakistanis
have had their share of rigged elections ,
and understand the need for partiality. In
fact, the Supreme Court’s ruling on the
1990 election should have been an
awakening to strengthen and reform
electioneering laws, and with the help of
the CEC, Pakistan can be put on sound
footing when it comes to elections that
are free of impartial intrusion.

Hamid Ansari is the Vice President of
India, and is the only person to have
served two consecutive terms in the office
he currently presides over. Therefore, it
shouldn’t be judged that India’s
appointments are mere placeholders;
rather one should acknowledge the
genuine political participation of Muslims.

Lastly – but perhaps most importantly –
India recently tapped Asif Ibrahim to be
the director of India’s Intelligence Bureau.
In the Indian press, he is described as an
able successor, and a champion of
national security. Given that the
Intelligence Bureau seems to be
perpetually interlinked with the ISI – for
reasons pernicious and well-documented,
this is soon to be a household name, if it
isn’t already.

What Pakistanis across all stripes need to
reflect on is that India as a government
institution is becoming increasingly
tolerant of religious minorities , and it’s
time we do the same.

At present, to suggest the appoint of a
Hindu to the post of director general of
the ISI would surely be met with derision
and scorn. Such is the case because we’re
seemingly bred in a political environment
that looks upon religious minorities as
inferior.

This year Foreign Policy Magazine , the
flagship publication in international
politics, ranked the mending of Indo-Pak
relations as one of the top 10 stories of
the year. Both New Delhi and Islamabad
have taken genuine steps towards
reconciliation.

Sure, easing visa-restrictions and getting
rid of the positive list of goods that may
be imported from India is a needed step in
the campaign for Aman Ki Asha, but it will
only be through establishing trust with
the residing populace that Pakistan will
manage to progress towards
understanding.

To restore confidence in minorities of
their safety and their belonging, the least
the government of Pakistan can do is to
appoint – on merit, of course – members
of religious minorities to offices where
they most belong.

This is one step that doesn’t require the
approval of India. It is an initiative that
can be taken on our own will, with our
own conscience.

Imagine a Hindu DG ISI.

Imagine an Ahmadi prime minister.

Imagine a Sikh foreign minister.

Imagine.

The ball is in our court, and it will stay
here for the time being. It is time we
execute.

Well not at the moment. But many non muslims have served in higher posts in the past and there was not much hue and cry. Even today some non muslims are serving in the armed forces, but this hushed up.

Unfortunately, the rise of parties who used Islam as a clay toy, convinced the masses that non-muslims cannot assume power.

If we get rid of this extremism, Pakistan will be much better.

 

[Icewolf]

Yea, but Muslims have less than 5% govt representation when they are 15% of India

Doesnt something strike u here?

Its been well known that Indian Muslims have the lowest govt representation. For instance, even though Sikhs are 2% of India they have HIGHER Army and Govt representation than Muslims. Same goes with Christians

Muslims are the new "Dalits" of India

How can someone be a Muslim when the man is head of a spy agency whose main agenda is to spy on Muslims.

Do you support the idea of pak Non Muslim becoming prime minister, president etc

 

[kaykay]

not needed IMO.....this thread will further be the 'troll hub'.

I hope you have got the answer to the question posed in the title of this thread.

 

[Icewolf]

Of course I do.

But Pakistan does not have much religious diversity for this to happen.
A Hindu was our SC judge although

 

[Rusty]

What a dumb comparison. Pakistan has about a 3% minority population so why would you expect all these top slots to go to them? India on the other hand has what? 20, 25% minorities. And like ice wolf said, Muslim are woefully underrepresented.
Nice try at trolling tho, maybe next time you will succeed

If you ask any person in India about their identity , you will get only one answer " I'm an Indian first then a Muslim , a sikh , a Christian or a Hindu "
That may answer your Question !!!!

He has C&P an article from a Pak Newspaper.

Why are you shooting the messenger ?

Sanddy ; suggest your format the article while posting / pasting.

who used Islam as a clay toy, convinced the masses that non-muslims cannot assume power.

So Islam is deep rooted in in Pakistan......

That proves Indian Nationalist Muslim are spiritually weak Muslims who are more like agnostic.

Shooting what now?
If you are not smart enough to understand the argument I made then that is hardly my fault.

India is a secular nation, so a muslim person being head of RAW won't turn much heads. While it can be a big gamble for a muslim nation to put a Hindu in the top, that too in it's much talked about organization.
