The presence of Indian Muslims in different fields including Indian army is linked to education and their social status.
The condition of Indian Muslims is so poor indeed with poverty level touching the ground they cant have any education nor can climb the lader.
And few percent who are educated can not find the trust of their majority fellow Hindu Indians to induct them into intelligence agencies or other such fields.
So whats the big deal if they are in small numbers in Indian army.
And even if they find way to armed forces there they are subjected to discrimination in some fields like Muslim officers are not allowed in Indian airforc to keep beard while the Sikh IAF members are allowed to keep.
Oh come on what is this bullshit?
an army cant be judged by demographics just because India's population is 13.5%, does not mean it has to reflect it in its armed forces. Its personal choice to enlist or join military service.
Bollywood is dominated by By muslim's not only the Actors such as shah rukh khan, kareena Kapoor etc but also the directors, the producers that finace the movies and the owners of the film studios themselves. I am not saying this represents the whole of the muslim population, but your statement that
few percent who are educated can not find the trust of their majority fellow Hindu Indians to induct them into intellegence agencies or other such fields."
is utterly false
Bollywood would not be such a success if this is true.
As for the other muslims in this country no doubt some live in poverty just as 40-50 %of the country does, they are no exception.
I am an atheist and my best friend is a muslim, i have know him since i was 8 and the muslims i met through him over the years including his family and friends seem to be doing fine
I have never understood that they have been discriminated against on the grounds that they are muslims
So now i have discussed the standards in the country for elite, middle and lower class muslims in the country.
the only muslims that are discriminated against are the lower class one living under the poverty line and its not for their religion but the truth is that the discrimination in India is and always been on the grounds on money and nothing else,
i guess that the real tragedy of India.
This topic is for trolls, Wishing to stir up ethnic hatred. India and Pakistan seem to have forgotten that they once were and still are bothers and sisters, however estranged we may have become.
we need to focus on what binds us together so we can build bridges. Not create these imaginary canyons that drive us apart.
This is off-topic but I hope that one day India, Pakistan and Bangladesh can understand each other and most importantly each others people to form a federation of countries(like the EU),Despite our 50 years of
differences, we had 4000 years of unity
. Remember that.
As for my opinion on this topic:
The Indian government has always upheld its secular values.
The rest is up to its people.
very bad you are discriminating your own Indian Muslim Citizens just because you have bad relations with Pakistan.
