Surely people arent discriminated in such a secular country on religious grounds.

Poor understanding of the meaning of secularism. Discrimination is not done by the state & when a case of discrimination is brought before it, the state uphold the law. It is foolish to suggest that individuals don't have prejudices, there will always be some who have. Does not reflect on the state.

So, you're making a huge propaganda issue on PDF on this one-off incident? Do you even know what's happening in your own country where there is rampant discrimination against the minorities? People in glass houses throwing stones at others is rather silly. Here take a look at this....

Members of the Hindu minority in Pakistan fear persistent harassment and complain that there is little official protection accorded to them. Hindu activists argue that ‘secret files are kept on them and their integrity is always in question.

They are not allowed into the armed forces, the judiciary or responsible positions in the civil service'. These allegations are substantiated by the facts, which reflect an almost negligible Hindu presence in the higher echelons of the administration, bureaucracy and armed forces. Discrimination and prejudice against the Hindus is reinforced by the religious orthodoxy, within educational institutions as well as by the state-controlled media.

Minority Rights Group International : Pakistan : Hindus

So one guy out of 1.3 billion doesn't get employment for some reason and you guys go berserk as though the whole Muslim Community consisting of almost 200 million in India is being persecuted!

Simple answer to your concern about pakistani society.

Rana Bhagwandas (20 December 1942 – 23 February 2015), was a senior judge and former acting chief justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan (CJP). He enjoyed extremely high reputation as a judge.[1] He remained the acting CJP during the 2007 judicial crisis in Pakistan, and also briefly became the acting Chief Justice of Pakistan when the incumbent Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry went on foreign tours in 2005 and 2006,[2] and thus became the first Hindu and the second non-Muslim to serve as chief of the highest court in Pakistan.[3][4][5][6] Rana Bhagwandas also worked as the Chairman of Federal Public Service Commission of Pakistan. He headed the interview panel for the selection of the federal civil servants in 2009.

it is failure of the indian state to not have eradicated regressive and reactionary attitudes among the indian peoples in 68 years !!!

in truth, by devoting resources to armaments build up, the indian state has helped protect the reactionaries.

[Donatello]

What is it is a pro-active step as in the past many muslims who were employed with the firm had said no to do work on idols? What if they were claiming it as hurting their sentiments and company had lost contracts due to this?

tomorrow if muslims working in an idol making company started demanding touching idols is against their religion, then what shall company do? just keep on them pay roll without expecting any work from them?

There is no need to jump to conclusion without proper investigation. The company has clearly said they have Muslim HR working with them, then there is no point raising fingers towards them.

Atleast the muslim guy's voice is heard and action is taken. This is what the beauty of Indian democracy unlike those who are bashing India and forgetting about the plight of minorities in their own country.


Yes, Secular, thats why this muslim guy can raise his voice and his voice is heard as well. But you cannot understand that!!!

Why can't i understand that? Sir, that is not an unbiasedopinion.

 

[unbiasedopinion]

Why can't i understand that? Sir, that is not an unbiasedopinion.

I simply said...wait till investigation is completed. The trainee who responded in the manner has been suspended. The police has filed a complaint. The NCM has initiated an inquiry. So wait before raising fingers towards India.

That's a silly position to take, where does discrimination by private citizens not exist? In the U.S.? In Europe?

So whats your point?

My point was to counter his arguement in which he says hindus dont get higher position in Pakistani govt. But you posted irrevelant things it was about pakistan not india :-D :-D

and only socialism can eradicate such artificial prejudices.

 

[Sinnerman108]

This is the only aberration of its kind that had come out. From Presidents to Army Chiefs to Judges all positions including top positions have been filled by people of other relegions. If some lala company decides on such things. you really can't track it down.

See that is fine.

But other countrymen of yours are trying to paint as if this doesn't happen at all is what I have a problem with.
Fact of the matter is that knowing the over all strong religious adherence and lower levels of education
such discrimination are wide spread.

They may or may not be as dramatized or even reported but they are still there.
