Reservation needed for Backward Muslims
January 5th 2010 05:01
The first person to raise this issue was Nehaluddin Ahmad the president of the All India Muslim Forum in 1993 and when Mayawati was CM she agreed to give Bacjward Muslims reservation, however soon things took a turn for the worse and Nehaluddin was arrested and jailed by Mayawati. Today the Misra Commission has raised the same issue.
You may well ask why I say this? What event has led to this situation, Let us therefore take a look at the Ranganath Mishra Report.
Today the Ranganath Mishra Commission report, tabled in the winter session of parliament, recommends 15 percent reservation for all minorities in government jobs, education and welfare schemes, of which 10 percent quota is for Muslims - the largest minority in the country. It was denial of reservations for Muslims which led to the creation of a Pakistan, today, if this is implemented in India, there are several lobbies both in India and Pakistan who have been silently working for the last few decades for the reunification of the two countries. Pakistan is a beleaguered and failed state and India cannot afford to have an enemy in Pakistan any longer, the choice before the two nations is simple, they have to reunite their house to survive the greater dangers that lie ahead.
To give Muslims political protection Jinnah had demanded the inclusion of 14 points in the future Indian constitution that included 33 per cent reservation for Muslims in the legislature and also in the ministries and simultaneously there were other issues denied this he felt that his last effort to unite the two communities went futile. He then raised the issue of a separate state.
It would be worth examining as to what the founding fathers say about reservations. Interestingly, both Sardar Patel and C. Rajgopalachari did vehemently support the charter of providing political safeguards to the minorities according to articles 292 and 294 of the 1949 draft constitution.
Today the Muslims are not the only minority that need reservation, there are Kashmiri Pundits, there are several castes and creeds, all these need to be addressed, There is also the creamy layer, they must be denied reservation at all costs. A government officials son must not be given the benefit of reservation for a government job as he is now part of the creamy layer, there are several things wrong with our present system of reservation and job quotas and we need to sort this out and in the process if we can end sixty years of enmity hatred and strife and recreate India United then why not.
