[Reader-list] India on a list of countries which have failed to protect its religious minorities adequately

[Rakesh Iyer]

Well Rajen ji

Good points. But what is this rule of law? You people yourself contest and
start asking for a Uniform Civil Code, thereby stating that the current laws
are inadequate or incorrect to satisfy the current situation, and hence such
a code is required. So also for POTA.

And as for the implementation, most of the minority appeasement acts are not
against the Constitution of India, whether it be the Sachar Committee Report
or the demand for reconstruction of the Babri Masjid. Therefore, what
exactly do you want?

You are one of those who state that it's wrong for Manmohan to say that
Muslims have the first right on the resources of the country. He didn't say
that others don't have a right too. But you seem to think that statement
does mean that. What do you want about those kind of statements, can you
tell? And anyways, how does that statement correlate with functioning on the
ground?

The Haj subsidies are supposedly within the Constitutional directives and
ideas. Do you support that, or do you oppose that? And why?

Do you support the point that post-Godhra violence was wrong and
unjustifiable, howsoever Godhra as a crime may be?

You are good at misusing questions to avoid answers. My simple question is
this: what should be the value system upon which the Indian law and
Constitution must be based and what should be the Indian judiciary's values
as well while giving their judgements: Hindutva? Secularism? Islam?
Hinduism? Something else........

Which rule of law should prevail: Hindutva rule of Law/Indian Penal
Code/Shariat/Something else? And where would Muslims be placed as a section
of the society in any such rule of law which you are talking about?

As for "brownie points", I have learnt that from you. So you are my guru in
that, I wholeheartedly acknowledge. Congrats for that, guruji. I would never
be able to keep up with you in this, I agree.

Regards

Rakesh
