what do people tend to conclude from this survey
1)if the propotion in army is less than that in the country...most
of them will conclude that there is bias in the army which is why there
are less muslims there(instead of the right conclusion that maybe being
a soldier is not a preferred proffesion with muslims). so there will be
a demand for quota/reservation in the army which the govt will happily
agree to and there goes the quality of army down the drains (since now the selection is done on the basis of faith instead of capability)
2) if the propotion is more in the army the obvious conclusion will
be that somehow muslims have taken advantage of thier minority and
instil a sense of insecurity in the hindu public(scars of india/pak
riots and wars are still fresh)....as to will they fight fairly if
pitted against other muslim brethren .we are taking about starting a small civil war here 🤢 .
i fail to see anything constructive
come out of it , they could have simply surveyed how much does every
state contribute to it .
also while we are it
why not survey how many sucessful muslim filmactors are there in
bollywood vs to the propotion in population, how many
sportspersonalities are there vs the propotion in majority and so on. 🤢 🤢 🤢
Very well said !!👏👏
Such surveys will cause more friction than anything . The fact of the
matter is in India minorties are not discriminated against in public
places/ companies on the basis of religon , be it a corporation ,
Goverment services ,Bollywood , Sports Industry . There are certain
areas some communities excell in . Example one knows in the art field
& music one tends to find more Bengalis, South Indians , in I.T
area you have South Indians , in the Film Industry you have the Muslims
etc etc !!
Such surveys are not just a waste of time but they will make people
feel their are prejudices ...........what will happen next will be
reservations . The problem with reservation is that it doesn't
guarantee the best of talents , in the armies case best millitary men
!! Now that will be injustice not having the best of millitary men in
the armed forces !!
