We cannot consider this as a big change. It is infinitesimal. Hope to see many such welcome gestures.

Hmm Most of the middle east countries based on monarchy, their legal system based on English common law and Islamic law; ultimate appeal to the monarch; has not accepted compulsory ICJ jurisdiction most of legal system based on Islamic law (sheriat) but India is democratic and is a federal state with a parliamentary form of government, legal system based on English common law; limited judicial review of legislative acts; accepts compulsory ICJ jurisdiction, with reservations. And here some do not know exact political meaning of majority, minority, democratic, monarchy, reservation, legal system etc So, I merely wasting my time here, I am kicking off from this thread my self … claps and whisles good tempo Mr. Madhu kumar Nemalikanti

Dear Citizen, Don't forget a christian / muslim is also a citizen in the first place and Indian. What ever be their religion they are Indians. They were abused in the name of cast. Now the abuse started in the name of religion. Onething everyone has to remind such things are not healthy discussioins. What I suggest those who left Hindu camp can be brought back to the camp. Treat them well. Don't neglect our citizens in the name of cast / religion. Recognize every citizen. Naturally every one feel great to their motherland. The thread originator could have saked self was there any country that people in India suffered in the name of cast. Start a campaign today for bridging gaps under cast and religion. Don't forget all are citizens of India. It's embrassing the way things are mentioned here. Don't make rule and form a Govt. neglecting the citizen of Indians. It's great their valuse are protected. If someone's stick reaches any target(nose) make the stick owner responsible and accountable. Freedom to every citizen. Reservation is not a freedom but it's curbing their rights. Reservation in the sense those people are not deserved for education only a few % are eligilble for education. Some reserved for money. Think in a properway how to improve 100%education, medical facility, civil supplies, infrastructure. These things will help the nation. The thread originator should apolize the members.

In the Middle East countries Islam is the state religion, and the Basic Charter preserves the freedom to practice religious rites, in accordance with tradition, provided that it does not breach public order. The Basic Charter also provides that Shari’s (Islamic Law) is the basis for legislation. The Government permits worship for non-Muslim residents, govt itself allotted land to build the temples .Hindu temples exist on government provided land. HINDUS IN THE MIDDLE EAST and NORTH AFRICA Country: % Hindus of the population Bahrain 45,000 8.0% Kuwait 4,000 2.0% Oman 780,000 28.0% Qatar 60,000 7% Saudi Arabia 150,000 0.7% United Arab Emirates 400,000 17.0% Yemen 2,000 <0.1% Total 1,440,000 0.36% *) Calculated for the total population of 430,000,000 in North Africa and the Middle East.

Recently, former Jammu and Kashmir chief secretary Musa Raza is leading the team. Other members of the delegation include Maulana Shafi Moonis, vice-president Jamaat-I-Islami Hind, Dr Qasim Rasool Isyas, All India Muslim Personal Law Board and Dr Navad Hamid, Movement for Empowerment of Muslim Indians. The modus operandi of this front is to visit Kashmir to create an 'atmosphere' in which Kashmiri Hindus can return to the valley with honor and dignity.

Hindus are reacting .. but the moment a Hindu protests killings in Kashmir he would be branded as communal ... that is the pathetic state of the Hindus of Hindustan!

Exactly veva ji .. Tappu chesina vaadu ee matasthudaina sare siksha padaalsinde .. Herez is a news item from 1996 archives.. how much Coverage has been given to this compared to Babri? I was talking about this bias. J&K MILITANTS HAVE DAMAGED 127 TEMPLES THE TIMES OF INDIA ________________________________________ NEW DELHI, TUESDAY FEBRUARY 20, 1996 Jammu, February 19: Militants damaged 127 temples and 16,000 houses of Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley between 1986 and 1992, according to a report prepared by the Panun Kashmir Movement (PKM). The report on "human rights violations in Jammu and Kashmir" , submitted to the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), says 32 temples were destroyed by the Kashmiri militants within 48 hours of the demolition of the disputed structure in Ayodhya on December 6, 1992. The maximum number of 47 temples were vandalised and damaged in February 1986, followed by 44 in 1992. Of these, the maximum, 72 temples were vandalised in Anantnag, the rest in Srinagar, Baramulla, Kupwara, Badgam and Shopian, the report said.

Some of the temples like Mata Khir Bhawani temple at Tulamula, Sun temple at Mattan, Luok Bhawan temple and the Ganpatyar temple, were destroyed in rocket and grenade attacks, the report said.
