Any government, anywhere in the world has to follow scientific
methods to solve the problems. The Government of India has too taken up
scientific methods of solving the problems of the upliftment of the lives of
the huge population who reek under poverty, unemployment, malnourishment,
illiteracy, etc. The Indian government it seems to have taken Pareto analysis
as the tool to identify the group where the effectiveness will be best.
Pareto analysis is a statistical technique in decision making that
is used for selecting a limited number of tasks that produce overall effect. It
uses the Pareto Principle –the idea that by 20% of the work, 80% of advantage
of doing the entire job can be generated. Or in terms of quality improvement, a
large majority of problems (80%) are produced by a few key causes (20%).
The population of Muslims 13.5%,
Christians 2.3%, Hindus 80.3% of the total while Sikhs, Buddhists, Parsi, etc form remaining population. The actual
minorities should have been Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians, Parsi, etc whose numbers
are too few, but the government of India has continually on the process of persuasion
of appeasement of Muslims. The feelings of being victims has been ingrained
into the minds of the uneducated, and now even the educated are feeling
discrimination some assumed some real.
Indian government, especially the Congress, whenever it talks
about minority problems it basically means problems of Muslims. The Sachar
committee has been established by MMS in 2005 to study the social, economic and
educational condition of Muslim community in India. The report is submitted in
20months time in November 2006. The major revelations in the report are – the status
of the Indian Muslim are below the conditions of SC and STs, the overall
percentage of Muslims in Indian bureaucracy in India is just 2.5% where as
muslim population is 14%.
The report also suggests some remedies to improve the plight of Muslims.
Some of them are preferential treatment to Muslims in Indian Army to bring
about a greater representation, easier loan facilities to Muslims, scholarships
to muslim students, etc. The value of the Sachar committee report is still
known but it has become a political tool to confront the governments to give
special treatments to the Muslims. The committee consists of Muslims, and they
definitely wanted to get the maximum mileage and there is a clear bias. Since the
report is accepted by the parliament, but the perceived anti- Muslim BJP is not
happy with the report because if implemented, leads to further divide in the
society.
If ever anyone doubts the intelligence of Congress Government, for
blaming its minority appeasement politics, there should be sound argument. The
Congress government definitely follows the scientific methods to solve problems,
to suit its requirements. The intent may not be to improve the situation of
neither Muslims not India, but to keep Muslims happy and keep getting votes.
Under the guise of scientific approach, the congress is killing the nation.
The lack of conviction in the Muslims to change according to the
times is the main reason for their backwardness. Many of the Muslims have
prospered, but a large section has been left behind, and this happens in every
society. Throughout the history of independent India, the Muslims have been
voting in blocks until the technology explosion has taken place. People are
getting connected better; information is exchanged in better way.
Muslims of Gujarat accepted BJP in the 2013 local body elections
but still the Muslims of other states hate BJP. This is the reason for the
backwardness of the Muslim community. No one can claim that Muslims are poor
due to lack of economic support. If that is the case, how is it possible that
many masjids etc built lavishly in even the tiniest villages possible? The
money is being routed through illegal means which should been used for the
upliftment of the poor than to build the temples.
The rich Muslims want many of their brethren to stay poor and to survive
on their doles, and which gives them some muscle power and bargaining power
with the local politicians. This case is not particular to Muslims, but to
every community. The Sachar committee report is a slap to the secular secular
credentials of the Indian nation. It implies that we are pseudo-secular or Muslim
appeasement country, which has emboldened the fundamentalist people of Muslim
community to pursue their illegal activities.
But the scientifically working Congress Government can say, “Blame
it on Pareto.”
