Even without getting into general attacks on Muslims, it's pretty clear that this measure is a bad idea. Apart from anything else, it won't work.
I'm not opposed to affirmative action in principle. But for sixty years in India, affirmative action for "backward classes" (Yes, it means exactly what it says - backward classes have several categories, but are generally the people formerly called Untouchables - Dalits -, tribals in some areas, and some other disadvantaged lower castes) has simply not worked.
The system has been abused out of sight, with the *rich* backward class people receiving most of the benefits they don't need, and enhancing caste based divisions. The same thing will undoubtedly happen with Muslims.
The most important step required is to throw away affirmative action based on caste (or religion) and implement it based on economic need.
Of course, the chances of that happening...
I fully agree with you.The current system will benefit only the creamy layer among the " backward classes".the real poor will never get any benefit out of it!!!
