AMU – A pack of Muslims without backbones

The Judiciary seems to be the only organization that is preserving the sanity of India. The Congress and most other political parties are slaves of the Muslims and this has led the community to a disappointing ruination.

Indira Gandhi promised around 1980 that Aligarh Muslim University would be made a minority institution. It is very ironic that Indira Gandhi, the same Congress leader who instituted the word “Secular” into our respectable constitution, should strive to create a communal educational institution.

Allahabad High Court has very rightly ruled that as a Secular nation, the Indian government cannot cater privately to the Muslims. Making AMU a minority, aka Muslim, institution would be unconstitutional, if not detestable. The HC has at last brought sanity to a 25-year-old issue.

From the HC petition:

These 50% seats which are required to be filled
from internal as well as external candidates on the basis of entrance examination
to be conducted by the Aligarh Muslim University have since been reserved under
resolution of the Admission Committee / Executive Council of Aligarh Muslim
University in respect of Muslim candidates only. The petitioners who are Hindu by
caste as such have been deprived of their right to participate in the process of
selection for admission to Post Graduate Courses against 50% of the total seats,
reserved for admission through entrance examination conducted by the Aligarh
Muslim University.

But the Teachers’ and Students’ Union of AMU have protested this decision of the HC. Now, I seriously do not understand how the supposedly intellectual cream amongst the Muslim community, which are the teachers and students of a so-far respected institution in that community, lack the backbone to stand on their own feet in a secular society.

Here we see learned Muslims begging the Govt. to amend the Secular Constitution of India to give them special rights so that a university funded by the Centre can candidly give preferential treatment to the Muslims. The teachers and students seem to suggest that their community is so intellectually depraved that without these condescending privileges, their brothers and sisters will be unable to secure education.

It is indeed a very sad condition for the Muslims of India when their own brethren should condemn them to differential treatment; their protest against a court judgement suggests to me their desperation to exhibit that the Muslims are an intellectually challenged community, of which there is in fact no justification.

Sensing the political mileage that can be made out of the situation, Congress minister Arjun Singh, immediately stated (before even reading the court judgement) that the AMU should somehow be made a “minority” institution. It may do well to the teachers and students of AMU to worship Arjun Singh alongside their founder Sir Syed.

It will be interesting to see how this controversial situation develops. Will the Congress drop this vote-yielding issue, or will it once again prove to be a saviour of Indian Muslims?
