Re: It is people who decide the fate of a state


1. Reservations for Muslims (or any other relious group for that
matter) is a divisive and short sighted political move by the current
administration. It is unfortunate that we still think of our citizens
through religious and caste lenses. As you rightly pointed out these
are more political than genuine steps to help the needy. Is it time to
rephrase the consitution to reflect the changing needs of economically
backward leaving divisive religious and caste lines aside?

2. Land sale to construct a church in Tirumala seems to be a hoax. It
is unfortunate that anyone would try to leak such information to
further drive wedges on religious lines. It may look politically savvy
in the short run but can come back to haunt the whole society and we
all will pay the price.
