Mr. Owaisi is propagating the continuation of 'quota and reservation' concept for the Muslims in India. He also emphatically states that devoid of 'reservation' as the cause of backwardness of the Muslim minorities. On the contrary, this writer holds the view that the existence of 'quota and reservation' concept for the minorities is one of the reasons that Muslim community cann't compete with the rest of people in India. Indian education system is available to anybody who wants to go to school and make his/her life better. It does not prohibit or distinguish based on race, creed and gender. Therefore, I suggest to Mr. Owaisi that he should work with the local and national leaders to encourage his own Muslim community to make sure that every child goes to school instead of getting involved into any racial and sectarian conflicts, instead of complaining and blaming the government establishment. Being a very well educated person himself, it is his duty to show a broad vision for the uplift of his people in the community. Asking for a 'quota' or 'reservation' for his community is just like begging instead of devising some means of educating them so that they can compete for IAS, IPS and any other prestigious positions. Actually, it is a shame that even after 67 years of independence, these minorities are still looking for a 'hand-out' instead of competing for any position. May be there has been some politics involved to keep them illiterate and use them as a voting bank. But whatever the reason may be Muslim community cann't shift the whole blame to others for their own negligence and backwardness. They are equally responsible for what they are going through right now. But as they say, better late than never. Again, the correct way to tackle this situation is for people like Mr. Owaisi to devise and create some long term provisions to educate the Muslim in India. I am sure the local and national governments will be glad to review any concrete proposals on this matter. The ball is in the court of Mr. Owaisi and other Muslim leaders in India.
