It is your duty to protect Muslims: Chidambaram tells Hindus
Deoband, November 3: Reaching out to Muslims, Home Minister P Chidambaram said a nation can ignore its minorities only at its peril and pointed out that it was the duty of the majority community to protect them.
"A nation can ignore its minorities only at its peril. We must always remember that pluralism is our inheritance and strength. It was the duty of the majority to protect the minority. Due to the acts of a few, we have allowed diversity to become differences," he said.
Speaking at the 30th general session of the Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, he said, "We cannot view Islam as an alien faith because this is the land of your forefathers, this is the land of your birth. It is a matter of our pride that Islam exists in India along with other major religions".

What this Chidambaram is blabbering about, Hindus to protect Muslims and Muslims to protect Hindus blah blah and blah?. India is not like Pakistan or other Muslim countries where the people of other religions have separate minor status than the Muslims. In India every one is an Indian and they all have equal rights. It is because of srupless politicians and self assumed superior intellectuals than the rest of the Idiots like common man ( in their yard stick), the so callled minorities keep on exploiting and suppressing the majority community to the extent that soon all the Hindu children and grand childrent will be chased into reservations like what the Christian americans did to the native people of that land after forefeiting all their rights until they cnvertd into christianity. Our governments also slowly eroding the basic rights of every Hindu Child in education and career and other opportunities and within few decades our own children will have to either convert themselves to the so called minority religions or lose even the basic dignity. Mark my words and this is going to be the ultimate truth if the Hindus don't wake up and unite to form their own vote banks.

You can solve all muslim problems once they give up alien culture ,jainisum ,budhisum,sikhisum came out of hinduism and they have no problems, problem of muslism is self inflictaed they have forgotten they came out of hinduism and now they hate hindusum.The Quran should be reviewed and discussed why they are taught to kill infidels distroy the temples anad no indian laws to punish them and no gate out to leave islam open to them.

Hinduism is not a religion but myth, hindu name was given to hindu by Arabs, they called people living near hindukush mountain region are hindus,they have no scripture or any particular traditions, they all believe in multi God and Godess which are made out of fairy tale stories, I can give one example of Godess SANTOSHI MATA was born by one of third class bollywood producer who invented this Devi in a 1970 film called SANTOSHI MATA AND THAT LATER ON BECAME SUPERHEAT AND THIS BAJRANGEE LOT STILL WORSHIP SANTOSHIMATA. now judge yourself this intellectual hypocrate bajrangee with your small psize brain that how stupid they are!!!

So called Havard Univercity man talking like this. Already Hindus and Muslims are very good friends in the public level. You politicians all creating all this for your own benifits. You politicians are creating trouble. Every Indian citizen inclusive of our Muslim brothers knows it. Some of the Hindus and Muslims are bent upon want to create trouble to survive.[percentage is nothing] That is what happening in India. India is not true Democratic. Our forefather written Constitution of India is not at all followed by our rulers. It is in paper only.
