I appreciate Prince of Arcot for his valued comments,
No doubt India is one apart from Hindu, Muslim Sikh Christans or else. We need money, to purchase food clothes, education even to purchase "CHADAWA" in temples/mosques/gurdwara/church. thanks
What we the indian people have seen in these years that more fanatic of all the religions is the religion of secularism. Much talks have been there about uniting secular forces (?) But what is secularism no politician have ever stressed on the reality. Secularism doesnot say to deny the religions, but an inherent hatred particulalrly against the Hindus have always been nurtured by the so called secular forces. If you are secular than why do you talk at all about religions(?) Cant you just leave it to the Religious parties and go talk and work on other sectors of developement. I think its the time to pull down the Masks of the so called secular people. Because those people who donot have a religion and/or do not believe in one are surely the offsprings of the Satan. Its time for us the true religious people of the Country (be it Hindu or Muslim or any other)to show the reigious brokers the rough side.
the interview is very good. the caption muslims are not minorities is really catching. people in india should understand the reality and the old fashioned words like minority has to be deleted politically and instead it should be used in economic front. let it be an eye opener to the politicians of the country and if they rectify it would help the country to forge ahead. ganesh
Thanks for such an Interview.This is what India have been expecting from a person of your profile to be delivered.What ever you said are facts.The minorities should not feel that they are less previliged in contributing to the growth of the nation.They should have feel in themselves that they should grow.This holds good for the people who are feeling that they are from backward community and being neglected. They should choose not to use the previliege of Reservation.This makes the others feel that they are really backward in their thoughts.When they have opprunities to grow, they should grow and show to others that they can really grow. They should come out of the clutches of the politicians who are basically using them for Vote Bank. The politicians will never help the communities to grow for the want of votes. A good Interview that had to be read by the people who feel that they are from Minority/Backward community.

I read that Prince of Arcott was the only one, whose privy purse was not taken away. First of all "PRINCE" title itself is demeaning, in the sense that British considered only the King of Great Britain to be a king. All Indian Kings were given a status equal to Prince of Wales-and called Princes.Somehow these princes are proud of it even today rather than being ashamed of it. Second thing is that when these "Princes" had there Privy Purses revoked, there was no reason for Prince of Arcott to continue to enjoy it. I do not wish to conclude that it is minorities appeasement, but I would like to know what was the reason behind giving him money collected from mostly Hindu citizens, and giving him the status of Cabinet Minister in Tamilnadu. No matter what the lineage, no Hindu has been given this kind of privilege by "Secular Socialist Republic of India".

i like say one things why rise the question that muslims are minorities did any one ask plz leave that topic try to love the life and enjoy with all friend (hindu,chrisrian every one)
Your message to the muslim community leaders and to the political leaders is a fantastic one. I hope you had more influance and your voice was more strong both politically and as a leader of Muslim community. You are absolutely correct in mentioning that the leaders of the community are not allowing their own people to come up in life and in turn contributing towards the progress of the country.
We as the new generation look towards wise people like you and our honourable president APJ Kalam to really speak loud and support the muslim community to move foward. World is moving forward and India cannot remain behind. If India has to move forward muslims have to become part of that.
Mulayam, Mayawati and Laloo are unfortunately allowed to rule us. They exploiting our illiterate people to their short term political benefit.
I just hope that after this election congress will learn a lesson to think for the future of the country instead of trying to please the Nehru dynasty.
This column introduced to me to a progressive India and am proud of him. This is the way people from all the so called minorities and backward classes, scheduled classes should think.
I disagree with just one thing mentioned by this person that muslims were made presidents, governers etc.. THEY WERE NOT MADE, THEY BECAME whoever they are by attaining education, by struggling thru hardships and we should recognize that.
