Justice and Secularism - No Minority Appeasement Justice requires secularism of state. Justice also entails affirmative actions for the weak, oppressed, and marginalized. In a welfare state, there are affirmative actions, remedial measures, and rehabilitation efforts. But there is nothing like minority appeasement.

Why There Is Nothing Like Minority Appeasement! If you think minorities are enjoying "minority appeasements" by the Central/State Government(s), you need to wake up. Because, there is nothing like Muslim/Minority appeasement because the affirmative actions aimed at benefiting the minorities are just compensation towards what they have already lost in terms of lives, livelihoods, their houses, and their right to live a dignified life!

Why Aam Aadmi Party deserves a chance! Aam Aadmi Party deserves a chance because it has brought about some refreshingly new changes in Indian politics, because it is pro-people, because it does not follow the usual dogma of divide and rule. The AAP derives its strength from the people and directs its energy and efforts to serve people.

Could It Be: Privatization of Education in India Helps the Poor Privatization of the Indian educational system can help improve the quality of education and reduce costs. But to ensure access to education for all, the government must design an effective transfer-payment system.

Joining the Missing Links: Towards Shaping a Better Indian Muslim Community Muslims must accept the fact that we, the Indian Muslims, are responsible for a large part of our plight and need to make active efforts to ameliorate the situation. Else, there can be no way out. We have to take the initiative to break the vicious circle and come out of the constant state of decline and deprivation.

The Media Should Be Restrained Immediately after any incidence of terrorist activity, the mainstream media's immediate reaction - pointing the finger towards Muslim extremist groups - shows the media's inherent bias against the Muslims.

Divisive Communal Politics in India The polarized mentality of certain sections of Indian politicians, coupled with the embittered communal history of the land, seems to shake the edifice of Indian democracy. Repeated attacks on the "freedom and existence" of minorities in India, unless effectively checked, pose not only a challenge to democracy, but also a threat to the existence of minorities.

The Bitter Sweet Story of Indian Muslims Besides the ceremonial or celebrity status, Indian Muslims occupy a prominent space in the electoral landscape; not as influential leaders, but as a vote bank, in reserve, for the secularist political parties. However, the "feel good" situation from these occasional prominences does not last long because the majority of India's Muslims have long been suffering -- quite severely so -- economically politically, and socially.

Redefining the Poverty Line: An Indian Perspective Since the very definition of the National Poverty Line in India has been questioned by many, including the Supreme Court of India in April 2011, it needs to be redefined.

Indian BPL Census 2011: Its Irrelevance and Futility? At its present format, without the necessary modifications in the definitions of "who is a poor" and "who can be considered as socio-economically backward," the census does not promise much in terms of effectiveness to determine the socioeconomic backwardness of the people.
