HOW DO MUSLIMS FARE IN TELANGANA?



The condition of the Telangana Muslim is exemplified by these charts. It only proves that even five centuries of Muslim rule has not done much for Muslims as a whole. 

That is because the Muslim upper class has traditionally been foreign and the Deccan converts were mostly from the Hindu lower castes escaping Hindu upper caste oppression. The distribution of complexions tells the story quite vividly. 

The plight of the Telangana Muslim probably means that Muslim dominated feudalism was more rapacious? The lower layers still predominate. 

The difference between the old Asaf Jahi and the present day system is that more Hindus have moved to the upper layers.  During Osman Ali Khan’s period out of the 1411 civil servants as many as 1100 were Muslims. That order has been reversed now. The undeniable fact is that Muslim feudalism was just as rapacious as Hindu majority rule.

Building a nation requires immense effort and sacrifice — and Nehru demonstrated both through his life. His life stands as an ideal not just for the older generation, but for today's youth and generations yet to come. I hold this belief firmly. He was a visionary, an atheist, a rationalist — but setting all of that aside, there is one thing that must be spoken of without fail: Scientific Temper .

This phrase is now used globally, and people must remember that it was Nehru who gave us those words. The Roots of Scientific Thought in India Did scientific temper begin with Nehru? Not quite. India was actually home to the world's earliest materialists. It was India tha...

Unveiling the "Real Majority" of India

Unveiling the "Real Majority": Divya Dwivedi’s Critique of the Hindu Majority Narrative * In contemporary Indian discourse, the notion of a "Hindu majority" is often taken as an unassailable fact, with official statistics frequently citing approximately 80% of India’s population as Hindu. This framing shapes political campaigns, cultural narratives, and even national identity. However, philosopher and professor at IIT Delhi, Divya Dwivedi, challenges this narrative in her provocative and incisive work, arguing that the "Hindu majority" is a constructed myth that obscures the true social composition of India. For Dwivedi, the "real majority" comprises the lower-caste communities—historically marginalized and oppressed under the caste system—who form the numerical and social backbone of the nation. Her critique, developed in collaboration with philosopher Shaj Mohan, offers a radical rethinking of Indian society, exposing the mechanisms of power t...

How Brahmin and Upper‑Caste Groups Tend to Benefit Under the Current Political and Social Landscape

Domain Typical Benefits for Brahmin / Upper‑Caste Groups Why These Benefits Matter Political Influence • Higher representation in elected offices, party leadership, and bureaucracy. • Access to influential networks within the BJP and allied organizations.

Economic power translates into political donations, lobbying capacity, and the ability to fund private schools or coaching institutes that further entrench advantage. Education & ...
