Civic Nationalism strives for Equal Opportunity.
Communism strives for Equal Outcome.
When we say " the same per capita income", let us, at least, be honest. We are striving for communism via Equal Outcome, aren't we?
No offence. Nothing wrong with being a communist. But, at least, let us be an honest communist rather than a dishonest one. |
Its not merely a question of being communist, just hearin that term makes me want to vomit, not that i dont think this system may eventually work in 1000 years or so but i start to smell the China loving commies in our Govt...
As I was saying, it is the responsability of the Indian govt to make sure that the GINI coefficient is as close to the 45 degree line as possible Now in terms of minorities, we all know why there is a growing gap between Hindus and Muslims in India, Muslim women are not working is a big one but the govt still has a responsabnility to minimize this by offering incentives. Now the role of the Govt, it can be argued, is to maximize social welfare and giving the minorities a lending hand is one such example. You cannot change primitive religious beliefs and cultures overnight, we cannot force Muslim/Hindu/Sikh/scheduled cast, you mame it to change their beliefs but it is the responsability of the govt to try as hard as possible to get school enrollmet by such "disadvantaged groups" as high as possible by any means.
Eventually as the country evolves and people get more educated, we wont need to give seats to someone because of religion or sex. It will be given by merit. you may argue that the private sector has the right to folow such a mantra but the Govt and Govt subsidized istitutions have a responsability towards welfare maximization. This is not only done in India but in other parts of the world as well and it really ticks everyone off.
