In Sixties it was totally out of question. You don't know what attitude was in 65. Muslims were cowed minority. Openly threatened to go Pakistan. Many educated people left in despair.<br />Salvation for Indian Muslims was only because Nehru family could trust loyalists. But this also created jealousy and fueled anti-Muslim sentiment among High Castes. <br />Rahul Gandhi has stressed merit as basis for selection. He has long term plan to make meritocratic party. By all means, let young Muslims compete on merit basis for seats. No one has any objection. However, to aim for PM office is lunacy. If Rahul chooses meritorious Muslim candidates, community will unite behind him. He can win big next time. Modi wave is due to split Muslim vote and Money power only. Muslims should gather resources. Give political training. Invest in TV channel, Social Media etc. One matter you are right- younger generation must step up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
