Mr. Khalid, please make ur GK strong enough to pass any comments. India doesn't have a hindu government, the country is a secular one. Secondly, the representation depends on the quality and calibre of ones persona. The muslims of India are mostly illiterate and obssessed with religion like u and neglect basic education. So with this background they can only represent a terrorist gang like SIMI and other numerous Al- x,y,z but never a party or a government. Request u to please look into the hindu reprentation in bangladesh.

In matter of fact, it is no new concept, the concept was conceived by the Muhammad Ali Jinnah ( The Liberator Or Quiad-e-Azam) in the early years of the freedom movement. If I am not wrong so; perhaps in 1935 prior to election of constituent assembly , Muhammad Ali Jinnah introduced the idea of separate electons
to give voice to the minorities in the constituent assemblies to safe guard their rights under colonial rule.

Ironically, he was elected on a BJP ticket(a party usually perceived as pro-Hindu) from a constituency which has over 70% muslims.

Again, in the larger context, you have a point, since Mr.Hussain is the 'sole' representative from the minority Muslim community in the Indian Parliament, (as against 3 Christian representatives). This is certainly a case of low parity, but at the same time we should keep in mind that the present Indian Government is headed by a pro-hindutva forces, and naturally the majority of the muslims have voted for the opposition candidates. So my point is that this is more a case of variation in representation depending on the incumbent government. India has seen adequate representation of muslims in the ministry in the past, and so will we see a much better representation, come next elections and a new Government is sworn in.

Representation means not only representation in govenment but also in all governmental institution, such as police, Military, air force, educational and vocational institutions etc.
