"Muslim headcount in Indian army..."
Praful Bidwai's Article "Muslim headcount in Indian army: Hypocrisy or misconceived fears?" in The Daily Star of February 27, 2006 touches on some important points on how the political and military leaders of India can improve that country's military in terms of proper representations of all religious and ethnic groups that constitute today's India. The article clearly deserves to be published and talked about in Indian newspapers.
For a Bangladeshi readership would it not be more relevant for someone to talk about the miserable condition of the representations of religious minorities in the armed forces of Bangladesh? I hope Mr. Bidwai's critical article on the Indian military would encourage Bangladeshi journalists to do honest analyses on why their country's military has such a pathetic and record on recruiting from the minority communities.
