Common code

S Raguraman

This refers to the article, “The minority-majority unending debate” (February 2) by A Surya Prakash. The ideal solution to avoid all confusions related to majority-minority is to abolish special privileges based on religion and caste.

In 1947, India became a democracy, which meant that every Indian should be treated equally. Why should anyone get more privilege than othersIJ It is this special privilege, enjoyed by certain sections in this so-called secular/caste-less democracy that is creating problems. All special privileges, including reservations in jobs and educational institutions should be abolished. There should be a common code for all religions.
