The difficulties in covering India by putting black people in the same category as Muslim minority in India, its an easy analogy to present to minorities and whites in the U.S. conscious of race riots and civil rights, but very misleading. Muslims in India maybe 14% of the population but looked at South Asian region they are a significant part of the population, beyond the period following partion into India and Pakistan in 1947 to today, a period of 66 years compared to eight centuries of living side by side with many Muslim rulers and dynasties during some periods and in some regions. During the British period from the 18th century to 1947 Muslims did poorly as science and technological progress left poorer Muslims and lower Hindu castes behind. Tiny minority communties such as the Parsees ( the Tata Group) did extremely well. Receptivity to western education and science, and the English language was a key factor for progress. India's constitution made great efforts under Gandhi and Nehru to provide equal rights to minorities and lower castes. In the process Nehru's party, the Indian National Congress took up the cause of Muslims. Yet in the period that followed for six decades the Congress party was not able to make large improvements for the Muslim communities in large northern states such as Uttar Pradesh. It has come under criticism for using the Muslim communities as a voting bloc, but stuck in underdevelopment without action from Congress to make large improvements. The Bharatiya Janata Party first made it to power under the leadership of prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee. Under Vajpayee the government maintained peaceful race relations. He was critical of Modi's failure to take strong action to stop race riots in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
