Madrassas to be made equivalent to CBSE, what next?!

So the RSS has come out against the Central government's move to make madrassa certificates equivalent to the CBSE. This is yet another move by Arjun Singh to cash in on minority appeasement. This, to say the least, is playing with fire.
Soon you will be going for proportional representation in Parliament, and the way this kind of appeasement is being carefully calibrated, no one is going to say anything against it, too.
How can madrassas, which mostly teach the Koran and Shariah and are mostly run on a curriculum developed by that bigot Mughal Aurganzeb, be n thought to be equivalent to the CBSE syllabus? That question would beat any thinking, rational individual, but not crafty politicians like Arjun Singh, who will do everything to hold on to power.
The insidious nature of this kind of politics is evident from the fact that no one other than the RSS wants to oppose it owing to the fear of being seen as politically incorrect.
And no one is raising the corollary question either: if Christians and Muslims can have their own board exams in secular India, why not the Hindus? Is it a punishment for being a majority in this country?
Islamic terrorism and fundamentalism have thrived in India just because of these self-serving politicians. But I can see a glimmer of hope now. Post-Mumbai terror attacks, people are raising their voices. And sooner or later, these parasite politicians will be washed away in the anger that is welling up.
