For the Minority Communities Reserve 15 % of all the posts in the central and state governments (10% for Muslims* + 5% for other minorities) * Muslims comprise 71% among all Minorities

Mishra Commission Report Para , page 153 We are convinced that the action recommended by us above will have full sanction of Article 16(4)

Yet, should there be any insurmountable difficulty in implementing this recommendation, as an alternative, we recommend as follows: According to Mandal Commission Report, the minorities constitute 8.4% of total OBCs. Hence, in the 27% OBC quota the corresponding percentage should be reserved for Minorities. (with an internal break-up for Muslims)

Among the Muslims of India the concepts of Zat (caste) and Arzal (lower caste) are very much in practice. Even the Muslim law of marriage recognizes the Doctrine of Kufw - parity in marriage between the parties in all vital aspects including the social status and descent - which in this country means nothing but caste.

Para 3 of the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order 1950 which originally restricted the Scheduled Caste net to Hindus and later opened it to Sikhs and Budhists, thus still excluding from it's purview the Muslims, Christians, Jains, Parsis etc - should be wholly deleted by appropriate action so as to completely Delink the Scheduled Caste status from religion and make the Scheduled Caste net fully religion-neutral like the Scheduled Tribes.

By the force of judicial decisions in the interest of national integration, The minority intake in minority educational institutions has been restricted to about 50%. Thus virtually earmarking the remaining 50% or so for the majority community. By the same analogy and with the same purpose, we strongly recommend that At least 15% seats in all non-minority educational institutions should be earmarked by law for the minorities.
