A systematic study of the Holy Qur’an-3 Once we are convinced that God is the only sovereign in the universe and that the will bestowed on man is limited, it follows that man, with his vastly limited knowledge and capability, is bound to err in his judgments.

The global system revolves around what I call “Economic Fundamentalism”, and the economic fundamentalists are less interested in preventing problems and more keen to manage them.

But Hindu leaders made constitutional provisions in their favour more out of the fear of Muslims beating them in numbers rather than out of any real love for Dalits.
