Indian Muslims are very unfortunate in one sense - they do not have a leader who is going to lead them into enlightenment and into an "India first" state of mind. Their leaders tend to be either the islamofascist mullahs or extremely liberal or political demagogues (the kind who are keeping them in their pockets as votes). There are no Vivekanandas in the Muslim community.
Mr. Shahabuddin should have been the kind of leader I am talking about. He is a very educated man, well versed in diplomacy being an ambassador. However, he also showed his true colors when the Indian Supreme Court ruled for Mrs. Shah Bano and against her husband. He and O K Azmi formed the AIMPLB to defend the Muslim personal law instead of trying to integrate the Muslims in the mainstream. This is the case where the notorious SIMI also agitated against the ruling. I am not implying that Mr. Shahabuddin is part of the SIMI but ideologically, they definitely seemed to be joined at the hip.
Now this man is trying to get the week kneed UPA govt. to enforce the highly prejudicial Sachar Committee recommendations. So essentially, he wants the Indian government and the society to leave the Muslims alone but when it come to an unfair share of the pie, he is right there demanding special privileges for the Muslims. Don't you see the irony here?? With these kind of leader who instill nothing but victimhood, Indian Muslims will never be part of the mainstream Indian society.
The Shah Bano Case
"The orthodox Muslims in India felt threatened by what they perceived as an encroachment of the Muslim Personal Law, and protested loudly at the judgement. Their spokesmen were Muslim community leaders Obaidullah Khan Azmi and Syed Shahabuddin. They formed an organization known as the All India Muslim Personal Law Board and threatened to agitate in large numbers in all major cities. The then Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, bowed to their demands and cited the gesture as an example of secularism".

"Shahabuddin said that since the release of the Sachar Committee Report two years ago, the Indian government "has started implementing one of its many recommendations -- that is, it has started giving scholarships to a large number of Muslim students to help them acquire a college education. This is a good sign, and the Muslims have to build on it for further help from the government."
