"We are not only a class elite, but also a Muslim elite that ravages this country and renders all others as shadow citizens. From the Vested Property Act onwards, there are laws, understandings, social norms, politics and quiet discrimination that have rendered our Hindu, Christian, Buddhist, Adivasi (Aboriginal), and Pahari (Hill) citizens as sub-human—frozen out of schools, jobs, politics, culture, and lived life."
