This issue comes up after Bollywood actor Emran Hashmi has made allegations against an upscale housing society in Mumbai. Hashmi alleges he was refused a house in Mumbai's Nibbana Cooperative Society allegedly because he is a Muslim.

I stayed few years ago in an appartment in Hyderabad where all religious folks stay and my experiance is disturbing. We had no choice, and like a typical secular Indian, stayed on.

And I now stay in an appartment in Bangalore where one religion folks stay togather, governed by elderly people running the appartment administration and I must say that I am at peace within the community. Calm, respect neighbours, clean, excellent security, great quality of people, matured. I stay in Pramuk Temple Medows at Banasankari 2nd Stage. Fantastic appartment. I you ever want to buy an appartment take this as a model appartment.

But I suggest you to take an appartment away from noisy, rouge religious practises of using loud speakers and disturbing neighbours. Irrespective of religion.

The Kashmiri Hindus have been made refugees in a country dominated by Hindus.No Channel or POLITICAL party even the so CALLED Shiv Sena OR the BJP hailed as the SAVIOUR of Hindus HAS BOTHERED even to RAISE the Issue .Sucsessive Govt HAVE NOT bothered to High Light the Issue BECAUSE Hindus all OVER THE country ARE selfish AND NOT bothered of the plight of Hindus in Kashmir.This is the MAIN reason that as India Over the AGES have been able to launch an attack any neighbouring Country it is not amatter pride but Shame

I was waiting for such initiative from CNN long time back. Yes I have been refused for home not by any society but my countrys govt. I have not been able to find one home for last 20+ years. can you do anything for me? I'm a normal Kashmiri Pandit like thousands of others who are facing this issue. We are living in tents in such a horrible condition that most of us have lung diseases now. Can you help me or are you gonna turn my request down just coz I'm not from your own crafted minority ?

Once when i went in search of a house for rent in bangalore i came across a house owner with whom i discussed the rent and finalized every thing.In the end he asked my mobile number and as he was saving his number he asked me my name.when i told him my name is zameer ahmed immediately he said "we wont give our house for rent to muslims" and hearing that i felt isolated in my own country.This was an embarassing moment to me when he said this in front of everyone.I felf,as a muslim what harm i have done to him or what harm or what damage will i do after renting his house.Even the most educated people are showing this type of discrimination based on religion.

it has not happened to me personally as i never needed a rented house but i do believe that its a fact,a reality.it happens to so many people so many times.there are communal passions flared up by politicians for their own gains.they create a divide in the society and instill hatred amongst countrymen for their own peety gains.so in my view people being denied houses becauses of their religion is a side effect of the indian politics.

This Question "Have you been denied accommodation because of your religion?" is vague and should not be an objective type as put by your esteemed channel. This question should be positioned like, "Is there discrimination on religion line to get or allot accommodation by so called Housing Society??" We have gone through this report, seen on channels and came to know that even Shabana Azmi-Javed Akhter duo and Aamir Khan has been faced this problem forget Emraan Hashmi. Shabana, Aamir Khan and Javed Akhter are the legends of our Bollywood Cinema in their own right. All of them set a new standard in acting and writing. Yes as usual we will get many a version and many a debate on it but ARE WE LIVING IN A FREE AND TRUE SECULAR SOCIETY??? On record, paper or channel you find no any discrimination on religion or caste line but in reality it's rampant and shamelessly pursued by our secular and progressive society. We are talking discrimination/Racism and condemning Australia and other western countries but where we are standing right now??? It's matter of great concern and if it's true then shame on us and our so called progressive and elite society.

This is complete nonsense. Media hype as usual...This is not the first time and this is not the last time that people like him make such rubbish allegations after thriving in this nation....
I hope this debate forum is closed because it is not even worth debating about.
