Responsibilities of educated Muslims 4

  The educated Muslims have historical responsibility at this crucial juncture. The Muslim community has been failed by clergies and communal leaders who pushed the community to the wall and made it vulnerable to attacks by paranoid elements.

India is a democratic, pluralistic, multiregional, multilingual country but unfortunately its politicians have degenerated democracy into electoral politics and divided the country into vote banks.

 No doubt 15% Indians belonging to Brahmans, Thakurs, Vaishys and Kayasths are nice people but they are fortunate that no politician is going to incite them.

First were Muslims in undivided India, Jinnah an Ismaeli Shia became protagonist of separate homeland for Muslims though sustained anti-Muslim propaganda by RSS and Hindu organizations were threat to Muslims stay in India and it is said Madan Mohan Malviya reserved separate pots to serve food to Jinnah in dinner hosted by him as Congress President. Muslims became threatened by Hinduttava propaganda. The country was divided. Muslims were pleaded and allowed to stay in secular India but there was a deeper politics too because of Dalits awakening under Ambedkar. The Reservations to Dalits were given to keep them under Hindu fold otherwise they would have become Muslim, Christian or Buddhist and thus reducing to minority. Again if all Muslims had gone to Pakistan along with more land according to their population, the Backwards caste had power in their hands. Thus Congress politics of siding with Muslims and Dalits is instrumental in bringing Brahmans, Thakurs, Vaishys and Kayasths to real power.

After Muslims, politicians put South against North by imposing Hindi but had to withdraw and thus India could be saved from vivisection and this is not impossible in future if politicians are not restrained.

Then Sikhs were incited. Meanwhile after birth of Bangladesh, Pakistan intervened forcefully to incite Kashmiris.

Now Telengana, Gujjars, NE, Jats, Hill areas of UP, Adivasis all have been incited by politicians for separate State or reservations and some have succeeded.
