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.
Since 1947, India has become play ground of two
evil factors :
1. Conspiracies by Hinduttava elements
2. Muslim orthodoxy and fanaticism
Both are reinforcing each other but both factors
may make both communities modern and enlightened too.
I tried to tell that since 1857 when masses chose to
rally under Muslim kings, nawabs and talluqadars and British took vengeance
against such Muslim elite, the educated Hindus started hate campaign against
Muslims and helped British in their divide and rule policy – all sorts of lies
were included in history. No doubt some Muslim rulers were fanatic or under
pressure from imported Muslim clergies they coerced people to embrace Islam and
imposed Jaziya the large number of Muslim rulers adopted policy of tolerance
and it is also true tolerant spiritual Mughal princes – Khusro and Dara had to
suffer because of their humane approach but much may be fabrications by
Hinduttava and British interpolations in history.
The Hinduttava groups finally organized themselves in
form of RSS founded by Dr Hedgewar in 1925. Congress was founded in 1886.
Muslim League was founded in 1906 by wealthiest Ismaeli Muslim religious
minority Aga Khan. Historians must trace this period from 1857 to 1947.
Hinduttava forces had to relinquish their stand in
matter of suttee, child marriage, devdasi, widows remarriage and education of
women but they are not ready to surrender their last citadel – caste
inequality.
After Independence, they had to agree for Reservations
to Dalits for political reasons and possibility of their conversion to Islam or
Christianity under banner of Ambedkar – and Buddhism was no problem for them
and Ambedkar and some Dalits embraced Buddhism.
After Partition disturbances settled, Muslims remained
victims of time to time riots but probably number of Muslims killed to this
date is not more than 15000 and perhaps more Muslims had been killed in
Bangladesh by Pak army and Jamaate Islami and many times more have been killed
by Talibans, Al Qaeda and ISIS.
But what is more painful is reluctance of Police and
Administration to provide protection to victims or to help those who are under
such threats as happened with Ehsan Jafri MP in Gujarat and government’s
inaction on inquiry report from 1947 to this date or giving clean chit to
perpetrators of riots by inquiry commissions or setting them free by courts and
even assistance and protection and encouragements to rioters and organizers of
riots by Police, administration and government as happened in Mumbai and
Gujarat and even giving state funeral to architect of Mumbai riots or bringing the architect of Gujarat riots to
the highest post.
But even then, nobody is in reality enemy of Muslims
as all these politicians and persons were distressed by execution of Bhutto,
arrest of Nawaz Sharif and assassination of Benazir Bhutto. The architect of
Mumbai riots was friend of Dilip Kumar and other eminent Muslims and his
physician was a Muslim. Once Dilip Kumar opposed agitation against film Fire
depicting Lesbianism then this man sent his Sainiks to go in front of Dilip’s
residence and perhaps to do sodomy there and then his Sainiks collected there
and took off their shirts. This was a teasing of one friend by other.
The architect of Gujarat is now meeting with heads of
Muslim States and embracing them and went to Pakistan to have tea with Pak PM.
Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, Shahnawaz Khan and many Muslims
have married daughters of families of top BJP and VHP leaders.
In a party hosted by Sahara, Togadia was already
present and as Abdulla Bukhari entered he rushed and embraced him !
Then what is reality ? These anti-Muslim people are in
reality hate Backwards and Dalits and fear their dominance and so they raise
anti-Muslim bogey and attack a few Muslims to keep Backwards and Dalits in
their fold. The educated Dalits are more politically awakened and they are
slipping away from their grips. The Backwards are not politically awakened to
such an extent and have Muslim phobia and Dalit phobia and are unable to
understand real situation. The architects of Mumbai and Gujarat both belong to
Backwards section and are loyal to Manuvadis – they accept superiority of
Sawarns and feel obliged with welcome gestures from them but are unable to give
same welcome gesture to Dalits.
The Reservations are eye sore of Sawarns and this time
they could succeed in bringing some Backwards and Dalits to power who may
oblige them by terminating Reservations. This is Manuvadis latest political
game.
The reality is whatever be their religion, 15 % in
India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are same ruling elite and 85 % are backwards and
oppressed who are incited to fight and remain divided.
