Responsibilities of educated Muslims 14

 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.

Thus Hinduttava was taking shape from 1803 onwards when British took steps against inhuman practices and English educated Aryan elite started opposing these British actions.\

1. BG Tilak started his career as opponent of health measures to control plague and then transformed into nationalist leader.

2. Ishwar Chandra Vidhyasagar appealed the British to keep education confined to Bhadrlog. It means to exclude Backwards and Oppressed from Universal Education.

3. MK Gandhi supported unjust caste system and opposed compulsory education.

 M.K. Gandhi in his Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule, writes in 1909, “The ordinary meaning of education is knowledge of letters. To teach boys reading, writing and arithmetic is called primary education. A peasant earns his bread honestly. He has ordinary knowledge of the world. But he cannot write his own name. What do you propose to do by giving him a knowledge of letters? Will you add an inch to his happiness?....it is not necessary to make this education compulsory. Our ancient school system is enough..... We consider your modern school to be useless.” 

Then MK Gandhi became messiah of Untouchables and became Father of Nation. We should ask him can a farmer get loan or get his crop insured safely without knowledge of letters?

Ishwar Chandra Vidhyasagar and M.K. Gandhi were persons whom I understood as most enlightened persons of previous generation in my childhood.

I want to stress that enlightenment, secularism, socialism, Marxism  and democracy are just mask in modern times and underneath each mask you will find a manuvadi wolf.

4. Manu Smriti is available on Internet Sacred Archives.

5. The writings of  MS Golwalkar, RSS Ideologue, are on the website  http://www.golwalkarguruji.org/   and show how he starts from modern values and gradually brings credulous people to Indian version of Nazism.
