Responsibilities of educated Muslims 6

  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.

We human beings become victim of circumstances or ideology and sometimes are carried too far by our Ideals and thus we become unlawful or inhuman in eyes of State or Society but in reality we were not so.

The Laws, Courts, Police, Intelligence or Army do their jobs but sometimes they do what should not have been done – a Healing Touch is required therefore Kings, Queens and Presidents have power to overrule what should not be done.

In current situation, we have examples of Sanjay Dutt, Colonel Purohit, Sadhvi Pragya and of Maya Kodnani.

The circumstances are such that Under World and Bollywood are very close to each other along with Shiv Sena. This closeness took lives of Divya Bharti, Gulshan Kumar and Sanjay was arrested for possessing some weapon given to him by some friend in Bollywood.

India suffered terrorist attacks in hands of Pak sponsored terrorism. Some Hinduttava organization decided to do similar attacks to teach lessons to Muslims or to pro-Muslim pseudosecular government thus they got blinded by their ideology and themselves went against law, humanity and nation.

Godhra train bogies carrying Karsewaks got fire killing about 60 innocent persons. This was interpreted as done by Muslims and so teach lessons to Muslims the State government got blinded by ideology and orchestrated riots and one minister a woman and a lady doctor Maya Kodnani herself led the mob of killers, arsonists and rapists.

Such people did crimes against humanity and nation and they are not going to be hanged because they belong to majority community and of course nobody should be hanged and each case must be studied by psychologists and sociologists and persons must be dealt with mercifully and rehabilitated if they are no more danger to society.

The circumstances during last phase of British rule were such that some youths turned revolutionaries. Bhagat Singh and his companions are said to have killed Sanders and threw a bomb in assembly. They were hanged and it was expected that if Gandhi had pleaded their lives had been saved but Gandhi did not plead because perhaps all Indian politicians thought it better that they be executed. Mysterious things happened with Subhash Chandra Bose. Chandra Shekhar Azad when surrounded by police he came to Nehru in Anand Bhawan to seek his help but Nehru did not oblige and so Azad returned and shot himself dead. For revolutionary activities, some youths robbed train carrying treasury at Kakori, they were caught and hanged.

 All these persons were carried far by their Ideals. There should have been mercy to them.
