Responsibilities of educated Muslims 8

  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.

The historians must answer why there was no 1857 like rebellion against 800 years of Muslim dominance and why it was so widespread against British in 1857 ?

The 4000 years of social inequality  and exploitation and all inhuman practices like suttee, devdasi, child marriage, exclusion of widows and even child sacrifice continued unhindered under protection of Muslim rulers.

The British intervened and so rebellion was hatched against them through conspiracy and propaganda as we still see in practices of Sanghis : Muslims were told new cartridge to be opened by chewing contains pork fat and Hindus were told it contains beef pork.

The masses rebelled mostly under leadership of Muslim elite – kings, nawabs, landlords and under some such Hindu elite. At this crucial juncture, many Muslim elite were betrayed by Hindu elite who switched their loyalties to British. This aspect of rebellion must be studied by Historians.

Finally British won and themselves or counseled by Hindu wise groups found Muslims main guilty. In consequence, large number of Muslim elite were hanged.

In this aftermath, persons like Sir Syed thought it proper not to confront British and advance in education and he opposed Muslims joining Congress.

The Hinduttava section emerged that thought if British left and power went back to Muslims it will be worse and so those among them who were once against British returned to Hinduttava fold and spread hate propaganda against Muslims and finally Sangh was born.

Jinnah was secular and nationalist and was not religious- he married a Parsi lady, lived like an English man and ate pork and drank.

The Hinduttava hate campaign and same feelings he sniffed in many Congressmen and he feared the fate of community under Hinduttava dominance.

He demanded Pakistan but no one had any forethought of separate country – everyone thought of Muslim autonomous state under one united country and therefore East and West two provinces were thought of.

Jinnah was responsible for his call of Direct Action Day – it was failure of some naïve person surrounded by cunning friends in Congress and British government. The Hinduttava elements thought it better to exclude Muslim leadership and so country was partitioned with its horror and Jinnah said Pakistan was his blunder. His secularism was killed before his eyes in Pakistan that turned into a military fascist state with Punjabi Sunni dominance where no other people – Hindus, Christians, Ahmadiyas, Shias are safe while architect of Pakistan himself was Ismaeli Shia . The ruling Punjabi Sunni elite is using tribal against minorities as Hinduttava brigade in India is using a section of backwards in form of Shv Sainiks, Bajrang Dal and Ram Sena against minorities and secular people in India.
