Who will bell the cat?

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

P. C. Chidambaram’s saffron terrorism remark angered BJP, RSS and its followers. BJP has an objection on association of terrorism to particular organization.

BJP, which has long history in blaming whole Muslim community and calling Muslim areas in term of an epicenter of ISI and terrorism, is now objecting on the term which is being delivered by them against Muslim community for long times.

There are two things should be clear to everyone. One of them is associating terrorism to particular community. And second one is terrorism of Hindutva.

Muslims, Ulema and other Muslim leaders have been demanding for long times of not linking terrorism to particular community, groups or religion.

Their repeatedly demand leaved unheard. Nobody was ready to address their pain and agitations. Everyone was seeing them as liars and cheaters. BJP and its followers were working to add more fuel in it. The result finally ended with the arrest of hundreds of Muslim boys.

In spite of acquitting most of them a large number of Muslim boys still are languishing in Jails and no one knows that when their pain will reach to an end and when they will be freed.

As for existence of terrorists in Muslim community, it has been proven many times of Muslim youth’s implication in false terror cases. Acquitting most of them by the courts in various states where they had been arrested is a big example of their innocence.

The latest example of this one can be seen in Gujarat where nine people acquitted by a local court.

Unfortunately, innocent Muslim youth’s arrest has been seen as a mater of security of the country, while doing bomb blasts, making bombs and placing it in Muslim areas in the garb of Muslim’s identity by Hindutva cadres not taken as a matter of country’s security by the police nor state and central government. It is seen just an incident happens everywhere.

This term, when it was being associated to Muslims and was being called Islamic terrorism, jihadists and Jihadism was colorful.

BJP, its allied functionaries and their followers in Media, security agencies and in other government run-offices were busy very seriously in blaming Islam and Muslim community for every single and pity incident related to terrorism whether it is false. It was their great work. No one can deny their role in maligning Muslim community.

BJP’s hue and cry over P C. Chidembram‘s statement on saffron terrorism is an effort to cover their terrorism. If today terrorism has no color except black, as congress clarified with fear of vote bank politics, then why it was silent on Islamization of this term when majority of them were blaming to Muslim community.

Today, when the term saffron terrorism or Hindu terrorism is being called, BJP disrupted Parliament. It used immoral ways to express their objection on associating terrorism to Hindutva groups. News channels office vandalized. At last, it tried to play its old and very important card saying that it is the insult of Hindu nation.

Modi, who has lost moral right to stay as chief Minister of Gujarat, where a large number of Indian citizens most of them Muslims had been beheaded, encountered and where the Indian constitution was being paralyzed and where all doors of justice had been closed on Muslims and where a majority of Muslim youths putted into jail, says that Prime Minister should apologize for only a remark, though he forgets that his hand is colored with the blood of innocent Muslims.

As for associating the term terrorism to any community, Muslims’ views are very clear from the first day that this term should not be linked to any particular community or religion. There are no differences of all Muslims in and outside of India.

The second thing is itself terrorism of Hindutva. Can BJP deny its role in damaging India’s communal harmony? Can BJP deny that various Hindutva groups as an organization or as an individual is not involved in any bomb blast? Can BJP deny that those activists and workers who had been killed during making bombs were not belonging from organizations are associated with them?

BJP itself is an accused in Babri Masjid demolition case and in so much communal violence.

Dangerousness of these attacks carried out by Hindutva activists can be understand that every attack not only placed at Muslim religious places but also used Muslims’ identity and leaved at the site of the attacks, the proofs to indicate Muslim’s involvement.

Spreading hatred, producing gulf, brainwashing uneducated Hindu youths and inciting them against particular community is very old and common game of such organizations.

Challenging court orders, raping constitutions, defying court orders, stopping police and administration form doing their jobs and using religious sentiments to achieve their hateful aim is very interested task of them.

Their aim, objectives and task is very destructive. Their emergence and supporting them in their destructive role is very harmful to India’s security and its integrity.

No doubt that their network is very strong and their hand is very long. Their political social and religious groups are active on every corner to check what is happening there and how they can protect themselves from the grip of law. Their work is very old. Their communal minded people are very strong.

Every Indian who sees first India’s security unable to prove Muslim’s role in any bomb blast. Acquitting of Muslim boys by the court in charges of terror and waging the war against India is a biggest proof.

The failure of Police and security enforcers in proving their crime shows clearly that their mind was set only against Muslims.

BJP banned SIMI when it was leading NDA government at center. Court acquitted this organization from the charges labeled against it. There are a large number of cases, in which Muslims came out clean but their precious and most important moments of their life ruined by BJP’s communal politics.

However, Saffron organizations were involved in violence from the first day and now, they are involved in making bombs and doing bomb blasts.

They used Indian army and hire retired Indian officers and personals to include them in their destructive project.

Can BJP deny above things?

Fair investigation of some terrorist attacks confirms the role of Hindutva brigades while other attacks are in need to be investigated honestly not as a matter of Hindus and Muslims but for the sake of India’s integrity and its security.

At last, Question here is, Are Indian citizens ready to accept Hindutva terrorism and their communal project? Can India survive with existence of such destructive objectives? Are Hindutva’s protection is most important than India’s security?

How long saffron organization will get free hand in bringing bad name to the country? Today or tomorrow it will be come into discussion and every Indian will be forced to think on that point.

Right to Education bill 2009 and Muslim’s concern

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

There is no doubt over avails of this law. It provides right to get education for the children between from 6 to 14 years of age.

If we take a look on this law, it clears central government's intention in educating every child whether he is from tribal cast or from minority communities.

According to this law, government will take all responsibilities of education of the 6 to 14 year old children

Muslim community's children can make bright their future under this law. According to it, government will make arrangement and will make sure in providing education to every child.

In spite of appreciating government's move in eliminating the illiteracy from the country, this bill is a killer of Minority community's institutions and their schools.

Surely, Muslim's Madarsas and their modern institutions will be affected more if it is accepted as it is without any amendment in it.

There are some points stated below show that how this law can affect Madrasas and the schools run by Muslims.

1. This law is silent on Madarsas, its education, syllabus and the students are studying there.

2. Government's approved education which is being taught in government's run schools or in government's affiliated schools, is acceptable only as stated in the adjectives of the Education in this bill. Such as, government’s approved and prepared syllabus will be acceptable only under this law.

Question arises here; will government accept the Madarsas syllabus? The education is being delivered in these Madrasas will be acceptable? What's the future of Madarsas students according to this law?

3. According to it, nobody can open schools without government's approval.

4. The adjectives and the conditions of schools are stated in this bill, Madrasas are unable to fulfill these conditions.

5. Those, who will violate it, will be punished, which is one lack rupee fine for the first time, after that they will be given three years to correct their mistakes, 10 thousand rupees fine every day if they do not follow government's guidelines.

6. According to it, other private schools, private Madrasas and private institutions run by Muslims will be closed automatically. Their independence work is unacceptable by this new law.

7. Government will prepare the syllabus and finalize that which kind of education to be taught in the schools. In that situation too, Muslims children will be deprived from their religious education. They cannot access to study and read their history.

8. This bill not only destroys Muslim's religious education system which is escalated over hundreds and thousands of years, but also forbid them to open their schools or Madarsas and teach there the syllabus prepared by them only.

In a conference held by Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind a few days ago, Mr. Kapil Sibbal had said that government will not interfere in Madarsas education. It is possible that current government will not obstruct in these institutions, however, is there guaranty that any next government in the garb of this law will not intrude in Madarsas education?

This bill has become a law now, is only assurance and guide lines can take the place of law? Or it can be accepted in the court if it challenged by anyone in the future?

Everyone knows that various governments have tried to take Madrasas in their control. This law facilitates of such efforts and provides a way within the law to stop Muslims from running the Madarsas.

In future, when Hindutva sympathizers will come in center, as we have experienced in past, how that government will approve it while these Madarsas are a big hurdle in their eyes from the beginning.

At last, the consequences of this bill are very dangerous looking towards country's current political systems.

If UPA government is honest in its work, then why is it hesitating in bringing amendment in the law to eliminate Muslims' doubts?

Current government can take any legal step to clear the air over rights of minority's education which is granted under section of 29 and 30.

Muslim leaders should have to oppose this law and try to convince the government over making amendment in it to escape from any puzzle of law by any state or central government in future over Minority's right of education and opening their schools and Madarsas.

القضية الفلسطينية والحوار المباشر

بقلم : عبد الحنان السيواني الندوي

أنا لأ استطيع أن أفهم أن كيف يريد بعض الدول العربية الحوار المباشر مع دولة صهيونية ومع أصدقاءها التي لم تتغير حتى هذه اللحظة مواقفها تجاه الفلسطين والقضية الفلسطينية.

السلطة الفلسطينية التي لن ترضى على إجراء التفاهمات بين الفصائل الفلسطينية، لكنها راضية للحوار والعودة إلى طاولة المفاوضات سواءً هي بلافائدة.

الحوار في ذاته مقبول ولا جدال فيه، لكن الحوار مع دولة ليست راضية على أي تنازل من مواقفها ومن إرادتها ، خال من أي نتائج مثمرة.

الحوار حيلة للصهاينة وأصدقاهءها في أوروبا وأمريكا والغرب ، الحوار وسلية لتضييع الأوقات.

إذا الحكومة الإسرائيلية والقيادة الأمريكية ترغب بجدية في الحوار مع الفلسطينيين فيجب عليها أولاً أن تدرس الأمور التي تسبب العرقلة في هذه المفاوضات.

الحوار المباشر أو المفاوضات غير المباشرة هذه فقط لعبة تلعب في الساحة الفلسطينية والأمريكية والإسرائيلية.

الجهود الحقيقية حتى الآن مفقودة لحل هذه القضية.

الدول العربية التي أعطت علامة خضراء لمحمود عباس لأن يمكن له أن يجري محادثات مباشرة ، في الحقيقة، هي نفسها لا تعلم أنها ماذا تفعل ، لديها معلومات قوية ومتأكدة أن هذا الحوار لن يصل إلى أي حل في هذا الجو الذي فيه إسرائيل تريد إستئناف المفاوضات المباشرة

هذه الدول العربية لا تريد لعب دورها بجدية وبجرآة بل أنها تريد دفع هذه التطورات إلى لعبة المفاوضات لكي قيل أنها راضية في أي مفاوضات سوءا هي مثمرة أم لا.

Muslims are the Predecessor of India

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi


The Muslim’s relation to India is as deep as an infant’s relation to his mother and both relations cannot be thrashed by any power of the world.

It is unfortunate of India that a nation which has spent its whole life in serving to India and sacrificed its government over India’s freedom and fought against British government till last drop of blood, is being called a “minority community” in today’s Independent India.

The Muslims, who represent a largest minority community in India, are very backward in education and in economics with the thanks of Indian government.

Interestingly, Muslims, who sowed India with their blood and during their role on India “there was complete social peace and harmony all over the country. This is aptly proved by the fact that history fails to produce even a single instance of communal disturbance which took place during the period of Muslim rule”, as Mr. Murtahin Billah Jasir Fazlie says, have named terrorist, their areas called epicenter of terrorism, their religious placed destroyed and bombed and they themselves faced violence, insecurity and pogrom.

The billion dollar question, can India be success in keeping its identity without Muslims and Islam? Muslims cannot be perfidious against their country. They can sacrifice their lives, they can see burning their homes with patience, but they cannot sell out their country to its enemy.

The Muslims are pouring their blood even today to the country. Are Mumbai riots, Gujarat pogrom, Malyana and Hashimpura carnage and fake encounters in Gujarat and in Delhi not an example of it?

It is a historical fact which cannot be rejected that India cannot survive without Muslims and vice versa. The secret of India’s development is hidden in Muslims. The development of Muslims in all fields is the development of India.

Is it not a shame for the country, that Prime Minister of India has nothing to give except assurance to the people of the nation which disinterestedly served for the country?

India is incomplete with Muslims. They are part and parcel of India that cannot be happy without it.

Indian’s history reveals Muslim’s relation with Hindus is as healthier as it was hundred years ago. These are the communal politics and there are the communal minded leaders who for silly aims sow the seeds of hatred between two communities as British government did during their occupation on India to divide and role.

The present picture of India is a debt of the Muslims who sacrificed their lives but never agreed to see divided India as it not only divided into two parts by some greedy politicians but also used all means to break it into peaces more and they are now trying to install a long religious gulf between two communities the generations to be needed to break it.

Muslims neither looted nor sold out an inch of land of India to any other. No doubt over Muslim’s conquered on India but it was not to stool India’s wealth and its money. It can be understood only for one incident happened to the people of Sindh when Mr. Mohammed Bin Qasim was leaving them. Mr. Mohammad Ataurrab writes:-

“When Muhammad bin Qasim was leaving the territories of Sind, tens of thousands of Muslims, Buddhists, and Bahamians came to bid farewell him with tears, and then wept blood upon hearing his death for his youngish, and in recognition of his heroic actions, and established a wonderful statue in the city of Alkerj in his memory, as a symbol of his jihad and as a slogan for his yeoman's service for the sake of Islam and humanity”.( Encyclopedia of Islamic history and Islamic civilization of the Sind and Punjab regions ( Today,s Pakistan)



…… “Non-Muslims also wept upon him, because he treated with them well, provided them safety and security and gave them freedom of worship” ( 44 Mohammad bin Qaism, the conquest, Ibid ,page no:34.)

Muslims and Hindus long relations in India show political leader’s role in dividing two communities on religious lines.

Muslims are not beggars who have been given reservation in beg. Muslims are not conquerors who have been sent to jail languishing there.

Muslims are not in need of any commission’s recommendations to get their rights in every field of life of this country.

It is a big treason to Muslims and to this country if Muslims to be deprived and their homes to be set on fire by some communal minded people while enforcers of country’s law only watch on them.

Government and Media have to bring changes in their attitude towards Muslims. Give them proper rights, provide them security and bring justice to them, because they are predecessors of their.

Only democratic means can solve the issue of Kashmir

By

Abdul Hannan Siwani Nadvi

From past few months, Jammu & Kashmir is on boil. Youths, elders, olds and women all are on roads. Demonstrations and protest is continue. Curfew, direct firing on mobs and killing young boys cannot stop them to come out to face the brutality of security forces.

The number of days is 5 and the numbers of killing are 27. All are killed in police firing. The toll arises every hour. Curfew is continue. Protests and anti-Indian slogans are on. Every killing increases more their anger against India. Jammu & Kashmir is in flame which is not set by terrorists; it is set by dummy government and by security forces.

Politicians, journalists and those writers, who got various awards for speaking truth, are silent on this situation.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has chaired various meetings and discussed on these developments. But the situation is worsening day by day.

Central and state government thinks that they will take the situation in their control by force. There is no question of firing or using forces because those who are demonstrating are unarmed people.

The police and government is treating with the people of Jammu and Kashmir as Israel does against Palestinians in Palestine.

Despite slapping curfews and blocking all ways of exits and entries, there is no sign of returning the situation towards normalcy. The publics are coming out on roads to register their demonstrations against the deaths of innocent youths are being killed in police firing.

Forces, police and CRPF are being placed there to security of the state and for protection of the citizens. If these security forces turn killer instead providing them protections, the finger arises towards them.

How is it democracy that people are not allowed to demonstrate and express their angers? How much youths and young boys have been sacrificed for this brutality?

We called ourselves an advocator of democracy. Our head goes up proudly when we say that we live in world's largest democratic country. How is it democracy which robs the freedom of the citizens who live within us?

How long police will fire the bullets directly on the mobs? How long, we will use excessive forces against unarmed civilians?

If we cannot bring their problems to an end, we never have the rights to murder them. It is said that people of Kashmir wants separation from India, by such killings we are giving the strength to their demands.

It is said proudly that talks and none-violence end all conflicts. Are we spreading none-violence movement in Kashmir? Which kinds of message we would like to send them? Are our political leaders and forces believe that firing on mobs and killing of young boys can bring any kind of success for us?

We claim proudly that we are the protectors of democracy and human rights. So how we can close our eyes and ears from the situation the people of Kashmir have been facing for past few months.

By such brutalities, we are near to lost a state. The people of Kashmir used their democratic rights to live peacefully with us, mishandling the situation and use of force giving them a chance to instigate the separation movement against India.

State and central government have to solve the conflict by democratic means. I hope that central and state governments would consider on this serious issue. Curfew, firing on protestors and using excessive force against civilians cannot be the part of solution.

إجتماع الدول العربية والتحديات

بقلم : عبد الحنان السيواني الندوي

إجتمع بعض الدول العربية في بيروت لمناقشة التطورات في المنطقة وإنهاء الخلافات بين الكتل السياسية في لبنان. هذا الإجتماع الذي فيه شاركت ملوك ورءساء البلدان العربية وافق على إيجاد سبل لمواجهة إسرائيل وإتخاذ اللازم لمواجهة التحديات التي قد هزت الشرق الأوسط.

هناك سؤال مهم ، ما هي الطرق لمواجهة إسرائيل، وما هي الوسائل الأخرى أمامها لمقابلة هذه التحديات؟ هل هذا يمكن بإنقعاد الإجتماع فقط؟ هل هذا يمكن بالكلام الذي لا تأثير له؟ هل هذا يمكن والدول العربية لا تحب أن تخرج من الشبكة التي جعلتها نفسها؟

هناك أمرين فقط. الدول العربية تفهم قلوبها أن ماذا يحدث هنا، وماذا تفعل إسرائيل و أمريكا كله سيصل إلى نهايته بالنفس، أم هي تخدع نفسها والأمة الإسلامية عن طريق هذا الإجتماع الذي فقد أثره.

هذا خارج عن نطاق الفهم أن كيف يتحدث العرب أنهم سيهزمون الإسرائيل وهم بعيدون من جميع الإجراءات التي تضيف القوة وتصبح ضامنا لحمايتهم.

إذا ننظر إلى الأوضاع في البلدان العربية فليس هناك أي أمل أن العرب في العقود القادمة سيكونون جاهزين لمواجهة التحديات المسلحة أمام القوى الكبرى.

أنعقاد الإجتماع، والحضور في المؤتمر ، وإلقاء الخطاب الجيد لن يمكن له أن يغير الوضع الحقيقي الذي يعيش فيه العرب.

وهذا الوضع يستمر من عقود في الدول العربية حيثما يجد المجتمع نفسه في السجن الذي لا حرية فيه ولا الإنسان قادر على إستخدام قوته أو أذهانه وعلمه في تطوير البلاد.

إذا البلدان العربية تريد أن تغير الوضع وتريد أن تواجه كل التحديات سواء هي وسائل الإعلام الغربي أم تحديات مسلحة فعليها أن تستعرض وضع بلادها ، وقدرة شعوبها ، وبعد ذلك تجهز نفسها بالمال والأسلحة والقوات الكبرى أو بأي طريقة تساعدها في هذا المجال لكنها إذا تفكر أنها تحصل كل شيئ بدون إعتراف هذه الحقيقة فهو سراب فقط ولا علاقة له بالحقيقة وبالحياة الواقعية.

الجماعات المسلحة والحروب

بقلم: عبد الحنان السيواني الندوي

في معظم البلدان المسلمة ، الجماعات المسلحة تنفذ الهجمات الانتحارية التي قتل فيها عشرات من الأبرياء والنساء والأطفال ، ورغم إصدار الفتاوى حول حرمتها، هذه الهجمات و اختطاف السياحيين والعمليات الانتحارية مستمرة وجارية.

وفي رد هذه الهجمات، قوات الحكومات المختلفة تنفذ عملياتها لمقاومة المسئولين مثل هذه الأحزاب.

هناك سؤال ، أن لماذا هذه الجماعات المسلحة تأخذ القانون بيدها؟ ولماذا هي تلجأ إلى الدمار وسفك الدماء الأبرياء.

علينا أن نبحث التطورات والواقعات التي تجبر شبابنا على رفع الأسلحة بيدهم وهم يلقون أنفسهم في التهلكة.

المشكلة هنا، أن الحكومات المختلفة ليست راضية على المحادثات وعلى كشف الأسباب، ونحن وقواتنا إلى متى يقاتلون معهم مع علمنا أن الشخص الأخر يصبح بديلاً للشخص الذي قتل أو تم اعتقاله أثناء الهجمات عليهم ورغم مقتل واعتقال عشرات منهم ، الحروب والهجمات كلها جارية بدون توقف، وكل الجهات فيها الحكومة والقوات، والجماعات المسلحة ليست لديها معلومات متأكدة أن إلى متى تسير هذه الحرب ؟ وتوقف متى؟
