India, Muslims and the "RSS"

 There are many examples, for example, when Talag Khan was defeated by Sultan Nasir-ud-Din Mahmood, he was given refuge by a Hindu Rajput.

Similarly, Raja Harmeer Deo of Ranthambore sheltered a Muslim chief against Aladdin, and later in the revolts of several Mughal princes, the Rajputs paid homage and then the War of Independence of 1857.

After the rise of Islam, religious fervor among the Hindus themselves was renewed, which led to the emergence of sects such as Vishnumat and Vera Shwetad. There is no segregation among Muslims, the details of which can be seen in the book of El Gaba.

Sofia was the first to use Urdu for preaching, while Hindu reformers also preferred the new use of regional languages.

Meera Bai's hymns were recited in Rajasthani, Vidyapati's hymns in Maithili, Chandi Das's hymns in Bengali, Nath Swami's hymns in Marathi.

Other sadhus, saints, elders of the time such as Bhagat Kabir, Guru Nanak Ji, Sowardas, Tulsi Das and Malik Muhammad Jaisi used the Hindi language in various forms.

Islam had spread in India long before Babar's invasion of India in 1526. Zaheer-ud-Din Babar had founded the Mughal dynasty by defeating the Muslim ruler Ibrahim Lodhi in the field of Panipat.

The opposition of Babar and the Mughal rulers who came after him was usually with the Muslim rulers, such as the governors of Gujarat, Malwa, Jaunpur and Bengal who wanted to maintain their own independent rule apart from the Delhi Empire.

There are three phases of almost 300 years of Mughal rule over India. First, Babar's victory over Afghans and Rajputs, second, the defeat and retreat of Babar's son Humayun at the hands of Sher Shah Suri, and third, Humayun's return from Iran, restoration and full consolidation of Mughal power during the reign of his son Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar.

If you want to see an unparalleled example of the complete unity of Islamic and Hindu architecture in architecture, consider the construction of Fatehpur Sikri. And during the reign of Ng Zeb Alamgir, Bijapur and Golkonda, which were Muslim kingdoms, were conquered.

India has been a mixture of many races and cultures. 5,000 years of known history bear witness to the extraordinary and glorious harmony of different civilizations in this great subcontinent. Ethnically, the vast majority of Muslims, no matter where they are in India, belong to the same ethnic group as the rest of the population, which is why there are so many cultural similarities between Muslims and other nations of the country. ۔

It will not be easy for a foreigner to distinguish between a Bengali Muslim and a Bengali non-Muslim. Similarly, it will not be easy to distinguish between a Punjabi Muslim and a non-Muslim thousands of miles away, while the same is true of Assam in the east and Kerala in the far south.

The non-Muslim residents of Lucknow are just as proud of the noble, noble, dignified, reserved, humble traditions left by the Nawabs of Sabha and Odh as the Muslims of Lucknow.

When Muslims from two continents and dozens of countries come to visit their holy places, they are welcomed by Sikhs and Hindus in Sirhind, Ajmer, Delhi and Gulbarga, etc., as it is part of the beautiful traditions there and every civilized true humanist wants. May these enlightened traditions live on.

Let alone the Constitution of India itself, which came into force on January 26, 1950, stipulated that Muslims, like other citizens, would enjoy complete political, religious, social and economic freedom.

In the eyes of the law, they will be equal to other citizens. There will be no discrimination on the basis of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth and they will have equal opportunities in getting a government job.

There is a long list of Muslims who have made significant contributions to India's political, public, administrative, military, diplomatic, creative and scientific life.

The First War of Independence (1857) was also fought with the last Mughal emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar as a symbol. Muslims and Hindus jointly shed blood under its banner. Even leaders like Maulvi Ahmadullah Shah, Sahibzada Feroz Shah, Khan Bahadur Khan, General Bakht and Hazrat Mahal sided with Rani Jhansi.

Who can forget the speech of Prime Minister Pandit Nehru after the partition of India in which he said, “We belong to any religion, we are all sons of India. Encouragement of sectarianism, religious bigotry cannot be allowed here. That nation can never be a great nation whose sons are narrow-minded in their thoughts and actions. ”

Readers!

The column can't handle this endless topic.

In short, I believe that the ideology of the RSS is very weak, outdated, unrealistic and irrational, not only historically, but also constitutionally, humanely, principledly and in an international context. ..... must be reviewed. (the end)
