An eye-opening analysis of the Muslim outlook in India. “India’s Muslims need a new generation of thought leaders who help the reality sink in,” captures the central challenge perfectly. Ibn Khaldun Bharati has the intellectual wherewithal to be such a thought leader. At his intellectual best, he is trying to free the Muslim mind from the mindset reflected in these immensely popular Urdu couplets:
हमारे सर की फटी टोपियों पे तंज़ न कर
हमारे ताज अजायबघरों में रखे हैं।
हमें तू ग़ज़नवी का हौसला दे
मुसलसल हार से तंग आ गए हैं।
Delegwtimize the student protest by using narratives the govt has destroyed through its actions–Check.
Bring muslim leaders as boogeyman to achieve further delegetimization-Chefk
Ignore that muslims did protest for themselves as citizens during the CAA NRC protests onlt to be labelled communal by like like Ibn Khaldun Bharti-Check.
Delegwtimize muslims voting as a bloc when all classes and castes of people also do the same-Check.
Ask muslims to stop thinking of thmselves as a minority when the entire statr and society reminds them of their subordinate position-Check.
We are reallt hitting all the bingo when it comes to pandering to a section of people that both are hostile to citizens protesting against the ruling party and muslims as well.
This should tell readers about the Islamophobic nature of The Print’s journalism. In some pieces one has to read between the lines unlike this one, which makes it very clear who is who. ibn Bharati ? Lazy
I would not fault Indian Muslims on any count. They have been extraordinarily patient. Whereas the Constitution does not expect them to act as if they are the children of a lesser god.
Yawn… The Print is scraping the bottom of a barrel that’s already been drilled through.
Where do you even find these ‘gems’? One week CJP is the new messiah rewriting the laws of the universe, and the next week you’re writing grand philosophical essays pretending they discovered fire.
All CJP actually did was give a platform to clout-chasing Chapris, whitewash radical narratives, and give armchair columnists endless material to spin anti-Hindu doom-posting.
First you glorify the circus, then you write preachy lectures analyzing the cleanup… Peak bottom-tier journalism
Haha, the gloves are off, eh “Bharati”? You managed to pivot a genuine majority-led youth protest into the usual anti-Muslim tirade. At least you have shown your cards now, fully. Yeah, keep ranting about the minorties and those with less power. It’s the easiest thing to do, unlike what these young GenZ protesters had the nerves to do: speak up against power.
This author never fails to surprise with the kind of incisive analysis of every subject he touches.

Amazing clarity and great advice to our Muslim brothers and sisters.

For decades, these liberal media pundits fed Muslims non-stop paranoia, telling them they’re under “existential threat” just to farm them for votes.
Now that their little trick isn’t working anymore, this blogger turns around like some holy saint and lectures them to “sit quiet and depoliticise.”
This armchair writer is having a meltdown. Lol.
