Alarm bells are ringing after two brothers were assaulted in the Vikasnagar area of Dehradun Wednesday upon revealing their Kashmiri Muslim identity to a shopkeeper.
Ibn Khaldun Bharati’s core claim—that Muslim resistance to ‘Vande Mataram’ reflects an unwillingness to merge into an “organic whole” with Hindus—ignores both historical context and religious concerns.
From science to sports, cinema to bureaucracy, the armed forces to the courts, the community has been stitched into every important field of national life.
The ADR earlier alleged that a significant number of voters, particularly Muslims, were illegally removed from the rolls and that the process lacked transparency.
Muslims would do better to think about whether the public performance of religion strengthens or weakens secularism—the idea in which they have the highest stake.
The 'ghuspaithiya' narrative is being whipped up precisely when illegal immigration has actually diminished. Like most BJP-RSS ideas, it’s just an unimaginative Right-wing trope.
How is it that so many men from the same background could be involved—or remain silent? The answer is not comfortable. It lies in the moral codes they carried with them to England.
In his book, 'I, Witness', Shahid Siddiqui recalls encounters with the titans of Indian politics, presenting them not as distant icons, but as fallible beings.
General MM Naravane’s memoir—Four Stars of Destiny—reveals that he was left hanging by political leadership for more than two hours as Chinese tanks drove towards Indian positions.
The key to fighting a war successfully, or even launching it, is a clear objective. That’s an entirely political call. It isn’t emotional or purely military.
Mam, Al Takia to next level.. u don’t know Aurangzeb books and Alamgiri is the integral part of Madarsaa curriculum and average Muslim feels that they ruled this country and need to do it again.. if you are really honest which I am sure you are not.. look at the photo of how many people attended Kalam funeral versus Menon..

So the cat in the room is missing and silently white washed in the guise of some moral high ground which is not easy when social polarisation is the quick incentive that gives a high for the vast majority at the lower levels of society for economic depravity is an ongoing pain that needs a occasional painkiller like this.
Who is responsible for this behaviour again the community leaders at lower level who can sway a large audience in a mins notice.

Very good article! The conclusion is really good, “If peace and coexistence are ever to be more than empty aspirations, the focus must shift from divisive historical figures to those who built bridges. Societies do not move forward by constantly reviving past battles—they progress by choosing what to remember, how to remember it, and what lessons to carry into the future.” I have a question for her.
