The India-South Africa series-defining fact is the catastrophic decline of Indian red ball cricket where a visiting team can mock us with the 'grovel' word.
We have become the victims of Doomscrolling & a soft target for lashing out on our Ulemas. The writer of this article (Ibn Khaldun Bharati) with a vicious intent, strategically blamed community’s development entirely on Ulema, who are not uprightly responsible.
The hard reality is progressive Muslim families didn’t bothered about the fellow brethren when they had lavish lives. Even now, they are just sharing concern but are not coming forward to do something which requires huge financial assistance to take-on the battle of falsehood.
Also, many elite Muslims were never cared about the community, married non-Muslims (Pataudis, Khans of Bollywood, many more). Their entire lineage were diluted & their off-springs went astray.
In this article, the writer cunningly portrayed two leaders should be looked as the role models of the Muslim community, one being MC Chagla (a Jurist), who belonged to Ismaili Khoja community and was mostly agnostic. Second, Hamid Dalwai, an atheist & leftist who was the founder of ‘Muslim Satyashodhak Mandal’, which aims to ‘reform’ the Muslim community.
The conclusion of this article gaslight the actions of NaMo & the writer is fraudulently trying to depict him as a Messiah for Muslims in disguise. Please don’t fall prey to such fitnas who are trying to create the fault lines within the Muslim community by hiding behind a pen name.
It’s preposterous to introduce author as an student islam and etc. Firstly, his article reflects, he doesn’t know even the tenets of islam leave aside that he knows history. He has suggested muslims to be followers of so called reformists, everyone knows who they belong to. All distorted facts in support of his narrative. As far as sir sayed is concerned, if the author is a scholar which he claims to be, then every submitted thesis is not accepted. So sir syed attempt is same in line of rejected thesis. And unfortunately everyone who demean islam is praised and hailed.
Let him first get proper syllabus of islam.
First of all, I just discovered how meaningful your sobriquet is. Ibn Khaldun Bharati means “ever the son of Bharat”, and being a reader of your columns since a while, I have no doubt that you are one of Bharat Mata’s most logical, sensible, and progressive children. Given the depth of your ideas and thoughts, you are the leader that the community needs, that the country needs. It is sad that you have to express your ideas under the sobriquet though, our freedom of expression allows everyone to express their ideas irrespective of how controversial they might be. Why are you anonymous? As a secular Hindu, I would love to see you emerge as the voice of sanity from the Muslim community.
If logical, progressive Muslims like yourself are scared to write under your real name for fear of being persecuted or killed, then sorry to say that all hope is lost, and wish the community all the best.
I always wonder why educated muslims and leftist intellectuals don’t want poor muslim children to get standard education, rather they advocate for religious schooling.
