Bengal, Kerala, Assam — each key state election has a serious ‘Muslim party’ in fray. A lot of young voters are drawn to them, but others are sticking with tried-and-tested ‘secular’ parties.
Trinamool Congress general secretary Subrata Bakshi says BJP trying to mislead people by projecting that Mamata only has Muslim support; in 2019 polls, party got around 19% Hindu votes too.
Since 2014, Indian voters have become increasingly polarised on religious lines. Delhi 2020 assembly election is the latest example of strategic voting.
From Munir’s point of view, a few bumps here and there is par for the course. He isn’t going to drive his dumper truck to its doom. He wants to use it as a weapon.
Nice and laudable sentiment that these Muslims who do not want to be milked for their votes and loyalty. But please, who has milked them the most for last few centuries? Their own Agents of religion called Mullahs. We Hindus had the guts to call out Hindu agents and kick butt. Do Muslims have the guts to do that? One shout of ‘Islam in danger’ , ‘Blasphemy, ‘Apostasy’ and ‘Heresy’, and they all withdraw their collective intelligent head like a tortoise within their religious shell. Always welcome for fighting the ‘otherness’ but please fight against so many ‘othernesses’ of your own.
Only wat to get out of Hindu muslim is to oust all fundamentalist wherther Hindu or Muslim and use of religion like Jai Sri Ram or Allah u Akbar or mandir masjid should be banned and violators should summarily be disqualied fromPublic life for minmum five years.
Aren’t these communal parties? They are working for the welfare of muslims and not for public in general irrespective of the religion. If Muslims have such parties then you are supposed to keep your mouth shut because they are so called MUSLIMS. If RSS tries to protect the welfare of Hindus then you call them communal party and its considered a sin.. you can call them anything you wish and we Hindus should keep our mouth shut.. pity!!! These Muslims are uniting to make India another Siriya.. if they live and let others live we have no problem but why should they force others to be Muslims,? why is it always that they emphasize that their Religion is right? everyone has their own beliefs and they should learn to accept that.. why so they bomb innocent people for the sake of religion? And talking about Kerala.. Muslims here are enjoying more than any other country let alone state..
Your article branding Muslims in Kerala as cows to be milked is totally unrealistic..First of all,you cannot compare the kerala Muslims with that of Assam and Bengal.The main reason is that Kerala Muslims are fully educated like any other community here.The people of Kerala,to my knowledge is having a secular mind to a great extend.That is why Kerala is top in human development index such as education, health and others.Here all people talk only Malayalam. Nearly 7 million people work in abroad.Because of that,people here are financially far better than any other state..Moreover nearly 2 million people from Bengal is working here for their lively hood. So don’t propagate these types of unrealistic things.
Democracy is sought to be subverted by sheer uncontrolled population growth.
A fundamentalist community which doesn’t believe in INDIAN CONSTITUTION or scientific education and modern outlook is ensuring that HINDUS whose population is declining are made into minorities who will than either have to convert of face persecution.
Government needs to urgently address the need of forcefull population control measures to save INDIA for HINDUS as they have no other country to call theirs
Why they want to defeat Bjp? Isn’t Bjp has government in any other state? Does this particular religion has any problems in state rule by BJP? I think only this particular religion has no faith in country India or its law and constitution. don’t know what they want? But sure they want as many as Pakistan. The very purpose is to dominate others.
The best way for Indian and Bengali Muslims to be integrated jnto the mainstream is for them to forgo their claims to Sharia or Muslim Personal Law. Common Civil Law will ensure they are all considered equal. If they WANT to be different by abiding to different civil code…then how can they be treated as the same as the rest ?
Have been following Fatima Khan’s essays in thePrint with great interest.
Put together Fatima Khan’s writings indicate a home truth of which many VHP activists have been talking. That Muslims need a separate nation. That Muslims can never integrate with the rest of India.
My own experience of Muslims is just the opposite. My experience is that Muslims have no grievance against India, BJP and Hindus. After reading the latest report by Ms. Khan it is clear that Ms. Khan is right and I was wrong. That Muslims will be safe only in a Muslim country and never in one where Hindus are numerous.
Or, could it be that Ms. Khan merely wants to help Islamic separatism grow stronger in India?
The author stresses that IUML is the successor of pre partition IML. We know from 1930 onwards the Muslims of united India wanted a separate state/ country for muslims and to be governed by muslims alone. In 1940 Lahore session a resolution was passed to that effect. It has now come to be known as Lahore declaration. Muslims wanted a separate country to be ruled by muslims alone as they felt they could not live with Hindus and that Muslims are different from Hindus. Remember how Hindus were slaughtered in Bengal? When Hindus got ready to retaliate, gandhi sat on hunger strike and saved his muslims brothers? Well, that is history. In 1947 India was trifurcated, muslims got two parts and we Hindus got a moth eaten Hindustan. Now the fundamental question is , muslims got their two homelands in the form of Pakistans and who said they were different from Hindus and did not want to live with Hindus, yet stayed back in India ie Hindustan. Why did they stay back? Who allowed them to stay back? It defies their basic argument on which partition took place. Now, if Muslims say India is their land , why did they partition the country? Muslims have no right to stay or live in Hindustan. Look how Congress , CPI, and other political parties are pandering after muslim vote as if only Muslims matter in the country. That disgusting community who sought and got their own country are now ruining my country.
Many Bengali hindus are immigrants from Bangladesh many years ago. Bangladeshi illegal muslims in west bengal will make these hindus minority in their own country for the second time. Where will they go then?
If the Muslims of India want to join the main stream, firstly they have to shed the external Muslim identity such as skull cap, beard without moustache, hijab, naqab, burkah etc. Secondly, they have to shun the Clerics as their community leaders. Thirdly, keep Urdu as a literary language. Out of home, speak the local language or English. Try these simple steps. The resultant changes will be enormous. During the last seventy years, whatever appeasement the “Secular” parties have tried has gone to fill the coffers of these Cleric-leaders and has not filtered down to Common Muslims.
Muslims will join mainstream as Muslims with skull cap and rest of it.. your dhongi can wear saffron dhoti – and you want to lecture us what we should wear – we will do what we want. Hindustan kisi ke baap ka nahi hai
You will remain an alien for the rest of your life.
Definitely the brightest that the reason most number of ISIS recruit in India hailed from Kerala
Madarsa education & namaz 5 times ensure religion first.
Branding Kerala mslims as ‘cows to be milked ‘is a statement of the reporter’s ignorance of high levels of educational cultural and political standards Kerala Muslims are enjoying. This kind of arm-chair reporting can contribute to tarnish the bright image of Kerala Muslim community.

And what to do with Mosques and Churches who give the call for believers which party to vote and not.
Every political party that is born as a Muslim party is an effort to cover the known but surreptitious movement of Islam in India – Gazwa e Hind.

Majority of muslims are not secular….

Fail to understand why muslims give precedence to religion over development at every elections.

Best known for working in Middle East & becoming ISIS members.
