Periyar had suggested Ambedkar convert to Islam. After years of research, I too found Islam to be the only religion in India that could annihilate the caste system.
Israel's response to Iran's retaliatory attack was relatively small and also downplayed by Tehran. But there are factors that could jeopardise this perceived reprieve.
The 125 APAs include 86 Unilateral APAs (UAPAs) and 39 Bilateral APAs (BAPAs). The total number of APAs since the start of the APA programme has risen to 641, with 506 UAPAs and 135 BAPAs.
One ore Enemy of the Public, as Henrik Ibsen would have put it. It is said that a convert to Islam is more bigoted than one born into it. This writer’s tirade proves this point. Why didn’t he follow Dr.Ambedkar’s footsteps and adopt Buddhism instead of falling into Islam? He follows Ambedkar selectively.
This is true bro. People who are raising these dalit ideologies which are not prevalent in india now are real reasons of dalits not being shown as a powerful community now. Currently when we see, these bigots always do brahmins X dalits but todays truth is that brahmins have been left with a very less population. What are these bigots scared of. The real truth . Currently there is no caste system As like only on paper for reservations but reading this article i think the writer and this guy have forgot the big ongoing battle of shia and sunni and now one more sufi . Dalits are a powerful majority community in india. People who are calling them a feeble minority are degrading bhim army’s value in today’s political system. I have friends who are far better learners and not complainers and sitting on a major positions now not crying of past. Babasaheb Ambedkar particularly didnt choose islam as he knew that if while the time of conversion of 8cr dalits into islam , what india he might see. This is the reason he chose buddhisim a religion of peace and equality. Press like these are degrading the value of dalits from years. Use freedom of speech and expression in a better way .
Dear Ravichandran, Consider changing your name to a Brahmin name such as Aiyar or Swamy (or any other “high” caste) and move to a new city. Pick any job that is not directly tied to your old caste. Otherwise, enlighten us after another year about how your life improved after you converted to Islam.
Ok…. So you embraced a religion which says,
1) Islam is the only religion acceptable to God
2) all the non Muslims (kafirs) will burn in hell
3)don’t take kafirs as your friend
4) you can take war refugees as your sex slaves..
You just became part of worlds most bigotry Religion cum cast….. Hinduism says, your caste is decided by your karma…. Lazy people don’t want to do good karma, instead blame Hinduism and glorify the religion of terrorists…
Congratulations God bless you always الحمدللہ all mideas help Humanity to get Truth
Thinking about universe and society help the Man to get guidence God help us to follow Right Path
God bless you
Periyar made more derogatory comments on Islam than anyone else. He thought Hinduism
Was mud and Islam something else. Interesting this author quotes Periyar
No matter which religion we follow, but how we treat others is matter. How we look the discrimination, how we respond Injustice, how we react to defference of openion.
The most misinterpreted concept of Islam in today’s world is JEHAD which in its most basic sense refers to STRUGGLE or SANGHARSH….
Struggle with one’s inner evil qualities to purify soul is the most important Jehad, example are various saint who teach the society Soul Purification.
Struggle to eradicate Social Evils, unfair Custom is another Jehad for example Babasaheb Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi,
Such Sangharah are also practised by Sanatan Daity Shree Ram And Shree Krishna
To eradicate evils of Ravan And Kansh as well as Kauravs….
It’s not merely to Killing someone…..
Islam through its Quranic verses clearly teaches that “Killing An Innocent is As Good As Killing Entire Humanity, And Saving One Innocent Life is As someone has saved entire Humanity.
But unfortunately reason behind this misinterpretation is some evil folowers who have used Islam for their personal gain and then those media and political leaders who has deviated such issues for political gain.
I would like to advise all my brother’s and sisters to please use wisdom and spare valuable time to go through Holly Islamic Books and life of Prophet Muhammad as well as sufi saints of Islam. It serves society on basis of logic, human psychology, natural justice.
I hope you will have no more questions and misinterpretation concerning it’s principal.
It will be a great gift to yourself and will surely remove all your misconceptions.
Any practice against humanity is not at all virtues of any religion.
Defination of Faith in Islam is To Surrender Our Will For The Will Of Our Creator.
Could you tell this to your brotheren who treated Yazdi women as sex slaves. Islam is cancer, don’t preach this BS.
Why only Muslim? Why not Buddist, Christian,?
Why to have a religion at all? Why not a non believer? Who stopped you from changing just a name? Why didn’t you fought this discrimination? Why ?
If someone want to know what is Islam’s most basic teaching is than that “It Firmly Belive in Oneness of Almighty, God is Only One with No Face (Nirakar Niranjan), He is the Creator of Entire Univerae (Brahmand), All creatures (Prajati)….. And sent as many as 1lac 24 thousands Prophets on earth time by time to teach way of life. Muhammad is one of them.
So the most basic difference between all the Religion of world and Islam is Islam Firmly Belive in Oneness of Almighty and Teach to Worship That Only One God, All the Creatures came in existence by One God, Than All Those whose creation and life is depending on One Almigjty they may be treated as Saint, Prophet but not God.
Even Muhammad is also a Human Being, Beloved, Prophet but not at all worshipable… If someone say he worship Muhammad He is no Muslim as well. Muhammad is Not God, Not His Son except Messenger.
People Most Beloved to Almighty are thise who are the most beneficent to the Humanity. That’s what Islam is.
Love for one’s Motherland is Part of his Faith that’s teaching of Islam.
What is in the Quran is Mohammed’s distorted version of things, not God’s.
Sorry. Your religion talks of just ‘one’ God and that is ‘your’ God. Any other belief is unacceptable in your faith. How can this be assumed to be conveying oneness of God! I am a’kafir’for you and worthy of no respect according to your religion. Let us not pretend otherwise. The recent convert to your religion, the author ‘Raees’ has a lot of grouse against his ‘original’ religion but that is his personal experience only. That does not take anything away from the all encompassing religion that ‘Hinduism’ or Sanatan Dharma is.
Respected brothers, religion is no more than knowing yourself and your creator. It is the way of life, balanced norms of humanity and a way of life. I hope there shouldn’t be more havoc but all of us must research on scriptures ratherthan folowers.
There may be wron doers in every religion, as we all are human being and we all have some faults. We are living in 21st century a time of knowledge, time of wisdom before coming to any conclusion one must try to read the holy books, books of saints etc.
What a shame, Print is promoting one side of the coin for Islam. All religions have good side and ugly side. I can remember the news (from Uttar Pradesh) I read few months ago where a section of high caste Muslims didn’t allow to bury the dead body of low caste Muslim in the same graveyard that they use .
I am a Dalit from Patni Sub Caste. And I find this article as Hindu bashing in the guise of Dalit and promoting Islam over Hindu. Is Print a religious group now? Due to being a Dalit I got reservation in Education and Jobs which even many of my High caste friends does not have. I will be blunt here, Islam may not have caste system but they have various sects which discriminates agains5 each other which we saw. Add to that, no other religion creates an many terrorists as Islam. Whom the author is fooling here? Please don’t equate us with muslims, they are no friends of Dalits which I can vouch for from my experience. Unlike Islam, the Hinduism is progressive and discards bad practices with time, unlike Islam where no words can be changed in Quran despite being written in thousand years back. That’s the difference, Hinduism will adapt,not Islam. Go to any non Islamic nation, you will find that the most unruly community with lowest of education, employment, and social index are from Muslim community. So this article is another instance of whitewashing the ills of Islam and trying to downgrade Hinduism. Last but not the least, don’t use our Dalit community for your political agenda.
Better introspect the issues with caste system and take some corrective measures? That will be more helpful.
Better introspect the issues with caste system and take some corrective measures? That will be more helpful.
I am also from a Schedule Caste. I seldom faced discrimination in our country but that could be because ive lived in major cities like Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore. I have seen myself being identified as Harijan in my native in Gujarat but that never came in the way of anything. I have seen some of my cousins having difficulty marrying in other castes but i find that happening with any caste. I see eventually homogenisation within the country going beyond religion, caste and creed. I dont have a caste certificate anymore and i dont think the next generation might be bothered about it.
I dont know if Bathran is the author’s family name and if it is, i dont know if identifies with a caste. But i dont think one has to change the first name to change religion. We adopted Patel as our last name around Independence time because it is very generic in Gujarat and does not necessarily relate to any Scheduled Caste. I know several Indonesian Muslims who have very Indic names and dont go by Arabic Names. Iranian have Iranian names, Turkish people have Turkish Names. Hindu might the author’s identity anymore but India is still.
Islam has a caste system moron!! Sunni Shia ahmadiyya what’s all this ??!! Print gives space to any random guy just because he’s a dalit converted to some other religion. Wow!! Nice credentials
Schools of thoughts or sects doesn’t mean castes. Any person from sect A can join the sect B based on ideological changes. There is no untouchability either. In case of caste, untouchability is rampant, and one is born in a caste. I bet you already know this.
Educate your self first . See the prosecution of shia and ahmadias by sunni muslim in pakistaan. Even sunni muslim do not recognized ahmadias as muslims.
I bet you have not seen any of this but just blurting out from articles you read.
There is no untouchability been practiced now by and large. There is law to punish it. Social evils are in all societies. Heard about recently abolised triple talaaq (or do you think it liberates women along with khatna & halala) ?
If any shia and sunni can just change their ideologies pray why are there killings going on around the world in thousands every year. Stop sugar coating own problems and highlighting other people’s ones
Is there anyway to know that Raees did not take money to convert and then write about it or to use it to get his 2 mins of fame. It is so shameful that ThePrint peddles this stuff and tries to insinuate how Hinduism has problems —- damn Mr Gupta or perhaps you have converted too.
Welcome to Islam my brother. If you learn the Quran and the Hadith, you fill find that many peoples who were oppressed turn to the religion of equality and justice. Most important of all is that you leave your previous biases behind. Love everyone equally, even though the idea of caste may be imprinted in your psychology. Be sure to pray all 5 times a day, it is in these prayers that you will find peace and good health and hygiene. Fast for the full month of Ramadan, the cleansing process improves health and longevity. Take care of your fellow Muslim brothers and sisters. Shun any extremist ideologies, for they will lead you astray. And most importantly of all, do not burn your bridges with family and friends, even if they are still Hindu and believe in the caste system, Allah swt forbids disowning parent, siblings and family. You have many years of difficult learning infront of you, Islam is an easy religion to enter, but difficult to master. Good luck, may Allah swt be with you and may more oppressed people come to the faith.
Caste and biradari are very much part of south asian Islam. But Congratulations – in your mind, you just left caste discrimination behind and graduated to demonization of non-muslims, conquest and their enslavement which is the foundation cornerstone of Islam from the days of the Prophet. Ambedkar on Islam :
“Islam is a close corporation and the distinction that it makes between Muslims and non-Muslims is a very real, very positive and very alienating distinction. The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man. It is brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only. There is a fraternity but its benefit is confined to those within that corporation. For those who are outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt and enmity. … In other words, Islam can never allow a true Muslim to adopt India as his motherland and regard a Hindu as his kith and kin. That is probably the reason why Maulana Mahomed Ali, a great Indian but a true Muslim, preferred to be buried in Jerusalem rather than in India.”
Ambedkar on caste system and endorsement of slavery in Islam :
“Islam speaks of brotherhood. Everybody infers that Islam must be free from slavery and caste. Regarding slavery nothing needs to be said. It stands abolished now by law. But while it existed much of its support was derived from Islam and Islamic countries… The existence of these evils among the Muslims is distressing enough. But far more distressing is the fact that there is no organized movement of social reform among the Musalmans of India on a scale sufficient to bring about their eradication. The Hindus have their social evils. But there is this relieving feature about them—namely, that some of them are conscious of their existence and a few of them are actively agitating for their removal. The Muslims, on the other hand, do not realize that they are evils and consequently do not agitate for their removal. Indeed, they oppose any change in their existing practices. It is noteworthy that the “Muslims opposed the Child-Marriage Bill brought in the Central Assembly in 1930, whereby the age for marriage of a girl was raised to 14 and of a boy to 18 on the ground that it was opposed to the Muslim canon law. Not only did they oppose the bill at every stage but that when it became law they started a campaign of Civil Disobedience against that Act. Fortunately the Civil Disobedience campaign of the Muslims against the Act did not swell and was submerged in the Congress Civil Disobedience campaign which synchronized with it. But the campaign only proves how strongly the Muslims are opposed to social reform.”
He further writes, “Having been taught that outside Islam there can be no safety; outside its law no truth and outside its spiritual message there is no happiness, the Muslim has become incapable of conceiving any other condition than his own, any other mode of thought than the Islamic thought. He firmly believes that he has arrived at an unequalled pitch of perfection; that he is the sole possessor of true faith, of the true doctrine, the true wisdom ; that he alone is in possession of the truth—no relative truth subject to revision, but absolute truth.”
Correct brother, Islam promote equality only among Muslim members. Shari at law, jihad are the main threats of peace in contemporary world. Islam suppressed woman’s human rights. Islam denied perfect spiritual knowledge to attain liberation. There have no knowledge about ultimate reality, pure Brahman, rebirths, karmic bondage Islam focussed aggressive, slavery belief system. I thought his complex due to receive Islam. Indian philosophies have variety spiritual knowledge semantic religions including Islam,Christianity destroy truthful spirituality and they promote aggressive God, heaven, hell etc. Periyor was a social reformer not spiritual leader so follow his ideaology create hatred among soceity.
I come from a caste considered to be dalit, yes there is a feeling that we people are discriminated against by the so called upper caste hindus, conversion to islam would only prove their point,
Why should the dalits be the one to separate themselves from the Hindu religion , the religion is equally ours as it is of the so called upper caste hindus.
We cannot go on about making it against them against us and if the issue of untouchability is there, my friend it is a fact that the Indian subcontinent has made even the muslims to follow the caste system, which is a shame, but this is the reality.
It shoukd not be yiu who should keave hinduism but the so called upper caste hindus shouldnleave hinduisim because they feel too elite to the religion
Poor guy..
He has right to do anything .
Being humanist,rationalist and atheist will solve the problems.
Not by converting to ideology written ages ago
If so called mohammad converted to islam just because of discrimination then you choose a worst religion which don’t even accept sunni (shiya’s brother) as Muslim as well as Ahmadiyya a muslims , instead of they are muslim and how they treat other without discrimination, muslims teaches others to that all non Muslim is kafir and all kafir will go to hell. If this is not discrimination so what is??
And the print also trying to portrayed his own intention toward islam. How this fake
Your beloved religion affect you deeply.
People don’t want to let go their Dalit tags so as to get the perks of being dalit ,now some of sc st proudly tell that they are dalit because of the perks given by the gov, if some one want to be remain as dalit and poor than this is his fault, and we also don’t want the cast system because we hate reservation.. The so called dalit victim
Islam has hundreds of castes and sects which are brutally killing and oppressing each other. Conversion is a very big and lucrative industry in India to make fat and easy money. These maroons must know the oppression and cleansing of Dalits by Muslims in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afganistan, Kashmir, Mallapuram, Kairana, Murshidabad, Malda, Kishanganj, Siwan, Mewat, Malarkotla, Bashirabad etc places. Only Hindus give reservation and quotas to SCs,STs, OBCs, Dalits etc. Muslim institutions and minority institutions like AMU, Jamia, Deoband, Nadwa College, Presidency University, Christ Church college, Jesus and Mary College, madrasas, Wafq Board etc have no reservations and quotas. These foolish, coward and greedy converts should know the fate of traitor Jogendra Nath Mondal in Pakistan who was responsible for the genocide of Dalits in Pakistan and Bengladesh by Muslim Terrorists.
You have taken a bold step. But why jump from frypan to fire? The best solution to get rid of the antiquated politics of yesteryears (called religion) is to denounce all religions and be a human being. I was born in a Muslim family and was taught Quran before I knew 2 plus 2 is 4. Later after studying Arabic I found that Quran itself is full of hate. It has no tolerance for non-Muslims. Let all of us get out of the clutches of these clerics, the fraudsters who cheat people by telling them that they have a hotline to God. I realise that in that region, declaration of a religion is a must and so far agnostics are not recognised, but people like you should come out and get united as a group of humans with no religion. Just a love for “humanity”. I have paid a price for declaring myself a non-believer, when my name was struck off the voter’s list in Pakistan. The society extracts a price from the non-conformists. So be it. Let us be a little more bold and denounce all religions.
Islam is always the ONLY answer to everything and that is where the problem lies my brother. Congratulations on converting, I am sure Hindus will do better with one less bigoted person among themselves. I know you must be wondering “How am I bigoted?!” lookup “bigotry of low expectations”. We Hindus will fight our own evils and better ourselves each day every day. We believe in fixing the problem and not start throwing toys out of the pram. While you enjoy being the most perfect creature in the universe.
Religion is a personal choice so one respects your decision. However the assumption that the caste bias will be magically go away because of conversion is naive at best. For that, we as a nation need to work on improving education and reducing mistrust and hatred among people – irrespective of our religion. Hope you find peace.
Mohamed is new and very much in love with his new identity. There are crores of Dalits who were converted to Islam by invaders under threats of swords. Just look at their present condition. You will also be same after some time.
This is level of hypocrisy. Citizenship bill has nothing to do with dalit. U choose a religious that have no caste? Read about shia ,sunni and Ahmadi.Atleast Hinduism don’t allow killing of oerson because if his believe. They don’t kill,rape or force convert other peoples. How much terrorist paid u to write this article?
Agreed hinduism has ugly caste system
But does Islam really have equality?
If yes who is dalit muslim?
Who are ajlaf and ashraf,?
Why indian muslims are divided into so many sub categories
Why ahmediyas are considered non muslim
These are sects. Means different understanding of same scriptures. You guys haven’t read your own scriptures. You just like watching fictional movie made on hindu Mahabharata character!…..
Ohh really then what about Pakistan?war between saudi and Iran? Jizya? Killing of christians? They don’t even consider other sects equal to them. Shame bro
Changing religion is like running away from your problem rather than solving it.. I dont know for some reasons Many Indians always chose to run away from problems..
I am a Hindu and I don’t think Islam is a solution to anything if the goal is a progressive world. But I completely accept and empathise with your point. Hinduism as it is practiced is utterly corrupt and shameful and your concerns reflect our failure as a country.
It is true that the plight of the sanitation workers, sweepers, sewage line cleaners and scavengers is indescribable. But then why dalit leaders and leftists never demanded adoption of mechanical sweepers and floor cleaners, sewerage cleaning machine? Why did they not demand that every house should be connected to a sewer so that manual scavenging and carrying night soil on head could be abolished? Years ago, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai had proposed gradual adoption of sweeping machines for Mumbai’s roads. The sanitary workers were up in arms and the proposal was abandoned.
The author of the article should have researched on the prevalence of discrimination in Muslim countries. Their it is not called “caste.” That’s all. While he is free to choose his path, his views are not sincere
This is why Hindus are tolerant. The same suggestions to people of Islamic faith would have killed the journalist. If we push for conversions from Islam because it’s a violent religion, I bet you will blow up something.
And what caste system are you talking about, the entire Middle East is chaos because of infighting between Shia and Sunni. This is called half baked knowledge.
When a Dalit highlights his problems , the responses to it from many Hindus highlights a pathetic lack of compassion and empathy. While I do not agree with author about one organized religion solving a problem foisted on by another, I do feel that it is better to do just about anything, rather than accepting gross injustice.In Tamil Nadu you have the example of Oscar winner A R Rahman who has done extremely well .
You could have turned to Aethism. or Buddhism, as Dr Ambedkar did!
Now that you are a Muslim, be an honourable Muslim. Don’t participate in the reservation for Muslims theme. Islam doesn’t have caste and hence you MUST shun caste based reservation
Great answer…… he should be read ambedkar about nationalism and Islam…… before they converted to Islam…… they will be never converted into it….. and thats why ambedkar ji not accepted islam. Evre dalit brothers and sisters plz read that book before converted.
Another Sinead O’Connor. Very stable and “emancipated”.
You have researched poorly. Islam also has the baggage of caste, just look at any literature from the Pasmanda movement and consider how similar it is to the literature in the anti-caste movement from Hinduism.
Islam has its own baggage of caste to deal and is not the panacea for this very reason. You should have become a buddhist instead, it at least does have the historical baggage that Islam currently does.
Extremely sad to know that you have chosen to change your religion. I do not blame you. You have mentioned that EVR advised Ambedkar to convert to Islam. But did Babasaheb do it? No. Why? Ponder please
Haha.. Raees Mohammad , why didnt u chose your name as Raees Peerzade, then i would like to see how you are treated within muslim community.
Moreover why donnt you eat in toilet if toilet is not a filty place to have alongside Temple.
And you say education didnt help you shed Dailt Tag , i would like to know your education ?
And once you leave hinduism, , you no
Dalits stood by their faith and beliefs against Islamic forces by poaching pigs, practicing ghoonghat, or red soaked feet while entering the house. Even if the larger Hindu society did not accept them.
Dr Ambedkar view was critical of Islam which is very well documented. He turned to Buddhism accepting failures of Hindu society and not the Hindu as a dharma.
you are well within your rights to choose any path you deem fit. This is the beauty of India. Now, since You have chosen a path, remember not to spread terror, hate and violence against any religion. May You find peace and solace in Your new avatar.
Islam is caste free, but then equality is still a problem. What about the way the religion treats its women. How do the women of the household respond to this ?
Now that You have converted .You can marry 4
You can give talk at will.Buy 2 burkhas and force it on your wife and.daughter.Above all reserve a place by killing a kafir
By that logic will The print try to publish article on Mr Mahendra Nath Arya (Ex Muslim) who is now Hindu (arya samaji) on why he left Islam ( the Arabic religion).
Mr Mahendra Nath Arya (Ex Muslim) wouldn’t be acceptable to Hindus, for whom he would still be a Muslim! No Hindu wopuld marry his son or daughter to such the daughter or son of such an ex-Muslim! HE WOULD REMAIN AN OUTCASTE! HE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF REMAINING A MUSLIM!
No, He is very accepted in the Hindu society, and most Hindus in urban areas do not ask for the caste and previous religion except for getting information for auspicious reasons, like what date to set for wedding.
Many Hindu parents let their child marry Muslims, who would have an issue with an ex Muslim?
I don’t think that he will be an
outcast.
So now the the print is acting as jihadi piece, who knows this guy is not a Hindu from SC bkgd but a Islamists jihadi bkgd. For Ambedkar, he used much worse words for Islam than for others. He wanted all Muslims to leave this country and complete population exchange.
The author has not been sincere in his research for this article . He says, “In my years of research, I too found Islam to be the only religion in India with the strength to annihilate the caste system.” How can a religion, itself steeped in the business of discrimination , fight discriminate ?! Sorry newly minted RAEES MOHAMMED, your conversion to escape the poison of casteism is well entrenched even in Islam.
All you had to do was google “caste in Islam”and you would have had your answer. Now it seems your conversion has been in vain.
All “religions” are a menace to the human race. Now if you really care to be well-informed and know how even in Islam “name” indicates caste, then click on the links below.

Reading Raees Mohammed’s article, I felt, the author was just pandering to the political strategy of the opposition to create a new Muslim+Dalith vote-bank. In that sense this is a biased article. And I suspect it is a poorly a researched article because the intention was to be biased to being with. Such an article should not find a place on a website that I personally consider sincere and unbiased.
It’s these kind of convert Muslims, who are a danger to society rather than the Muslim community as a whole, who are still being used by pseudo seculars political parties for their selfish and vote bank politics. In the year 1947 when the country was partitioned on religious lines, it was then that the constitutional fathers should have stripped the Muslim community of their voting rights, by which these sickular politicians wings would have been clipped.
Dear Prakash, let us try and understand the only shortcoming of Hindus which is caste system. This guy did not convert to Islam because it was his first choice, he did so because he feels it will be more equitable there! While I think he might be mistaken, but its his right, isnt it? Now differences between all castes in Hindus are quickly being wiped out by the new generation due to inter mingling and loads of inter caste marriages. But, it might still take a few decades for dalits to feel truly a part of Hindu society.
wrong, it is due to 70 yr leftist educational propaganda against Hindus. And susprising most of these leftist are with Hindu names. The dangerous Arabic religion has many more problems including terrorism which is absent here. Do you think this cannot be understood by people of any bkgd, they can but yes, state educational institutes needs to do communication on this.
LIES, LIES AND LIES! There never was “70 yr leftist educational propaganda against Hindus”.
Give us a proof that islam is truth. We have all the proof that islam is a dangerous hoax.
Bro i think you are getting funded from islamic missionary system pls Google it “ex muslims ” and apostates you will surely get answers , by converting to islam you are harming yourself and the humanity tooo
So instead of facing the embarrassing fact that a Dalit left Hinduism due to the oppression of caste, you are sore at the fact that Muslims have voting rights in India? Shouldn’t upper caste Hindu introspect and discard Hinduism’s caste system altogether if they want to prevent other Ravichandrans from becoming Raees. Mat karo, hame Kya, our numbers increase Alhamdulillah 🙂
As Hindu you have the liberty and choice. Now you don’t have that – try to leave hislam you are apostate and will be killed. 9 out of 10 hislam terror victims are mohslums . 52 hislam countries don’t give right to vote .
Yes, hislam countries have oil and pay you well besides giving you 4 girls to enjoy. BabaSaheb had refused hislam because he was not greedy for money and women.
Only increasing numbers hardly helps. It is a pity that the condition of dalits in our country who converted to Islam lured by “equality” is deplorable to say the least. Positive affirmative action like reservation has brought and is still bringing out millions of backward caste hindus everyday from poverty to equality.
Sachar report places the condition of indian Muslims below the dalits in all fronts- economic, health, education… So much so that they take benefit of reservation gleefully as backwards and dalits today. Then they ask for more reservation as muslims per se. We still have huge reservations for dalit Christians. Much irony!
There is no refuge in mere numbers.
yes, like virus.
yes, like virulent disease. and shall perish in same manner too.
Great answer brother , inshallah ,Islam will rule the hearts of all human beings and dominate the world
Ya a fake religion will rule the world 😬. Just dream you Islamists
I appeal to our Hindu breahren to leave Hinduism immedietely.
Hinduism is a colonial progect. It was first introduced in 1830 British education reform.
No Hindu till 1871 British Indian census.
Dalits weren’t Hindus till 1941 British Indian census.
Nowhere in Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Ramayan, Mahabharata and even in Jain as well as Budhists scriptures says about “Hinduism” as religion.
So leave the British Colonial progect “Hinduism”.
Are you a christian ?
Who are you to tell anyone to leave their Religion? or join any Religion?
Check your facts and don’t speak ill of any Religion. Hinduism is the Oldest Religion to start with, simply go to Wikipedia as you have very less knowledge , you need to do proper research.

The people who want to convert anyone’s belief or religion is never a good person and doesn’t follow any God.
In the last paragraph of my above comment, misspelled words ‘interacts marriages’ should be read as ‘intercaste marriages’, ‘noit’ is to be taken as ‘not’.

Ok…. So you embraced a religion which says,
1) Islam is the only religion acceptable to God
2) all the non Muslims (kafirs) will burn in hell
3)don’t take kafirs as your friend
4) you can take war refugees as your sex slaves..
You just became part of worlds most bigotry Religion cum cast….. Hinduism says, your caste is decided by your karma…. Lazy people don’t want to do good karma, instead blame Hinduism and glorify the religion of terrorists…
Congratulations God bless you always الحمدللہ all mideas help Humanity to get Truth
Thinking about universe and society help the Man to get guidence God help us to follow Right Path
God bless you
Narainh Mehta Saint of Hinduism says “VAISHNAV JAN TO ENE RE KAHIYE JE PEED PARAI JANE RE; PAR DUKHE UPKAR KARE TOYE MANN ABHIMAN NA JANE RE”
Prophet Muhammad Says ” THE PEOPLE MOST BELOVED TO ALMIGHTY ARE THISE WHO ARE THE MOST BENEFICENT TO HUMANITY”
So what’s the difference ??????
We all love and praise God. But
This is defination of those devotees to whom God Loves.
IBADAT SE JANNAT MILEGI AUR KHIDMAT SE KHUDA.
Meaning of this sentence will surely give us what religion is all about.
Take care dear friends. You will not find any more messages from my side.
Have a good healthy and spiritually wealthy life.
Periyar made more derogatory comments on Islam than anyone else. He thought Hinduism
Was mud and Islam something else. Interesting this author quotes Periyar
No matter which religion we follow, but how we treat others is matter. How we look the discrimination, how we respond Injustice, how we react to defference of openion.
The most misinterpreted concept of Islam in today’s world is JEHAD which in its most basic sense refers to STRUGGLE or SANGHARSH….
Struggle with one’s inner evil qualities to purify soul is the most important Jehad, example are various saint who teach the society Soul Purification.
Struggle to eradicate Social Evils, unfair Custom is another Jehad for example Babasaheb Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi,
Such Sangharah are also practised by Sanatan Daity Shree Ram And Shree Krishna
To eradicate evils of Ravan And Kansh as well as Kauravs….
It’s not merely to Killing someone…..
Islam through its Quranic verses clearly teaches that “Killing An Innocent is As Good As Killing Entire Humanity, And Saving One Innocent Life is As someone has saved entire Humanity.
But unfortunately reason behind this misinterpretation is some evil folowers who have used Islam for their personal gain and then those media and political leaders who has deviated such issues for political gain.
I would like to advise all my brother’s and sisters to please use wisdom and spare valuable time to go through Holly Islamic Books and life of Prophet Muhammad as well as sufi saints of Islam. It serves society on basis of logic, human psychology, natural justice.
I hope you will have no more questions and misinterpretation concerning it’s principal.
It will be a great gift to yourself and will surely remove all your misconceptions.
Any practice against humanity is not at all virtues of any religion.
Defination of Faith in Islam is To Surrender Our Will For The Will Of Our Creator.
Could you tell this to your brotheren who treated Yazdi women as sex slaves. Islam is cancer, don’t preach this BS.
Why only Muslim? Why not Buddist, Christian,?
Why to have a religion at all? Why not a non believer? Who stopped you from changing just a name? Why didn’t you fought this discrimination? Why ?
If someone want to know what is Islam’s most basic teaching is than that “It Firmly Belive in Oneness of Almighty, God is Only One with No Face (Nirakar Niranjan), He is the Creator of Entire Univerae (Brahmand), All creatures (Prajati)….. And sent as many as 1lac 24 thousands Prophets on earth time by time to teach way of life. Muhammad is one of them.
So the most basic difference between all the Religion of world and Islam is Islam Firmly Belive in Oneness of Almighty and Teach to Worship That Only One God, All the Creatures came in existence by One God, Than All Those whose creation and life is depending on One Almigjty they may be treated as Saint, Prophet but not God.
Even Muhammad is also a Human Being, Beloved, Prophet but not at all worshipable… If someone say he worship Muhammad He is no Muslim as well. Muhammad is Not God, Not His Son except Messenger.
People Most Beloved to Almighty are thise who are the most beneficent to the Humanity. That’s what Islam is.
Love for one’s Motherland is Part of his Faith that’s teaching of Islam.
Raise voice against any injustice is Islam.
Feed poor and take good care of them is Islam.
What is in the Quran is Mohammed’s distorted version of things, not God’s.
Sorry. Your religion talks of just ‘one’ God and that is ‘your’ God. Any other belief is unacceptable in your faith. How can this be assumed to be conveying oneness of God! I am a’kafir’for you and worthy of no respect according to your religion. Let us not pretend otherwise. The recent convert to your religion, the author ‘Raees’ has a lot of grouse against his ‘original’ religion but that is his personal experience only. That does not take anything away from the all encompassing religion that ‘Hinduism’ or Sanatan Dharma is.
Respected brothers, religion is no more than knowing yourself and your creator. It is the way of life, balanced norms of humanity and a way of life. I hope there shouldn’t be more havoc but all of us must research on scriptures ratherthan folowers.
There may be wron doers in every religion, as we all are human being and we all have some faults. We are living in 21st century a time of knowledge, time of wisdom before coming to any conclusion one must try to read the holy books, books of saints etc.
What a shame, Print is promoting one side of the coin for Islam. All religions have good side and ugly side. I can remember the news (from Uttar Pradesh) I read few months ago where a section of high caste Muslims didn’t allow to bury the dead body of low caste Muslim in the same graveyard that they use .
I am a Dalit from Patni Sub Caste. And I find this article as Hindu bashing in the guise of Dalit and promoting Islam over Hindu. Is Print a religious group now? Due to being a Dalit I got reservation in Education and Jobs which even many of my High caste friends does not have. I will be blunt here, Islam may not have caste system but they have various sects which discriminates agains5 each other which we saw. Add to that, no other religion creates an many terrorists as Islam. Whom the author is fooling here? Please don’t equate us with muslims, they are no friends of Dalits which I can vouch for from my experience. Unlike Islam, the Hinduism is progressive and discards bad practices with time, unlike Islam where no words can be changed in Quran despite being written in thousand years back. That’s the difference, Hinduism will adapt,not Islam. Go to any non Islamic nation, you will find that the most unruly community with lowest of education, employment, and social index are from Muslim community. So this article is another instance of whitewashing the ills of Islam and trying to downgrade Hinduism. Last but not the least, don’t use our Dalit community for your political agenda.
Better introspect the issues with caste system and take some corrective measures? That will be more helpful.
Better introspect the issues with caste system and take some corrective measures? That will be more helpful.
I am also from a Schedule Caste. I seldom faced discrimination in our country but that could be because ive lived in major cities like Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore. I have seen myself being identified as Harijan in my native in Gujarat but that never came in the way of anything. I have seen some of my cousins having difficulty marrying in other castes but i find that happening with any caste. I see eventually homogenisation within the country going beyond religion, caste and creed. I dont have a caste certificate anymore and i dont think the next generation might be bothered about it.
I dont know if Bathran is the author’s family name and if it is, i dont know if identifies with a caste. But i dont think one has to change the first name to change religion. We adopted Patel as our last name around Independence time because it is very generic in Gujarat and does not necessarily relate to any Scheduled Caste. I know several Indonesian Muslims who have very Indic names and dont go by Arabic Names. Iranian have Iranian names, Turkish people have Turkish Names. Hindu might the author’s identity anymore but India is still.
Islam has a caste system moron!! Sunni Shia ahmadiyya what’s all this ??!! Print gives space to any random guy just because he’s a dalit converted to some other religion. Wow!! Nice credentials
Schools of thoughts or sects doesn’t mean castes. Any person from sect A can join the sect B based on ideological changes. There is no untouchability either. In case of caste, untouchability is rampant, and one is born in a caste. I bet you already know this.
Educate your self first . See the prosecution of shia and ahmadias by sunni muslim in pakistaan. Even sunni muslim do not recognized ahmadias as muslims.
I bet you have not seen any of this but just blurting out from articles you read.
There is no untouchability been practiced now by and large. There is law to punish it. Social evils are in all societies. Heard about recently abolised triple talaaq (or do you think it liberates women along with khatna & halala) ?
If any shia and sunni can just change their ideologies pray why are there killings going on around the world in thousands every year. Stop sugar coating own problems and highlighting other people’s ones
Is there anyway to know that Raees did not take money to convert and then write about it or to use it to get his 2 mins of fame. It is so shameful that ThePrint peddles this stuff and tries to insinuate how Hinduism has problems —- damn Mr Gupta or perhaps you have converted too.
Welcome to Islam my brother. If you learn the Quran and the Hadith, you fill find that many peoples who were oppressed turn to the religion of equality and justice. Most important of all is that you leave your previous biases behind. Love everyone equally, even though the idea of caste may be imprinted in your psychology. Be sure to pray all 5 times a day, it is in these prayers that you will find peace and good health and hygiene. Fast for the full month of Ramadan, the cleansing process improves health and longevity. Take care of your fellow Muslim brothers and sisters. Shun any extremist ideologies, for they will lead you astray. And most importantly of all, do not burn your bridges with family and friends, even if they are still Hindu and believe in the caste system, Allah swt forbids disowning parent, siblings and family. You have many years of difficult learning infront of you, Islam is an easy religion to enter, but difficult to master. Good luck, may Allah swt be with you and may more oppressed people come to the faith.
lol @ ‘justice’
Caste and biradari are very much part of south asian Islam. But Congratulations – in your mind, you just left caste discrimination behind and graduated to demonization of non-muslims, conquest and their enslavement which is the foundation cornerstone of Islam from the days of the Prophet. Ambedkar on Islam :
“Islam is a close corporation and the distinction that it makes between Muslims and non-Muslims is a very real, very positive and very alienating distinction. The brotherhood of Islam is not the universal brotherhood of man. It is brotherhood of Muslims for Muslims only. There is a fraternity but its benefit is confined to those within that corporation. For those who are outside the corporation, there is nothing but contempt and enmity. … In other words, Islam can never allow a true Muslim to adopt India as his motherland and regard a Hindu as his kith and kin. That is probably the reason why Maulana Mahomed Ali, a great Indian but a true Muslim, preferred to be buried in Jerusalem rather than in India.”
Ambedkar on caste system and endorsement of slavery in Islam :
“Islam speaks of brotherhood. Everybody infers that Islam must be free from slavery and caste. Regarding slavery nothing needs to be said. It stands abolished now by law. But while it existed much of its support was derived from Islam and Islamic countries… The existence of these evils among the Muslims is distressing enough. But far more distressing is the fact that there is no organized movement of social reform among the Musalmans of India on a scale sufficient to bring about their eradication. The Hindus have their social evils. But there is this relieving feature about them—namely, that some of them are conscious of their existence and a few of them are actively agitating for their removal. The Muslims, on the other hand, do not realize that they are evils and consequently do not agitate for their removal. Indeed, they oppose any change in their existing practices. It is noteworthy that the “Muslims opposed the Child-Marriage Bill brought in the Central Assembly in 1930, whereby the age for marriage of a girl was raised to 14 and of a boy to 18 on the ground that it was opposed to the Muslim canon law. Not only did they oppose the bill at every stage but that when it became law they started a campaign of Civil Disobedience against that Act. Fortunately the Civil Disobedience campaign of the Muslims against the Act did not swell and was submerged in the Congress Civil Disobedience campaign which synchronized with it. But the campaign only proves how strongly the Muslims are opposed to social reform.”
He further writes, “Having been taught that outside Islam there can be no safety; outside its law no truth and outside its spiritual message there is no happiness, the Muslim has become incapable of conceiving any other condition than his own, any other mode of thought than the Islamic thought. He firmly believes that he has arrived at an unequalled pitch of perfection; that he is the sole possessor of true faith, of the true doctrine, the true wisdom ; that he alone is in possession of the truth—no relative truth subject to revision, but absolute truth.”
Correct brother, Islam promote equality only among Muslim members. Shari at law, jihad are the main threats of peace in contemporary world. Islam suppressed woman’s human rights. Islam denied perfect spiritual knowledge to attain liberation. There have no knowledge about ultimate reality, pure Brahman, rebirths, karmic bondage Islam focussed aggressive, slavery belief system. I thought his complex due to receive Islam. Indian philosophies have variety spiritual knowledge semantic religions including Islam,Christianity destroy truthful spirituality and they promote aggressive God, heaven, hell etc. Periyor was a social reformer not spiritual leader so follow his ideaology create hatred among soceity.
I come from a caste considered to be dalit, yes there is a feeling that we people are discriminated against by the so called upper caste hindus, conversion to islam would only prove their point,
Why should the dalits be the one to separate themselves from the Hindu religion , the religion is equally ours as it is of the so called upper caste hindus.
We cannot go on about making it against them against us and if the issue of untouchability is there, my friend it is a fact that the Indian subcontinent has made even the muslims to follow the caste system, which is a shame, but this is the reality.
It shoukd not be yiu who should keave hinduism but the so called upper caste hindus shouldnleave hinduisim because they feel too elite to the religion
Poor guy..
He has right to do anything .
Being humanist,rationalist and atheist will solve the problems.
Not by converting to ideology written ages ago
If so called mohammad converted to islam just because of discrimination then you choose a worst religion which don’t even accept sunni (shiya’s brother) as Muslim as well as Ahmadiyya a muslims , instead of they are muslim and how they treat other without discrimination, muslims teaches others to that all non Muslim is kafir and all kafir will go to hell. If this is not discrimination so what is??
And the print also trying to portrayed his own intention toward islam. How this fake
Your beloved religion affect you deeply.
People don’t want to let go their Dalit tags so as to get the perks of being dalit ,now some of sc st proudly tell that they are dalit because of the perks given by the gov, if some one want to be remain as dalit and poor than this is his fault, and we also don’t want the cast system because we hate reservation.. The so called dalit victim
Islam has hundreds of castes and sects which are brutally killing and oppressing each other. Conversion is a very big and lucrative industry in India to make fat and easy money. These maroons must know the oppression and cleansing of Dalits by Muslims in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afganistan, Kashmir, Mallapuram, Kairana, Murshidabad, Malda, Kishanganj, Siwan, Mewat, Malarkotla, Bashirabad etc places. Only Hindus give reservation and quotas to SCs,STs, OBCs, Dalits etc. Muslim institutions and minority institutions like AMU, Jamia, Deoband, Nadwa College, Presidency University, Christ Church college, Jesus and Mary College, madrasas, Wafq Board etc have no reservations and quotas. These foolish, coward and greedy converts should know the fate of traitor Jogendra Nath Mondal in Pakistan who was responsible for the genocide of Dalits in Pakistan and Bengladesh by Muslim Terrorists.
Religion is not the solution
Dear Raees,
You have taken a bold step. But why jump from frypan to fire? The best solution to get rid of the antiquated politics of yesteryears (called religion) is to denounce all religions and be a human being. I was born in a Muslim family and was taught Quran before I knew 2 plus 2 is 4. Later after studying Arabic I found that Quran itself is full of hate. It has no tolerance for non-Muslims. Let all of us get out of the clutches of these clerics, the fraudsters who cheat people by telling them that they have a hotline to God. I realise that in that region, declaration of a religion is a must and so far agnostics are not recognised, but people like you should come out and get united as a group of humans with no religion. Just a love for “humanity”. I have paid a price for declaring myself a non-believer, when my name was struck off the voter’s list in Pakistan. The society extracts a price from the non-conformists. So be it. Let us be a little more bold and denounce all religions.
Islam is always the ONLY answer to everything and that is where the problem lies my brother. Congratulations on converting, I am sure Hindus will do better with one less bigoted person among themselves. I know you must be wondering “How am I bigoted?!” lookup “bigotry of low expectations”. We Hindus will fight our own evils and better ourselves each day every day. We believe in fixing the problem and not start throwing toys out of the pram. While you enjoy being the most perfect creature in the universe.
Religion is a personal choice so one respects your decision. However the assumption that the caste bias will be magically go away because of conversion is naive at best. For that, we as a nation need to work on improving education and reducing mistrust and hatred among people – irrespective of our religion. Hope you find peace.
Sir please don’t convert to Islam.
Mohamed is new and very much in love with his new identity. There are crores of Dalits who were converted to Islam by invaders under threats of swords. Just look at their present condition. You will also be same after some time.
This is level of hypocrisy. Citizenship bill has nothing to do with dalit. U choose a religious that have no caste? Read about shia ,sunni and Ahmadi.Atleast Hinduism don’t allow killing of oerson because if his believe. They don’t kill,rape or force convert other peoples. How much terrorist paid u to write this article?
Agreed hinduism has ugly caste system
But does Islam really have equality?
If yes who is dalit muslim?
Who are ajlaf and ashraf,?
Why indian muslims are divided into so many sub categories
Why ahmediyas are considered non muslim
These are sects. Means different understanding of same scriptures. You guys haven’t read your own scriptures. You just like watching fictional movie made on hindu Mahabharata character!…..
Ohh really then what about Pakistan?war between saudi and Iran? Jizya? Killing of christians? They don’t even consider other sects equal to them. Shame bro
Changing religion is like running away from your problem rather than solving it.. I dont know for some reasons Many Indians always chose to run away from problems..
Who CARES Loser ?
Convert to Islam or Scientology – why advertise and do such self promotional drama if your conversion is not just some political stunt ?
Just have the courage that you won’t stand in line and “beg”that your children be given reservation as SC category !
I am a Hindu and I don’t think Islam is a solution to anything if the goal is a progressive world. But I completely accept and empathise with your point. Hinduism as it is practiced is utterly corrupt and shameful and your concerns reflect our failure as a country.
It is true that the plight of the sanitation workers, sweepers, sewage line cleaners and scavengers is indescribable. But then why dalit leaders and leftists never demanded adoption of mechanical sweepers and floor cleaners, sewerage cleaning machine? Why did they not demand that every house should be connected to a sewer so that manual scavenging and carrying night soil on head could be abolished? Years ago, Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai had proposed gradual adoption of sweeping machines for Mumbai’s roads. The sanitary workers were up in arms and the proposal was abandoned.
The author of the article should have researched on the prevalence of discrimination in Muslim countries. Their it is not called “caste.” That’s all. While he is free to choose his path, his views are not sincere
This is why Hindus are tolerant. The same suggestions to people of Islamic faith would have killed the journalist. If we push for conversions from Islam because it’s a violent religion, I bet you will blow up something.
And what caste system are you talking about, the entire Middle East is chaos because of infighting between Shia and Sunni. This is called half baked knowledge.
When a Dalit highlights his problems , the responses to it from many Hindus highlights a pathetic lack of compassion and empathy. While I do not agree with author about one organized religion solving a problem foisted on by another, I do feel that it is better to do just about anything, rather than accepting gross injustice.In Tamil Nadu you have the example of Oscar winner A R Rahman who has done extremely well .
Why is Print the platform for neo converts, hope the founders are not getting lucrative deals to publish this thrash.
Inter caste marriage is happening only between pandit thakurs baniya and kayasth. Not between dalit and pandit or dalit and thakurs.
You could have turned to Aethism. or Buddhism, as Dr Ambedkar did!
Now that you are a Muslim, be an honourable Muslim. Don’t participate in the reservation for Muslims theme. Islam doesn’t have caste and hence you MUST shun caste based reservation
Great answer…… he should be read ambedkar about nationalism and Islam…… before they converted to Islam…… they will be never converted into it….. and thats why ambedkar ji not accepted islam. Evre dalit brothers and sisters plz read that book before converted.
Another Sinead O’Connor. Very stable and “emancipated”.
You have researched poorly. Islam also has the baggage of caste, just look at any literature from the Pasmanda movement and consider how similar it is to the literature in the anti-caste movement from Hinduism.
Islam has its own baggage of caste to deal and is not the panacea for this very reason. You should have become a buddhist instead, it at least does have the historical baggage that Islam currently does.
Extremely sad to know that you have chosen to change your religion. I do not blame you. You have mentioned that EVR advised Ambedkar to convert to Islam. But did Babasaheb do it? No. Why? Ponder please
Haha.. Raees Mohammad , why didnt u chose your name as Raees Peerzade, then i would like to see how you are treated within muslim community.
Moreover why donnt you eat in toilet if toilet is not a filty place to have alongside Temple.
And you say education didnt help you shed Dailt Tag , i would like to know your education ?
And once you leave hinduism, , you no
Dalits stood by their faith and beliefs against Islamic forces by poaching pigs, practicing ghoonghat, or red soaked feet while entering the house. Even if the larger Hindu society did not accept them.
Dr Ambedkar view was critical of Islam which is very well documented. He turned to Buddhism accepting failures of Hindu society and not the Hindu as a dharma.
you are well within your rights to choose any path you deem fit. This is the beauty of India. Now, since You have chosen a path, remember not to spread terror, hate and violence against any religion. May You find peace and solace in Your new avatar.
Islam is caste free, but then equality is still a problem. What about the way the religion treats its women. How do the women of the household respond to this ?
Now that You have converted .You can marry 4
You can give talk at will.Buy 2 burkhas and force it on your wife and.daughter.Above all reserve a place by killing a kafir
By that logic will The print try to publish article on Mr Mahendra Nath Arya (Ex Muslim) who is now Hindu (arya samaji) on why he left Islam ( the Arabic religion).
Mr Mahendra Nath Arya (Ex Muslim) wouldn’t be acceptable to Hindus, for whom he would still be a Muslim! No Hindu wopuld marry his son or daughter to such the daughter or son of such an ex-Muslim! HE WOULD REMAIN AN OUTCASTE! HE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER OFF REMAINING A MUSLIM!
No, He is very accepted in the Hindu society, and most Hindus in urban areas do not ask for the caste and previous religion except for getting information for auspicious reasons, like what date to set for wedding.
Many Hindu parents let their child marry Muslims, who would have an issue with an ex Muslim?
I don’t think that he will be an
outcast.
So now the the print is acting as jihadi piece, who knows this guy is not a Hindu from SC bkgd but a Islamists jihadi bkgd. For Ambedkar, he used much worse words for Islam than for others. He wanted all Muslims to leave this country and complete population exchange.
The author has not been sincere in his research for this article . He says, “In my years of research, I too found Islam to be the only religion in India with the strength to annihilate the caste system.” How can a religion, itself steeped in the business of discrimination , fight discriminate ?! Sorry newly minted RAEES MOHAMMED, your conversion to escape the poison of casteism is well entrenched even in Islam.
All you had to do was google “caste in Islam”and you would have had your answer. Now it seems your conversion has been in vain.
All “religions” are a menace to the human race. Now if you really care to be well-informed and know how even in Islam “name” indicates caste, then click on the links below.

Reading Raees Mohammed’s article, I felt, the author was just pandering to the political strategy of the opposition to create a new Muslim+Dalith vote-bank. In that sense this is a biased article. And I suspect it is a poorly a researched article because the intention was to be biased to being with. Such an article should not find a place on a website that I personally consider sincere and unbiased.
Tumhare sochne ke tarike se mujhe afsos hota hai, afsos hi nahi sharm aati hai mujko.
This is a dialogue from hindi movie ‘Shakti’.
Exactly fits here !!!
It’s these kind of convert Muslims, who are a danger to society rather than the Muslim community as a whole, who are still being used by pseudo seculars political parties for their selfish and vote bank politics. In the year 1947 when the country was partitioned on religious lines, it was then that the constitutional fathers should have stripped the Muslim community of their voting rights, by which these sickular politicians wings would have been clipped.
Dear Prakash, let us try and understand the only shortcoming of Hindus which is caste system. This guy did not convert to Islam because it was his first choice, he did so because he feels it will be more equitable there! While I think he might be mistaken, but its his right, isnt it? Now differences between all castes in Hindus are quickly being wiped out by the new generation due to inter mingling and loads of inter caste marriages. But, it might still take a few decades for dalits to feel truly a part of Hindu society.
wrong, it is due to 70 yr leftist educational propaganda against Hindus. And susprising most of these leftist are with Hindu names. The dangerous Arabic religion has many more problems including terrorism which is absent here. Do you think this cannot be understood by people of any bkgd, they can but yes, state educational institutes needs to do communication on this.
LIES, LIES AND LIES! There never was “70 yr leftist educational propaganda against Hindus”.
Give us a proof that islam is truth. We have all the proof that islam is a dangerous hoax.
Bro i think you are getting funded from islamic missionary system pls Google it “ex muslims ” and apostates you will surely get answers , by converting to islam you are harming yourself and the humanity tooo
So instead of facing the embarrassing fact that a Dalit left Hinduism due to the oppression of caste, you are sore at the fact that Muslims have voting rights in India? Shouldn’t upper caste Hindu introspect and discard Hinduism’s caste system altogether if they want to prevent other Ravichandrans from becoming Raees. Mat karo, hame Kya, our numbers increase Alhamdulillah 🙂
As Hindu you have the liberty and choice. Now you don’t have that – try to leave hislam you are apostate and will be killed. 9 out of 10 hislam terror victims are mohslums . 52 hislam countries don’t give right to vote .
Yes, hislam countries have oil and pay you well besides giving you 4 girls to enjoy. BabaSaheb had refused hislam because he was not greedy for money and women.
Only increasing numbers hardly helps. It is a pity that the condition of dalits in our country who converted to Islam lured by “equality” is deplorable to say the least. Positive affirmative action like reservation has brought and is still bringing out millions of backward caste hindus everyday from poverty to equality.
Sachar report places the condition of indian Muslims below the dalits in all fronts- economic, health, education… So much so that they take benefit of reservation gleefully as backwards and dalits today. Then they ask for more reservation as muslims per se. We still have huge reservations for dalit Christians. Much irony!
There is no refuge in mere numbers.
yes, like virus.
yes, like virulent disease. and shall perish in same manner too.
Great answer brother , inshallah ,Islam will rule the hearts of all human beings and dominate the world
Ya a fake religion will rule the world 😬. Just dream you Islamists
I appeal to our Hindu breahren to leave Hinduism immedietely.
Hinduism is a colonial progect. It was first introduced in 1830 British education reform.
No Hindu till 1871 British Indian census.
Dalits weren’t Hindus till 1941 British Indian census.
Nowhere in Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas, Ramayan, Mahabharata and even in Jain as well as Budhists scriptures says about “Hinduism” as religion.
So leave the British Colonial progect “Hinduism”.
Are you a christian ?
Who are you to tell anyone to leave their Religion? or join any Religion?
Check your facts and don’t speak ill of any Religion. Hinduism is the Oldest Religion to start with, simply go to Wikipedia as you have very less knowledge , you need to do proper research.

The people who want to convert anyone’s belief or religion is never a good person and doesn’t follow any God.
In the last paragraph of my above comment, misspelled words ‘interacts marriages’ should be read as ‘intercaste marriages’, ‘noit’ is to be taken as ‘not’.
