CHALLENGES FACING INDIA

MUSLIM CONTRIBUTION ON MODERN INDIA.

India has benefited from time immemorial by trade between Arab countries and Indian peninsula. Even today our oil requirements are met by none other than Arab countries.
There has been interaction for centuries or perhaps more than thousand years. Many of our heritage sites have been built by none other than Muslim rulers. In the recent past our best phase of ruling has been definitely by Moguls. British only have looted us while Muslim rulers contributed to our development and amity between the two main communities. Especially Akbar’s period is the best example.

They have been part of our folklore and development and in many states they do contribute heavily towards Hindu festivals. The Muslims of Kashmir has from time immemorial helped old aged pilgrims by carrying them on the shoulder up the mountains of Himalayas, where most of Hindu sacred temples are located. How can they feel not part of India? Without their contribution we would not have been great as a country internationally. Without their talent and contribution our bollywood would not have been as successful as it is today. Their dressing, music and instruments of music invented by them and with their great looks, they have made waves of successful films and music. Our entertainment industry’s huge success for last few decades have been due to personalities like Nargis, Vahida, Mumtaz, Kajol, Farah , Aamir, Shahrukh, Salman,Sohail Priety only to name a few . They have made millions of people forget their misery of living at least for few hours.

Most of our infighting and alienation started with the British ‘divide and rule’ policy. They were the first ones to tempt Muslims by giving them pork oil to clean the guns. That can be termed as the first instance when administration knowingly played games to stir up communal fusion. The same cheap acts are followed even today by narrow minded people.

Unfortunately, we are witnessing the same tactics being played by our politicians for their vote bank political success and hunger for power. It is the duty of each and every Hindu to denounce such tactics by voting for secularism which will have to be the single issue in the next elections. We the Hindus, Christians and Muslims along with other minority religions should start a mass movement to alienate those professing division between our populace in lines of Religion, Community and creed. Let the coming election be fought on the planks of unity or diversity. No patriot Indian can imagine in lines of religion and forget all their contribution in our nation building over centuries. We all have to unite and defeat the narrow minded polititicians’ cheap and moral less stance. Terrorists as all agrees have no community. We find such people among all religions. They need to be shown that their nefarious activities will not succeed.
