What is wrong with Indian Muslims? Why are they not getting Angry ?
V.T. Rajshekhar, Editor, Dalit Voice
What is happening to India’s Muslims who form the country’s single largest community with a 20% population plus endowed with a powerful religion? Some Dalit friends complain that despite DV giving so much support, Muslims are not coming to support it. This is true. Our representative in Hyderabad, Dr. Yadaiah, said every time the Muslims invited him to their meetings he would never fail but when he invited them there was hardly any response. Barring two leaders of the Tameer-e-Millat (Rahim Qureshi) and Jamate-Islami others did not turn up at our Hyderabad function. Even they also went away after speaking. Our Delhi silver jubilee celebrate on April 8, 2007 was attended by Syed Shahabuddin and the editor of the Radiance of the Jamate Islami.
Dalit-Muslim unity: Rahim Qureshi of the Tameer-e-Millat, a friend of the Editor for the past 25 years, in his speech at our Hyderabad meeting called upon the Dalits to join hands with Muslims. In our speech we told him that We were the founders of the Dalit-Muslim unity movement and published a book on the subject which was released by the late Moulana Ali Miyan. We went around the country several times, meeting Muslim religious leaders all of whom welcomed the Dalit-Muslim unity but did hardly anything to further the cause. The Muslim leadership is more interested in Hindu-Muslim unity which is never possible. Will the lamb ever believe the wolf?Dalits are too willing to join Muslims. They have nothing against them. In fact all their literature and all their speeches are directed only against their Brahminical enemies.
In the Old Ahmedabad, Dalits and Muslims have been living together since generations. During 1981, we rushed to Ahmedabad and brought about tremendous Dalit-Muslim unity to fight the upper caste Patels. But within a couple of years the BJP won over the Dalits and instigated them against Muslims. And the result was the 2002 Gujarat Genocide. Why the Muslim leadership failed to keep up the Dalit-Muslim unity brought about in 1981 of which Gujarat Dalit Panther leaders Ramesh Chandra Parmar and Valjibhai Patel were the main actors?
Today, the Muslim isolation from Dalits is total. This the case all over India. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh fooled the Muslims through the Sachar Report the cunning Khatri PM master-minded the Sachar committee to mislead the Muslims. Muslims are hated, persecuted, jailed, dubbed terrorists and killed in thousands not because they are poor. But because they are hated by the Hindus. Muslims are killed only because they are Muslims. But the PM with the help of his jatwala Khatri chairman of the committee succeeded in fooling the elite Muslims and the Sachar Report became a talking point at hundreds of Muslim seminars. Sachar committee was aimed at diverting the anger of the revolutionary Muslims and keeping the elite Muslims entertained. The PM and the Brahminical ruling class thus fooled the Muslims. They fooled the Muslims because the Muslims are willing to be fooled.The Muslim problem is not economic but social and cultural. The Sachar Committee had nothing to say on the social and cultural slow death of a community.
How long this elite Muslims, who are not even 5% of the Muslim population, go on fooling to community? it is now over an year since the Sachar report was presented. Except discussions, seminars and shedding of crocodile tears over Muslims, nothing has been done.
Another committee on Sachar Report: Now the Khatri PM has come with another brain-wave to further fool the Muslims: set up another committee to examine the Sachar committee recomendations. It will be called “Equal Opportunities Commission” to hoodwink the Muslims. But many upper castes will get Cushy job for 2-3 years. The Brahminical game plan is when you want to kill something set up a committee.
This is how the Srikrishna Commission Report on the Shiv Sena-led mass murder of Muslims in Bombay was simply thrown to in the waste paper basket. Muslims are being continuously deceived even as thousands and thousands of innocent Muslims are rotting in the jail for years.India’s single largest community is condemned as anti-national as terrorist. But there is no murmur from the condemned community.
Look at UP, India’s politically most important state which 18% Muslim presence. Dalits (23%), has a party (BSP). When Dalits can form a party why not Muslims? But Yadavs who are just 7% used the MY (Muslim-Yadav) unity stunt under Mulayam and ruled the state thrice. Kurmis have Apna Dal. Every jati is having its own party in UP. But Muslims run around six parties — without having their own.
