Burning Quran,Chopping Hand,Destroying Temples,Bringing Down Mosque-Religion If Misunderstood brings animal out of humans

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

Religion is one of most powerful and influential entity in human civilization.It has immensely contributed in directing human civilization , contributing in social system , inducing moral values . Human civilization is indebted to religion for taking human race to current position.

But as religion has played important role in positive terms ,it has also being responsible for many blood sheds , murders,looting and division among human race.

People in dream of getting heaven or protecting their religious identity quiet often forget the very base of being human. People forget that logic , compassion , love , hope makes us human .People forget that our ancestors have worked really hard to take us where we are and in over zeal of religion people tend to get back to roots and that is jungle from where we all started at first place.

West bengal’s deganga is seeing riots . Trinamool Congress MP Haji Nurul Islam is alleged to be leading disillusioned mob and the mob is doing what mob can do the best. That is killing of innocent ,looting shops and destroying worship place. Since mob is of fanatic muslims , the people at receiving hands are hindus.

Ironically Hindus being in majority , Indian media didnt find it too exciting to cover the news like it did in Gujarat riot case. There is no sabse tej , no name calling and no ngos rushing to save Hindus. Gujarat riots cannot be justified of course. It saw deganga reversed and slaughter of Muslims . All in name of god..

Another incident which is shocking and worth condemning is chopping of hands of christian professor in kerala by some Islamic fanatic. Professor’s crime was that he is alleged of insulting Muhammad. Now what professor did was hurting religious sentiment and what is civilized way of bringing professor to justice?. Launch a police complain and get the professor arrested. Did these fanatic do that?. Well no. They used ways which are obsolete , violent and worth condemning as human ,irrespective of whether one is hindu or Muslim or christian or Sikh or anything . They simply chopped his hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If chopping hands or slaughter of hindus in deganga or gujarat riots is shocking , well a church in Florida has decided to burn qurans on 9/11/2001. Now how does burning quran help?. Only this church can answer but Islamic center near ground zero is said to have created anti Islam drive in usa and many are actually supporting the burning.

Fanatics of every religion view world in very narrow prism. World for them is we v/s they. Those who believe in their book or prophet or god come in category of “We” ,while those who dont they fall in category of “They”. “WE” too has lot of divisions but “They” is what these fanatics either want to convert or eliminate. In the process of dividing world into we v/s they , what these fanatics forget is religion is for humans and not animals and killing anyone or destroying their cherished places in not being human. What ever god they worship cannot be happy seeing people getting killed and there cannot be any heaven for murders.

Religion is lethal if misunderstood and can bring animal out of humans. Riots , killings,murders,demolishing worship places. That is not religion .

As world is becoming more and more smaller place , the interaction between people with different regional identity , different faith and different nationality would increase. Human race is neither hindu or muslim or christian or sikh or parsi. It is human race. Deep within we all are same , beneath the layers of hindus or muslims or christians is a human being who loves ,hopes,desires ,dreams. This human is universal and this human needs to evolve and brought into daily life.

Whether I call almighty as allah or god or shiv or jesus is my personal matter and it should be the case. When any human being walks out of his house,he is just representative of human race.

Saffron Terror, Chidambaram And Narendra Modi

Saturday, September 4th, 2010

Today My client called me at four p.m. to reschedule our meeting from 6 p.m. to 5 p.m. I confirmed the rescheduling and left my office at 4.30 pm. While I was driving through the traffic ,I saw a hoarding which picture of narendra modi. It read -’Kesari ae to tirango no aangh ,congress kaahe ae atankvaad no rang’ which means ’saffron is part of national flag,while congress calls it color of terrorism’.

As soon as chidambaram spoke those two words , BJP went on offensive. Generally two words found most offensive start dont start with s and t but these ones did. ‘Saffron Terror’. Considering how seasoned chidambaram is ,both in politics as well as in his law profession , he knew what he was speaking about and he knew what this words would directly,indirectly mean.

BJP , on other hand has right to attack because saffron is not just color of extremist outfits but also color of BJP flag (which has green too),RSS too and as that hoarding rightly said color present in our national flag too.

Saffron is not just limited to above three ,it is part of Indian culture. It is in flags of temple , it is color of sacrifice and it is color cherished by India since centuries. But did BJP get offended because of that?.Did chidambaram meant that when he occured those two words?

Answer in No. Chidambaram was not targeting general Indian masses .He was targeting fanatics in Hindus. Now if you ask any muslim about jihad and jihadi?. They would immediately react that jihad is part of Islam and obligatory on muslims but these so called jihadis are not part of Islam. Islam can do no harm to innocent is common belief shared by muslims all across the world which is perfectly understandable but it remains a fact that fanatics in muslims are cause of concerns for even muslim dominated countries like pakistan , afghanistan, Iraq , Sudan ,Somalia . According to those fanatics their version of Islam is true Islam and rest followers or believers have corrupted true belief system.

As muslims are usually in denial about these jihadi , Hindus are more or less equally in denial with possibility of fanatics in Hinduism. True Hinduism does not have single book which can be used for mis interpretation. True Hinduism believes that there are many ways to god . True Hinduism does not belief in conversion and Hinduism does not have strong belief in heaven and prefer moksha above heaven. A soul harming any innocent would get re birth and would be stuck in end less cycle of births is what Hinduism believes in but still that didn’t stop bombs getting exploded in places where investigation is leading towards fanatics among Hindus. It didn’t stop girls getting bashed outside manglore pub .

When we need to view fanatic , we need to look at larger view. We need to look humans beings as plain human beings not tagged as Hindus,Muslims ,Christians or other religious units…When we talk about Muslims or Hindus or Christians we aren’t talking about individuals but groups.Groups which are crores and fanaticm being human phenomena ,the bug can bite any one and fanaticm is based on ideology not religion only. Ideology that ‘my way is the only way, rest have to fall in line or perish’. Naxals are fanatics too though they don’t believe in any religion. Taliban are fanatics too , though they believe is radical Islam . Christianity has had its share of fanaticm and crusader is perfect example of that.

As human being we must nurture our coming generation in environment where co existence of various faith can exist together. We often blame pakistan but forget what pakistan is right now going through. All eminent scholars , media personnels and liberal of pakistan agree that pakistan is paying price of inducing extremism in their country , twenty years back.

If we dont learn from our neighbours , we too are heading their way.(by we I mean Indians which includes every person living in India irrespective of faith he/she follows). So chidambaram’s point must not get lost in color controversy. It does have important message in it.

Now coming back to color which chidambaram mentioned. Well he made sure his comments serves the purpose . Saffron terror can work for congress in getting votes from minority and liberals while saffron can very well mean bjp,rss instead of purohit and pragyas..It is like hitting two birds with one stone.

But if chidambaram can hit stone , narendra modi has always been successful in catching same stone and hitting it back. The hoarding says it all. Narendra Modi ,irrespective of extreme emotions he generates ,if one views him with prejudice , he is master is using any situation to best of his advantage. The more congress tries to gain political mileage by nailing right wing ,the more powerful modi would become in gujarat.

Modi and congress actually work to each others advantage. Being popular among their respective voters who fear/hate/worry about each other and it works. Saffron terror or Jihadi ..It works but amidst war of words , amidst emotions attached to saffron , we must not forget larger context and perceptive. India is liberal democracy and only thing which we need in India is implementing constitution in letter and spirit. Nailing fanatic muslims , fanatic sikhs , fanatic hindus and every person who can be threat to right of belief , freedom of expression and constitution of India.-Jai Hind

‘Muslim Soldier’ Faisal Shahzad Pleads Guilty

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Faisal shahzad , the pakistani born , usa citizen who tried to blow bomb at new york times square pleaded guilty.

He described himself as muslim soldier while his attempt as part of answer to usa. Calling it war he didn’t regret trying to target citizen. According to him citizen of usa are not different since they elect governments.

He described his failed attempt as revenge of usa’s occupation on Muslim lands , drone attack on Somalia , pakistan and military operations in afghanistan and Iraq.

He also warned usa that till it continues with its occupation , operations and attacks , more attacks of usa might occur.

Now this so called muslim soldier failed to see that time square is busy street and muslims too might had got killed in bomb would have triggered.

What this so called muslim soldier also failed to see that drone attacks in pakistan are aimed at people who kill fellow muslims like they killed so many in pakistan , itself.

What this so called muslim soldier failed to see is sadam too killed muslims like he claims usa did by invading Iraq.

What this so called muslim soldier also failed to see is so many muslims who live in europe and usa in search of better life in terms of money and quality.

The most important thing which faizal failed to see is global politics and myth that muslims are one nation. Because if that would have been the case , we wont have had so many different countries in arab world , we wont have seen iran-iraq war , we wont have seen iraq invadin kuwait and we wont have seen so many blood sheds for power in history of muslim world.

This post is not about defending usa . What usa is doing is what it thinks its best to serve its interest while what it uses a means for serving its interest are not kids as far as government heads or countries are concerned. They work as per what they think is best for them.

Did usa force pakistan to become launching pad for jihadis fighting against ussr. Pervez now mentions that problems which pakistan faces today are side effects of ussr war.

Did usa force karzai to become president or for that matter iraqi politicians?. They could have refused if they wanted but they thought it to be best for themselves and their country to be part of the plan.

It is high time for people of various faith to realize that religion and politics are two different things. Latter has used former to gain access to power but later is not former.

No faith in the world has stopped people from using other people , murdering others , slaughtering others , no matter what religion preaches.

If people like faizal really want to do good for their community and really curb usa’s interference , the works starts at home. Make sure that people are served , nurtured and made effectiv force which prosper economically , scientifically . Once that is done , rest would fall in place.

Terrorism wont help and it would give bad name to community and innocent , peaceful people would suffer.

Now Fatwa For Educating Muslim Girls

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

It is season of fatwas for largest muslim seminary in India , Darul Uloom of Deoband.  Answering to various question posted to them from various people ,all across India , deoband is coming up with new fatwas everyday.

First they had fatwa for working women in which they called for using veil in office and not mingle with male colleagues. This fatwa was slammed by liberal muslims like javed akhtar.

Liberals in every religion are more focused towards essence of religion than traditions and liberals are always threatened by so called religious followers who get confused with religion and tradition. Javed akhtar too received threat for his comments of fatwa for working women.

After fatwa for working women , deoband issued another fatwa against birthday celebrations. According to them such celebrations are jews and chrisitian inititatives and not as per Islam. This too has mixed reactions.

But now deoband have come up with fatwa which would be hailed by liberal muslims as well as any right thinking person , irrespective of religion.

The new fatwa states that every muslim girl should get educated . According to deoband , the  man who educates his daughter , sister , takes care of them and marrys them to nice family gets heaven. Education is must for both man and woman in Islam and the backwardness of muslims (Indian muslims) is largely because of lack of education.

Fatwa & Women Empowerment

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Woman cannot work where they have to mingle with man without veil . Woman cannot mingle with her male colleagues.

This are views of largest muslim seminary in India , Darul Uloom of Deoband who has issued fatwa against muslim women and asked them to veil themselves and not mix with male colleagues.

Maulana Abul Irfan Firangimahli , a sunni cleric has backed the fatwa stating that career oriented women might get good life here but they are answerable to god (allah) after death.

Few months back a influential muslim  had slammed working women citing that their chief role is nurturing kids . This he had said during woman reservation bill debate.

Woman’s role concerns are not limited to religion is subcontinent and old civilization belts. Many hindu bodies precribe to similar views about woman , her roles and are against woman opting for careers.

Ironically this fatwa comes just day after independent report of plight of mothers in India. India stands 73rd in list of 77 countries as far as woman health is concerned.

How is this fatwa and report related?. Well majority of men (specially other than metro/mega cities) are first people to define what is woman role but convinently forget what is man’s role!!!!!!

The more woman becomes financially independent , the better she would be able to live life confidently and more she is likely to take care of herself , her children and also have relationship with her husband on equal terms. Most important thing for happy married life.

Needless to say this fatwa has been slammed by working muslim woman.
