HINDUTVA'BADIS THREATEN TO MARIGINALISE MUSLIMS......
">
The Right-wing parties have been portraying Muslims as ‘outsiders', 'invaders' and 'plunderers’, thereby causing hatred and alienation among India’s Hindu citizens. This false propaganda tactics of the Desi Nazis are also creating a fear psychosis in the majority community.
The Hindutva parties have been successful in their agenda of vilifying all minority welfare schemes as ‘appeasement of Muslims’ which has caused huge setback to the process of integration of the mostly backward community to the mainstream society in India. This willful campaign by Hindutvavadis has also forced the country’s policy makers taking a defensive and a very cautious positioning lest they be accused of indulging in vote-bank politics.
The Bhagwa elements which have infiltrated in the entire system have also succeeded in their mission to erase from the public memory the indispensible contribution by the Muslims in the freedom struggle of India and this has given a chance to the ‘pseudo-nationalists’ to question the patriotism and the loyalties of the Indian Muslims. Needless to say that any minority community, whose loyalties to the nation are under suspicion, cannot claim rights equal to those of the ‘patriotic’ majority community.
This sorry state of Indian politics of sidelining the Muslims goes back to the early days of our nationhood when an eyewash treatment was meted out to the great freedom fighter Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.
The Muslims have often been handed out lollipops in the form of rubber-stamp presidents and vice presidents, and even this symbolic gesture of appointment of Muslim presidents- which in no way brought any real benefit to the minority community, has been viewed as appeasement of Muslims by the Hindutvabadi people.
The objective of the divisive campaign by the Hindutvabadi forces is to create fear psychosis among people and cause further polarisation in the society so that votes of the majority Hindu community can be consolidated. The hullabaloo over the special status to Kashmir, 1984 Sikh genocide, 2002 state sponsored massacre of Muslims in Gujarat, portrayal of Muslims as traitors and terrorists, accusing the secular parties of indulging in ‘appeasement politics’ are the parts of the foul strategy of the Saffron forces to hamper the social and economic development of Muslims. Their aim is to annihilate the political might of the Muslims and finally marginalise or maim them in the society.
Unless a Muslim is made the head of the state, the Indian securalism cannot boast of coming of age. All the ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities should be made equal partners in the policy-making process of the country. Otherwise the claim that India is a great democracy will remain disputed. Appointing a Muslim as a PM nominee will be the best celebration of our secular ethos envisaged by the founding fathers of our constitution.
