THE TIMES OF LEAGUE

170 MILLION MUSLIM COMMUNITY

TO TOE THE POLITICAL LINE OF IUML IS THE COMPULSION OF TIME

M. Abdul Rahman, Ex. M.P.,

The Rastriya Swayam Sevak Sangh - RSS was

started in 1925 in Nagpur and is continuously
striving to establish a Hindu rastra in India. In the
organization there is a Sub-Committee called Akil
Bharath Kariyari Mandal. It is RSSs higher planning
body. The conducting of Annual Meeting by this
higher level planning body is customary one. But this
is the first time that mandal meeting is conducted in
Lucknow from October13,2014 for ten days.
The Hindu daily in its 13-10-2014 edition
writes the specialty and the importance of
this meeting as follows. Starting Monday
the Annual Meeting of the Mandal is likely
to take crucial decisions that will formulate
the saffron organizations future plans and
strategies. Mr. Sandeep Joshi who released
the above news further states that the
important Agenda of this Mandal meeting
is to plan to bring a close nexus between
the BJP government in the centre and the Nagpur
organization. Resolutions regarding the proposed
plans on education religion and social affairs are
to be passed in the meeting. Further a deed of
document envisaging what are the things that the
Modis government is expected to be implemented
is to be drafted. Further the news states that the
RSS president Sarsand Salak Mohan Bhagawath Vice
President Sarkeria wagh suresh Biyaji Joshi and other
BJP front line leaders will participate in the meeting.
It is a open fact that the BJP is the political
branch of RSS and the majority of the ministers in
the central government including the Prime Minister
are the products of the RSS organization. at a time
when the BJP occupies the ruling chair with absolute
majority, there are more possibilities that the policies
constantly pressed by the RSS will be converted
into plans of central government. The Mandal
meeting is convened in lucknow, just to study these
possibilities. When the mandal meeting was progress
the Kanchi Kama Kodi mat Sankarachari Jayandera
Swaraswathi met the All Muslim Personal Law Board
Executive member lucknow Ayishbagh Idga Imam
Moulana Qalith Rasheed firangi Mahali to find a
compromise formula on the Babri Masjid Issue. The
Muslim Personal Law Board categorically stated that
the Babri Masjid issue was pending in the Supreme
Court, we ware anticipating the judgment, and hence
it was not the subject matter to be negotiated out
of the court. There is no doubt that Sankara Aachari
attempt to negotiate with the Muslim Personal Law
Board shall be debated in the lucknow mandal
meeting. Will they wait till the Pronouncement of
Supreme Court Judgment? Or will they announce any
plan for the construction of Ram temple at the Babri
Masjid demolished sight as announced in the BJP
election manifesto. It will be known within 10 days.
It is necessary to read this news that announced
lucknow mandals plans schemes regarding Education,
Religion and Social affairs in connection with the
news published in todays (13-10-2014). Tamil Daily
THE HINDU. The New York Time Published from
America is world popular. The Hindu has rendered
the writing appeared in the New York Times in to
Tamil. It is as follows.

Prof. Khader Mohideen

Mr. Narendra Modi stated in his election campaign
that he would introduce the Gujarat Modal in the
central government administration. Majority of
the voters believed that what he meant was the
excellent economical growth. But the Gujarat modal
is otherwise. It is meant to include the book written
by Deenanath Bathra into educational
curriculum. Deenanath Bathra with his
hindutuva rightist thinking is very active
person in writing to change the history. He
is the person who pressurized the penguin
publication to withdraw the book The
Hindus : an alternative history written by
Vadi Daniger last February alleging that
the book defames the Hindu religion. The
Gujarat government in the month of June
ordered that the text books written by him
should be included in the syllabus.
One cannot brush aside his teachings right from
trivial matters to extreme philosophy for example
students should not celebrate their birthday by
litting the candle and cutting the cake because
these customs are not Indian. Further his books
emphasis that Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Tibet, Nepal,
Pakistan, to be included in the Akhand Bharat Map..
He Further states that Aeroplane , Motor vehicles,
Nuclear weapons were in vogue in ancient India and
the problem isthat he wants the students to learn
these facts. In the year 1999 the central government
headed by BJP appointed Bathra to re write the
history books in the view of hindutuwa Philosophy .
Now it seems the present BJP wants to continue the
same where it previously stopped. Bathra states that
Human Resource Development Minister Smriti Irani
has assured him that his book would be a part of
national syllabus.
The Education is very essential for a countrys
future. To haphazardly decide to find out the Indian
cultural customs by concealing the historical truths
should not find a place in field of education .This
will tend to create a dangerous view on india in our
neighboring countries . First we must understand
that RSS is an ideological organization. It has got
BJP at the center to practice its principles throughout
India. BJP government is distinct, different, extreme
and decisive from other governments that ruled
the country. They will strive hard to implement its
policies on any account. There is on doubt that the
Indian Muslim status will become doubtful when they
fulfill their goal. Only when we prevent the RSS from
implementing its hindutuwa ideology through the
BJP Government Muslims will find no place in India.
Realizing this it is the time to stress that Indian Muslim
community must politically come under the umbrella
of Indian Union Muslim League. The present India
will continue forever only when all the political forces
in the Indian politics practicing democratic. Secular,
Social, Justice, Policies, come together. In order to
create the unity of such political force first of all the
170 million Muslim community living in India should
toe the political line adopted the IUML, the Minoritys
Political organization. This is the compulsion of the
time.

THE TIMES OF LEAGUE

Gandhis inspirations
from the glorious Quran

Shafee Ahamed Ko
M.K.Gandhis views and movements
are popular over the world. Seen as
an inspiration, he earns a special place
in the hearts of many as a charismatic
leader who led by principles of
simplicity and non-violence. But not
many are aware of the role played by
Islamic teachings in shaping up the
man.
Gandhi drew inspirations from
the glorious Quran, the blessed life
of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and
that of his companions. Of Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) he said in an
interview with Young India (September 23, 1924) I wanted to know
the best of one who holds today undisputed sway over the hearts of
millions of mankind I became more than convinced that it was not the
sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life.
It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the
scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and
followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and
in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before
them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the 2nd volume
(of the Prophets biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to
read of the great life.
Writing in Harijan (issue dated 27-07-1937), Gandhi advised his
fellow Congressmen on leading a life of simplicity in this fashion:
I cannot present before you the examples of Sri Ram Chandr and Sri
Krishn as they are not personalities recognized by history. I cannot help
but present to you names of Abu Bakar (ra) and Umar (ra). They were
leaders of a vast empire, yet they lived a life of austerity.
An even lesser famous quote is the observation of Gandhi about the
caliphate of Hazrat Umar (r.a). Gandhi said The best thing to happen to
India would be to be reigned by a dictator as just and upright as Umar,
(ra). Why did a non-violent exponent of Gandhis sta ure regard the
rule of such a man as the best thing?The answer lies in the life of the
Prophet (pbuh) and that of his companions

Aligarh Muslims flay

Bukhari for Sharif invite
A Muslim forum here Friday accused
the Shahi Imam of Delhis Jama
Masjid of insulting Indian Muslims by
inviting Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz
Sharif but not his Indian counterpart
Narendra Modi to the 17th century
mosque to mark his sons appointment
as the Naib Imam.
The Forum for Muslim Studies
and Analysis (FMSA) also asked the
Indian government to end by an act
of parliament the un-Islamic Imamat
that allows the Shahi Imam of Jama
Masjid to designate his successor from
his own family.
Shahi Imam Syed Ahmed Bukhari announced Thursday that he had
had invited Sharif and four BJP leaders but not Modi to a Nov 29 dinner
to mark the appointment of his son Shaban, 19, as the Naib Imam, a
post that will one day help him head the historic mosque.
We do not support the BJP but once the electorate has made its
choice, Modi is the prime minister of all citizens including Muslims, said
Rozaullah Khan, chairing a meeting at the Media Centre.
By inviting Sharif and ignoring Modi, Bukhari has greatly insulted
Indian Muslims, he said, and urged Indian Muslims to boycott Bukhari.
FMSA Secretary Jasim Mohammad said the mentality of the Shahi
Imam was not positive for Muslims and the nation. He said that while
Bukhari was at liberty not to invite Modi, he should not have invited
Sharif.
Another speaker, Farhat Ali Khan, said the Imamat in Jama Masjid
should be run on Islamic principles. This undemocratic Imamat must
end.
Humayun Murad, a professor, said religious heads had a duty to bring
about communal harmony.
Ahmad Bukhari has ... turned the Jama Masjid into a political platform.
We will not allow it to go unchallenged.
The FMSA passed a resolution condemning the Shahi Imams invitation
to Sharif and asked the Indian government to end this un-Islamic
Imamat through an act of parliament.

THE TIMES OF LEAGUE

In 1984, in a working class slum

colony in East Delhi Trilokpuri,
more than 300 Sikh men were
slaughtered during the frenzy
of hate killing that swept Indias
capital city. This colony across
the Yamuna was first settled
with working class refugees from
Pakistan after Partition. In 1976,
its ranks swelled with households
uprooted by Sanjay Gandhis slum
demolition carnage during the
Emergency. Since the 1984 Sikh
massacre, this suburb has swelled
with working class people from
diverse faiths and regions and, like
the rest of Delhi, witnessed three
decades of communal peace.
However, 30 years later,
almost to the day, its crowded
settlements are once again in
the throes of communal violence,
its streets littered with brickbats,
its minorities have begun to flee,
and children peep from shuttered
windows as clusters of policemen
stand guard at street-corners to
restore brittle peace.
The violence, which racked
Trilokpuri, follows a standard
template that recurs whenever
organisations choose to organise
riots for political gains. The first
step is to create a context for the
conflict. And the most reliable
staple of communal riots since
the Partition has been to stir a
dispute around a place of worship.
In Trilokpuri, just across from a
local mosque, a mata ki chowki
or temporary temple is assembled
for the first time, and loud prayers
relayed round the clock through
a loudspeaker directed towards
the mosque. Tempers are further
frayed when word spreads that
contrary to tradition this
makeshift temple would not be

Made in India
Violence-torn Trilokpuri is the latest
victim of manufactured communal riots
Harsh Mander is a social worker and writer, who works with
survivors of mass violence and hunger, as well as homeless
persons and street children. He is Director, Centre for Equity
Studies, and was Special Commissioner to the Supreme Court
of India in the Right to Food case.He recounts the recent
communal violence at Trilokpuri by the inebriated men with
hooch on Diwali, clashed with innocent Muslim families by
which Muslim men and women rendered into unnecessary
arrest and sufferings. Here are the details of the riot, one
more ploy to blame the Muslims.
dismantled after the festival,
but converted into a permanent
structure.
With
communal
tempers
sufficiently inflamed, the actual
flashpoint is created near the
temporary temple with a drunken
brawl on Diwali night between
young men of two communities
inebriated with the hooch freely
sold in the colony. Word quickly
spreads that a Muslim young man
had desecrated the chowki, and
crowds gather as brickbats begin
to fly. Some firing is also reported
and, though around 70 people
were injured, there was no loss of
life.
Meanwhile,
more
rumours
quickly fly, mainly suggesting that
the Muslim residents are arming
themselves for a large attack.
Some shops are burnt. Piles of
bricks appear in by-lanes, and
large-scale stone pelting on Muslim
homes ensues, combined with
slogans and taunts. Some Muslims
also retaliate. The narrow lanes of
the colony are soon littered with
brickbats.

By Harsh Mander
Dispersal of rioting crowds and
immediate enforcement of curfew
But, as in all manufactured riots,
police response was initially muted,
allowing violence to continue for
two to three days until prohibitory
orders and curfew were finally
enforced.
We spoke to many local resid
ents who sense a conspiracy
behind the violence. Ramesh,
a tea stall owner, accused the
RSS of instigating the violence.
It is the first time that I have
witnessed that during Diwali, idols
were placed outside a mosque,
he declared to my colleague
Asad Ashraf. It was intended to
create trouble to polarise voters
before the forthcoming elections.
Shafaque Khan pointedly asked, I
wonder how come brickbats were
made available to the rioters in
such a short period of time? Is that
not a hint of something?
Arrests followed but, again true
to pattern, three times as many
Muslim youth were arrested as

Hindu men. The colony soon

emptied of its Muslim young men,
who fled in fear of further arrests.
The image of impartiality of the
police was further compromised
because members of the ruling
party were seen sitting in the police
station through the days of the
violence, but hapless relatives of
the detained Muslim men, mostly
women desperately worried
about the fate of their brothers,
sons and husbands were turned
away. Those detained were not
presented before a magistrate in
the prescribed 24 hours and only
after peace groups petitioned
were they finally produced before
a magistrate on Sunday night,
three days after the violence had
begun. Human rights activists
present in the court found that
the young men bore unmistakable
marks of torture, and subsequently
petitioned the National Human
Rights Commission.
I return from violence-scarred
Trilokpuri with a deep sense of
sickness in my soul. The police
are now in control of the situation.
No doubt, life will start again for
the working class residents and
elections will be fought and won
in a newly polarised electorate,
but the bitterness of communal
distrust will take a long time to be
erased. I worry about how long
communal hatred will be deployed
as an instrument of political
triumph through manufactured
violence. How are we so easily
able to divide our people at will
and spur them into hate violence,
people who otherwise left to
themselves would live together
with peace and amity?

Left parties to launch campaign against communalism, peoples problems

Six Left parties Saturday decided to
launch a nationwide joint campaign
against communalism and other
problems affecting peoples lives.
After a meeting here, the parties
decided to work together as a pressure
block and launch a campaign against
communalism.
Apart from the Communist Party
of India -Marxist (CPI-M) and the
Communist Party of India (CPI), the
two-hour meeting was attended by
Communist Party of India-MarxistLeninist-Liberation,
the
Socialist
Unity Centre of India-Communist, the
Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP)
and Forward Bloc.
The parties decided to conduct a

week-long protest campaign from Dec

8-14 in different parts of the country.
CPI-M general secretary Prakash
Karat told the media that the parties
have made a joint call against the
policies of Prime Minister Narendra
Modi and aggressive Hinduvta.
This government is backed by
corporates and Hinduvta forces. For
the first time the six left parties have
come together.
We have put out a nine-point
charter of demand which includes
the attack on MGNREGS (Mahatma
Gandhi National Rural Employment
Guarantee Scheme) by the Modi
government, its decision to increase
FDI in the insurance sector, its failure

despite election promises to take firm

steps to unearth black money.., he
said.
He
alleged
the
Rashtriya
Swasyamsewak Sangh was trying
to infiltrate the education system,
various social and cultural institutions.
There is this so called love jihad
campaign by the RSS and the Hindutva
outfits.
On plans to join hands with other
secular parties, Karat said: First our
effort is to strengthen the Left and
unite the Left forces. After that we will
see about other things.
Its a process of widening and
strengthening the Left. There are
other forces also in the Left. We will

November - 2014

try to bring them together, he said.

As part of the protest, the parties
would focus on price rise, exorbitant
price of medicines and drugs, against
hike in FDI in insurance and unearthing
black money.
Besides Karat, those who attended
the meeting included Debabrata
Biswas of the Forward Bloc, Kshiti
Goswami and Manoj Bhattacharya
of the RSP, Swapan Mukherjee and
Kavita Krishnan of CPI-ML-Liberation,
Manik Mukherjee and Ranjit Dhar of
SUCI-C, A.B. Bardhan and D. Raja of
CPI and S. Ramachandran Pillai of

and Muslims are over-represented
among such undertrials, new
official data show.

convicts nearly half are under

the age of 30 and over 70 per
cent have not completed school.
Muslims form 21 per cent of them.
On the other hand, 17 per cent of
those convicted are Muslims.

Despite repeated Supreme Court

orders on the rights of undertrials,
the jails are filling ever faster with
them, shows Prisons Statistics for
2013 released by the National
Crime Records Bureau. The
number of convicts grew by 1.4
per cent from 2012 to 2013, but
the number of undertrials shot up
by 9.3 per cent during the period.

These
numbers
definitely
point to a failure of the delivery
of justice, but it also appears that
the system is unequally unjust,
said Harsh Mander, Director of the
Centre for Equity Studies, which
works on issues of access to justice
in prisons. The disproportionate
presence of members of the
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes and Muslims among
undertrials points not simply to
a technical breakdown but also
to the increased vulnerability of
these groups, and probably bias,
Mr. Mander told The Hindu.

Men make up 96 per cent of

all prison inmates. Nearly 2,000
children of women inmates live
behind bars, 80 per cent of those
women being undertrials.
A sharp increase in the number
of undertrials charged with crimes
against women contributes to the
rise in the number of all undertrials.
The number of those incarcerated
on charges of rape rose by over
30 per cent from 2012 to 2013,
and the number facing charges
of molestation grew by over 50
per cent. The number of men
convicted of rape rose dramatically
too, by 16 per cent the biggest
increase among major sections of
the Indian Penal Code.
Undertrials are younger than

Among the 2.8 lakh undertrials,

over 3,000 have been behind bars
for over five years. Between them,
Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are home
to 1,500 of those undertrials. Most
undertrials 60 per cent of them
have, however, been behind
bars for less than six months.
While most States have a little
over twice as many undertrials as
convicts, Bihar has a staggering
six times as many.
The NCRB numbers also provide
the only insight available into the

political forces. It is possible only with the consent and co-operation
of other Muslim political bodies.

Jharkand Election
The IUML participates in the Jharkand Assembly Election. The names
of candidates and constituencies will be announced soon.
The allegation of usurpation of Wakf property is made against the
Karnataka Wakf Board Minister Kamarul Islam. The opposition parties
demand his resignation. You are asking whether IUML will support the
demand. If the allegation is proved in the court of law the minister will
automatically resign his post. If ministers have to resign for each and
every allegation made against them no minister will remain in his post.

Central Government on the path of R.S.S.

Iuml neither hates nor in hostile towards the BJP Government at the
centre. IUML welcomed and appreciated Modis statement that Indian
Muslims live and die for India, they will never go under the control of
extremists. At the same time we want the Prime Minister to condemn
the acts of BJP leaders when they emit the venom against the Muslim
Community.
The present BJP Government in the centre it seems is treading on
the R.S.S. Sangh Parivar policy and principles. They create a scenario of
a Hindu Government. When the government launches welfare schemes

number of people on death row; at

the end of 2013, 382 persons had
been sentenced to death and were
awaiting either legal relief or the
execution of sentence.
Excessive pre-trial detention
violates
undertrial
prisoners
rights to liberty and fair trial, and
adversely impacts their life and
livelihood, Divya Iyer, Research
Manager at Amnesty International
India, said, adding that the
new numbers were a serious
concern. While a lack of effective
management
of
information

relating to prisoners, the absence

of
functional
and
effective
undertrial review committees, lack
of adequate legal aid, and delays
in court productions of undertrials
contributed to the problem, the
authorities must as a first step
identify and release all those
prisoners who are eligible for
release under law, including those
who have already been in prison
for over half the term they would
have faced if convicted, Ms. Iyer
said.

like Clean India, Village Adoption etc it gives Sanskrit names to such
schemes and under the guise of Hindi language efforts are made to
impose Sanskrit. IUML certainly criticizes such policy.

Indias Uniqueness

The uniqueness of Indias great civilization, culture and tradition lies in

living in unity with diversity. The fragrance emanates from the varieties
of flowers in the garden togther make the fragrance of the entire garden.
If any one claims that only one variety of flower alone should fill in the
garden such person does not know India and he does not understand
the uniqueness of India.
We should smell the fragrance of the flower of unity in diversity
in the garden of India and should learn to live together happily.
Dont tar entire community for acts of a few: Mamata
Kolkata : West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Tuesday said all
people from a community should not be blamed because of the acts of a
few members. A terrorist is a terrorist. He has no caste, Banerjee said at a
programme here.
Recalling the anti-Sikh riots in various parts of the country that followed
the assassination of then prime minister Indira Gandhi Oct 31, 1984, she said
all people from one community should not be tarred because of the acts of
a motley group.

In the aftermath of the accidental blast at Khagragarh in Burdwan
district Oct 2 that left two dead another injured, the role of the Muslim militant
outfit Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) has come under the scanner.

Quaid E Millath Sahib he performed well; he became a councillor of Mehboob
Nagar Municipality. He fought a valiant fight to get house hold places for
more than 100 homeless poor people from the municipality. He participated
in the National Executive Committee meeting held at Chennai on 15-09-2014

generation to shoulder the respectively of the state unit. His demise is a big
loss not only to his family but also to the Mehaboob nagar Muslims and IUML.
I convey my sincere condolences to the bereaved family members and
pray to God to rest his soul in peace.
