A role model must murge contemporary compulsions and aspirations. The model for young muslims in the 1940's was obviously Jinnah. They were obvious of the traumatic potential of partition, and were charred by d killing hot winds of 1947 and the fifties nehru, rather than Gandhi(who they had rejected), became the new model as he began, gently, to restore their Self-confedence and nurture some degree of security. But the security was partial, and nehru did little to reverse the marginalisation of muslims from the economy.
Desperation discovered a strange role model in 1960's was Haji Mastan. In the disturbed, distraught and fragmented mind of muslim youth of d sixties, no one else seemed to be giving muslims any jobs. Since they had no faith in the white economy, they turned into the black economy. Haji Mastan was so impressed by the support he seemed to get from the community that he even started a political party. IT DID NOT WORK BCZ CRIME DOES NOT WORK.
So What was the alternative? the elite had disapeared on the auction blocks of Lucknow and Hyderabad, the professional middle class of the north had migrated to pakistan in large numbers. Muslims felt deeply betryed by congress politicians with their litany of double standards. The angers sharpened during the politics of babari masjid.
In this vaccum, the hysterical mullah, or his counterpart became the role model of the seventies and eighties. They turned irrelevent as quickly as they ascended.
The overwhelming sentiment is set for a new Sir Sayyid Ahmad, founder of Aligarh Muslim University, who argued that salvation lay in both english and english, the emblems of progress and sucess. this is not a revival of the politics of seperation; indian muslims know they are the chief victim of partition. This is the rivival of modern culture of education. If gender bias is not eliminated, indian muslims can not enter the 20th century, let alone the 21st. the good news is that the girls are being educated in far greater numbers than ever before.
Terrorism is a minuscule section, Osama bin Laden or Daud Phenomenon.this is the wart that could POISION THE FUTURE. It will not be eliminated by arbitrary repression; but it can disapear with the assimilation of the community into economic growth and education opportunity.
15 years after the watershed moment of 1992, indian muslims have reached another crossroads. the overwhelming majority will travel the road towards progess out of nothing more complicated than common sense. But there is a regressive Monority within this minority. It needs as never before the leadership of a modern Sir Sayyid. HISTORY HAS OFFERED A ROLE, BUT THERE IS NO ONE CAPABLE OF BEING A MODEL.
so many ppl connected to its but in forms of politicians, criminals, terrorist or anger remember one thing They are not Muslims they are Buisnessman, and they are working for himself not for community not for country.
