New Delhi: India as a secular nation is proving ‘equality’ as well as ‘humanity’ overcomes one and all.
The ongoing stir over NRC and the Citizenship Amendment Act has brought together not only Indian Muslims from across the nation but several communities Hindu-Sikh-Christian-Parsi-Jain fraternity have rendered their support to this fight against the unconstitutional bill that treats Muslim fraternity as illegal immigrants, News18 reports.
Activists from all walks of life irrespective of religion, artistes, intellectuals, Bollywood stars and authors have stood up against this bill which is leaving Indian Muslims stateless with no recourse.
While Ayodhya title suit seemed to have divided Hindu- Muslim harmony in India with right-wing Hindutva manipulating young minds into harming Muslim community, this CAA-NRC has indeed brought these two different communities together who are now fighting the ruling government standing next to each other.
The nation is holding strong against this dictatorship by saffron party that has won by dividing the two communities.
Dressed like ‘Muslims’ as underlined by PM Muslims are ‘armed’ with the Tricolour, the Constitution, many framed portraits of Babasaheb Ambedkar, some of Gandhi, chanting ‘Jana Gana Mana’ and ‘Hindustan Zindabad’ against the CAA-NRC-NPR.
Witnessing this huge change where the country’s largest minority armed with nothing but the national flag, the constitution, chanting ‘We are Indians first’ rejecting the idea that Hindutva followers can reshape the constitution, remained silent during Ayodhya verdict as well abrogation of Art 370 in J&K.
These Muslims who have played an important part in defending the nation against British rule are asserting they belong to India and come what may, they are here to stay.
Yes, our country stands as one at times of tyrants ruling our lands.
The nation along with the world is witnessing the tyranny against Muslims across the globe proving this community is more than what the media projects them as.
Over the past several years Muslim community is strongly referred, represented by the AK-47, RDX, Mujahideen and Lashkars, al Qaeda and ISIS which has never been true in the past nor can be in the future.
Dr Manmohan Singh in 2009 election time had back then stated even if 1 percent of India’s Muslims (about 20 crore now) decided that there was no future for them in India, the country would become ungovernable.
In comparison to the mass Muslim genocide in Syria, Palestine, Myanmar, China the world took vow to punish the whole Muslim community due to few terrorists that have killed many the world is noticing.
The negative image of Muslims has been challenged today. The Indian Muslims are chanting national anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana’ in place of the kalma, the Tricolour, not the green for a flag, pictures of Ambedkar and Gandhi and not Ka’aba, and ‘Hindustan Zindabad’ except their clothes.
Do clothes really define their nationality as underlined by PM? No, the community dressed like Muslims reminds the nation there is no contradiction between how an Indian dresses and her patriotism, or what the Constitution owes her as a citizen. That larger stereotype is being broken by persisting with a smaller one.
Back in 1947, a majority of Indian Muslims walked away with Jinnah into their new nation, Pakistan. yet in the past 72 years since Jinnah, the nation has never trusted a Muslim as their leader. It’s always been a non-Muslim yet the community remained silent.
The rise of new Indian Muslims shows he is not afraid to flaunt his nationalism and is willing to fight to carry the Constitution, the flag, the anthem, Ambedkar, Gandhi and the chant of ‘Hindustan Zindabad’.
