A large number of people from Rajasthan UP, Bihar and especially Gujarat are heading towards Hyderabad to run their businesses her. The ratio is increasing on an alarming rate; new festivals and processions are coming up in the city because of these non local people only.
Our correspondent saw a calendar hanging on the wall of various shops at Begum Bazaar, mostly owned by Gujaratis. Surprisingly the calendar has a photo of a famous swami named ‘Asaram Babu’; more surprisingly the picture shows some Muslim men sitting in front of the swami with great respect. When enquired about the swami the shop owner said that ‘he is bhagwan. No one returns empty handed from him and your Muslims also come to him.’
In another such painful example a barber near Masjid Miyan Mashak has shut down his business and has become faith healer. Actually his father was a bonal and used to become ‘potraj’ on every bonal festival. This barber and his son do faith healing and unfortunately Muslims too arrive at his shop located at a footpath. He gives his clients, a thread and some lemons, besides this he cuts a lock of his client’s hair and tells that he would ward off all the problems by doing a particular puja on that, for which he collects 1100 rupees.
Another person named Chandu heals young children by giving bath to them. He charges 30 to 50 rupees for giving each ‘healing bath’ to the children.
Another swami has set up his faith healing business near Himayat Sagar. People go to him to promote their businesses.
Readers! the sad part of the story that there is a considerable number of Muslims who go to such fake babas for cure. When the notorious witch craft Nagin Bhabi was arrested last week and a large number of locals staged dharna for giving strict punishment to her. A chief officer asked them ‘why don’t you stop people going to her?’
He was right! We should inform Muslims, what is right and what is wrong. Every person in the world faces adversities, they are tests from Almighty Allah and He is the Only One who listens to prayers.
