The Prime Ministers of India

Jawaharlal Nehru being sworn in as India's first prime minister on August 15, 1947. On August 15, 1947 as India attained Independence, Jawaharlal Nehru was sworn in as the first prime minister of the free nation. His oath of office was administered by Lord Louis Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India. Nehru, considered the architect of modern India, served as prime minister till his death 50 years ago on May 27, 1964, spearheading the Congress party's victory in the first three Lok Sabha elections of 1952, 1957 and 1962. His 16 years and 286 days-long term in office makes him the longest-serving prime minister till date.

“Leaders” should learn from the people

Image
BY : Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam Quite often an occasion arises in public life when even good leaders lose contact with public mood and do things that drive them further away from the people. At the time of partition of India,Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was so exasperated that he said a point had reached in his political career where he had to decide whether he wanted to lead the people or be led by them. The third course, that of ignoring the people, would further isolate him. Today, we see a similar gap between the ideas and strategies of leaders of some Muslim organisations and common Muslims of India. While common Muslims are confirmed that the “BJP-Modi wave” is the creation of corporate media and big business, leaders of several Muslim organisations have been misled by the media disinformation campaign.  The more lamentable fact is that these so-called leaders have started believing the propaganda by RSS workers assigned to work among Muslims. They have started believing t...

AIMCK https://t.co/mBetDNonuH It will not be easy for the Modi sarkar to wash off the Dadri stain: Here's why by R Jagannathan The unconscionable lynching to death of Mohammed Akhlaq in Dadri over rumours of alleged beef consumption is likely to haunt the BJP and the Modi government for a long time. It is not going to become a non-issue just because the home ministry  has issued a statement  expressing "concern" over "incidents with communal overtones" across the country, "including the recent unfortunate incident at Dadri, UP."

The Fierce Conflict Within

Image
 By  Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam As we have explained earlier, this monthly column is in the nature of an intimate family discussion within the Muslim community, especially with youth. The raging conflict within the Muslim community worldwide as well as in India is a matter of serious concern for the community’s elders. Most of this unfortunate conflict is baseless and has no substance, even though it is highly dangerous. Within India itself the conflict between the masaalik has deepened in recent months. Bitter mutual recriminations have grown even though the All India Milli Council has consistently tried to bridge the gap by bringing all masaalik on a single platform. The gulf between Islam’s two main sects has grown with considerable outside support from within and outside the country. Again, as usual, the Milli Council, of which I happen to be the General Secretary, has provided a joint platform for leaders not only from both the sects, but also from sub-sec...
