Colors of Terror (Urdu)

ڈاکٹر محمد منظور عالم مشرقی ایشیا کی نویں چوٹی کانفرنس سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے وزیر اعظم نریندر مودی نے پرزور انداز میں یہ بات رکھی کہ ’’دہشت گردی کو مذہب سے نہیں جوڑناچاہیے‘‘ اور اس دہشت گردی کا مقابلہ کرنے کے لیے حقیقی انٹرنیشنل پارنٹرشپ وجودمیں آنی چاہیے نیز جو انسانیت پر یقین رکھتے ہیں انھیں ایک ساتھ مل کر کام کرنا چاہیے کیونکہ دہشت گردی کا مذہب سے کوئی لینا دینا نہیں ہے۔ ان کی اس بات سے کسی کو اختلاف نہیں ہو سکتا؟ یہ ایک اٹل حقیقت ہے لیکن تصویر کا دوسرا پہلو یہ ہے کہ عام طور پر لوگ اپنی آسانی کے لیے دہشت گردی کو ایک دوسرے کے مذہب سے جوڑدیتے ہیں جس سے مذہب کا وہ رول جو انسانی شرافت اور وقار کو قائم رکھنے، غربت وجہالت کو دور کرنے کے لیے ہوتا ہے، کمزور ہوجاتا ہے اور مذاہب کو اس کی اصل روح سے دور کر کے اس کو بے شمار الزامات اور شکوک وشبہات کے دائرے میں ڈال دیا جاتا ہے اور اس کے نتیجہ میں مذاہب کے ماننے والوں کی وضع، قطع، رہائش، لباس اور ہر ایک چیز کو مشکوک کرنے کی کوشش کی جاتی ہے، جو غلط ہے۔ جو بات غلط ہے وہ کبھی صحیح نہیں ہوسکتی چاہے وہ بہت دیر کے بعد لوگوں کو بالعموم اور لیڈروں...

Colours of Terror

Image
by Dr. Mohammad Manzoor Alam Recently, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at an ASEAN summit that terrorism had no religion, Indian Muslims heaved a sigh of relief. This line, that “terror has no religion”, is a relatively new Sangh refrain, being mouthed as a policy mantra by all persons affiliated to it. However, it was not always so. The earlier line was, “Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslim”. This suddenly changed during UPA-II when Sangh-related terrorists like Aseemanand, Col. Purohit, Sadhvi Pragya Singh and several others were caught and jailed for staging major terror attacks like Samjhauta Express and Malegaon mosque (twice) cases. These Hindutva votaries had been attacking Muslim targets with a communal motive. That’s why security agencies called them Hindutva terrorists, without mincing words. Senior BJP leaders like L K Advani protested vociferously against this label, but officials persisted with the nomenclature. To his cre...

Pulling the Strings RSS Way

Hamid Ali Khan Three events in the recent past are enough to suggest that the process of saffronisation of democratic institutions has begun. Some two months ago, slogans of “Jai Shri Ram” were chanted by BJP workers who were present in strength in the Raj Bhawan in Jaipur during the oath-taking ceremony of Kalyan Singh, an ex-chief minister of UP and the “hero” of the demolition of Babri Masjid at Ayodhya, as Rajasthan governor. When asked by some newsmen of the propriety of chanting of “Jai Shri Ram” by over-zealous invitees, Kalyan Singh retorted “what is wrong with it?” The reply of Kalyan Singh, who had assumed the office of governor, a constitutional post, a short while ago, is indicative of the shape of things to come. In a related event, RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat’s speech was telecast on state-owned Door Darshan (DD). Nobody bothered to take care to see that speeches by RSS leaders end up promoting communal discord. Never in the history of a public broadcaster in Ind...

Building political capital on hate propaganda

Vidya Bhushan Rawat It is a reminder bell that rings every year which has not changed us to the core. The horrific crimes against humanity perpetrated by the political goons in the dark night of October 31st till a couple of days of November 1984 after the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was declared officially ‘dead’ and which remain unpunished till date is not just a matter of shame but absolute failure of our democracy. A truly democratic system would have envisaged ways and means to tackle such a situation in future but instead people became ‘football’ in the political games of those who have least concern about loss of human lives and sentiments. Punjab was bleeding when India got partitioned in 1947 and Sikh community felt betrayed as many of their issues remained unsettled politically. Sikh nationalism has to be merged into pan Indian Nationalism dictated and dominated by the brahmanical Hindus. In the din of Pan Indian nationalism, we refused to understand the Punjab’s hurt ...

A Secular Response

Dr Mohammad Manzoor Alam The get together of Nitish Kumar, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Deve Gowda and Sharad Yadav over lunch at Mulayam Singh Yadav’s residence in New Delhi has set off talks about revival of parts of the old Janata Party in coming days. The leaders at the lunch belong to JD (U), RJD and SP. These parties have a presence in a wide arc of India, but have only 15 MPs in Lok Sabha and 25 in Rajya Sabha. They rule in Bihar and UP, which account for 120 MPs together. That’s a considerable power base if they act cohesively. They can be an influential bloc in Parliament and act as a nuclus for a larger congregation around which secular parties can coalesce on a common minimum programme. To enjoy real strength they have to take on board the Left. To contend for power at the Centre they will have to give up their anti-Congressism and their old antipathies. If everything goes well, they are hoped to merge together to form a new Janata Party early next year. But here is a big “if”, ...

Muharram

ये महीना मुहर्रम का है और यह दुनिया को बताने का अवसर है कि कोई ज़ालिम, बादशाह भले ही हो सकता है, अपने आप को धार्मिक भले ही कहलवा सकता है, लेकिन धार्मिक हो नहीं सकता, क्योंकि हर धर्म की सबसे पहली शर्त है इंसानियत का होना | बिना इंसानियत के सब कुछ बेकार है ! ज़ुल्म करने वालों पर धिक्कार है !!! इस मुहर्रम के जुलुस में शिया, सुन्नी ,हिन्दू, सिख, इसाई, दुनिया के कोने कोने में अपने अपने रूप से, भाग लेते हैं और अपनी श्रधांजलि इमाम हुसैन (अ.स) को पेश करते हैं | किशन लाला उर्फ़ “किशन" सीतापुरी मुहर्रम में एक नौहा पढ़ा करते थे जिसके शब्द कुछ इस तरह हैं:- भारत में अगर आ जाता ह्रदय में उतारा जाता यूँ चाँद बनी हाशिम का धोखे से ना मारा जाता | चौखट से ना उठते माथे, हर ओर से पूजा होती इस देश की भाषाओँ में भगवान् पुकारा जाता |

Is the time not come that the hearts

أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَن تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَلَا يَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلُ فَطَالَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَمَدُ فَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَاسِقُو نَ Is the time not come that the hearts of the believers should be humbled to Allah's remembrance and to the Truth that He has revealed, *28 and that they should not be like those who were vouchsafed the Book and then a long time elapsed so that their hearts were hardened? A great many of them are now evil-doers. Quran(57:16)
