Hindu and Muslim youth need to check the political leadership and question their misdeeds

It is also true that a democracy works only through a political system. All politicians can not be abused to be bad but these days majority of the bad leaders are politicians. A new generation political leadership has to be hence reared since we have to line with the political democratic set up.

Kashmiri Hindu is staying away from their homes for last 20 years. But neither Indian National Congress , nor the CPM, nor the RJD, Nor the NCP, nor the SP, and even the BJP have so far particularly put a markable question mark on the behaviour or the failure of the Kashmiri Muslims in standing against the disruptive anti India forces even socially. All appear to fear that in case they will raise the question on this enmass bad treatment given to Kashmiri Hindu then this may not annoy the muslims in India. Such a cheap and weak mentality has taken undue roots in India. Where as the truth is that the big majority of Bhartiyae muslims had been always and are distance apart from such like thinking .If atall any time some minor questions have been raised , the same have the result of the doubts created by the politicians. Had the truth not been like this then the organization like Muslim Council Trust would not have declared on 1st December 2008 that they will not allow the burial of the terrorists killed in Mumbai attacks in the muslim grave yards in Mumbai and would also appeal that they ( terrorists ) should also not be accommodated in any graveyard in pious land of Bharat. This also puts those under a question mark on who name the killers of innocent people as martyres and shower flowers on their graves. Yes , respecting the sentiments of the Muslim Council Trust, we should appeal the Indian muslims that let us not be inhuman to the dead bodies of even the killers of innocent people since they are no more there to see the bads of their acts..

Mumbai has again been drenched in the blood of the innocent on 11/26. But this time it could be said that the attack was not on only the Indians, it was on the international community that included six American citizens also. But this time also we could see many still looking for first news to draw some commercial benefits. At times people like me have wished for the times when at last the spilling blood of the innocent would make the eyes of the Indians as a community tear in blood.. Over the years people had become so un concerned for the miseries of fellow citizens that no one appeared to care about whose blood had spilled and who had died. All militancy related terrors and killings did not appear concern those surviving beyond the news headline.

The politicians were already lost in their selfish lust , now even some have started doing journalism to as a simple commercial venture. In reference to Kashmir affairs we had been often saying that even people who are outside the political arena , that include some so called philanthropists , are this day see more social benefit in taking notice of only those who have been raising questions on the trueness of the intentions of Indian governments as regards the welfare of Kashmiries or the logistic settlement of Kashmir affairs. There are many who think that questioning the intentions of those who keep the pride of Indian lands at the highest esteem , as well as the intentions of India. would make them a well sought after journalist or scholar or coloumnist or human rights activist in the international market..

It is a hard fact that this day in India more questions are raised on those who first consider themselves inseparable part of Bharat bhoomi and there after placetheir self religion or sect. Even the politicians care more for those who do not consider their self and Bharat bhoomi as one integral. More it pains when I see even some of my journalist colleagues too caring more for such politicians. Some hold the conviction that by doing so they could earn more of fame in journalist community out side India.It would have been tolerating had the misfortune ended here it self. This day any slogan or act that weakens the Indian nationality easily takes the lime light.

On the basis of the community strengths no doubt India is an Hindu majority country. Muslims though a large minority , are a minority community in India in that sense. Had the Majority community Hindu not been keeping good will for all other communities then after the division of India ,under two nation concept mooted by Muslim League and creation of Islamic State of Pakistan , Indians would not have given to their self a Constitution of the type India has today and the institutions like Minority Commission would not have taken birth on Indian soil. But the politicians today have put the intentions of even a common Hindu under question mark. How damaging is it that the Chairman of Minority Commission is not made from Hindu subjects of India. It is a blot on the intentions of Hindu of India and unfortunately this aspect has not attracted the attention of any leader in India. It appears that most leaders want to socially separate a Hindu from a muslim. Since Muslims are the largest minority of India the political masters are seen busy in drafting plans to befool the common innocent muslims. No one really means good of the Muslim what ever damage it may otherwise cause to India. All efforts are made to scare a common muslim in the name of Majority Hindu community to the extent that very less efforts are made to let the muslims recognize their self with the lands and the cultural history of India..


This day all issues have been left to the politicians to the extent that many social leaders as well as the saints too appear to be standing at levels more with the politicians. With this any one whose interest are being more jeopardized is ordinary Hindu or Muslim of India. Rather I would say that the Indian Muslim is being put to more loss since he is not being allowed to remain psychologically in peace. So it has to day become very necessary for the Hindu and Muslim youth to check the political leadership and put question mark on their misdeeds. Rather governments should be asked to appoint the heads of the public welfare institutions for social and economic development of the Hindu out of the Muslims and that of the Muslim welfare public institutions out of the Hindu community. It has been often observed that the Chairman of a Minority Commission rarely infers and makes such suggestions that make the minorities feel that the majority community too keeps some good will for the minorities..

There could be no other indicator of the cunning intentions of the politicians that this day all of them talk of the welfare and brotherhood of only the HINDU, MUSLIM, SIKH and Christian.. Do we have only these four sects / panth / religions in India or the world to day? Are all other sects / communities / religions enemies of HINDU / MUSLIM/ SIKH/ Christians ? More agonizing and surprising is that even , professors, scholars and many thinkers too only talk of the brotherhood amongst these four communities only. The youth of the day will have to also think about this. Are the jahoodi, parsi, jainee or other sects/ communities not the brothers of "big four" ? We will have to take away the conservative slogan of the Hindu Muslim Sikh Eisayee aapas mein hain bahyee bhayee from the politicians of the day otherwise they may not succeed in dismantling the monolithic structure of Bharat.

India is passing through bad times .The crookedness has grown so wild that some leaders are even planning to divide the men in the armed forces in the name of Hindu Muslim Christian and Sikh . Those who trade in vote bank politics remain busy in estimating the numbers of the retired army and police men. They keep on talking of some due as well as undue benefit proposals in favour of security forces and push them also into the race competing for material benefits from the government. In earlier days an army man used to get proportionately less benefits and wages but he was happy but now even after some improvements in the benefits the common army man is seen not that happy. Taxes and the high cost of living equally affect the families of the army men. But it can also not be overlooked that all salaries and the benefits that are given to a government employee are out of the taxes collected from the common Indian that also includes the families of those in services .. Unfortunately every other day we get a news about corrupt practices in the procurement and supply of food grains , meat . ammunition etc for the forces. This can surely affect the sincere thinking of a soldier and his commitment towards the dignity of India. It is also a point of worry that we have been lead to a place where even the men from the army have started placing their material demands before the government like ordinary unions in civil departments / factories.. The dis satisfaction expressed by even the senior army men on the structure of pay scales as contained in the proposals accepted in view of 6th pay Commission is the recent example to support the concern expressed by me here. And the political leadership holding the reins looking more at their political interest did not make any efforts to motivate the army men to remain away from union like activities. But could be a more irresponsible approach than proposing separate allowance for those army men who are put on active defence duty in field. One would ask then what for the army has been kept ? There would be no objection in case regular wages for all army men are kept higher instead of giving active duty allowance. Whatever a political government spends is earned out of even a match stick that is used in the kitchen by the family of even a army man as well as a street begger. This has to be taken seriously. May be some other day a police man will also demand special pay when he is posted for active field duty and then we will not be able to deny the special pay to him. .

Those sitting in governments these days try to cover all the damages to the society due to their failures and short comings by mis spending the money out of state exchequer in the shape of compensations and subsidies even to financial institutions. Why not such loss / money be got made good at the cost of those who sit in the seat of governance.? Some check will have to be put now..
