(This is translation of article published in Muslim Murasu November,2010)
People in the love of God belong to the entire humanity. They are people who desired goodness in their life times. They don’t know the limits of Muhalla. Having born thousands of miles away in a distant nation, they have found their way into the hearts of people speaking different language. Without uprooting affinity for language, caste, race, religion, nation and Muhalla, many in Tamilnadu drum up their claims as saints’s direct descendants, Hakdaar, caretakers and shareholders. Dargah where Auliyah rests, Wakf property, land ownership, commercial rentals are many crore rupees worth. Soaring poor population and on the other side chandelier decorations and festive celebrations; odd scenes juxtaposed in sacred lands is discomforting. Dargahs in Tamilnadu, Aulia, missionary works, proof for descendant, value of properties, these details are not available in Internet. It is necessary to pray God to bless today’s community with the guided path that was bestowed on those before us. This is the warning message one gets from the last verses of Fathiha Surah in Quran. Descendants of spiritual people have abandoned missionary work and have embarked on journeys to Hongkong, Malaysia, Singapore, America and Arab countries in search of money and excessive luxuries.
Auliyas buried in Dargahs exercised influence over the rulers in their life times; they controlled them; rulers went on their knees; they abandoned evil, unjustified and demonic practices and they earned redemption. They paid attention and interest in social welfare activities and earned huge respect from people. But today, descendants of Auliyas and Dargahs don’t possess any high qualities. The information of Wakf property is also kept in the dark. Islam hails all those who follow the principle as descendants. The terms to inherit Dargah needs to be probed. Dargahs are centres for harmony and spirituality. Annual revenues from Dargah, social schemes where that money is spent, addresses of beneficiaries, capacity and qualities of management should be available in book form. What is available on internet are anecdotes, dates for Sandhana Koodu, flag hoisting, memorial day and anonymous hearsay stories of Karaamath. In the past centuries, Dargah, Aulia missionary work has played a huge role in the Hindu Muslim unity. On the same line, today’s owners of Dargahs and descendants should offer assistance for Islamic missionary works, propagating Kalima, religious conversion schemes and dominance of Thowheed. There is no reason to hide that Dargah has got more than enough funds and copious money for this.

Muslim role in rural economy of India
(This is translation of article posted in Muslim Murasu October,2010)
Buses are bursting at the seams every minute in farming districts like Thanjavur, Kumbakonam and Tiruvarur. High quality posh products hawked in Chennai are also easily available in district capitals. Offspring of farmers excel in education, become city dwellers and earn handsome salaries. Private TV channels thundering round the clock in houses of farmers is also a common scene.
Rural economy is burgeoning in strength on par with cities. For the past 4 years per-capita income, buying capacity has continued to increase. National rural employment guarantee scheme, loan waiving for farmers, 40 percent government buying of farm produce are reasons for price rise. Share of farming members in Airtel is 60 percent. Maruti car has increased from 3.5 percent to 9 percent. 17 lakh mobile phones are sold in villages every month. Now sales have increased to 28 lakhs. Farmers share in insurance is 269 lakhs; that from urban is only 233 lakhs. Nokia India marketing director Vineet Taneja discloses that farmers go for 6000 rupess mobile phones. Sales of 3000 rupees mobile phones are dull. Storehouses and processing facilities for 4 crore tonnes of food products are required. 2500 crore rupees sales of snacks; processed food sells for 900 crore rupees. Even mid sized firms rejoice in investing 400 crore each in rural agricultural products. One Swiss firm is setting up a facility for oranges with an investment of 170 crore rupees. Import opportunities for processed food to the tune of 7000 crore rupees is available. 15000 tonne of potato chips sells in a year. 20 chips are packed for 5 rupees; giant profits are anyone’s guess.
Hailing from the arid lands of Ramnathapuram district, Muslim firms have bolstered agriculture, raised 100 storeyed buildings and developed express transports in desert countries. Internationally acclaimed firms can show interest in agriculture. Agriculture and food processesing have drawn huge attention. It is narrow mindedness to destitute parents and relatives in villages and board flights to go for daily wages. What is needed is due interest in marine produces and agricultural products in native land. Slave mentality should be dropped.
Tamilnadu palm trees department chairman Kumari Anandhan argues that 1 crore palm trees will yield a revenue of 22500 crore rupees. The benefits from naturally grown herbs and shrubs, trees and medicinal plants in districts and hinterlands should be realised. Giant multinational firms are investing in rural agriculture.
Skyscrapers, car sales, information technology, super fast trains and express buses won’t lend food. Hereditary culture, vintage values and pleasant life are vandalized by urbanization. The exodus of villagers should be immediately arrested. Healthy air and clean water are available in villages.
