Muslim Murasu, June 2013
Twelve five-year plans have been executed. Inclusivity has not yet been materialized. It is the central government’s official finding that the largest minority in this country, Muslims, are marginalized.
India is marching ahead with pace and force. Growth has not benefited all people of all religions and groups. Muslims are very backward in human development index. Sachar report, 2006 and Ranganath Mishra report, 2007, set in motion many schemes in eleventh five-year plan.
Main reason for the backwardness is the distance between Muslim community and government schemes. Growth oriented leadership did not emerge. Schemes were not monitored. Twenty two crore Indians are kept out of decision-making circle. They were not given the opportunity to sit in power corridors. This is another reason.
MP, MLA, minister, chairman who got authority betrayed the community. This perpetuated backwardness.
Annual seminar of national minority commission has brought forward much information. Law is common for everyone. Article 25 needs special attention. It is available in letter. Reality is different. Protection is needed on four fronts:
1. Identity
2. Life and property
3. Share in growth
4. Share in power
Central and state governments apply their minds to the problem seriously. Revisions and reassessments happen. Monetary allocations and legal protection are granted. But still, growth does not reach the Muslims.
‘Minority‘ definition changes from one state to another. It varies depending on situations and whims. Interpretations are done to appease the political alliance.
Indian Constitution grants equal opportunity regardless of religion, caste, region, language divide. Muslims should be pioneers in realizing this. Majority-minority farcical divide has no solution to livelihood issues, real estate loots, misuse of power and unfettered increase in prices.
Muslims should come out of the sick mentality. The word ‘minority’ incapacitates nervous system. It brings additional enemies. The Quran emphasizes ‘khaira ummat’. Let us define the term with new will power.

New Action Item For Muslims
Muslim Murasu, May 2013
People still consider submitting pleas to government as a democratic responsibility. Solutions are not so simple in an atmosphere of privatization.
First and foremost, funds reported for expense and income in the financial budget should be considered. Deficits and lapses, if any, should be identified. There should be efforts to scrutinize the financial report submitted by the government. Ten people per district shall show interest in this job. Mere allocation of funds will not solve the problems. It is a puzzle how funds can reach the beneficiary after bureaucrats, staff and middlemen politicians.
National Commission for Religious and Linguistic Minorities (NCRLM) allowed for 4.5 percent sub-quota on 01.01.2012. Vacancies in central government will be filled on this basis. There was no activity from Muslim community to monitor the list.
Ministry for Minority proudly claims that one crore educational scholarships have been given to minorities in four years. Of these, fifty lakh beneficiaries are women. 29 lakh scholarships have been given for completion of school education in last year alone. Girls form half of it. 128 crore rupees has reached 33,337 beneficiaries. 30000 from good students have been given money. The activities of the ministry was discussed in Upper House for two days. Additional two days detailed discussion was also allowed. Acceptance from Finance Commission was also tabled in Rajya Sabha. This was published in internet too.
State and Central governments have been transparent in their approach for the scheme. Internet has been helpful in casting light on the use of the fund.
Has the earmarked fund reached the intended beneficiary? Muslim organizations, political parties and movement should avoid raising slogans and instead monitor the developments. Otherwise governments will change, but funds won’t reach right candidates.

Lack Of Data
Muslim Murasu, March 2013
Statistics about personal life and social life in Tamilnadu Muslim community is mostly incorrect. Government is languishing with lack of adequate employees. It is a waste job to employ a person for a salary of sixty thousand rupees per month.
Employees show interest to work in important income earning departments. Administration and employees don’t show much interest in planning commission or departments where there is no daily bribe. Statistics collected by government employees can be incomplete and laced with lies. No one puts much effort for this.
Privatization was declared in India in 1992. Income and expenses of the society was given in the hands of the citizens. Muslim community did not accept the nuance in this method. The path taken by Honorable Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhiji and Rajiv Gandhiji was completely changed. Nationalization is no more the policy. Opportunity will be given to private, individual company, personalities and talents.
Private news agencies, TV channels, higher educational institutions and commercial enterprises were widely opened. Government is merely an onlooker. Four thousand crore rupees is the white money expenditure for election. Ten thousand crore rupees is the black money expense. People willing to gamble can enter the fray and prove their talent.
Private owners will come together, discuss and deliberate about people’s welfare. The nationalization policy followed from 1947 to 1992 had ended in abject failure. Privatization became India’s policy of administration for lack of any other option. Politicians working as commission agents and middlemen cannot show interest in the welfare of the people.
Income from Arab land made Muslim villages and hamlets prosper for thirty years. Foreign remuneration spurred the growth of religious, educational, literary and media activities. Availability of assets and necessities of the community should be documented. Number of mosques, value of property, reserves in gold, investments in commercial enterprises, number of vehicles, investments in educational sector, number of tenants and house owners, employed and unemployed should be made available at Mohalla level. Independence at Mohalla level, district level and community level alone can eradicate poverty.

Is Double Education Needed
Muslim Murasu, February 2013
Muslims do not seem to let go of two proud things. They flaunt about them in speeches and books. 1. Opposing western education 2. Pioneering scientific works.
Even in the initial days of freedom struggle, Indian Muslims staunchly opposed Western Christian dress, language, governance, music, culture and education. They were rewarded with imprisonment and loss of life and property. All scientific advancements are found mentioned in Quran. Good followers have fared as exemplary medical practitioners, administrators, judges and military commanders.
London Christians ruled the earth for three hundred years as an interlude in the vast human history. They conquered India too. British had a good life looting India's rich wealth and levying huge taxes. Indian upper class compromised with British and in turn took advantage in every field. They reared education and employment sector catering to their own needs. Luxurious life became their birth right. Their domination still continues.
Muslim community was divided between materialistic education and Akhirat education. Those coming out of religious education took refuge in religious institutions like mosques and seminaries. Eight hundred institutions in Tamilnadu impart secular education to Muslims. This includes thirty six arts colleges and eleven engineering colleges.
Some graduates coming out of common education also serve in religious preaching. In this background, religious heads also vie for degrees like M.A and Ph.D. Religious education alone won’t feed us. University degree is needed for basic necessities. They attach university degrees to their religious titles. This will spoil and ruin both the fields.
Primary objective in religious preaching is to guide humanity. It is the responsibility of a religionist to fight against drinking, murder, sexual violence, prostitution, dowry, greed and selfishness. Preaching can be made to shine through simple, stoic life, sacrifice, dedication and courage. The nation is kept slave to western Christian practices and the domination of Indian upper class higher caste people. People with the strength of soul and faith can give guidance. The movement and introduction of double experts will not benefit Muslim community.

Concerted Effort From Writers
Muslim Murasu, February 2013
Writers who can fill ten pages and post them to magazines have increased in Tamilnadu. Prophet had the quality to speak clearly and concisely. God had bestowed this special quality on him.
Reader should understand and most importantly react. Information disseminated from sixty five private news telecasts are reaching every household. Muslim readers are also audience to fifty two weekly speeches. They are privileged participants of Juma prayer. Kitaab Taaleem is given in mosques every morning.
In this situation, telling a new message, finding a new perspective or interpretation is a niche quality. Writing one page is very difficult, anything more is impossible. Only those with less affection towards business, family and money can become exemplary writers.
Interested writers can come together, discuss and develop a new magazine. A functioning magazine should not be preyed upon. Pages should not be filled casually. This is a disastrous thing. Baitul-Maal money is getting ruined. Betrayal of community’s trust will not be forgiven.
People with twenty lakh rupees worth property, house, land or goods shall allot one percent, twenty thousand rupees, for journalistic mission. Those with a monthly income of one lakh rupees can donate one percent, thousand rupees, for journalism.
Minimum annual expenditure for running a magazine is six lakh rupees. A single person should not be left to bear everything. Burden should be shared among writers and patrons. Islamic journalism cannot give revenue. There will be no gain or profit. People with the strength of penance can run magazine. Money and funds will have to rained for magazine, articles and creations. There is no other option. There are black money sharks in Muslim community. They can silently gift a considerable amount. Those bequeathed with ancestral property can donate ten percent for magazine. Only concerted effort can lift journalism. Journalism takes care of protecting unique characteristics and Shariat of Muslims, producing new writers and guarding the esteem of the community. Purity of intention and donation will protect journalism. New responsibility is awaiting writers.

Missing Guidance On Talaaq
Muslim Murasu, February 2013
Analyses on divorce and polygamy keep getting published on English and Tamil media. As usual, religious leadership do not care, analyze or react.
Healthy development of opinion is not welcome in Muslim community. One can select either rejection or complete surrender; recklessness or fake sanctity. Talaaq is casually declared. Muslim magazines publish articles on Talaaq and sexual indiscipline. Muslim religious leadership is hesitating to publish accurate, updated details. Alarm bells and sounds of haplessness are heard.
First condition in Islamic marriage is good character. Mohallas are breaking. Urbanization is sixty percent. Muslim men and women, without options, are moving out of their native in search of their needs. There are no means to check and ascertain character, to get to know or recommend personally. Fifty thousand rupees is the monthly expenditure. Women education and working has become a necessity. Share autos and crowded buses clearly show the tragedy. Glamor dress costs three thousand rupees. Pretentious covering of face is puzzling.
Muslim community is dividing into two. Religious leadership thrusting religion stands on one side. Patrons and people serving are on the other side. Marriage presided by Jamaat and Talaaq in front of Jamaat; Minimum number and competency of ‘Jamaat’ are not clear. Self-styled Jamaat, self-styled religionist, self-styled administration and practices are spreading.
Muslim population in Tamilnadu is six percent. Each Muslim is surrounded by seventeen Hindus. Practices in Hindu community are guiding Muslim community. One man-one wife, small, nuclear family, women earning are examples. Honest details on Talaaq, remarriage, widow protection should be announced in Friday speeches. Otherwise there won’t be a solution. Police is a rotting piece of flesh. One can’t get justice without spending money. Four crore cases are pending in courts. Waiting period can be twenty years.
Future of Muslim woman is caught in a difficult situation. Shariat provides a good protecting mechanism. Compulsions of life should be taken into account. Religious leadership need not bury its face in earth. Community is left without any help.

Milad For Social Development
Muslim Murasu, February 2013
The high-handedness of Wahabi, Tawheed, Islamic puritans was not so visible this year. The fervor in Milad celebrations resembled that which existed 30 years earlier. Religionists thrust apt messages through evening and night speeches spread over twelve days.
The intention of these celebrations is to strengthen the religion and establish its rituals. The speeches shall support Muslims in matters related to their food, house, employment and economic growth. Quran’s splendor and Prophet’s holiness is being lavishly praised. Contemporary comparison is necessary.
Privatization was introduced in India in 1980s. Every caste and religious group are availing the opportunity and rising to a better standard of life. Religious preacher should provide guarantee to Muslims for their honor,esteem, independence and self-respect. Speaker should not hide behind Prophet’s holiness. The tragedies in the Mohalla, his contribution and self example should come out in the speech. This is the real religious mission and propaganda. Speaker should not stand above the sky and serve stories. Imaginary explanations help none.
Muslims in Tamilnadu are divided in two categories. 1. Muslim oriented economy. 2. Life dependent on Hindu community.
One group of Muslims work for mosque or seminary, Muslim missionary organizations, Muslim commercial enterprise or Muslim educational institutions. Their owners are Muslims. Another group get paid from government offices, secular educational institutes, banks, enterprises and such establishments. Their lives are at the mercy of Hindu owners.
Twenty percent Muslims live with Muslim Rizk (sustenance). Eighty percent Muslims are dependent on Hindu Rizk. Preaching should address both the groups. An obtuse message, a make-believe, imaginary life is heard from mosques. The life that extends outside mosque, trials faced by a Muslim individual, his challenges, struggles and hardships can give lessons on reality.
Practical speeches will certainly be beneficial.

Rejuvenating Ramzan
Muslim Murasu, August 2012
Ramzan has bestowed us the piety to beg God. It is time now to plan for harvest. One month of fasting and night worships have the ability to impart spiritual strength. Supplications in these auspicious days have lofty status. Angels reinforce them with Ameen. We are certain to receive blessings that we did not ask, demand or beg from others. Our objectives henceforth are food, clothing, residence, business and employment superiority. Our only targets going forward are independence and self-adequacy. Fifty lakh Muslims in Tamilnadu are homeless. Mohallas should publish list of people without address or struggling for residence. Muslim community should keep real estate frauds, iniquitous profits and brokerage plundering at bay and raise new residential corridors. Cement, bricks and sand should be procured directly without interference from middlemen. Let us take ownership for owned residence and dignity for every Muslim. Construction labor cost for a day is 650 rupees. New youngsters in the Mohalla can be leveraged for construction activities. Cooperative system is beneficial in food and groceries. Container exchanges with other states and countries can become a reality. Nutrition demand for fifty lakh Muslims should be precisely estimated and distribution shall be done through new cooperative societies and women self help groups. Corrupt governments will hereafter give only fake statistics. Food security should be topmost priority for the Ummath. Those who made deserts prosperous should pay attention towards farming in Tamilnadu. Teachers and institutions needed for education infrastructure should be estimated. One need not plead or beg government for quality, higher education or employment. Only Muslim community can guarantee materialistic education and education needed for next life. Let us prove it. Let us create new airline enterprise and runways exclusively for pilgrimage. Planning can make anything possible. Spiritual strength imparted by Ramzan will give new outlook about Tawheed. Tamil Muslim community has individualistic thinking, independence and self-fulfillment. Let us prove.

Don't Allow Caste Intrusion
Muslim Murasu, July 2012
Governments are persistently involved in penetrating caste. Honorable M.G.R suggested to base demarcations on economic status. The idea was not implemented due to reaction from politicians.
Muslim preachers and intellectuals have no need to point fingers at other religions and their elements. Let us keep our house clean. Caste differences among Muslims following Islam have been kept under control. Differences, higher-lower dynamics, racial divisions have not been completely eliminated among Muslims. Native affinity and language are important reasons. Weekly Juma sermons have been bringing unity in Muslim society. Selfless service by Islamic missionary groups is continuously uniting servants of God. Caste is not allowed to enter. Caste is another form of Shirk, blasphemy. Narrow mindedness will not succeed.
Muslims in Tamilnadu are having to carry caste identities due to government stipulation. Let us limit caste to certificates. Caste divisions should not enter Mohalla. Government has not provided any guarantee for employment. All concessions based on caste are looting rights of another soul. Is caste important or Islamic ideology important? It is time Muslims in Tamilnadu decide. Hard work, self dependency, frugality, well-wishes from others and God’s grace only can give us life and help us grow. Rulers are forcefully staging drama to distract people. Caste based census and community certificate in schools are part of this farcical drama. Muslims should limit using caste lingo to certificate registration. Declining caste division is core principle in Islam. There should not be any weakness in this. When Muslims in Tamilnadu gain political strength, government will be appropriately guided. Attributes of Shirk will completely vanish. Recent Wahhabi ideas have decimated political strength of Tamil Muslims. Cruel consequences are reflected as community certificates in Muslim hands and caste identity on foreheads. Tawheed frontrunners caused divisions. Political ground was lost. Let us defeat the politics of dominant forces that permeate caste mentality.

People Are Leaving Religion
Speech by Maulana Khaleel Ahmad, Shaikul Jamia Nizamia, at 'Fitna-e-irtadad aur roktham' event organized at Mugalpura playground, Hyderabad
Irtadad means to leave Islam. Those who do this are committing a serious mistake. The ownership will fall on the neighboring people as well. This is a grave sin and punishment will be severe. All efforts should be made to bring them back to the fold of Islam.
How did this problem crop up in the first place. Our houses have become devoid of Islamic education. We consider it enough to teach Ozhu (ablution), prayer and Quran recitation. Essence is not taught. Our children do not know commands of Islam. They won’t be able to face the upcoming storm.
We want our children to become engineers and doctors. Islam has no objection to seek higher and better positions. First make your children as Muslims. Then you can make arrangements for their degrees and postings. We cannot wallow in ignorance and protect Islam. This is electronic age where knowledge has sweeping influence.
Our children come under various influences when they go out. They see many scenes and are impacted in many different ways. Only two or three TV channels are helpful to us. All other channels are enemies to our religion. There will be adverse impact from repeatedly watching them. We should first pay attention towards this. Book releases and meetings are not the solution. Darkness is in the house. Disease has penetrated deep. Applying ailment on the skin is not going to cure. Shaitan has entered our houses.
Lack of modesty has become one important reason for Irtadad. Our culture was considered medieval. But they are panicking when they see their children straying. People trapped in other cultures are in distress. ‘bepardagi’ (indecency) leads us to sins. But now as a development of this age, it is taking us to Kufr also.
People have become very greedy. Lakhpathi wants to become Crorepathi. They turn their backs to Islam when the go up the ladder and incline towards Kufr.
Missionaries do not go to rich people. They target poor. They take advantage of poverty, implement some welfare schemes and convert them.
To stop this fitna, parents should first prepare themselves. Houses should be set right. The children for whom you toiled day and night are becoming prey for others. Seminars and public events are not endpoints. This is only to instill right spirit. People against Islam are working all 12 months. They do not waste time in seminars and meetings. This is age of nuclear weapons. Old pistols are not sufficient to manage onslaught by modern equipments. Appropriate use should be made of TV, print media, movements, communication devices. Cultural deterioration should be urgently arrested.

We want our children to become engineers and doctors. Islam has no objection to seek higher and better positions. First make your children as Muslims. Then you can make arrangements for their degrees and postings. We cannot wallow in ignorance and protect Islam. This is electronic age where knowledge has sweeping influence.
Our children come under various influences when they go out. They see many scenes and are impacted in many different ways. Only two or three TV channels are helpful to us. All other channels are enemies to our religion. There will be adverse impact from repeatedly watching them. We should first pay attention towards this. Book releases and meetings are not the solution. Darkness is in the house. Disease has penetrated deep. Applying ailment on the skin is not going to cure. Shaitan has entered our houses.
Lack of modesty has become one important reason for Irtadad. Our culture was considered medieval. But they are panicking when they see their children straying. People trapped in other cultures are in distress. ‘bepardagi’ (indecency) leads us to sins. But now as a development of this age, it is taking us to Kufr also.
People have become very greedy. Lakhpathi wants to become Crorepathi. They turn their backs to Islam when the go up the ladder and incline towards Kufr.
Missionaries do not go to rich people. They target poor. They take advantage of poverty, implement some welfare schemes and convert them.
To stop this fitna, parents should first prepare themselves. Houses should be set right. The children for whom you toiled day and night are becoming prey for others. Seminars and public events are not endpoints. This is only to instill right spirit. People against Islam are working all 12 months. They do not waste time in seminars and meetings. This is age of nuclear weapons. Old pistols are not sufficient to manage onslaught by modern equipments. Appropriate use should be made of TV, print media, movements, communication devices. Cultural deterioration should be urgently arrested.
Three Are Responsible For Cultural Deterioration
Speech by Maulana Khaja Shareef, Jamia Nizamia, at 'Fitna-e-irtadad aur roktham' event organized at Mugalpura playground, Hyderabad
Published in Muslim Murasu, April 2012
In earlier times, people were attracted by good character of Muslims and they embraced Islam. But now, Muslims are renouncing Islam. This does not happen usually. This is a fitna (problem) of this age. Allah brought Muslims to spread religion. But Muslims are now leaving Islam.
Aalim, family members and people of the neighborhood should share the responsibility. Consider there is a murder in a neighborhood. According to Fiqh rules, if the murderer is not identified within a specified time, then all the inhabitants in that area will be held accountable and made to pay fine. This is called kasana. A murderer with a cruel mentality has stayed among you and you allowed him to commit this grave crime. The crime will belong to entire people of that Muhalla.
Islam spread through good character. Rasoolullah toiled hard for 13 years in Mecca. Then he continued in Medina for six more years. In this 19 years, 4000 or 5000 people had accepted Islam. Hudaibiya agreement was signed in Hijri 6. Ten years of peace was announced. Islam is not religion for war. In these peaceful years, people of Mecca traveling to Sham used to stay in Muslim houses in Medina. They witnessed lifestyle of Muslims. Muslims did not sermonize in this period. But their character was impressive. The way they behaved with parents, good character of wife, showing hospitality to even harshest enemies attracted people of Mecca. Fifty thousand people newly joined Islam in these two years.
Khaira Ummath is needed for everyone. Each creature needs you. “kuntum khaira ummathi ukhrijath linnaas”. Now situation has changed. Muslims are moving away from Islam.
Imam Malik (rah) collected some rare Hadees. Solution to this problem is found in book Muatha. There is no new way for Islah (reformation) of people. People can be reformed only in the way that was used to reform earlier communities. There is no other way. ‘Lai yaslaha’.
Practical model; amali tadbeer. Quran describes many societies that have gone astray and communities that were reformed. If all that can be put in one line, we need role models. If there are role models, people will overcome obstacles and come close. We don’t have models in our houses. There is not even a conducive atmosphere. You have to become role models in your houses. I hear that in some families in Hyderabad, parents and children sit together and watch vulgar films. We have to prepare for Janasa if this is true. Parents should discipline their children if they do wrong. Inna lillahi.
Parents have become reason for Irtadad. Shaitan has vowed to stray us. Surah 7, Al Ahraf, verse 16. I will sit on your straight path. ‘la akvudanna lahum sirathal mustakeem’. They love and spread indecency. Surah 24, Noor, verse 19 – allazeena yuhiboona an tasheehal fahishath.

Give Guru's Share
Muslim Murasu, April 2012
Guru, master, ustad or sheikh is where one can learn the art of life. The need for this training will be felt every second in life. Saints can impart this training in a brief face to face meeting with him. Remaining life will be a continuation of this learning process. One can continue to receive benefits even from distance. But the prerequisite is that guru and student should travel on the same straight path. Intention should be same. Target, objective, plan and direction should be one. Sacred Text will give its attestation to the holiness of guru. Allah, Rasool, Ameer, this order of authority cannot be broken. One leads to another.
Human mentality is spending lakhs of rupees to learn engineering, medicine, communication, commerce and IT. But they are reluctant to formally learn Taqwa. One can receive wisdom from appreciating experts of Sacred Book. Hearts will be cultured to take and face vicissitudes of life, losses and gains, with same spirit. Restlessness, yearning, distress, rage and panic will be controlled. Money can do many things, but cannot give life. A complete guru can do wonders, miracles that money can’t. The religious campuses that we see today will turn out to be consequences of discourses, preaching, prayers and suggestions of a saint. Guidance makes good hearts.
A religious person should first understand the importance of guru, sheikh or ustad. Ameersaab has been given authority. He stays in close contact with God and spends his time in worship. He is fountain of wisdom. His prayers will be answered. He lives disciplined, noble life. Administration of earth has been given in his charge. He displays no selfishness. Sheikhs are working in every Muhalla, district, state and direction. It is compulsory duty, farl ein, to honor them. Rule is simple. Hearing their speeches will decrease material desires and turn our attention towards afterlife. Confusions and doubts in our hearts will be removed. He will preach goodness. He has the capacity to check trappings of Shaitan.
People who have benefited from Sheikh’s preaching should not be satisfied with ten rupees or fifty rupees donation. Good guidance is priceless. Donations shall be liberal. It will bring Barakath. Muslim society is lagging in honoring and keeping Shaikhs in high esteem. Those whose life has changed by discourses should sacrifice some time. One third of income and half or a quarter of the wealth shall be donated. Donating to guru is essential for the growth of religion. Money and wealth can be donated to receive wisdom of Quran. Sacred book shall not be given for free.

Farsightedness Of The State Government
Muslim Murasu, April 2012
Tamil Muslims laid foundation sixty years back for the commercial developments in Hongkong, Malaysia, Singapore and Burma. There is no land on earth that Muslims from Ramanathapuram and Tirunelveli have not visited. A disposition towards trade, global travels, privatization and modernization are hardwired into the blood of Tamil Muslims. Tamilians can rightly feel proud of transforming Arab deserts into world-class cities over the past 40 years. Privitization introduced by Honorable Prime Minister Narasimha Rao is now being vigorously pursued in Tamilnadu. 15 lakh crore rupees plan unveiled by Tamilnadu Chief Minister deserves welcome. The role, domination and involvement of government is receding day by day. Government will henceforth function as facilitator. A government reeling under a loan of one and half lakh crore rupees cannot be strong. Foreign investments and multinational behemoths will hereafter decide directions and lead the way.
Tamil Muslims have trade astuteness. Privitization is desirable. They can generously and liberally participate in the growth planned for the next 11 years. Long gone are the days when India mortgaged its gold reserves in offshore banks. Economy, commerce, exports, imports, media and IT have thrown global doors wide open. Tamilians can not anymore march independently. Entry and mercy of foreign capitalists cannot be avoided. It is in the best interests of Tamil Muslims to grasp the coming times. There is no principle difference between ruling and opposition parties in Tamilnadu. Whoever rules, globalization is the rule. Political parties are in bitter competition to attract foreign investments. Tamil Muslim traders should identify themselves as small, medium-level or large contractors and establish good relation with the government. Associations bringing together various enterprises shall be established urgently. Muslims are well acquainted to hundreds of years of global merchandise experiences. Today, an opportunity greets them in their own land. Intellectuals, activists, religious scholars, media experts and leaders should constructively goad them to take advantage. Seminars and workshops shall be organized at district and region levels to show proper guidance and clarity. They can join hands to the far sightedness of the state government. Otherwise, community will be crippled for hundred years; haplessness will rule the roost and there will be no way for prosperity.

Concealing Poverty
Baba Ramdev interview on TV
Excerpt published in Muslim Murasu, March 2012
Swamijis are grave threat to politics. Imaginations are set on fire likening them to extremists and terrorists. Qualities of saints are in the open for 120 crore Indians to scrutinize. Service and betrayals will be discussed by the public. Those who taint saints are easily able to take photographs in closeness with chief ministers. Medias release photographs. Politicians who are aloof from the public become desperate. People do not abandon Swamijis.
Black money is in the mix in medicine industry, narcotic sales, election extravaganzas and real estate transactions. Politicians can expose black money. Those who pulverized politics fear saints. They are categorizing saints as those who are cloistered in maths and those who venture out, collect people and expose abominable scandals in the country. There is no question of closeness or relations for saints. Citizens of India are struggling for their life. We have to guard both Yoga Dharma and social Dharma. “Do yoga. Do not interfere in politics”. This is the warning issued. A complete conspiracy is hatched. Let us face the facts.
All political parties accept in principle to bring back black money stashed abroad. Wealth details of bureaucrats, higher rung politicians and dominating businessmen should be revealed. People sitting in power are maintaining abject silence. There is not a single action. Wealth details of Qaddafi were not known until he was in power. His gold and silver reserves were exposed once he was expelled from power. Property of one Qaddafi was mind boggling. There are thousand Qaddafis hidden in India.
No one has to apologize to me. Saints have renounced everything. They don’t harbor fear or favor for anyone. They will forgive mistakes and excesses of everyone. No one has to fall in the feet of Swamiji. Police force was unleashed on those protesting against black money at Ramlila ground. They sinned. Truth cannot be kept in the darkness for long. Politicians, rulers are afraid of truth, reality. They are in mortal fear and distress. Ruling structure is covering the poverty in the nation with veil.

National Parties And Betrayals
Muslim Murasu, February 2012
Positions taken by regional parties are mostly with narrow vision. Leadership ends within a small landscape. Broad outlook and vision are not expected. Nature and dimensions of problems and their solutions vary between a population of 7 crore and a population of 120 crore.
The regional parties that march to parliament richly reap harvest from power centers in Delhi. Once the opportunity for parliament seat or central ministry dwindles, the same regional party seeks to lead people to confusion and offers all bad guidance. Solutions to problems are not going to pop out from inter-state clashes. People will alienate and stay aloof. Those residing in the state borders will be troubled.
Politicians who have lost elections and have been fled away by people and reduced to live their lives within state or district limits, are continuously on the lookout for new issues. They incite innocent people. Transportation is hindered. Bandhs and strikes are childish. This will aggravate poverty; pull down national income and per-capita income. Journalists who are prowling for news exaggerate immeasurably even minor incidents. Tamil people forget these developments within few weeks or months. Then politicians set their eyes on a fresh issue. Another three months of public gatherings, strikes, entertainment, collection, tours and theatrics.
No problem is conclusively solved. Permanent solutions are not in sight. High courts and Supreme Court overreaches into administrative limits. Stay orders and solutions offered do not bring back peace. Issues are put in back-burner.
These days when globalization is inexorably penetrating deep, it is essential to have water treated and recycled. Rains falling on the state should be adequately retained. Rainwater harvesting should be effectively implemented. Drip irrigation and dry land irrigation can be beneficial. River water sharing has been causing conflicts between various countries in the world. Water sharing between states is distorting and threatening national outlook. National parties have not offered appropriate guidance. They are adding fuel to fire. Big parties can act with courage and bring an end to river sharing problem.

Increasing Religious Festivals
Muslim Murasu, February 2012
People in Tamilnadu are hassled with thousands of problems. Religious messages are coming as tender breeze to their hearts. Rationalism and materialism held sway in recent years. Inflation and skyrocketing real estate prices are excruciatingly painful. Elders are not respected. Television and films engage youngsters. Nuclear families are on the rise. No one knows any escape from heart-wrenching problems. Spirituality, advices, religious festivals and meditation programs prove to be beneficial and curative. Religious aversion is giving way to religious fervor. New religious centers are sprouting cutting across all religions. People having trust in God will not be forsaken. Passion for religion is again starting to dominate in the hearts of Tamil people.
Religiosity, religious preaching and spending from different religious sections should alleviate poverty. Ancient elders created lakes and planted trees. They constructed community halls and feeding centers for the needy. In those days, religious following guaranteed protection to human lives. Religious sentiment should not stop with slogan, zikr and shouting in amplified speakers. Poverty should not have its ugly dance where religious center is installed. Helping poor will be regarded as helping God. Religion should guarantee right to live for every creature under the sky.
Tamilnadu should lead the way in India. Energetic and passionate spiritual lectures beamed from Gujarat are reaching Tamilnadu through private television channels. It was a heartening sight to see Muslim women, unmindful of even severe cold, participating to hear spiritual lectures by scholars who came from north, recently in 12 days Milad celebrations organized in the central part of the capital city of Tamilnadu. Christians, for their part, are taking advantage of private television slots and improving their standard. Tamilnadu with its thriving spirituality will surely ascertain livelihood rights. God will shower His blessings.

Black Money And Inflation
Muslim Murasu, January 2012
Reserve Bank of India manages currency note printing. On an average, a currency note changes 50 hands before becoming unusable. Currency worth of ten lakh crore rupees is in circulation in India. National growth is 60 lakh crore rupees. People do not carry currency all the time in their hands and pockets. Two lakh crore rupees of currency notes is adequate.
There is no way 50 times 10 lakh crore rupees will be used. Black money use internally in India is around 150 lakh crore rupees. Money stashed abroad is 400 lakh crore rupees. Rampant hoarding of money started since 1990. Indian names have been recovered from Swiss banks. Politicians, higher officials and large entrepreneurs have been in this habit.
Baba Ramdev suggests that denominations of 500 rupees and 1000 rupees should be pronounced void. This will bring out white money and black money will go down the trash.
Money locked in vaults is not going to benefit anyone. Strong steps are needed to control this. Money movement of those having accounts with foreign banks should be brought under radar. There are no relatives abroad nor is there any foreign business; but the folks continuing to do foreign transactions are puzzling.
Banking contacts with countries that function as tax havens should be completely severed. Black money sharks should be awarded death sentence. Indian money stashed abroad should be declared as national property. Investments from Mauritius should be probed.
Price hikes are reflection of hoarding. There is constant manufacturing going on and 120 crore Indians are continuously toiling. But prices are spiraling up without any stop. Those who do not pay taxes properly should be eliminated from public life. Otherwise, inflation won’t reduce.
Hostile news is always on air about neighboring countries of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and China. But there is no hatred towards nations hosting black money banks that cripple Indian economy. Hypocrisy of our patriots becomes evident. Indian mentality to pose faith in foreign banks should be analyzed. Indian loyalty and foreign loyalty should be defined and discussed. Fear and hatred psychosis towards Indian banks and love and faith for foreign banks should be brought to light. There is no other way to rein in inflation.

Madrasa Administration Lapses
Muslim Murasu, January 2012
Christian practices, traditions, language and culture were thrust upon Indian people during British rule. Guns and canons, prisons and gallows supported this. In such difficult situation, in the interest of protecting religious rituals and fundamentals, Muslims placed their hopes on Madrasa movement, supported it dearly and developed it with reverence.
In the current technology era, religious preachings and teachings are reaching households through television, internet and videos. One has never seen the preacher. But views are influencing the hearts strongly, thanks to internet. Audience base swells fast in this age.
Wakf property, by and large, has not been properly monitored and managed in Tamilnadu. Muslim society has been lax and wobbling in public property administration. Trustees are undeniably dominating with bossy attitude. The rule of the wealthy has become intolerable.
Fifty years earlier, religious heads received great respect from Muslim society. Tableegh madrasa, Tareekath madrasa, Wahabi madrasa, Dargah madrasa, these schisms have made people tired. Muslim society started reducing Madrasa involvement. Crowds in convocation ceremonies have gone down in number. Student admission has become sparse and troublesome. Quality is on free fall. Offspring of senior religious heads have landed IT jobs, medical, engineering and management graduations. They do not come for religious preaching.
People have to know about Madrasa administration, funding, student and trainer counts, qualifications, background and wealth details. Laxity in madrasa administration have surfaced recently in magazines. Religious heads and institutions should operate transparently. They should leverage internet development and submit relevant information to the society. Otherwise, madrasa movement will become weak.

Wakf property, by and large, has not been properly monitored and managed in Tamilnadu. Muslim society has been lax and wobbling in public property administration. Trustees are undeniably dominating with bossy attitude. The rule of the wealthy has become intolerable.
Fifty years earlier, religious heads received great respect from Muslim society. Tableegh madrasa, Tareekath madrasa, Wahabi madrasa, Dargah madrasa, these schisms have made people tired. Muslim society started reducing Madrasa involvement. Crowds in convocation ceremonies have gone down in number. Student admission has become sparse and troublesome. Quality is on free fall. Offspring of senior religious heads have landed IT jobs, medical, engineering and management graduations. They do not come for religious preaching.
People have to know about Madrasa administration, funding, student and trainer counts, qualifications, background and wealth details. Laxity in madrasa administration have surfaced recently in magazines. Religious heads and institutions should operate transparently. They should leverage internet development and submit relevant information to the society. Otherwise, madrasa movement will become weak.

Are Mosques Needed In Every Street?
Muslim Murasu, January 2012
Offering prayers in groups is 27 times more beneficial. Long distance to mosques has caused a surge in new mosques. Continuously commissioning this work costing two crore rupees will lead to economic plundering.
The role of mosques in social, economic and education system is meager. There are adequate number of mosques for 50 lakh devotees in Tamilnadu. Additional mosques are not going to uplift the community. Mosques shall transform as helping centers. Building should help and prioritize poverty eradication. Otherwise, it will become a burden on the society.
Muslims have adequate and excess fund for social managing. Wedding ceremonies are perfect evidences. Surging foreign travel and pilgrimage applications further testify this.
Notice boards in mosques should serve as information dispensations and connecting bridges. Juma announcements should support poor families. Protecting God and uplifting Muslim family; of these two, priority should go to human side. This will strengthen religion.
Families are languishing in rented houses. New mosques and new societies are retrograde ideas. Traditional, ancient mosques should be put to proper use 24 by 7. New mosques coming up with urgency and out of emotional outburst will only increase hotheads and unfits.
Construction can be stalled for some time. Inflation is throttling. Backs of Moomins are breaking under unbearable stress. Families reeling under income of less than 50000 rupees will render disgraceful thoughts. Government is content to be onlooker. Change in government won’t bring change in poverty situation.
Education, employment, loans with easy installments, industrial training and marriage counsel should get priority. New buildings are no more needed. Philanthropists should donate their money only for eradicating poverty in Muslim society. Poverty will bring apostasy. Compelling need now is to populate already established, empty mosques.

Fifty Thousand Rupees Per Month
Muslim Murasu, January 2012
Inflation has not come under control with the change in the government. Monthly income of fifty thousand rupees can help manage inflation.
Protest, agitation, marches, strikes, meetings, gatherings, condemnation, point to weakness. Political parties do not have any useful suggestion to offer. Politician enjoying the comfort of AC car, bungalow, air journeys, foreign contacts, dominance of offspring and security setup seek every avenue to divert the issues. Babri Masjid demolition, Cauvery water problem, shouts for Yalpanam, Pakistan threat, flash bombings, onion price rise, Bofors scam, coffin scandal, Swiss bank accounts, black money drama, these are some of handy headlines. Magic phrases are used to mislead people. Politicians secure their families with colossal money and go to people only to leave them confused. Sabotaging relationship with adjacent states and fostering trouble with neighboring countries are part of the scheme. The elan with which politicians condemn America while maintaining frequent visits to the same country cannot be given a fitting sketch.
Muslims in Tamilnadu are battered and bruised by this spiraling price rises. They should not fall prey to diversionary tactics. Politicians raise slogans to amass more and more wealth.
Koodankulam, Mullai Periyar, Walmart, the list continues. Retail business revenue is 20 lakh crore rupees. Even if one-fourth tax were paid, it would have been 5 lakh crores. Poverty can be completely eradicated in India.
Muslims should not pay heed to protests and agitations. Anti-government stand is perilous. New and successive governments repeating the same follies with dexterity is what we have been seeing and got used to in the past 65 years. Police, court and prison operate under the aegis of government. Officers pledge unswerving allegiance to government. Muslims can avoid damage by supporting government. There is no point in opposing government. Only malafide cases can be the prize. Primary objective today is 50000 per month. Let us find ways to improve family income. We can support only the organizations, movements and leadership that take us in this direction. Let us stay away from diversionary dramas.
