Muflis Muslims - The Marginalized Minorities.

Few days ago video of Imam of Race Course Road went viral in which he told about the water and electricity cut in the mosque and the order to empty the mosque for demolition. The Race Course Road mosque is more than hundred years old and demolishing such structure without prior notice has become the norm with the BJP government. Even if it was due to some development work why there is no plan for rehabilitation and reconstruction. 

Moreover this is not the first time. Across several Indian states, a pattern of administrative extrajudicial actions—often framed as anti-encroachment drives or urban beautification—has resulted in the demolition of historically and culturally significant mosques, shrines, and madrasas. Behind these physical demolitions lies a deeply troubling reality: the systematic sidelining of the Muslim community, characterized by state indifference, disregard for due process, and a climate of socio-political disenfranchisement.

According to a study nearly 70 mosques most of which are historically significant and were used for prayers were demolished even when these mosques have stay orders against the illegal demolition. 

The Akhoondji Mosque (New Delhi): In early 2024, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) bulldozed the 600-year-old Akhoondji Mosque alongside an adjoining madrasa and ancient graves in Mehrauli. The operation was carried out in pre-dawn hours without prior notice to the mosque committee, depriving local caretakers of any opportunity to seek legal recourse or salvage historic texts.

Shahi Masjid (Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh): In late 2026, administrative pressure surrounding road-widening projects for a regional pilgrimage led to heavy security deployment around the historic Shahi Mosque. Faced with imminent administrative demolition, the local community felt compelled to dismantle portions of their own place of worship.

Saharanpur Collectorate Mosque (Uttar Pradesh): Authorities demolished a century-old mosque within the collectorate complex under high security. Opposition leaders and representatives attempting to intervene or raise legal objections were placed under house arrest, sparking widespread outrage.

Gareeb Nawaz Al Maroof Mosque (Barabanki, UP): Despite court orders directing a temporary stay, local administrative bodies summarily bulldozed the historic structure on allegations of illegal construction.

Medina Masjid (Shalimar Bagh-Delhi) : First upper floors of the mosque were demolished ensuring local Muslim community of no further action. Later the entire structure was demolished even when locals protested against the action. 

The fundamental issue in these actions is not merely urban enforcement, but the consistent bypass of constitutional safeguards. Under standard legal procedures, any eviction or demolition requires written notice, clear administrative hearings, and time for judicial appeal.And at places where they have stay orders, government illegally performed the action during night or early morning hours to keep people away. 

Minority rights have become mockery today and even court orders are not taken seriously by this government and when Muslims come out in protest they label them terrorists. The government which come on slogan of "Sabka Saath, Sabka Vishwas" is in no mood to assure minorities specially Muslims. BJP and RSS supporters rejoice such action and wish for annihilation of Muslim community. 

Muslims on the other hand have not resort to any kind of violence. They are appealing courts, people of India to speak against the injustices done to the community. Poor Muslims of the northern part of the country are the most affected from government's partiality. I hope more common people of Hindu community started speaking against the injustices of government against Muslims. Because "Injustice anywhere is threat to justice everywhere" - Martin Luther King Jr.    

Hate the Hate

Hate the Hate

'Hate the Hate or It Will Destroy the Entire Race'

The business of hate is prevailing around the world and we may understand it in few years time but until then it will be too late for some to come back to love. I am not saying it because three Indians killed recently in USA due to hate crimes where killers said them to ‘Go Back To Your Countries’ after ban on immigrants of certain nation is imposed by President Donald Trump but because such crimes are rampant in all parts of the world. 

Be it atrocities on Rohingya Muslims in Burma, common Syrians in Syria, Immigrants and Black killings in USA and Europe, Hindu killings in Bangladesh, Americans killing in many Middle eastern countries, attacks and killings on North-East Indian, minorities, Dalits and Muslims in India. These all are due to hate. These crimes has arose from teaching people that one is better than the other and that other don’t belong to us who are better. Weather it is for people of some color, religion, region or for people who eat differently, who behave differently, who look different from us and who are not the same like majority. These people or organizations play victim card that their existence is threatened by some people and if those people/religion must not be stopped than it perish them. If such things happening they highlight it many folds and if nothing of that sort is available they will create situation for their benefits. 

The danger of this situation is a divided world and divided humanity. We see the pains of few and neglect the sufferings of others. We inculcate in this way a habit of hatred and hatred will never give rise to love it will only open gates for more hatred which then will not see the color/religion/region of the victim at the time of attack. The people who can hate easily can hate anybody and not the others created by them. What Donald Trump has started is ongoing in India and many parts of the world for years and since there were not many strong voices against them it has increased to such an extent. With President of one of the biggest country in the world is endorsing it this is spreading like an epidemic now. 

The people of America has condemned such hatred since the time Donald Trump used it in his presidential campaign but his win suggests that majority supports this idea. Similar victories are happening and have happened in last few years in many parts of the world. The growing unemployment has given a proper breeding ground for spread of this decease. The growth models are not people centric which are worsening the situation further. The only solution is Love and compassion for each other. It’s time we promote Universal Brotherhood and Humanity to save the world from this disease. God Bless the World. 

Minority

Minority

This word is very common in India. But what this means? If we look at the dictionary meaning of this word this means a small number or part esp.a number that is less than half the whole number but in social and political sphere of the country it means privileges and vote bank. Each group or community states it self as minority to enjoy special grants and reservations in various government jobs and educational institutes,some presents themselves as being exploited for being in minority, so called majority in turn accuses injustice to them in providing special treatment to minority. Also there are so many minorities in India, religious minorities,cast based minorities, region based minorities,language based minorities and so on and there are also many political and non political representatives of these minorities which fought for there cause.

My purpose for writing this article is not to become another supporter to these groups but to mention another minority which is neglected and don't even have any representative. The honest citizen of country which actually suffered a lot. 

They are the people which care for nation,region,religion,family and everything else but there is no one to care for them. A honest person doesn't get a good job and if so others put difficulties in there honest functioning be it Satendra Dubey of Bihar, Zia Ul Huq of Uttar Pradesh,in education,administration ever where they all fall prey to the system who don't wants them to be loyal to there work and force them to be part of majority i.e. corrupt force. If we look at the other side of the issue lack of representation of such people is responsible for all other problems in the country today.

There is a need to think about this minority,these people don't come from somewhere else but among ourselves. I read a story in childhood which states that to be a true lover of country it is not necessary to be in the armed forces or lead the country but to do our works sincerely and  honestly.If each one of us will play our part properly in any field with which we are associated honestly than there will be a majority in the country ,the majority of honest people. Think of country before yourself in any action you take.
