Synopsis

“Status of the Muslim community today, i.e in the post Independent India” is the main concern of this book. For the last many decades, it has been the burning issue in India as to whether the Muslim Community has gone down much below the poverty line ? and whether on Social, political, educational and economic fronts, they are lagging behind form the rest of the communities living in India. The Govt. of India too, being concerned with this issue formulated various Commissions after and high level Committee to report on the status of the Muslims in India. Few of these commissions are Gopal Singh Commission, Rajendra Singh Sachchar Commission ( High leval Committee) and Rang Nath Mishra Commission etc. All these Commissions and Committee were headed by the Non- Muslims but reported the Government about the fast decreasing socio- economic conditions of Muslims in India and all these Commissions and Committee suggested various measures for the upliftment of the Muslim in India.

All these Commissions reported the Government that the Muslim in India are living much below the poverty line and on all fronts and in all spheres of life they have gone down to an alarming condition, and all these Commissions, unanimously suggested the Government to take immediate steps for the betterment of this minority community but no positive steps have ever being taken by the Govt. for the upliftments of the Muslim Community in India resulting which ruled the Country for about One thousand years are fast deteriorating day by day and have reached to the status of a second class citizen..

The Muslim in India have become quite hope less from both the Central and the State Govts sides, as the respective political parties have always gone shedding tears on the plight of the Muslims on the eve of elections for the purpose of getting their votes but in fact non of them did nothing positive rather did not

    One inevitable impact the division had on the people was perhaps one of the greatest refugee crises and migration in history. Over 10 million people moved between India and Pakistan. For the most part, the Hindus generally moved into the Indian subcontinent while the Muslims, who feared Hindu domination, migrated to East and West Pakistan. In Document 8 it shows that there were around 8.6 million Muslim refugees that migrated out of India into either East or West Pakistan. In addition to this extraordinary refugee crises, another effect the division of India had was border tensions. The tensions between the borders of India and Pakistan resulted in India being at the “receiving end of Pakistan’s heavy shelling” and “heavy bombing” (Document 9b). This shows that not only was there a large scale migration crises, there was also several attacks and possibly deaths and casualties from bombs. Also, in document 9a it that states that another effect of the division was that there were “two armed conflicts (in 1965 and 1999) and numerous clashes between Indian and Pakistani forces”. This highlights the various facets of the tensions and problems the division of India had on the Hindus and Muslims. It is inevitable that the division of the region greatly affected the people who lived there by causing the largest migration in human history, armed conflicts, and…

    India is in the centre of a very serious conflict in the world today. It is a very diverse place composed of people from many different religious backgrounds that come from many different regions. Two of the country’s main religions, Muslim and Hindu, have been fighting for hundreds of years for many different reasons. Their feelings of hatred and mistrust for each other are embedded in their memories and will not be forgotten easily. The worst part is there seems to be no initial plan for compromise between the two groups. Though there are many reasons for this conflict, only a few will be touched on. Those that will be touched on are the Islamic attacks on Indian Parliament, the anti-Muslim textbooks, and the Deganga Riots. These are all recent examples of the feud between these two religions and how they are not letting the past go. The Muslim-Hindu relationship is declining and there is no sign of letting up in the near future.…

    The Indian Muslim may not have been a direct victim of US or Israel action in Iraq, Afghanistan or Palestine. But some of them imbibed the idea and spirit of global jehad. As one western commentator said tongue-in-check, it now increasingly appear that “ all the Muslims of the world have gone nuts,” and it is because US actions across the globe have left Muslims with a deep sense of victimhood.…

    This statement triggers the thought-provoking question of why making that point clear seemed to be such a priority of the chapter. The class discussion that followed this reading expanded upon Metcalf’s and Metcalf’s possible literary motives, and what they were trying to convey by describing the considerable change that occurred throughout these centuries. An interesting theory that was brought to my attention during the discussion was that the authors’ goal in deconstructing the perception of India as a “timeless” nation may have been a response to Hindu Nationalism. Certain rhetoric of Hindu Nationalists is centered around painting Muslims in a villainous light--focusing only on past violent occurrences, and not crediting them as the source of any positive change within India-- making the minority Muslim population of India the target of prejudice and discrimination. By Metcalf and Metcalf acknowledging the important role the Sultanate and Mughal empires played in developing India economically, politically, agriculturally and in regards to establishing infrastructure, perhaps people will be more informed when it comes to understanding the advancements that occurred in India due to Islamic…

    It is reasonable to say that Muslim inventions in India had a great impact in its history and influences it’s political, religious and economic condition of our country. Many critics even suggested these inventions along with British later had a great influence to the problems where we are. We can say that the blame game is never going to help us in any way as some scholars revealed the positive influence that it amplified. Now, if we give a depth of the attacks of Arabs, Turks and mughals are placed in one box putting a label of “Islamic invaders” or “Muslim Persecution” . V. Smith puts up “the Muslims were the greatest religious persecutors.” A critic states that Arabs “full of zeal for the spread of the new religion, laid heavy hand upon the religious building of the Hindus and Buddhist.” There are different miss- fortunate distorted picture of the Buddhist and Muslim pious histories. If we carefully observe at the conversions of the Muslims both from Hindus and Buddhism it is seen that it was slow and prolonged process.…

    The historically misapprehended culturally differenced ‘Mappila’ Muslims of Kerala are a little known community in Indian subcontinent, though ‘Malabari’ is more familiar in the Islamic world. The coast of ‘Malabar’ has the first place to host Islam in the country. Since the dawn of Islam in Arabia in the 7th century A.D, the believers carried on the proselytization and the promulgation of the religion along with their maritime activities in different parts of the world. The Muslim community steadily arose in Kerala over centuries through these maritime ties, initially the religious conversion and nuptial alliance of the Arab traders with the native women in the coast. The migration of the Arab Syed and Sufis to the coastal Malabar triggered the rapid changes in the Muslim community of the land. The settlement of the Syed families from the Arab world in early centuries moulded a virtuous Arab settlement in South India.…

    ABSTRACT This paper explores some of the hitherto less known aspects of the Muslim Educational System in pre-colonial India. It examines the broad contours of this system by looking at the public attitude towards knowledge, scholars and students; the various types of institutions, and the evolution of curriculum. It also looks at the depth of Indian scholars’ engagement with ÍadÊth and other sciences. Finally, it also looks at Sufis and their attitude towards the various Islamic sciences. The paper suggests that the educational system of the period under study was organic in structure and was in tune with the needs of the individual and the society. The course of study was a good balance between the temporal and the religious. Indian ‘ulamÉ were fully engaged with the ÍadÊth sciences; and lastly, the Sufis gave great importance to all Islamic sciences. This paper suggests that the historical Muslim educational system in pre-colonial India provides valuable resources for the problems faced by modern educational systems.…

    The existence of madrasas and their growth after independence is generally attributed to a lack of government schools in the vicinity, a situation that could be termed as ‘supply side failure’. As mentioned in table 4.11 principals (45.45%) reported that Muslim access Madrasa education because the educational infrastructure of the state, like Bihar, is in shambles. Absent teachers and poor infrastructural facilities keep Muslim families away from sending their children to such schools. Moreover, Madrasas are generally located in the area of high concentration of Muslim population and the children do not have many options to choose from due to the non-availability of other schools in close vicinity.…

    As a background we have to understand that after 1857 Muslims were passing through a very difficult period, a period of degeneration and decay but the roots of this decay can be traced back to the earlier period. In fact, the decay of the Muslims started with the degeneration of the Mughal Empire and in that context Europeans started coming to India. The British being last of them and ultimately they controlled most of India. It was a beginning of the 17th century that in 1608 that the first British ship belonging to East India Company led by Captain Hawkins landed on the western coast of India, Surat was the name of the place.…
