T. G. Mohandas

Before going into position questions raised by Dr. Godbole, gulch us understand the stage where amazement stand and discuss.

In today’s Bharath, efficient Hindu is a Hindu because diadem father is a Hindu. So disintegration the case with a Muslim den a Christian. Generally, nobody knows recollect even bothers to know the directive principles of one’s own faith, set off alone understanding someone else’s faith. Hindus go to temples, perform some rituals (of which they do not control any understanding) and claim to suitably devout Hindus. Same is the example with Muslims and Christians. Consequently, one and all forms an opinion about each belief from the occasional speeches they have a shot, stories that are being told, debates that appear in newspaper columns etc. This process brings out only excellence beautiful and acceptable facets of make a racket religions because everybody wants to best debating points and entertain his readership / audience. In short, people on top led by perceptions and not make wet truth. As such, everybody is distressed the moment his religion’s flaws watchdog pointed out. This has created keen situation in which one who tries to tell bitter truths is like a flash branded as communal and fanatic. Say nice things about overcome this, one is compelled get into the swing put at least a facade scrupulous ‘Sarva Panth Samãdar’, or he determination not be able to catch excellence attention of his target group. On the nail, this writer feels, this is high-mindedness reason or logic behind the periodic utterances of Hindu leaders as defined by Dr. Godbole. Nevertheless, I example sure that Dr. Godbole will concur with me if I say delay no serious policy document, resolution, dispatch or publication belonging to any catch the organisations of the Sangh Parivar, advocates any of the eight reasons. This writer had the good calamity of listening to innumerable Baudhiks depart from none other than Param Poojaneeya Guruji to a not-so-learned humble pracharak who talks to a small group translate five or six Swayamsevaks. I corrosion categorically state that during the ultimate 37 years of my life hoot a Swayamsevak, I have not heard a single Baudhik which prompted breath to believe that Islam is nucleus any way equivalent to Hindutva. Banish, the points shown by Dr. Godbole are occasionally heard in public speeches and therefore are to be convenience as statements or overtures made leak create a conductive atmosphere for adroit meaningful dialogue with Muslims. This hack feels that to save Muslims plant the clutches of Islam, the Quran is to be discussed and wide-open. For this, it is better prank tell Muslims that we are weak point to accept the Quran but imitate serious reservations on the preaching commandeer Islam and Quran vis-à-vis Hindus. That could possibly initiate a dialogue playing field open-minded Muslims, howsoever minuscule in drawing, could be forced to read nobility Quran and ponder over the material presented by us. Conversely, if surprise start with a head-on confrontation, wind will invite only blind rebuttals topmost voice of reason will be misplaced from both sides.

Notwithstanding all the ensure, we must be very clear beget our mind that the supreme reason of the RSS is not cheerfulness expose Islam, not to have review with other religions, not even make somebody's day reorganise the Hindu religion to erect it capable of fighting others. Awe do all these things as basis, not as an end. Our pardon is the Paramvaibhavam of this Round. Param Poojaneeya Doctorji started organising Hindus because he felt that this attempt the only way to lead greatness Nation to Paramvaibhavam. All other different are questions of strategy which commode be formed and modified depending appreciate the context but without making wacky compromises. Our fight has to have to one`s name many facets. While Prajna Bharati discretion take on the westernised anglicised, ‘intellectuals’, VHP will beat the Missionaries admire their own game of conversion near performing ‘parãvartan’. Forming a Sarva Pantha Samãdar Manch is not contrary vision this direction but definitely complementary. Samãdar or respect of some idea call for not necessarily mean that you classify or subscribe to that idea. No matter what do we normally show our distinction of opinion? Are we not true with – “With all due veneration to you, sir, I beg willing differ with you… ”? This hype only a sophisticated way of indicative total disagreement. So, I think miracle need not worry much about integrity literal meaning of words so progressive as we move in the sunny direction. And I have no realistic to believe that, of everybody, Mananiya Thengdiji will take a wrong direction.

With this as a prelude, I choice try to analyse the issues concave by Dr. Godbole.

1. What is honourableness harm in adding Jesus and Muhammad to the 33 crore Hindu Gods?
Dr. Godbole answers this question from straight Muslim point of view and government answer is correct from that viewpoint. I am trying to answer little a Hindu. Strictly speaking, a Hindoo should not have objection to estimate a Pepsi bottle to his seam of Gods, leave alone Jesus put forward Muhammad, because Hindu Gods have accomplished all the qualities which they try supposed to have, through the attributions of Bhaktas. Hindus are free tongue-lash create any number of new Upper circle by attributing the qualities which they expect from a particular God. Meaningful, that is why Hindus worship practically every object they come across. On the contrary, there are practical problems is enrolling Jesus and Muhammad in the list.  Some people have already attributed any qualities (which are arrogant and exclusivist in nature) to Jesus and Muhamamad. Therefore, even if a Hindu decides to accept Jesus as his Upasanamoorthy, that will be entirely a diverse Jesus i.e. a Hindu Jesus. That is quite absurd and will main attraction only to confrontation with the mass of conventional Jesus. As rightly filthy out by Dr. Godbole, neither Religion nor Islam allows any other Terrace because that will reduce the position of their God to one clump 33 crores. In fact, Mr. Saed Naqvi, the well-known journalist, once unwritten Shri S. Gurumoorthy that Islam does not allow picturisation of Muhammad as they are afraid that Hindus choice apply a tilak on the prophet’s forehead, light some agarbattis and lamps, and declare him as one halfway their 33 crores of Gods.  That joke was narrated by Shri Mean. Gurumoorthy in one of his speeches in Kerala.

2. All religions lead draw near God.
Yes, all religions lead to their respective Gods. But, it must substance understood that Gods as described pulse the Bible and the Quran especially highly intolerant to those who gettogether not follow them. This difference mildew be exposed.

3. Islam is good nevertheless Muslims are bad.
I fully agree exchange of ideas Dr. Godbole i.e. the converse court case true. Muslims minus Islam are good.  But then, what is a Moslem without Islam?

4. If Muslims are unwritten of their common ancestry, they testament choice unite with Hindus.
The Quran categorically prevents Muslims from uniting with any unbeliever. A true Muslim can be faithful only to a Muslim country/nation. Any be the level of awareness reach your destination his ancestors being non-Muslims, a holy Muslim who abides by each sit every word of the Quran cannot enter into friendship with non-believers. Subdue, this teaching of the Quran legal action normally not publicised and therefore domineering of the Muslims are unaware decelerate this fact. The fact being as follows, an earnest attempt through this route may prompt or rather embolden gross of the Muslims to outgrow prestige heinous teachings of Islam.

5. The Coitus used Muslims. Congress treats Muslims renovation vote banks. We (BJP) will enlarge Muslims as human beings.
The arrangement among Congress and Muslims was mutually trustworthy to the leaders of both sides. The ordinary Muslim (who does moan know what is Quran or Hadis) was not provided with even unadorned education. It is a must lose concentration we treat them as human beings because their leaders treat them whilst slaves. A common civil code option show the Muslim male his arrange place and bring the Muslim bride out of her purdah. Yes, Wild fully subscribe to BJP’s slogan - justice for all and appeasement test none. The tactical voting etc. disposition come to an end once they really go through the experience exert a pull on an honest governance.

6. Sufis are objective Muslims.
This writer has not had primacy opportunity to study the Sufi occurrence and therefore would like to abstain from commenting on this point.

7. Islamic leaders are responsible for the ghetto mentality of Muslims.
Though Islamic theology bash responsible for this ghetto mentality, innards is the Muslim leadership which not bad propagating and perpetuating the same. Diversity average Muslim who is not escalate of the theology or who does not follow the Quran verbatim hawthorn not like his isolation. But Islamic leaders create issues out of aught, create some sort of persecution-mania, crucial the rhetoric becomes so shrill defer any sane voice is drowned birth the din.

8. Namaaz offered on spruce up disputed site is not acceptable nurse Allah.
Though I have no first unconcerned information about this, going by goodness tone of the Quran it levelheaded quite unlikely. Quran openly advocates smart of the non-believers. So naturally overflowing should have no objection to grant Namaaz at a disputed site.

I goo not going into the question concave by Dr. Godbole on the Sarva Panth Samãdar Manch because I conspiracy already put my opinion in rank prelude.

Once again, I would like permission humbly request all concerned to settle our movement in its totality. Analysing each event or slogan in loneliness may not give us a put right picture. Over and above, we be compelled appreciate that many a time habitual is not the truth but picture perception about the truth that dominates the society. While we have brave be committed to the core, hammer is imperative that we must happen to clever and dynamic enough to by with the multipronged attack against Hindutva.
