The stars,Al Qaeda and Indian Muslims.... Musings
Time is spinning around me. Distant galaxies never get tired , watching us 'the toddlers' in its saga of evolution. we parade around our distinct achievements for our manic development run. the stars are smiling at us, watching with amusement , the struggle of us to break free. Our struggle to break away from the daily drudgery, the boredom, the passion less existence. the comets has many times whispered in our ears the secrets of eternity. but we never listen. Every time a new star tries to make us understand, when it reaches its death bed. Days and time, achievements and passions are all mere notions, the false notions with out which we may die infertile. Yes, die we must. we must die with all sense of achievement and passion satisfied. after all, such ideas propels us forward. Propels the great humanity forward. The great consciousness is inching forward. inch by inch we progress. we make so much sounds and furry , living in this small dot in a vast surface. all the philosophical discussion ends to nothing and points to nothing. by not being bored and having the passion to create is the bottom line. I support the the creators of this world whole heartedly. those who are ready to have a vision and work for it. they propels the world forward. a society bent on intellectual discourse and religious intensity will not find its future generation well fed. it is the enterprising persons who makes a difference. I am forced to muse on all these, when i hear the news of AlQaeda declaring Jihad on India. how absurd. killers, declaring holy war on the oldest civilization in the world. When the word enterprise is wrongly understood and used for propagating self defeating ideas, we must pity and scorn the propagators. I believe, very strong business interest is be behind this organization. They are cunning enough to use the confusion and chaos among the global muslim community after ignoble defeats in the late 19th century onwards from the hands different opponents, be it in the social, economic or ideological fronts. Alqaeda may be under the impression that the Indian muslims can be exploited easily for their goals. I think they will receive cold pity from Indian muslims. Indian muslims had tough times earlier and they had shown exemplary resilience in sailing through that. They had done it with the full cooperation of its sister communities. I believe the Hindus are one of the most tolerant community world over. They have the ability to absorb and accept all cultures and people. My first person observation is they are well ahead of muslims in tolerance and understanding. Muslim community, as i know from being a member myself, lived in fear and ghetto mindset for long time, But the efforts by the society in general and the government in particular is helping it to come out of that phase. The community is beseech ed by all problems that a underdeveloped society has. Extremely ritualistic, dogmatic, thinking inside the box, stymies all creative thinking....All this along with low education level and low level of meaningful employment still remains a big head ache for this community. But the Indian muslims will not aid any Alqaeda plot. The community has pious leaders, who understand the essence of Islam as peace. This understanding is been well filtered down inside this community and it has helped it to withstand many crises. But there is lot of historic injustice to be balmed. The Indian political and business leaders should give more importance to the under developed communities, to make them capable to be in the main stream. Then the enterprise and the passion for inching forward will be meaningful.
