Maulana Mohammad Iliyas Kandhlawi had founded this organisation in 1926. Even
former president of India Dr. Zakir Husain was associated with this organisation. But
changes that it had undergone since then had made it a threat to the Indian society.

SUMMARY
Neither people of the country know anything about this organization that is breeding jihadies across
the world, nor is media able to sniff anything foul about dangerous activities of Tablighi Jamaat. How
many people in the country know that its headquarters is in a mosque in the Nizamuddin area of Delhi-
the national capital? The organization has its activities spreading across 159 countries that is spreading
terror and involved in conversion activities from the past nine decades. As per the US intelligence
agency, Federal Bureau of Investigation, the number of supporters of this organization has been told to
20-25 crore. This jihadi organization is making a big number of terrorists available in America, Europe,
Asia and Africa. Are intelligence agencies aware about its shenanigans?
The Supreme Court of India has recently ruled that having more than one wife for any Muslim
government official is unlawful. The court ruled that the government banning its officials for having
two wives does not violate Section 25 of the constitution. Marrying more than once cannot be a
Fundamental Right. A Muslim official of the agriculture department in the Uttar Pradesh government
filed an appeal in the SC against the decision of the Allahabad High Court which validated his
termination from the services on ground of marrying more than once. The SC upheld the high court's
decision. The official argued in his petition that Islam allows four marriages and in such a situation the
government law of having one wife cannot be applicable on him for being a Muslim. He has been given
constitutional right to behave as per his religious belief under Section 25 of the constitution. So he could
have more than one wife. The argument of the petitioner was rejected by both the courts. The SC
justified his termination from the government job.
Whosoever comes in power at the Centre, radical elements continue with their anti-national activities.
Recently an organization of the Central government National Council for Promotion of Urdu splurged
government money on glorifying ill famous Islamic jihadi terrorist Shah Waliullah. This is the same
Jihadi who had persuaded Ahmed Shah Abdali to attack India to wipe out Maratha Kingdom.
Interesting thing is that the Central government has done Islamisation of this institution after its
reconstitution. The annual budget of this organization is Rs 100 crore that the Centre government
provides. For the first time in the past three decade, not a single non-Muslim has been included in this
council.
After the death of king of Saudi Arabia Shah Abdulla, the rein of the kingdom has gone in the hands
King Salman and he selectively removed pro-US people in the government. Pakistani Army General
Raheel has been given the highest honour of Saudi Arabia showing India the mirror.
Islamic education has been included in the curriculum in Turkey after 90 years. People of Turkey did
not like this change in education so violent protests started in the country against Islamisation of
education. Pressure is being put on the Turkey government to cancel this Islamic education in the
school curriculum.

Glorifying Islamic jihadi Shah Waliullah
Roznama Rashtriya Sahara on February 16 reported that National Council for Promotion of Urdu and
Delhi Youth Welfare Association tried to glorify Shah Waliullah through a seminar. This is to recall that
Hajrat Shah Waliullah Muhaddits Dahlawi was the person who had invited ruler of Afghanistan
Ahmed Shah Abdali to attack India. The purpose was to end the growing influence of Maratha and Jat
in India with the help of a foreign ruler. Abdali slaughtered Marathas and Jats in battle of Panipat. His
son Abdul Aziz issued Fatwa Azizia to establish Islamic rule in India and advocated killing of kafirs
(non-believers).
The strangest thing was that lakhs of rupees were splurged on such a controversial person while the
fund was provided by the Central government. Addressing the seminar, Prof Ibban Kabal of the Urdu
department of Delhi University said that madarsa education at the time of Shah Waliullah was entirely
different. Students were getting education of every subject not just of Quran. He said that works of
Shah Waliullah have been included in curriculum. He also claimed that the movement started by Shah
Waliullah contributed to the freedom struggle of the country. Another Prof of Delhi University Abdul
Haq suggested that a school must be set up in Jamia Milia Islamia University in the name of Shah
Waliullah Muhaddits Dahlawi. President of Arabic Teachers Association Prof Nauman Khan claimed
that Shah Waliullah was secular but wanted dominance of Islam. Several research papers were
presented about Shah Waliullah in the seminar.
According to Roznama Rashtriya Sahara, National Council for Promotion of Urdu was reconstituted
by the Union HRD ministry. For the first time in the history of the council not a single non-Muslim
member was included in it. Provision of Rs 100 crore has been made in the budget for this institution.
Muzaffar Hussain is the vice president of the newly reconstituted council while its president is Union
HRD minister Smriti Irani. People nominated in the council included Shama Khan (Delhi),
Mohammad Shakeel (Rajasthan), P A Inamdar (Pune), Rafiq Bhandari (Bijapur), Prof Khurshid Anwar
(Muzaffarpur), Dr Nusrat Mehndi (Bhopal), Prof Mohammad Iqbal (Delhi), Mohammad Soaib Qasmi
(Delhi), Prof Sagir Ibrahim (Aligarh), Prof Soaib Inayat Malik (Jammu), Syed Mohammad Ashraf
(Kolkata), Ishattam Afridi (Varanasi), Manvari Begum (Tamil Nadu), Prof Akhtarul Risa,
Commissioner, minority institutions, Kalim Ansar (Uttarakhand), Shakib Kidwai (Aligarh), Hafiz
Muzzaffar (Srinagar), Shaista Yusuf (Bangalore), Haji Mohammad Iqbal Khan (Delhi) and Mujiruddin
(Hyderabad). Different governments nominated members for the National Council for Promotion of
Urdu that included people from every community but the committee constituted in 2015 has only
Muslim members.
This is to recall that Urdu Development Board was constituted in 1997 during the time of Prime
Minister PV Narsimha Rao by the then Union HRD minister Arjun Singh. Its budget was decided at Rs
50 lakh at that time. Later on its name was changed to Urdu Promotion Council and its budget was
India Policy Foundation � February 16, 2015 - March 15, 2015 �4
increased to Rs 10 crore. During the time of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the then director
Hamid Bhatt provided some suggestions to the chairman of the board Dr Murali Manohar Joshi that
free education centers should be opened across the country for Urdu and Persian but finance ministry
turned down the proposal. It was argued that this institution was set up for the promotion of Urdu
therefore centers for Urdu and Persian cannot be opened. At present this promotion council is running
two-year diploma courses at 14325 centers while there are 14308 centers for Persian and Urdu. There is
a plan to open 2300 new centers. Last year 270 non-government institutions donated Rs 1 crore to
organize seminars and talks.
Something interesting to note that during the tenure of Dr Joshi, Union home ministry expressed its
concern sighting intelligence reports that National Urdu Promotion Council had provided financial
assistance to such organizations that had connection with radical Islamic organizations. The home
ministry requested the council that they must be reviewed and financial assistance should be provided
to only such organizations which were recommended by district magistrate or state intelligence
department. Despite such suggestions these centers and institutions were not reviewed.

Properties worth crores to be handed over toWaqf Board
Sahafat on February 3 reported that the government started investigation into the matter of handing
over 123 properties to Waqf Board on petition of Vishwa Hindu Parishad. The total worth of these
properties is around Rs 60,000 crore and this property was given to Delhi Waqf Board by the Uttar
Pradesh government. Union urban development minister M Venkaiah Naidu said that a delegation
met him in this regard. The delegation said that in January 2014, urban development ministry under
the UPA government de-notified 123 properties and handed them over to Delhi Waqf Board. This
decision was taken by the government in March 2014 just a day before the general elections were
announced. These properties were acquired by the British government between 1911 and 1915 which
was challenged by the VHP in Supreme Court. An official of the ministry informed about the VHP
challenging it in the court. The VHP is saying that the government cannot hand them over to waqf
board just by de-notifying it. Out of 123 properties, 61 are in possession of urban development ministry
while rest of them is in possession of the DDA. When the matter was taken up in the meeting of Central
Waqf Board, the then minister responsible for waqf properties Salman Khurshid informed that the
matter would be sorted out soon. The high court instructed the government to short them out earliest
possible. A committee was constituted in this regard by the minority affairs ministry in which
members from the Central Waqf Board were also included. The committee recommended that the
government must hand over these properties to the Delhi Waqf Board. This recommendation was also
approved by the then Attorney General Ghulam Ahmed Vahanvati. This is to recall that after a
campaign run by the Muslim organizations in 1984 the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi had
India Policy Foundation � February 16, 2015 - March 15, 2015 �5
instructed that these immovable properties should be handed over to the waqf board. The VHP got
stay from the court protesting the decision. The matter continued in the court for 27 years but in 2011
the high court vacated the stay instructing the government to make a policy on these properties and
must get free such properties from illegal occupation. These government properties are spread across
in Connaught Place, Mathura Road, Lodhi Road, Ashok Road, Janpath, Parliament, Karol Bagh, Sadar
Bajar, Daryaganj and Jangpura.
III
No increase in Haj quota for India
Roznama Rashtriya Sahara on February 5 reported that Saudi Arabia refused to increase the quota of
India for haj pilgrims. This year also the Saudi Arabia government allowed only 1.36 lakh haj pilgrims
to observe Haj. A pact was signed between Union minister of state for External Affairs and Haj minister
of Saudi Arabia Bander Bin Hajar. Under this pact one lakh hajis are sent through Haj Committee while
36 thousand are sent through private tour operators. This is to recall that between 2012 and 2013, Haj
quota for India was 1.70 lakhs and after that reduction in quota started. The Saudi Arabia government
gave clarification that since expansion of Kaba was underway therefore 20 per cent reduction in the
number of hajies was enforced for every country.
Roznama Rashtriya Sahara on February 4 reported that every embassy has been instructed that it
must not open Haj mission office. According to sources in Saudi Arabia government, such offices
indulge in extortion of Hajies. Several Islamic countries have opened Haj Mission in Mecca, Madina
and Jeddah therefore the Saudi Arabia government decided to ban them.
IV
According to Roznama Rashtriya Sahara (February 5), education department of Rajasthan made
Surya Namaskar, yoga and meditation compulsory for the 1.25 lakh schools. After 20 minets of prayers
in the school, students would have to participate in Surya Namaskar and yoga. Muslim organizations
opposed this government decision. General Secretary of Jamiat Ulama e Hind Mehmood Madni said
that Muslims would not accept Surya Namaskar at any cost because this was against Islam. The
decision of the Rajasthan Government was against the Constitution and the Supreme Court ruling. He
claimed that the Sun was considered as deity in Hindu religion and was worshipped while as per Islam
it was not allowed to bow before anyone except Allah. He said that if the Rajasthan government did not
withdraw it, Muslims would go to court. He alleged that Narendra Modi claimed Sabka Saath, Sabka

Vikad before the Lok Sabha elections but now Hindu customs were being imposed on Muslims.
Muslims would not tolerate it.
On the other hand education minister of the state said that yoga and Surya Namaskar did not have
anything to do with religion. They are an attempt to keep students healthy. Secretary of Muslim
Mahasabha Yunush Chobdar said, “The decision of the Rajasthan government was interference into
the matters of Muslims therefore we would oppose it vehemently.” State president of Jamate Islami
Khurshid Ahmed said, 'This was an unnecessary interference into the religious matter of Muslims. We
would complain against it in the minority commission.”
V
Foreigner arrested from madarsa
According to Munsif (February 1), the police arrested 40 foreigners from Hyderabad by raiding
madarsa. They were living there illegally. They belonged to the different parts of Africa and getting
Islamic education from different Islamic madarsa. As per the police, they were arrested from Alahsat
colony and Yusuf Tekri colony. Out of 40 students, visa of 10 students expired while 30 did not even
have any visa or passport. Arrested students belonged to Somalia, Namibia and Sudan. Spokesperson
of the police said that they were arrested after the intelligence input. He said that the police got this
information that in an Islamic madarsa of the city big numbers of people were living without visa and
passport. The government also started search operation in other parts of the state.

AIMIM spreads its wings in Uttar Pradesh
Sahafat on February 13 reported that All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslemin intensified its preparation to
contest 2017 Assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh. The party claimed to have made 1 lakh new
members in Uttar Pradesh. MLA from Char Minar area of Hyderabad Ahmed Pasha Qadri informed
about this online membership by saying that Dalits and Muslims were disillusioned with the BSP and
the SP so people were joining the new party. Convener of the party Saukat Ali said that AIMIM build its
organizational structure in 49 districts of the state while the work for setting up booth level committees
were on in 15 districts. Saukat Ali said that the Samajwadi Party did not want AIMIM to eat into its
Muslim votes so it did not allow national president of AIMIM Asaduddin Owaisi to hold a rally in
Azamgarh. Workers of the AIMIM were being threatened and frightened. But the SP would not
succeed in its design.

A cow loving Muslim family
According to Sahafat (February 2), there is a cow loving Muslim family in the Beed district of
Maharashtra. This family has 165 cows and calves. Interesting thing is that this butcher family neither
kills cow nor sells cow meat. The family of Shabir is busy serving cows day and night. The family
started rearing cows from 1970s when he saw a butcher taking two cows to slaughter house to kill
them. He bought them and kept them with him. After two years he bought 10 more cows from
butchers. Looking at their affection for cows, farmers from the area hand over their old cows to this
family. The family sells cow dung to the farmers of the area which is used as manure for their fields. 55-
year-old Shabir of Bandi village of Beed district told reporters that he did not sell milk rather allows
cows to feed their calves. He considers these cows as part of his family and when any cow or calf dies it
feels like a family member had died. He sells cows and bulls to farmers at a very reasonable prize but
seeks assurance from them that if cow stops giving mild and bull grows old, don't sell them to butcher
rather hand them over to him. He accepts that it becomes difficult to manage fodder during drought.
Last year three animals died due to lack of fodder and this always haunts him. He said that earnings
from selling cow dung were enough for his family to meet daily expanses.

Tablighi Jamaat involved in mass productionof Jihadies
Over a year old ongoing cold war between the two groups of Tablighi Jamaat that prepares jihadi is
now out in the open. Inquilab on February 1 published a five-column news report very prominently.
The newspaper reported that hundreds of people from Mewat region caused ruckus in Tablighi office.
According to the newspaper, after the death of chief of Jamat Maulana Juber Kandhalvi, the
organization was divided in two
groups. One group wanted to make
Maulana Sadat its chief while the other
group wanted to make son of the late
chief of Jamat Maulana Jaheer as its
chief. Just to avoid the dispute, a
committee was set up in which leaders
from both the groups were included.
Newspaper reported that hundreds of
supporters of Maulana Jahid Mewati,
who put his strength behind Maulana
Sadat, attacked and beaten up
Maulana Jahir. After this incidence
huge number of people from the
Nizamuddin Basti gathered and tried to make people from both the sides to understand. Over a dozen
of people got injured in this scuffle. It is said that attackers were led by MLA from Nooh of the Mewat
region Zakir Hussain, former MLA Aftab Ahmed, MLA from Firozpur Jharka Memon Khan and
another former MLA Mohammad Ilyas. One of the leaders of the attackers Maulan Zahid said, “Since
supporters of Maulana Jahir were opposing Maulana Sadat, so we want to drive away Maulana Jahir.
We cannot tolerate any protest against our leader.”
Roznama Rashtriya Sahara on February 1 reported this news very prominently and claimed that
supporters of Maulana Sadat entered into the room of deputy chief of Tablighi Mission and beaten up
Maulana Jahir. Though the police was present there but they did not interfere into the matter.
However, not a single office bearer of Tablighi Jamaat was ready to speak. According to Sahafat
(February 5), Maulana Sadat's group organized a big gathering in Delhi in which Maulana Jahir's
group did not participate.
According to American intelligence agency FBI, Tablighi Jamaat is an organization preparing Jihadi
network across the globe. The organization has its branches in 159 countries and has followers to the
Tablighi Jamaat in terrorist activity

tune of 20-30 crores. In the last five decades, over 25 crore people have been converted to Islam due to
the efforts made by Tablighi Jamaat. These new Muslims are mostly from Europe, America, Africa and
Asia. According to FBI, this is the biggest organization that prepares jihadi across the globe. Terrorists
prepared by this organization are later recruited in over three dozen organizations including Al Qaida,
Boko Haram, Al Ansar and Taliban. FBI expressed its concern in the report that influence of this
organization was increasing in Europe and America by the day. The report also says that the most
dangerous organization for the peace of the world work silently and away from the media glares. So
the activity of this organizations and people working for this organization largely remains unnoticed
by the intelligence agencies.
British Newspaper Security Weekly on January 23, 2008 published a report by the two investigative
journalists Fred Burton and Scott Stewart in which it was claimed that Spain police arrested 14 terrorist
by raiding a mosque on January 19, 2015 in Barcelona. Huge cachet of arms and ammunition were
recovered from them. Minister of Spain Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba told reporters that arrested people
have relation with Islamic terrorist organization Tablighi Jamaat. Out of total 14 people arrested from
the mosque, 12 were Pakistani, one was Indian and one was Bangladeshi. The same newspaper also
claimed that seven terrorists related to Tablighi Jamaat were arrested in October 2002 in Portland in the
US. In September 2002, six people were arrested in Lakwana for terror related cases. Jamat was also
found indulged in the conspiracy to blow up a plane that was supposed to fly from London to US in
2006. Jamat was also held responsible for the bomb blast in London Metro on July 7, 2007. Scotland
Yard confirmed that there was the hand of this organization in bomb blasts in London and Glasgo in
July 2007.
A few people and media are aware that this deadly
organisation's headquarters is in a mosque of in the
Nijamuddin area of Delhi. Arya Samaj started
Sudhdhi Campaign to bring back such people to
Hindu fold who were forcefully converted to Islam.
This movement was led by the main saint of Arya
Samaj Swami Shradhdhanand and the campaign was
started from the Mewat region that is close to Delhi.
Muslims living in this region are called Meo who were
forcefully converted to Islam by the Muslim ruler of
Delhi Ghiyas ud din Balban. Interesting thing is that
over 1000 years have passed but these Rajput Muslims
were unable to detach themselves from the Hindu
culture, customs and religion. Diwan of Alver state
Major Powlet wrote in the gazette of the state (1878)
that though every Mao is Muslim but they are
Muslims for the name sake. They still have great

impact of Hindu religion and culture on them. They even have names like Krishna Singh, Bishan Singh,
Ram Singh, Hanuman Singh, Shiv Pratap Singh and their women have names like Rajkanwar,
Ramkanwar ans Shyamkanwar. Despite being Muslims, they openly worship Hindu gods and
goddesses. They celebrate Hindu festivals and regularly visit temples and do idol worship. Holi and
Ramnavmi are their main festivals. Most of them neither offer namaj nor go to mosque. They don't even
know Kalma and Quran. They don't even marry their girls into the same gotra and like Muslims they
don't marry their daughters and sons to close relatives. Marriage ceremony is generally performed by
Hindu priest. Besides that they openly observe some Rajput rituals openly and they don't eat cow
meat.
Sudhdhi campaign majorly impacted
Maos and hundreds of Maos became
Hindus again relinquishing Islam.
With the attempt made by Arya Samaj
people from Rajasthan, Maharashtra
and Gujarat forcefully converted to
Islam were brought back to Hindu fold.
This was not liked by the radical
Muslims. One fanatical Muslim Abdul
Rashid killed Swami Shradhanand in
his ashram in Naya Bajar area of Delhi
in 1926 by stabbing him. Sitaram Goal
in his book 'Muslim Separatism' held Tablighi Jamaat responsible for it. Goal alleged in his book that in
the riots that occurred in 1992 several temples were set on fire in Mewat region that was also
handiwork of Tablighi Jamaat. Mumtaz Ahmed in his book Muslim Fanaticism in South Asia
expressed his opinion that Tablighi Jamaat had its hands in inciting riots. Sahil Mayaram in his book
'Resisting Racism' expressed his opinion that terrorist background of Tablighi Jamaat is linked to the
Wahabi movement of Syed Ahmed Barelwi and Firazi Movement of Shariyat Ullah. It is also alleged in
the book that for the Tablighi movement to start in India, Maulana Ilyas got huge financial assistance
from the foreign source.
In reaction to the Sudhdhi movement of Arya Samaj, resident of
Kandhla in Uttar Pradesh Maulana Mohammad Ilyasi started Tablighi
Jamaat in 1926 from Masjid Banglewala in the Nizamuddin area of
Delhi with the financial assistance of the foreign countries. Maulana
Ilyas is associated with the Sunni sect of Islam and belongs to Deoband
school of Islam. He also has relations with Wahabi and Salafi sects of
Islam. He got Islamic religious education from Darul Uloom,
Deoband. He used to teach at Majar ul Uloom situated in Saharanpur
district of Uttar Pradesh. He gave a new slogan to Muslims – Muslims!
Become Muslims! After that his entire emphasis was on to stop

Sudhdhi Movement and to inculcate and expand Wahabi and Jihadi ideology among Muslims. His
entire family was associated with the Jihad and terrorist ideology from the very beginning. Exponent
of the movement was famous Jihadi of 16th century, Maulana Mujahiduddin Sarhindi. Several jihadis
were born out of this tradition. Teacher of Maulana Ilyas was Rashid Ahmed Gogoi, who was
associated with founder of Darul Uloom, Deoband, Maulana Qasim Navatnavi. In 1946, the group
spread its wings in several countries of the world. After the partition of the country Pakistani Tablighi
Jamaat was set up in Raybind near Lahore. In 1949 another centre was started in Dhaka. In two
decades, this organization has spread its wings in Asia, Africa, Europe and America. Its office in
England was started in Dewsbury in 1978. This was the centre from where all the activities of Tablighi
Jamaat of Europe were being run. American headquarters of the Tablighi Jamaat is in New York. There
are over 11 thousand mosques of Tablighi Jamaat in America and Europe. Tablighi Jamaat started
expanding its operations in the Muslim dominated areas of Soviet Russia but looking at its dangerous
activities Kyrgyzstan government banned it. Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan banned it
earlier.
After the death of Mohammad Ilyas reins of the organisation have passed on to his son Maulana
Mohammad Yusuf and after the death of Yusuf his son Maulana Inamul Hussain was made chief of the
organisation who died in March 2014. But anointment of his son Maulana Jahirul Hasan as chief of the
party was being opposed by certain section and a committee of seven members was constituted to look
into the affairs of the Tablighi Jamaat.
How does Tablighi Jamaat work is still a secret? No one knows that how this international organization
is being coordinated. From where this organization gets money to manages its affairs? Intelligence
agencies from across the world tried to unravel secrets of this mysterious organization but they failed
to achieve anything. But the organization has been managing big gatherings in different parts of the
country in which over 35 to 40 lakh people participated. These programmes are organized for one to
two weeks. No one knows the source of that uncounted money spent on these programmes. As far as
India is concerned, only last year 33 big
functions were organized in which
number of Muslims participants were
estimated at 10 lakh to 25 lakhs. Such
programmes were also organized in other
countries. Last year in Dhaka, an
international conference was organized
in which it was claimed that 40 lakh
people participated. This year a
conference at Rawalpindi had the
gathering of 25 lakh people and similar
conferences are organized in European
and African countries. Media is kept out

of these conferences and it is claimed that these conferences are purely for expansion of Islam.
However, Jihad and terrorism has been part of the religion from the very beginning.
As per sources in Jamat, expansion of Islam and inclusion of non-Muslims to Islam was being done in a
planned manner. Mosques spreading across the world are testimony to it where after Friday prayer, a
sermon is given emphasizing the fact that every Muslim must give at least one month in a year for the
expansion of Islam. It is expected from every Muslim that he must live for a month in a mosque. It is the
responsibility of the local Muslims to take care of their food and other needs. Arrangements are made
for everybody willing to take Tablighi training at Muslim household as guests. Imam and Ulama give
sermon from morning to night in which threat posed to Islam is told to them and it is also told them that
Muslims and Islam are in danger. If Muslims did not realize, the very existence of Muslims and Islam
would be over. Besides this expansion of Islamic Rule across the world is presented in a glorified
manner so it could be sinked into their minds. It is also propagated in special meetings about non-
believers campaign to finish off Islam and torture of Muslims. These sessions are of purely
brainwashing, it is emphasized that to save Islam and to restore its past glory, it is the duty of every
Muslims to take swords for jihad. The person who causes confusion over this matter defies orders of
Prophet Mohammad and is not a true Muslim but an infidel. It is also taught in these meetings that it is
their pious duty to convert non-Muslims to Islam. If they want to go to heaven, it is their responsibility
to convert at least 10 non-Muslims to Islam. Otherwise when the last day Allah will ask that why you
did not try to bring non-Muslims to Islam you would have no answer and you would be thrown in hell
for ever.
People would be surprised to know that personalities associated with Tablighi Jamaat included former
President of India Dr Zakir Hussain, Maulana Mohammad Ali and Saukat Ali, president All India
Congress Committee Dr Mukhtar Ahmed Ansari, founder of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen
Navab Bahadur Yar Jung, founder of Jamate Islami Maulana Abul Hasan Madudi, Sheikhul Islam,
Maulana Muhammad Hussain, Dr Mohammad Iqbal, Sheikh Abdullah, Mirwaiz Yousuf Shah,
President of Muslim League Muhammad Ismail and Muslim thinker Maulana Wahiduddinn Khan.
Besides these people, former president of Pakistan Zia ul Haque, former chief minister of Pakistani
Punjab Pervez Ilahi gave 75 canal of land to Tablighi Jamaat in 2011 to set a centre in Raiwind. Several
chiefs of Pakistani intelligence agencies General Javed Nasir, General Mehmood Ahmed, Pakistani
cricketer Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Yusuf, Saqlain Mustaq, Inzamam-ul Haque, Mustaq Ahmed,
Saed Anwar, Waqar Yunus are some of the important people. It is said that there was hands of Tablighi
Jamaat in converting Mohammad Yusuf to Islam from Christianity. Interesting thing is that famous
terrorist Hafiz Mohammad Sayeed is also associated with this organization only.

Sahafat on February 15 reported that protests organized in Turkey against introduction of Islamic
education in schools intensified. Students boycotted schools. Police arrested several people protesting
against the government. The police lathicharged on people protesting against the government decision
at Asmer and Ankara. After pro-Islamic people coming to power in Turkey, Islamic education was
resumed in schools of the country after 90 years. Boys and girls would be given Islamic education
separately which has been made compulsory. As per the government spokesperson, arrangements
were made to give Islamic education to 10 lakh students. This is to recall that in 1924, Kamal Ataturk
banned Islamic education in schools. Besides this he banned education of Arabic and Persian and Turkish
language was taught in Roman script instead of Arabic. Last year after pro-Islam political parties came to
powereducationof Islamwasonceagainstarted inschools.This isbeing opposedby secularists.
According to Azizulhind (February 15), a Christian Padre Azmat Goviz opposed that her daughter
was being forced Islamic education in the school. On the contrary school managers are saying that
Islamic education has been made compulsory in the country by the pro-Islamic government ever since
it has come to power. It has been made compulsory for girls to wear scarf in the school. The Turkish
government has decided to implement Islamic culture across the country. Alawi Sect also alleged that
Islamic education is forcefully thrust on minorities that would not be tolerated.

Muslim missionary arrested in Norway
According to Urdu Times (February 4), a court in Norway decided to expel a Muslim extremist Imam
of Iraqi origin from the country. According to the newspaper, Mullah Majimuddin Farah Ahmed
started an extremist Muslim organization Ansar ul Islam in 1991. This organization is alleged to be
encouraging terrorism is Europe. The organizations threatened to kill Norwegian prime minister and
several other leaders. For this a court ruled him three years imprisonment around three years ago but
he was released after two years and 10 months. The police in its report also claimed that Imam was
inciting terrorism in the state. He was made house arrest in his village. This Imam got education from a
madarsa in Pakistan and had gone to Iraq and there he started spreading Islamic terrorism. He was
sentenced to death during Saddam Hussain's regime but he escaped and reached Norway. The court
ordered house arrest to him in a small village and instruction was given that he must not step out of the
village. The local police had to report every day. Now, another court ruled to throw him out of the
country which was challenged by him in another court.

spokespersons of the party said that the way number of Muslims were growing in Europe it was very
dangerous. The spokesperson said that most of the Muslims were associated with terrorist
organization. So it is very necessary to ban Muslims entering Europe to save it.

Corruption allegation 170 MPs of Iran
Urdu Times on January 31 reported that former vice president of Iran Mohammad Raja Rahimi
claimed that 170 MPs of Iran are involved in corruption cases. This is to recall that Rahimi was recently
sentenced five years in jail for corruption charges. He was also fined billions of dollars. Rahimi alleged
that during the government of former President Mehmood Ahmed Narsad, his 200 supporter MPs
India Policy Foundation � February 16, 2015 - March 15, 2015 �17
misappropriated billions of dollars but he was trying to save these MPs. He alleged that some other
MPs submitted memorandums to start an investigation against these corrupt MPs hurdles were being
created in signing on the memorandum to start investigation. They demanded from the Speaker of
Parliament of Iran Ali La Rijani that corruption of vice president is exposed and investigation against
20 important officials in the old government is on and they have been arrested but corrupt MPs are still
spared. Speaker must take immediate action against these MPs so corruption can be uprooted from
Iran.
IX
Campaign against terrorism in Bangladesh
According to Munsif (February 7), The Bangladesh government banned violent protests in the country
and threatened that if anyone indulges in violent activities he/she would be given death sentence. This
is to recall that over 67 people have been killed in the violent activities in Bangladesh. Leader of
Opposition Khaleda Zia declared that she would continue protesting and was ready for any
eventuality. The Bangladesh government announced through the government channel that if anyone
tried to set a person or good on fire, he would be given death sentence. According to the newspaper,
this anti-government protest by the opposition parties were continuing from a months and it is
intensifying.

Criticizing Democracy
Dawat on February 7 claimed that since majority population in the country is of Hindus therefore India
is a Hindu nation for all practical purposes. The newspaper in special editorial claimed that on
secularism and Hindu-nation debate some people have their take that on ground India has always
been a Hindu nation and even today the situation is the same. Therefore words like secularism and
socialism must be removed from Constitution. Such demands were raised from the political parties of
the ruling camp like Shiv Sena. Shiv Sena justified the removal of these two words in the Republic Day
advertisements. Union minister Ravi Shanker Prasad said that in the Constituent Assembly debate
these words were not there. These two words were included after the emergency in 1976 while
information and broadcasting ministry said that it was a mistake that these two words were missing in
the advertisement.
Shiv Sena and other sections claimed that India has always been a Hindu Nation. It might not be liked
by a big section of people in the country but it is a bitter truth. There is no certificate required for it as 67
years of independence are testimony to it. Makers of the constitution declared the country as
democratic republic in which every citizen has equal right without and religious, racial and other
differences but by providing right to one vote to one person made it clear who will prevail. In the
present system majority dominance is democracy while in reality democracy is authoritarianism of
majority community. This is approved across the world. Another argument is given that partition of
Indian subcontinent was done on religious ground and followers of a particular religion were given a
separate nation so there must be dominance of the majority community in this nation. This was even in
the hearts of the Congress leaders. But they were unable to call it a Hindu nation because entire
freedom struggle was run on democratic principal and Hindu-Muslim unity. They were also aware
that in independent India every decision would be a majority decision that means minority people
would be second-grade citizen. Still the country would be projected as the democratic state in the
world. The Congress and Hindu Mahasabha did not make Pakistan like this. They knew that
undivided India would not be able to dominate due to big population of Muslims so it was better to
divide the country. As far as inclusion of secularism after emergency was concerned, it did not matter
at all. Babri mosque was declared temple and its lock was later on opened and building was also
demolished. Who does not know riots in Gujarat in 2002 ? In the name of terrorism arrest of Muslim
youths is continuing. Makers of the constitution declared second largest religious community as
minority to cause inferiority complex among them. The way Dalits are given reservation in
government jobs to cause inferiority among them forever. So there is no need to get hurt from words of
Shiv Sena. The only concern is to look into the matter that how such situation emerged and how this
could be improved.
India Policy Foundation � February 16, 2015 - March 15, 2015 �18
India Policy Foundation � February 16, 2015 - March 15, 2015 �19
Dawat in an editorial on February 10 alleged that the way secularism and socialism was removed in the
government advertisement and in Rajya Sabha colander tells the agenda of the government. The BJP
must understand that coming to power does not at all mean it can do anything and everything. The
government will have to function as per the Constitution. Removing secularism and socialism from
colander and advertisement is not a small thing as everyone knows that the BJP and its supporters are
not in support of socialism and secularism. They always talk about Hindutva and Hindu nation. It does
not mean that after coming to power they would present constitution as per their whims. The word
secularism was not included in the constitution without any purpose rather a message was given by
this that people from different faith live in this country. They have every religious freedom. The
government does not have any religion and it does not make any decision considering religion, caste,
sex and race in mind. On one hand slogan is chanted Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas on the other hand it is
removing such thing from the Constitution that takes everybody along.

New Shah of Saudi Arabia removed many
pro-US people
According to Munsif (February 4), the new king of Saudi Arabia Shah Salman has made major
administrative reshuffle in the administration. Some of the relatives of the dead king and pro-US
officials have been removed from the important position. According to the newspaper, new people
have been appointed at 31 important positions. Old people have been sidelined from the important
positions and youths have preferred over them. There are around 4000 people in the royal family and
conspiracy against each other is a normal thing. The new king gave an indication for the new oil policy
in the country. The way influence of radical element is increasing in Iran, Syria, Bahrain, Yemen and
Iraq, the new king has to tread very cautiously. The last kind had already announced to build a 650
kilometer long wall in any eventuality of war with the ISIS. The new king and his deputy crown prince
Mohammad bin Mohammad bin Salman are ardent supporters of Pakistan and this was the reason that
the moment new king took over, Army chief of Pakistan and ISI chief visited Saudi Arabia. The new
king of Saudi Arabia awarded them with the highest honor of the country. The new king made his 35-
year-old son Mohammad Bin Salman in charge of defense ministry. The son of dead king was removed
from the intelligence department. He is considered to be supporter of pro-US people like Bandarban
Sultan and Mohammad bin Zaid. General Khalid al bin Abdulla Abdul Hamid has been made in
charge of intelligence department. Fahid Samri has been appointment advisor of the king.
The new king dissolved 12 committees while two new institutions Economic Development Council
and Security Council were constituted. Western newspapers claimed that the new kind does not keep
well and he suffers from amnesia. Besides that he had undergone a surgery in his backbone.
Munsif on February 6 claimed that differences between Saudi Arabia and Iran came to fore when
foreign minister of Iran Mohammad Javad Zarif participated in the funeral of Shah at Riyad while
India Policy Foundation � February 16, 2015 - March 15, 2015 �20
chairman of the Constituent Assembly of Iran Ayatollah Jannati criticized Shah after his death. Famous
thinker of Iran Dr Zeba Kalam said that Shia-Sunni divide was increasing by the day. Armed clash
between Shia and Sunni in Arabic world was continuing. Saudi Arab announced jihad against Shia
community. They alleged some of the leaders of Iran that they were inciting bother Iran and Saudi
Arabia which was not in the interest of Islam. This is to recall that another thinker of Saudi Arabia Dr
Imanat Jhanti alleged that armed forces are employed to crush Shia people's movement in Saudi
Arabia, Iran and Bahrain.

Girl arrested for Participating in ISIS jihad
Siyasat on February 1 reported that Islamic Caliphate is getting popular by the day in Andhra Pradesh.
In the past two months at least 42 young girls and boys fled their homes to participate in jihad started
by ISIS. Some of them were arrested by the intelligence agencies from airports but many people have
already reached Iraq to participate in jihad. Recently an engineer Salman Mayuddin was arrested from
the airport when he was about to fly for Iraq. A girl was arrested after returning to India from Iraq as
she had gone to Iraq to participate in jihad. It is said that the girl was living in Dubai and from there she
went to Iraq to participate in jihad for the New Caliphate. But very soon she was disillusioned and she
escaped from there to reach Syria and contacted her family members in Hyderabad. Family members
encouraged her to come back to India but as soon as the police got the information, she was arrested
and being quizzed. A police official in Hyderabad confirmed arrest of these people but refused to
divulge any other detail. The official said that people coming from Iraq are being quizzed and
providing information to media at this juncture is not possible.
According to Siyasat (February 1), the Turkey government sent nine people back who reached there
from Bangalore. These people reached there as tourists and were trying to sneak into Syria. People
arrested from there belonged to Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The police believe that
they were trying to join jihadies of Islamic Caliphate
IV
Akhbar Mashrikh on February 11 reported attributing the decision of the Supreme Court that if the
government does not allow any government official to marry twice, it is not against the constitution.
The SC ruled that the law made by the Uttar Pradesh government says that before second marriage the
official must take permission from the government that does not violate Section 25 of the Constitution.
Ban of second marriage not unconstitutional
India Policy Foundation � February 16, 2015 - March 15, 2015 �21
An official in the agriculture department in Uttar Pradesh filed a petition in the SC saying that Muslims
are allowed for four marriages. This official was terminated from the government job for bigamy. He
filed a petition in Allahabad High Court that ruled the government decision correct. The appeal at the
SC under Justice T S Thakar and Justic Aadarsh Kumar Goal upheld the Allahabad HC decision. The
SC ruled that polygamy is not allowed under Section 25 of the Constitution. The petitioner did not
divorce his first wife before marrying the second moreover he did not take ever permission before
marrying the second time. So he violated the law of the land and his termination is justified.
V
Doors of Parliament closed for Pervez Musharraf
Roznama Rashtriya Sahara on February 16 reported that Sindh High Court ruled that former
President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf cannot become member of Pakistan Parliament. The High
Court ruled that as a President he violated rules of Constitution, arrested judges and misused his
powers. This is to recall that in the last elections Musharraf filed his nominations from Karachi which
was rejected. Musharraf appealed this matter in the high court which was turned down by the court
but the detailed ruling was pronounced after 22 months. The HC ruled in its verdict that decision taken
by Musarraf has hurt image of the country. The court ruled that Musharraf tried to capture power of
the country. Case must be filed against him for violating the Constitution.

included Arman Ahmed, Abidurahman, Amana Nasrin and Firoza Khanam. Head of the department
of Arabic department of BHU Prof Nasrina Farooqi said that this was for the first time that students of

Malicious campaign against unity and
integrity of India
A Delhi-based Urdu daily Zadeed Indino (October 27) published a
write up with the headline - Kashmiries await independence from
past 67 years. Its second headline was - 67 years of illegal
occupation of India on Kashmir. Editor of this newspaper is A M
Asif. This newspaper is published from Jaipur, Patna, Lucknow,
Saharanpur, Mumbai and West Bengal besides Delhi. This is very
strange that the newspaper is only openly indulged in anti-
national talk and still getting big amount of central government's
advertisements. Sad thing is that its editor has been given security
cover by the Union home ministry. This puts a question mark on
the functioning of Union home ministry and Union information
and broadcasting ministry. Why the government is so indecisive?
The newspaper wrote in an article that October 27 is that black day
when India snatched freedom from Kashmiries and captured it in
the night. Every year Kashmiries from both sides of the border and
people living across the world observe October 27 as black day to attract attention of United Nations
and people across the world to remind illegal occupation of Kashmir by India. After partition of the
country, Indian Army entered into Srinagar and forcefully captured the city without considering the
sentiment of its people. Jammu and Kashmir was never part of India. When the subcontinent was
partitioned in 1947 and India and Pakistan became two nations that time Indian Army forcefully
captured Kashmir with the help of Army. India is occupying Kashmir with the help of Army. No one
denies about the dispute over this state. Freedom loving people of Kashmir are fighting a just battle
that is their fundamental right. They are fighting for self determination and they cannot give up their
right out of fear due to threat from the Indian government. Kashmiri people have given big sacrifices
for the freedom of Kashmir and there are promises made by the United Nations and Indian
government for Kashmiries on International arenas. Army is deployed at every nook and cranny of
Kashmir and despite atrocities of Army; they are fighting for their freedom.
The newspaper wrote that in the Kashmir dispute, Pakistan is also one of the parties. Indian nation is
using indiscriminate military power to crush them resulting into killing of over 5 lakh Kashmiries till
date. Lakhs are injured, thousands are widowed and similar number of people is orphaned.
Thousands of women were raped and this unfortunate and bloody government terror was continuing.
Spitting venom further, the newspaper wrote that India has been suppressing Kashmiries in the past 67

Rohingya Muslim terrorists' infiltration bid a
security threat
National Investigating Agency arrested a Rohingya Muslim
Khalid Mohammad from Hyderabad in Bardhaman blast case.
Khalid Mohammad accepted that Pakistani intelligence agency
ISI was giving training to Rohingya Muslims at secret
destinations. He also revealed that Rohingya Muslims living in
different parts of India have been sent to Myanmar for training.
Inquilab on November 16 revealed that in the Muslim-majority
areas of Myanmar around 12000 Muslims started off a journey to
Malaysia on boats but they did not reach Malaysia rather lost in
the sea. Intelligence sources are speculating that these Rohingya
Muslims might infiltrate into India or Bangladesh illegally.
This is to recall that Rohingya Muslims are problem for several
South Asian countries. Myanmar claimed that these Muslims are
not its citizen and they sneaked into the country from Bangladesh.
There were bloody clashes between Rohingya Muslims and
Budhdhists in Myanmar from the past four years in which thousands have been killed. The Bangladesh
government has been saying that Rohangia Muslims are not its citizen therefore they cannot be
allowed to intrude into the country. According to the Home ministry sources, thousands of Rohingya
Muslims are illegally living in India. They are living in Jammu and Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh,
Maharashtra, Telengana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. Around two years ago
hundreds of Rohingya Muslims reached Delhi and made shanties in the Vasant Kunj area occupying
historical monuments. The government drove them out with very difficultly. They are still illegally
living in the Okhla area of Delhi. Muslim organizations are making them available food and other
things. According to intelligence agencies, some of these Rohingya Muslims are linked to Pakistan and
Pakistani intelligence agency ISI is using them to cause unrest in India by pushing counterfeit currency
in the market. Recently a Rohingya Muslim was arrested by the intelligence sleuths in Bardhaman
blasts case, who is alleged to be associated with terrorist organization Harkat ul Jihad Islami. Security

Ulama threaten to take arms against government
Siyasat on December 15, 2014 claimed in a news report on the
front page that religious leaders of the Muslim community
threatened that if converting Muslims to Hinduism has not
immediately been stopped then Muslims might take up arms
against chief minister Akhilesh Yadav and Prime Minister
Narendra Modi. They said in Moradabad that Muslims were
not afraid of anyone and they would do everything to save their
existence. While addressing the gathering organized by Babri
Action Committee, Maulana Salim Ahmed said that Muslims
would not tolerate that their religion was targeted. Muslims
were not afraid of any one and would not hesitate resort to
taking up arms. We would unite to strengthen ourselves. We
would make an Army to attack Assembly and Parliament to
teach a lesson to MPs and MLAs. We could arrange arm and
ammunition of every form. We could change the fate of the
nation and we must not be forced to take up arms. This is not
proper on part of the PM and the CM to keep silent on this issue.
More than 2000 people were present on the occasion. Senior police and administrative officials were
present on the occasion but no action has been taken against these people so far. When media took up
their speeches in news reports then the police woke up from slumber.

elements. Addressing the media at the Hyderabad-based
headquarters of AIMIM Darul Islam (House of Islam), Owaisi
said that Islam was the oldest religion so such Sangh leaders
who wanted Ghar Wapsi, they must come to Islamic fold
leaving Hinduism.
In an interview to the English magazine Frontline, he alleged
that Sangh Pariwar was thrusting Hindutva on the country.
As far as development was concerned that was a mask to hide
dangerous intentions of the Sangh Pariwar. He answered
another question that between 1961 and 2001 the population
of Hindus declined by 3.1 per cent while Muslim population
increased by 2.7 per cent. He claimed that the declining
population is not due to conversion but due to several other
reasons. He said that if Christian missionaries were getting
money from the foreign sources for conversion then why the
government was allowing these missionaries to get foreign
funds at first place. He claimed that anti-conversion laws in the five states of the country - Orissa,
Madhya Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat - are against the norms of Indian
constitution. These laws are against the provision of equality because as per this law if anyone wants to
become Muslim or Christian he/she will have to seek the state government's permission. He said that
the party was planning to expand its base in West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh. The secular face of the
Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh was exposed due to the recent incidents while the way madarsas in
West Bengal were being targeted after Bardhaman blasts, Muslims were disillusioned with the
Trinamool Congress. The party wanted to take benefit out of the situation. Owaisi is trying to expand
base of his party when he recently opened office of his party in Lucknow.
Owaisi family has been always spreading hatred in the society and getting political mileage out of it.
His grandfather Abdul Wahid Owaisi was sent to jail for spreading hatred between the two
communities and speaking anti-national language. In 1958, he was facing these charges in the court.
Asduddin's father Sulauddin Owaisi was
nothing less than anyone in inciting
communal violence in Andhra Pradesh.
AIMIM was behind several incidents of
communal violence in the state. Around two
years ago, Asaduddin Owaisi ran a campaign
against historical Bhagyalakshmi temple near
Charminar to demolish it. Due to this,
communal violence broke out in Hyderabad
around five times. In 2009, Hyderabad police
had lodged cases of inciting communal
violence against him.Bhagyalakshmi Temple
India Policy Foundation � February 16, 2015 - March 15, 2015 �26
The organization named as AIMIM has a very incriminating
history that is captured by the Owaisi family. This organization
was founded by Nawab Mohammad Nawaz Khan on
instructions of 7th Nizam Osman Ali Khan in 1927 and its aim
was to make Hyderabad an Independent Islamic state with the
help of British Raj. Reign of this organization was passed on to
Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung an associate of Mohammada Ali
Jinna. Nawab Bahadur Yar Jung was national executive member
and treasurer of All India Muslim League. They supported
formation of Pakistan and Jinnah came to Hyderabad on the
invitation of Bahadur Yar Jung in 1939 and met with Nizam. It is
said that Jinnah requested Nizam to announce merger of
Hyderabad with Pakistan but he did not do so because he was
dreaming of becoming emperor of an independent Islamic
nation.
Around this time, a Muslim lawyer from Beed Qasim Rizvi
contacted Nizam Mir Qsman Ali with the help of Nawab
Bahadur Yar Jung. Nizam opened his coffer for Syed Qasim Rizvi and he recruited 1.5 lakh Razakars.
The aim was to protect independent Islamic nation of Hyderabad of Nizam. These Razakars targeted
Hindus of the Hyderabad and adjoining areas, looted, killed and mass raped Hindu women.
In 1947, when India attained independent, Nizam announced independence
instead of merging Hyderabad with India. At that time Qasim Rizvi had made
speeches everyday on Radio Deccan of Nizam against India saying that
Muslim Army of Hyderabad would capture entire India to make it an Islamic
nation. The Caliph and emperor of the new nation would be Sultan Mir Osman
Ali. Nizam with the help of Pakistan sent 65 lakh pounds to Ambassador of
Pakistan in London through a bank in London for purchasing arms and
ammunition that was opposed by India. The money that has increased to 3
crore pounds is still lying in the London bank. Both India and Pakistan are
fighting to claim it.
The party is still loyal to Pakistan and this is the reason that the party claims in
open that India captured Hyderabad by sending its Army and during the operation thousands of
Muslims were killed and thousands of Muslim women were mass raped. Even today the party mourns
September 17 as Yome Syah (mourning day). This is the day when merger of Hyderabad with India
was announced. Is not it the language of Pakistan that Owaisi and his cohorts are speaking?
Qasim Rizvi handed over reins of AIMIM to a Hyderabad-based lawyer Abdul Wahid Owaisi before
leaving for Pakistan. It is said that Owaisi contacted Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru and the government of
India lifted the ban on AIMIM. After the ban was lifted, the AIMIM became active in Hyderabad
politics. It organized Muslims and started instigating them against the government of India. In 2000,
AIMIM leader supported fatwa against Salman Rushdie and Taslima Nasrin in which prize was
Bahadur Yar Jung with Mohammada Ali Jinna
Syed Qasim Rizvi
India Policy Foundation � February 16, 2015 - March 15, 2015 �27
announced for killing these authors. When
Taslima Nasrin had gone to Hyderabad for
the launch of Telugu version of her book in
2007, an attempt was made on her life. The
police arrested three people in this regard
and the case is still on against them in the
court. There was an electoral alliance of the
AIMIM with the Congress, in 2011 a
controversy erupted regarding Asaduddin
Owaisi with Andhra Pradesh chief minister
Kiran Reddy regarding allotment of land.
The AIMIM broke its alliance with the Congress after that incidence. However, the party gave an
excuse that the Andhra Pradesh government was not ready to demolish illegal Bhagyalakshi temple so

Muslim population in Uttarakhand also increased from 11.9 per cent to 13.9 per cent. In southern India,
Kerala is the state where population of Muslims increased maximum.
Commenting on the increasing population of Muslims a Delhi-based weekly newspaper Nai Dunia
(Feb 2 to Feb 8) wrote in the editorial that heavy increase in the Muslim population was due to the
community shunning of the family planning programme among poor Muslim families. With every
baby born in the family, they think a new earning member in included. This thinking still prevails in
villages. The family that has more members will be dominating in the society. Muslims are the most
backward and they lack education therefore they don't believe in family planning. Since Muslims in
Assam and West Bengal are more backward so there population is increasing very fast. This is a trend
across the world that poor have more children while rich have less. If the government wants Muslims
to produce less numbers children, then it must make special provisions for their education and social
uplift. The newspaper said that if population of Assam and West Bengal was increasing so for that the
government was responsible for it that failed to stop infiltration. The number of Hindu population was
decreasing because Hindus were getting education and even Dalits and OBCs were getting better
education and other facilities while Muslims were getting backward by the day. Muslims don't get any
reservation. Besides other thing abortions have been playing a major role in decreasing Hindu
population.
