And what surp...I read the news report in telegraph. And what surprised me was its focus on Muslims . I have often noticed a tendency among "liberal" north indian caste hindus to focus disproportionately on the urban cultured light skinned Muslims whenever the topic of social justice comes up. <br /><br />Muslims are of course disadvantaged but there is absolutely no comparison with the dalits, bc etc. Muslims are largely urban, usually well fed, and have a very good presence in glamour, film and other high visibility industry. Is this done to dilute the focus on dailts ?<br /><br />i dont know whether I am reading too much in to this but this para might help <br /><br />"Prince Birjis Qadar (Wali of Oudh) urges his subjects in a proclamation dated 25th June 1858 that his government respected the right of religion, honour, life and property, in that order, something the British ostensibly didn’t. Then he explains his claim. ‘Everyone follows his own religion (in my domain). And enjoys respect according to their worth and status. Men of high extraction, be they Syed, Sheikh, Mughal or Pathan, among the Mohammedans, or Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaish or Kayasth, among the Hindoos, all these retain the respectability according to their respective ranks. And all persons of a lower order such as a Sweeper, Chamar, Dhanook, or Pasi cannot claim equality with them.’ Prince Birjis Qadar doesn’t stop here. He twists the knife deeper: ‘The honour and respectability of every person of high extraction are considered by (the British) equal to the honour and respectability of the lower orders. Nay, compared with the latter, they treat the former with contempt and disrespect. Wherever they go they hang the respectable persons to death, and at the instance of the chamar, force the attendance of a nawab or a rajah, and subject him to indignity.’ This is the reality the partition discourse tends to overlook. How much was the support of the Ajlaaf Muslims and the Ashraaf Muslims – the lower and upper crusts – to the Muslim League and the Congress respectively?"<br /><br />http://www.dawn.com/wps/wcm/connect/dawn-content-library/dawn/the-newspaper/columnists/jawed-naqvi-jinnah-jaswant-singh-and-fallible-heroes-799Kiranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919542214759721023noreply@blogger.com
