Before Modi lands, landed Guj Muslims shining ad in Patna dailies
By Mumtaz Alam Falahi, TwoCircles.net,
Patna: About 24 hours before Narendra Modi lands in Patna to attend the BJP National Executive meet, the Gujarat Government today published one-page ad in Patna newspapers, claiming Muslims in the land of Modi are prosperous and enjoying better life. The ad seems to be a face saving exercise for Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who is being criticized for getting closer to Gujarat CM Modi.
Modi along with other BJP leaders including L K Advani and BJP president Nitin Gadkari is attending the two-day BJP meet beginning here from June 11. While publicly Nitish and his ruling party JDU have said the BJP meet is the party’s internal affair, the Bihar CM has accorded state guest status to Modi and Advani. Besides, JDU is hosting a dinner party for Modi, Advani and all 250-odd BJP National Executive members at the CM’s official residence. The move has earned Nitish lot of criticism.

Gujarat govt. ad published in Patna dailies on 10 June 2010
The advertisement amid criticism is an effort to mollify the critics of Nitish getting closer to Modi who is an accused in the Gujarat 2002 riots. The inherent meaning of the ad, published in Urdu, Hindi and English dailies a day before the BJP meet, is this: If Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar, is coming closer to his Gujarat counterpart, the Muslims in Bihar should not worry – because Modi is a good person and doing a lot of welfare work for the Muslim community in his state.
The title of the ad is: Muslims in Gujarat enjoy better education, employment opportunities, financial stability, health facilities, infrastructure. It gives, under the heading of Indisputable facts about Muslims in Gujarat, some facts and figures about Muslims’ literacy, education, employment, health and economy.

Gujarat govt. ad published in Patna dailies on 10 June 2010
The ad says 73.5% of Muslims in Gujarat are literate, much higher than the national average (59.1%)and higher than the overall average in Gujarat (69.1%). The Gujarat government further claims that Muslims’ employment in government sector is higher than many states. In Gujarat it is 5.4% but in West Bengal it is just 2.1% and in Delhi 3.2%. The ad did not give data about Bihar. Moreover, Muslims in Gujarat, the ad says, are far ahead of the community members in other states when it comes to bank deposits, access to education and medical facilities and infant mortality rate.
However, the full one-page ad has a picture that can belie the claims. As evidence of Muslims’ progress in Gujarat, the ad carries two pictures wherein Muslim girls and children are shown learning. In one picture small boys and girls are reading a religious book in a madrasa. In another some Muslim girls are learning computer. As the ad is about Muslims’ progress in Gujarat one can expect the pictures are also from the state. But here is the big lie. The picture of young Muslim girls learning computer is not from Gujarat. Neither the girls are Gujarati, nor was the picture shot in Gujarat. In fact, it is a picture of Azamgarh Shibli College girls attending a computer class in the college campus. The picture was shot by this reporter for TwoCircles.net during his visit to Azamgarh in November 2008.
This TCN photo was published in our story on 24 Nov. 2008
The ad has published in various dailies including Roznama Rashtriya Sahara and Pindar (Urdu), Hindustan (Hindi), Times of India and Hindustan Times (English).

Boycott Gujarat goods
Muslims, AWAKE.!! The money you spend everyday for food, clothes, consumables, home appliances, luxuries etc is the money that is used to plan & execute various pogroms all over India by anti-muslim forces to kill, rape & subjugate all Muslims, to humiliate them & to make their life a living hell.
The only way is to boycott goods made by anti-Muslim forces. You should check what you are buying & where it came from before you spend your hard-earned money. A general rule is to avoid the following:
1. Products made in Gujrat ex. Amul
2. Products belonging to companies that support hindutva forces.
3. Companies owned by businessmen who belong to the BJP, sangh parivar or its affiliate organizations.
4. Companies that openly support & encourage Modi as a great leader.
5. Companies that associate themselves with anything that is anti-muslim.
If Muslims start doing this all over India, the economy of Gujrat will definitely be affected & Gujrat will be forced to rethink the benefits of being anti-muslim.
Please spread this message to all Muslims & anti-Modi people & groups.
May Allah reward every person who stands up against the injustice meted out to Muslims in India.
Muslim world boycotted isreal & now they will try gujarat
Hi,
You can give a try. Even the gcc countries had tried to boycott isreal but they buy checkpoint firewall of isreal in a nokia hardware manufactured in usa and sold from usa. So that type of succesful boycot can be done by indian muslims.
But the flip side is that if the gujarati chooose to sack their muslim employess where will they go as the gujarati's are the most enterprenual race in india. Even obama is living with gujarati with strong links with hindu organization, inspite of whatever noise.
My friend, at the end of the day, it is all money. It makes remember the words of d ambani, " i wear a gold and silver chappel, who does not fall for silver will fall for gold"
Humm
Whaterver you have written, makes NO sense. So engage your mind in more constructive activities.
RSS
RSS is not terrorist organization - Terrorists DO NOT help ALL people in natural calamities - IRRESPECTIVE of religion. RSS is NATIONALIST organization. Which believes in 'Akahnd Hindu Rashtra' - Please do not jump off your seats by reading 'hindu' word in the motto. Any person is Hindu if he/she believes in social and cultural values of the motherland - India or Hindustan or Bharat (whatever you call our nation).
The very fact that today muslim population is suffering and backward by in large in most of the parts of India - is proof of lack of government's inactivity and ill will for vote bank politics - Congress fooled us for almost 50 years - and still we DO NOT understand simple math! Allah may help us!
If you indicate the violence against muslims by fundamentalists, then there are equal violent incidents against Hindus by muslims in India - everyone knows it.
Violence is bad - nobody wants it. But we, as Indian are emotional fools, and poverty aggravates violent actions - add bad politics and you will have worst effect on society - equally for any person, Hindu or Muslim.
Let actions prove what RSS is
Reply to Indian; Why had RSS been banned for many times if it was not a terrorist organization? RSS's staunch supporters are people belong to elite brahmanical class(ruling class), which controls everything in India.Whatever the terror acts RSS does, nobody will dare to call it terrorism in fear of the wrath of ruling class.What are the contributions of RSS to Indian society? Let us check one by one 1.RSS played a key role in partition of our country in order to reduce the presence of Muslims in independent India 2.Assasination of Mahatma Gandhi 3.Organizing genocide and riots against unorganised Muslims, Christians, Dalits and Communists since its inception 4.Demolition of Babari Masjid and subsequent killing of Muslims across India 5.Bombing a dozens of Masjids across India 6. Gujarat Genocide and so on. Doesn't RSS deserve the tag of TERRORISM? FYI Christian Science Monitor has already declared RSS/VHP/BD as terror organizations and European Union will put them on Black list as terrorists.Please do not buy cloth for prostitute.
know the truth
its better to talk, or write articles in papers to know the truth. see in india, RSS is the only organisation which doesn't expect any help from the govt. if the tax paid money of many hindus, muslims are offered to go HAJ yatra every-year, at least 800 crores spent for this purpose. MUSLIMS are given prefference with reservation with fee re-imbursement with the hindus money does it happens any where for hindus in the world. can any one ? its only some political misinterpretations just for their survival and some ignorant people follow them.its very childish to think even in these days like this with great information across any system. GO & SEE in the tribal areas RSS workers with great interest and love & effection how they are educating the people and training the people to compete with the world. if this misunderstanding is not cleared no one can help anyone?
Book in one hand, knife in other
"siva kumar" @ 22 July 2010 - 3:01 pm. under title: know the truth
The truth is - yes RSS (Rakhshasa Samaan Sangh) workers are OFCOURSE engaged in rural India - offering rural-folk with a "book" in ONE HAND and "knife" or "bomb" in OTHER HAND.
Concerning your comment about HAJ-Yathra - I wrote umpteen number of times about the "SHAM" Haj Subsidy. I call it "Air India Subsidy". The subsidy is meant for CONTINUED SURVIVAL of "Air-India Maharaja". Mumbai-London-Mumbai airfare is Rs. 6,450/- and India-Jeddah-India airfare (HALF THE DISTANCE - DOUBLE THE COST) is Rs. 11,250. Know the truth.
Thank you.

@ABUHAROON
Dear ABUHAROON, I would be happy to reply you on the points made:
1. RSS played key role in partition? I think/studied that personal ego of Nehru and Jinnah + British policy was the reason for partition.
2. I am fan of Gandhiji - as a freedom fighter. After all these years still Indian congress is not able to prove RSS's role behind his murder! And if we have proof, then why do we have to allow RSS to operate?
3. RSS was banned several times - who banned them? Congress? Its quite expected action from congress. The point is, why every time RSS was allowed to re-operate? Ban RSS like SIMI or LET - if you really have proof.
4. India is ruled by Brahmins? Which world you live in dear friend? Those days are gone. Now its time of reservations and appeasement for minorities, being hindu or muslims. I am not against them - but Nehru himself told us that reservations and appeasement will NOT do any good to Indian society. I believe him.
5. Have you experienced any riot personally? I have. So I know very well what goes in. Its not hindu or muslim issue - its POLITICS. RSS is not political party. Every organization has some 'dirt' - it doesn't mean the whole is dirty.
6. 'Christian Science Monitor' - what is this? who is this? who cares?
....my opinion.
Poverty makes surrogates of Indian women in Gujarat
Poverty makes surrogates of Indian women in Gujarat.
If there is so much of development in Gujrat, then what do u tell about this article.
ANAND, India – Shabnam had dreamed of owning a home for years, but with few prospects for her husband, she followed the lead of many poor women in her town in western India: she signed up to carry a baby for another couple.
At the clinic of Nayna Patel, perhaps India’s best-known “surrogate doctor” who delivered Anand town’s first surrogate baby, more women are signing up to be surrogates, with even nurses and teachers lining up, as their husbands lose their jobs.
“The women who come here usually want the money to buy a home, pay off loans, or for their children’s college education,” said Patel in her small clinic, the walls of which are covered with clippings and pictures of Patel with babies and parents.
A surrogate is generally paid about Rs250, 000-Rs400, 000 ($4,000-$8,000), a huge sum of money in a country where many live on less than $2 a day.
Doctors with a western education, top-notch facilities and lower prices have already made India an attractive destination for procedures ranging from bypass surgery to liposuction.
Lax legislation and an entrepreneurial streak in Gujarat state have helped make Anand a last stop for many childless couples at home and abroad, after its first surrogate baby five years ago.
In this bustling town known for India’s best-known brand of butter, Patel has delivered more than 100 surrogate babies, 40 percent for Indians living abroad and 20 percent for foreigners.
It all began with a grandmother surrogate for a UK couple five years ago that pitched Anand and Patel into the spotlight. Following their lead, locals and foreigners began to flock to Patel’s clinic, drawn by the lower costs, relaxed attitude toward surrogates and lack of legislation.
A draft bill on surrogacy is pending before parliament, and meanwhile, hundreds of clinics have mushroomed across the country, with critics saying touts promoting this “reproductive tourism” care little for the health or rights of the surrogates.
Patel, who was featured on a special show on Oprah Winfrey two years ago, raises her voice in defense.
“My argument is: the surrogate is not killing anyone, not committing an illegal or immoral act. And if a surrogate’s child is able to get an education, if one family is able to buy a home -- and help a needy couple in the process, where is the harm?”
Patel and the couples, more than half of whom are either non-resident Indians or foreigners, have come under a barrage of criticism for “exploiting” surrogates and for glossing over the ethical debate.
Many surrogates themselves do not tell their parents or in-laws for fear of being ostracised, and several of Patel’s surrogates live in a Surrogate House to ensure they have a proper diet, and are safe from drunken husbands and nosey neighbors.
Shabnam, 26, has not told her two older daughters or her in-laws that she is a surrogate; she lives with a few other surrogates at the hospital with her youngest child, while her husband, who is out of work, cares for the two others at home.
“I don’t think I can ever tell them; I don’t think they’ll understand,” she said, insisting on using just one name. Her husband used to earn less than $1 a day washing dishes.
India’s maternal mortality ratio is 301 in 100,000 births, the highest in south Asia after Bangladesh, the World Bank says.
For Chris McDaniel and his wife Shannon, who came to Anand last April from San Diego after having tried every option in the United States, where hiring a surrogate can take months and cost up to $100,000, the decision to go to Patel was clear.
“It wasn’t in our life plan to fly half-way around the world to a country we barely knew about to have our child,” said Chris, who is writing a book on their experience.
It is hard to come by numbers of surrogates in the country, but Patel has a list of nearly 200 and is seeing more women walk in everyday. – Reuters
Modi behind Karkare-target assasination
Karkare's hands had reached upto "Praveen Togadia". Once Hemant Karkare was close to Togadia., LK Advani lost his sleep. He started abusing Karkare publicly. Then MK Narayanan (another accomplice in Karkare's killing.. albeit a "silent-accomplice") met Advani. The real killers of Hemant Karkare are : Togadia., Narendra Modi., and L.K. Advani (with tacit support by MK Narayanan). The rest of the drama was enacted to camoflouge the target-killing of Karkare.
Hemant Karkare had realised that RSS was the largest terrorist organisation in India., behind various blasts. Hence he was silenced. Shout this truth., the loudest you can., from the 4 corners of the world. Document this truth in any way you can.
Expose RSS as the world's largest terrorist organisation with all your might. Let truth prevail. Satyameva Jayate.
Save India (and the Idea of India) from RSS perverts., before they turn India into another safforn-Afghanistan.
reservation / sachhar commitee
dear brothers and sisters

musalmano ko 10 percent reservation mile jo ranganathan misra commission or sacchhar committee ne propose kiya hai..
that is going to be the most effective weapons of muslims of india inshallah..
puri huqumat par pressure banaye jis tarah bhi ho puri muslim aawwam tak is baat ko pahuchaye taake sab 1 saath aawaz uthaye jisse sarkaar ki kaan tak bat pahunch jaye...
allah o akbar
Narendra Modi behind Karkare Killing
Hemant Karkare IPS was close to getting to the mastermind of various bomb-blasts in India (Parbhani, Nanded, Malegaon, Hyderabad Makkah Masjid, Ajmer., Samjhauta Express etc. etc). Karkare was getting close to the "BOSS" of these blasts. Karkare was very close to Togadia... and Togadia led to Modi... and eventually to LK Advani. That is the reason Advani was so worried about Karkare., that he complained publicly... and MK Narayanan (another accomplice in Karkare killing) personally visited LK Advani.
SM Mushrif IAS(Retd)'s book : Who killed Karkare should be uploaded on the internet for anyone to read it for FREE. Narendra Modi is the mastermind behind Karkare-killing. The whole Mumbai incident 26/11 was plotted by Modi and Togadia... Mastermind was Narendra Modi; hands were Pakistani (outsourcing ho gayee hai Riots ki bhee). There are unemployed boys who are willing to kill and die for Rs. 20 lakh each in Pakistan. Hire 10 boys., and in 2 crores., you have a 26/11 ! This is what Modi did. Main target was Karkare. After eliminating Karkare., they killed 200 more., to make it look authentic and real.
Hindutva and Hinsuism
By majority of Indians, most of the times Indian Muslims, the real meaning of Hindutva and the difference with word, Hinduism is never understood.
Hinduism is the theology of set of natural, spiritual and more importantly social rules explained in ancient literature - may it be Ved, Gita or Ramayan. Each of these books have been created in different era - so they talk about different subjects of human life. This theory is called 'sanatan dharma' - which also believes in ONE God - as Islam!
What we see in current time - is NOT Hinduism - its the polluted religion by Bhrahmins of 16th to 19th century.
More important is the word HINDUTVA - which is not at all related to religion. It is related to NATIONALISM. As we all are Hindustani - no mater what religious belief is yours. The very good example of HINDUTVA is given by Mr. S. H. Raza. (http://news.rediff.com/interview/2010/jun/10/interview-with-legendary-ar...)
Some wise man has said - Politics mixed with religion is the most dangerous poison for society. Modi is giving this poison to society or not, is an question for Justice System, If justice system is corrupt, its a question for Government, if Government is idle/ill-willed, its a question for us - all Indians.
Here are my two cents - to believe or not, it personal choice.
Do you mean Ghatia-aatma ?
Bihar Muslim @ 11 June 2010 - 12:04am.
Do you mean Ghatia-aatma ? As we know, Father of Nation, and acclaimed / undisputed Maha-aatma of Gujarat was assasinated by Hindutva Brigade's follower Nathuram Godse in an internal tussle between LIBERAL and HARDCORE Hindus. Oops, Liberal Hindus - my apologies; Hinduism and Hindutva do not mix !!!
More chaos, is being instigated by the same Hindutva Brigade for the past two decades, under hardcore Hindutva policies.
It's a different matter, they are getting defeated in elections after elections. Let's not forget, in whatever they come-up with - it's all "crocodile tears" - as FACTS on ground cannot be denied.

The Hindu's life expectancy will increase if Modi went
After the election fiasco, the BJP held a chintan baithak to find out the root causes. Among the factors they unearthed were the following :
(1) projection of Modi as possible PM (2) the Varun Gandhi salvo and (3) Advani's personal attack on a respected PM like Dr. Singh.
So the BJP also knows that Modi is a liability. Gujarat is a repository of the worst Hindus in India, so may be Modi will still sell there for some time. But even there, some of Modi's evil acts will surface - like the killing of a 19 year old girl in a fake encounter. It is possible that Hindus will eventually realise that they themselves are destined to be killed due to Modi's adharma. For Modi to rule, Hindus have to be sent on trains to get burnt; and afterwards, they have to engage in communal riots; and finally, the jihadis come and wreak revenge on them in hotels and trains. So it will be better for Hindus if Modi went.
you Hindutva Hindus are messed up, and you live in a make believe world. The BJP is your Great Hindu Hope and Modi is your innocent god, but the rest of the world does not see it that way. The thugs were stamped out in the 19th century, but they have resurfaced. We shall have to stamp them out again.
The Hindus who support Modi are generaly thick. If they cannot sympathise with the killing of inncocent Muslims, at least they should understand that innocent Hindus are also dying so that thugs like Modi can be elected. Who sent these kar sevaks on trains ? It was BJP and VHP. Who set the train on fire ? Modi claimed it was a Muslim mob. The Ahmedabad Forensic Laboratory said the burn marks show that it was a fuel spill from inside, and a mob from outside could not have burnt the train. So the conclusion has to be that the Sangh's agents burnt the train - the kar sevaks are sudras, the swarnas don't give a damn for them. Then Hindu mobs were let lose with police support. The polarisation ensured Modi's victory. Then the jihadis started shooting Hindus in temples and hotels. Bombay has suffered three attacks. And it is not going to stop as long as Hindu thugs like Modi reign. The airing of the footage of the shooting of 19 year old Isharat in a fake encounter is certain to lead to jihadis coming to kill more Hindus.
Why don't the Hindus learn ? Why do they cling to thugs ?
How many Hindus have been saved as a result of Modi and how many Hindus have died due to him ? You cannot say who has been saved. But we know 58 Hindus died in the train. Modi says Muslims did it; but it appears the Sangh did it. Then Hindus have died in Akshardharm and in Bombay blasts, in retaliation for the pogroms. The brutal killing of of Isharat has been aired. It was done by Modi's henchmen. It is certain to inspire jihadis to kill more Hindus. So what have you gained ? When will Hindus realise that the saviour of the Hindus will have Hindus killed also to retain their seat ?
The Hindutva supporters live in a make-believe world of denial. It is difficult for them to accept that their very Hindu god Modi is an ordinary thug, who murdered Indians to win elections. They profess outrage that 58 kar sevaks were burnt. Firstly, who sent these people on trains in order to pressurise the government to build a temple ? Why does this kar seva business and anti-Muslim rheotoric occur only in BJP states around election time ? Secondly, the Ahmedabad Forensic Laboratory has established that the train caught fire due to a spillage of fuel inside, and not due to a mob throwing petrol from outside. Thirdly, even if Hindus want to continue believing a Muslim mob burnt the train, the subject here is not Godhra. The issue is the murder of a 19 year old girl by Modi's communalised Hindu police force. The court has declared it was a fake encounter; the girl was kidnapped, and killed a day before in cold blood, and arms were placed on her, and she was declared a terrorist. What for ? So the police could get awards from their god, Modi. Such is the level of corruption the Hindus will stoop to. The judge has declared this callous behaviour exhibited by the Hindu police was because the girl was Muslim. Hindus who support Modi and continue to live in denial only prove what I have written before : of all the communities in India, the Hindus produce the worst. India cannot possibly become a developed country because we have too many Hindus like Modi.
Modi wanted those kar sevaks killed. Otherwise, how could he have won the elections ? The Ahmedabad Forensic Laboratory proved the fire started due to a fuel spillage inside, and not due to a Muslim mob throwing petrol from outside. The latter story is Modi's version. And we know his credibility - it is in tatters after the judge has declared Isharat was murdered in a fake encounter by policemen seeking Modi's blessings. If the fire was started from inside, then we can only conclude the Sangh burnt the train, since there were no Muslims inside the train. The burnt were all sudra kar sevaks - they are expendable fodder for the swarnas who run the Sangh. The Sangh said Gujarat was a successful experiment, so that proves they orchestrated it.
These BJP Hindus know everything, but they will always clutch at evil, and then show anger that the rest of the world holds them in contempt. That is in their make-up.
Irrespective of what BJP does.............................
Irrespective of what BJP does MUSLIMS will "never ever" vote for BJP. Assume what is given below is done by BJP
-- Mr MODI is removed as CM of Gujarat and thrown out of BJP.
-- Mr Varun, ADVANI, Murali Manohar Joshi and all other BJP leaders objected to by MUSLIMS are all thrown out of BJP.
-- BJP cuts off its link with RSS.
-- BJP announce 15% reservation for Muslims in all GOVT JOBS if they come to power.
WILL THE MUSLIMS VOTE FOR BJP???? Certainly NOT.
So evidently BJP has to get all its vote from the HINDUS of India. Mr Varun Gandhi has proved in the last election that "blatant anti-Islamism" can ensure the victory of BJP candidates even in constituencies which has substantial MUSLIM population and that is the path BJP should follow.
Had BJP after in power in center for FOUR YEARS under Mr Vajpayee, gone ahead and commenced construction of RAM TEMPLE at AYODYA, BJP would have come back to power on its own in the next election.
terrorist is terrrorist, no
terrorist is terrrorist, no ground is enough to justify 10,OOO killings that he lead.
Modi & Muslims
You may be absolutely right that the picture in the ad was first published by you. We all know that the Ad world collects pics from elsewhere just like you may have as well. However instead of just saying that "a picture that can belie the claims" was yours, why not disprove OR admit the "contents" of the ad that are very specific in the quantitative claims it makes.
It is in our interest that we look at everyone for the multi-faceted human beings / organizations or societies that we are - that cannot be judged with monochromatic lenses of singular focus. If we indeed choose to stay that way then at least judge everyone with the same monochromatic / singular standards? Also, it is only a matter of time that Supreme Court's IT report will be out.
Why not announce in advance if you will accept the Supreme Court's judgment about Modi's guilt or not BEFORE the report is made public. Otherwise, if he is declared guilty, you will say we told you so. If he is not guilty, you will say the investigation was biased. By not declaring your acceptance of the judgment in advance, you are keeping your options open and are in fact claiming that the justice system is on trial depending on if it delivers the verdict you want to hear and have presumed.

It is time to think big. Well, Hindus and Muslims got killed in riots there; he may or amy not have had a hand in those; but the fact is that Gujrat is now the most peaceful state in India.
Muslims economic share in Gujarat is reduced to less than 1/2
The per capita income of muslims at Rs. 875 may be more than other states,it is still far less than the per capita income of Gujarati Muslims in 1990, which was atleast to the tune of Rs 2000. Further, as per few other assessments Muslims economic share in Gujarat is reduced to less than 1/2 after the year 2002. Muslims of Gujarat were highly enterprising people and they had been out performing not only other states but other communities in their own state since centuries. There are people who have been misusing the data to their favour, in order to convince the gulliable population, who are not well versed with the past or have short memories.
Gujrat Muslims
Gujrat Muslims are better off than their bretheren in other parts of India (and in the so called OIC countries!)
In all social metrics - education, womens health, income, employment etc- Muslims in Gujrat are far better than Muslims in other Indian states, may be except Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
A storm sometimes clears the coast .. Whatever may eb the problems of yeterday, there is peace today, progress in all fronts, and progress aimed at the whole state.
No other leader has done so much for his people than Modi. You can judge him based on innuendos of the sectarian violence -- was it godhra, or planned attack , or did he sanction, etc etc the fact is that Hindus were burned in a train compartment, and following that Muslims were massacred.. -- or the great stride he has made for Gujrat as a destination investment state in India
Modi employs tactics of his Guru Sri Poojaniya HITLER JI

gujarat muslims.
here is an article by Mr Pravin Sheth which appeared in one of the popular dailies. He quotes from Sachar committee report and not theselective information. The auther of this article may like to verify this data from the original source
In setting up the Sachar Committee, the UPA government had its own objectives. Contrary to the expectations of Chief Minister Narendra Modi’s critics, the committee’s comparative statewise statistics of parameters like education, employment and income of the Muslim population living in the country proves Gujarat is far ahead of other states, even those ruled by so-called secular parties.
In terms of literacy, Muslims in Gujarat stood at 73.5% as compared to the national average of 59.1. The figure for urban males is 76, and 81 for those in rural areas as compared to the national average of 70 and 62 respectively in similar categories.
The average literacy rate of Muslim women in urban Gujarat is five points higher than the national average, whereas those in rural Gujarat fare even better with a literacy rate of 57 per cent as compared to the national average of 43.
A greater percentage of Muslims here have attained primary, secondary and higher-secondary level education. The national average is 60.9%. Muslim children in Gujarat are benefiting from equal opportunities to access secondary schooling as other children.
Take other aspect of economic well-being of Muslims in Gujarat. Here also, the Sachar Committee dispels the myth.
The per month per capita income of Muslims in urban Gujarat is an average Rs 875 — more than the national average of Rs 804. In contrast, it is Rs 662 in UP, Rs 748 in West Bengal, Rs 811 in Punjab, Rs 803 in Andhra Pradesh and Rs 837 in Karnataka.
In rural Gujarat, the per capita monthly income of Muslims is 20-25% more than the Muslims living in rural areas of most other states. On an average, it comes to Rs 668 compared to the national average of Rs 553.
In terms of Muslims living below poverty line, Gujarat improved from 54% in 1987-88 to 34% in 2004-2005, showing a healthy pace of improvement. Even in terms of share of Muslims in state employment, it is 5.4% in Gujarat while it is 2.1% in West Bengal, 3.2% in Delhi and 4.4% in Maharashtra.
Overall, the total picture counters the propaganda that injustice is being done to Muslims in Gujarat. The Sachar Committee on educational condition clearly shows that the Muslims of Gujarat are progressing well in the field of education and economic well-being. They are well cared for. The facts on their economic conditions dispel similar myths about their being discriminated against or being denied equal opportunity.
The fact is echoed by the Imam of Jama Masjid in Ahmedabad, who reportedly commented sometime back “Muslims have an opportunity to prosper in the peaceful environment that the Modi government has created. Modi has provided an atmosphere which is conducive for those who want to trade peacefully in Gujarat’’.
The Sachar report indirectly challenges other states to emulate Modi’s policy of secular development and ‘nationalise’ it.
Ironically, vociferous secularists are silent regarding the findings. They continue to focus on Modi-1 as branded during the 2002 carnage and Sohrabuddin encounter — a chief minister habitually noted to dishonour the rule of law, a friend of corporate magnets to the detriment of villagers and SEZ-affected disadvantaged.
However, there is popularly a more accepted Modi-2 — a dynamic CM realising the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, the Special Investment Regions, port-based development, ‘Hopenhagen’, BRTS, GDP, and much more.
But the two Modis fail to merge as some anti-Modi ideologues refuse to discern the significant transformation in his leadership.
Can Modi, hubris-free, demonstrate his transformation to abridge this perception-reality gap?
Muslims achieved themselves if any
Sri Sri Sri Thacker, Please do not mislead us quoting distorted news items.Whatever the progress Gujarat Muslims have made, the credit should be given to their hard work not to the terrorists like Modi.What Modi did to Muslims is a well known matter not only here but everywhere also.Conscience of Indian Justice delivery system is in trouble until this stupid is booked and tried for Genocide.
"Vibrant Gujarat"
"Vibrant Gujarat" this article has been published before, i am just coping, i think at the apropriate time to spell the ghost of "Vibrant Gujrat".
LIES, HALF-TRUTHS AND ILLUSIONS
"The Gujarat Reality Today"
- Fr. Cedric Prakash sj *It is January 14th 2009.....Makarsakranti, the only feast of the Indian calendar which is not observed on a particular day of the Lunar month. It is generally believed that on this day, the sun enters the constellation of Makar (crocodile) and begins to move towards the north. In Gujarat , it is known as Uttarayan, the day on which thousands of kites dot the skies in order to propitiate the Sun-God. The newspapers today (as those of yesterday) are filled with stories of 'Vibrant Gujarat'... of how the biggest industrialists of the country have "promised" to invest thousands of crores (millions of dollars !) in Gujarat . Overnight, the problems of the State seem to have been solved!! Some have decided that Gujarat can now take on China and a couple of industrialists have even anointed the CM of the State as the next Prime Minister of India!!!
Visitors and dignitaries who came to Ahmedabad were welcomed by posters and banners, by floodlights and illuminations, with newly paved roads and a city which was cosmetically spruced up for the "mother of all events" to flaunt what is termed in Government propaganda, as "Vibrant Gujarat".
The local (and some national) media went "gaga".....showcasing how Gujarat is more than India, how the "whole world" had come to invest in this one State during the two-day affair know as 'Vibrant Gujarat Investors' Summit'. The Government and their cronies flag-waved all over.....it's the Number One State in the Country! The hype put forward by the well oiled propaganda machinery was so compelling that even the most diehard critics of Gujarat fell into the trap, and joined the chorus that "all is well".
Very few dare ask uncomfortable questions. Everybody knows the truth about who is doing the
"flag-waving!" There are voices who say that ' the "emperor" has no clothes on! 'But at this moment, there are not too many listening. The plain truth is that the cosmetic has stifled the reality. If one scratches the surface a little, the bubble of euphoria will surely burst. Let's look into how "Vibrant", is Gujarat.
Violent:
For a State that should have had 'Ahimsa' as its cornerstone, violence has in fact become institutionalized. The State presided over the killing of hundreds of Muslims during the Carnage of 2002. Trigger-happy policemen have eliminated several Muslim youth in 'encounters'. (One high-ranking police officer is now in jail for such an 'encounter'.) Innocent boys are killed in an ashram of a well known Guru, and, no one can do anything about it! Young girls studying to be teachers are raped in Government Hostels by their teachers for the sake of better grades. Female foeticide is rampant. One only has to skim through the daily newspapers to realize how violence has become a perfected art in the State.
Intolerant:
There is sophistication in the way intolerance has been mainstreamed. One can experience it in the chaotic traffic on the roads. If one is a Muslim, one is denied to right to buy a house or a shop in the up-market areas of Ahmedabad, Surat and other cities. One is forced to live on the periphery of many villages. The Freedom of Religion Law prevents any one from embracing another religion, without permission from the civil authority. Couples in love, are forcibly prevented from marrying if the partner belongs to a different religion or caste. Movies like "Parzania" and "Fanaa" are not allowed to be screened in the State – one, because it exposes the Truth, and the other, because the lead actor asks that the tribals who were dispossessed because of the Narmada Dam, to be justly rehabilitated.
Bluffing:
The art of lying seems to have taken a new meaning in Gujarat. This is obvious when even a sheer Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is regarded as "Mission accomplished!" This bluff was called, when recently, under an RTI query; the Government of Gujarat admitted that just about 25% of the MoUs of the last three years were actually in the pipeline!! The waters of the Narmada Dam are being utilized by the rich and powerful of Ahmedabad. The parched lands of North Gujarat, Saurashtra and Kutch still harbour illusions of the water reaching them!!! State Government advertisements highlight projects and programmes which are in fact undertaken and executed by the Central Government, like the expressway, the airport, the railway system and the 108 ambulance service.
Revengeful:
In Gujarat today, anyone standing up for Truth and Justice is at the receiving end. The Government pulls out all stops (to stop School Grants, to impound Passports) to ensure that voices of dissent are silenced. A few months ago, when the Times of India did an expose on the Police Commissioner of Ahmedabad, sedition charges were filed against some of those who ran the newspaper. Honest and objective police officials and bureaucrats are transferred to insignificant postings; Government agencies like the Collectorate, the Police, and the Charity Commissioner are used to intimidate and harass individuals and groups that work for the betterment of the poor, the vulnerable and marginalized. Prominent citizens are kept under constant surveillance and many live under the veil of fear.
Arrogant:
A sense of arrogance seems to have puffed up the chests of a few who try to control the lives and destinies of others. Such arrogance was very visible in the heyday of Nazism when Hitler brutally trampled on those who were "not like him". Key people in the State roam about with immunity and impunity and are also elected to positions of power. The underlying message that is conveyed is that "no one can touch them". One needs to look at the judgments that are given from the Lower Courts and the High Court of Gujarat, in order to experience the subjectivity and partiality that has permeated the system.
Negligent:
Large sections of society in Gujarat are totally neglected. Systematic efforts are made to snatch the forests from the hands of the adivasis. A recent study says that more than thirty-five thousand families will be displaced from the banks of the River Sabarmati because of the Sabarmati River Front Development Project. Development- induced displacement is also the lot of several poor and marginalized farmers and others. Fisher-folk along Gujarat 's vast coastline, continue to be marginalized. Dalits are at the receiving end and many of them continue to live in inhuman conditions. The status of women in Gujarat is way down in comparison to several other States of the country. Children are denied their rights: a large percentage of them constitute the labour force; the textbooks dished out by the Gujarat State Secondary School Board is a clear violation of the rights of children – full of errors, inaccuracies, myths and distortions; only about 59.6% of the rural children of Gujarat can read Std. I text as against the All-India average of 66.6%. The Indian Express of December 21st 2008, has this to say: According to International Food Policy Research Institute's 2008 Global Hunger Index, Gujarat is ranked 69th along with Haiti , the nation infamous for food riots. The State is placed in the 'alarming' category.
Terror-filled:
Gujarat State is truly terror-filled! For almost seven years now, the principles of democracy have been thrown to the wind. Right-wing Hindu groups can put up bill boards almost anywhere proclaiming a "Hindu Rashtra". Places of worship have sprung up on public space and they are given full protection by the law and order mechanism. The Constitutional rights and freedoms of an ordinary citizen are not safeguarded. In fact, in several cases, when a victim approaches the system for help, he / she is made the perpetrator of the crime!!! The diversity which has been characteristic of this State has been totally decimated as communities are forced into ghettoization. There is palpable fear all over.
What "Vibrant Gujarat" then, does one talk about? The truth is that Gujarat as a State is "Violent", "Intolerant", "Bluffing", "Revengeful", "Arrogant", "Negligent" and "Terror-filled" .
Let's not live in lies, half-truths and illusions.
Gujarat, wake up, before it is too late!! Satyameva Jayate!
