Milli Gazette: Ten years of a community newspaper

A Response to Hindu Rashtra and Idea of India

Articles
By Saif Ahmad Khan, In an article published for The Millennium Post titled “Hindu Rashtra and the idea of India” (25th August, 2014), Delhi University Associate Professor Dr Sangit Ragi argued, “A river is always identified with and known after the dominant stream. So is the culture. When RSS talks of Hindu Rashtra it signifies the majoritarian makeup of this nation, which defines both its character and distinctiveness.” If we try and reconcile this analogy of Dr Ragi with the idea of India then we would but obviously conclude that India as a nation represents a culture which is Brahminic in nature, masculine in terms of gender and heavily tilted in favour of Hindi-speaking and comparatively fair skinned North Indians.

How India wasted three Bharat Ratnas: Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Articles
By Sharique Anwer for TwoCircles.net, On March 27, 2015 President of India, Pranab Mukherjee presented Bharat Ratna to former Prime Minister and one of the founding leader of BJP Atal Bihari Vajpayee. From Right Wing supporters to liberals almost everyone applauded the gesture of the NDA government to confer Atal Bihar Vajpayee with Country’s highest civilian award, Bharat Ratna. Also, I saw many staunch congress supporters tweeting against Bharta Ratna to former PM. Congress supporters attacked NDA government over Bharat Ratna to ABV is like “Foot in the mouth moment” in my opinion, after congress government’s own act of awarding Bharat Ratna to Indira Gandhi and Rajeev Gandhi in the past.

Based in New Delhi, Maulana Wahiduddin Khan is a noted Islamic scholar.

How do you account for this phenomenon of intense sectarianism and the fact that, unlike in the Christian case, there is really no Muslim ecumenical movement to bring the ulema of the different sects on a common platform for serious dialogue?
