the treasurer of Tamil Nadu IUMLsaid the trust, apart from othersocial and charitable activities,had been conducting the MeeladConference annually for thepast three years. This year theconference was inauguratedby the IUML State PresidentProf. K.M. Khader Mohideen onFebruary, 4, 2011 with muchfan fare and with large publicattendance. While addressingthe Conference on the inauguralday the Dalit leader Thiruma

Valavan stated that peace in theworld would be possible only byprofessing the teachings of ProphetMuhammad(sal.)

The life of prophet was not asermon but a living examples ofcardinal virtues, reecting all the

complexities of human life, drawingdistinction between virtue and vice,between good and bad and towhichever side one turns, his lifeshines as a beacon of light guidinghumanity to righteous deeds. The

Holy prophet is the prototype ofhuman and spiritual perfection, forthe Holy Quran states you haveindeed in the messenger of Allahan excellent exemplar, and inanother place Quran mentions, We sent thee not save as a mercyfor the people.

In his valedictory address,the state Finance Minister Prof.K. Anbalagan said that the prophetadvised his followers rely on Quran,

rely on Hadith, if no solutionsare found on these two, then

rely on your own reason. Thisadvice of the prophet prompted therationalists of the world to acceptIslam as the true religion and theyconsidered performance of fivetimes daily prayer as a practice ofself control.

The IUML State PresidentProf K.M. Kader Mohideen in hisconcluding speech traced theorigin, and development of andsimilarities between the Tamil andIslamic cultures with an emphasison the existing blood relation andbrotherhood between the twocommunities in the state of TamilNadu.

and tagged it with territory. Later,M.S. Golwalkar, the RSS guru inhis book, Bunch of Thoughts,agreed with Savarkar and furtherstrengthened the territorial loyaltybasis of Hindutva theory. Mr.Balraj Madhok, who was leadingthe then Jan-sangh was the mostnotorious amongst the men ofhis order. He profounded thetheory of Indianisation and openlyproclaimed that Muslims in Indianeeded to be Indianised. Mr. AtalBehari Vajpayee evolved Hindutvafurther when he articulated that Mecca can continue to be holyland for the Muslims but Indiashould be holier than the holy forthem. You can go to your mosqueand offer namaz, you can keeproza. We have no problem. But, ifyou have to choose between Islamand India, you must choose India. All the Muslims should have this

feeling. We will live and die for thiscountry. Vajpayee should haveread the religion of Islam beforemaking such an adverse commenton Muslims. Every Muslim knows

very well that loyalty to onesmotherland is a part of his religiousfaith and he needs no counseling

from anybody on his patriotism.Hence, Hindutva theory is notonly not practicable but also notworthy of consideration.

Plato, the great Greekphilosopher, states: Like man,like State and Governments varyas the characters of men vary.States are made out of the humannatures which are in them.Therefore, we need not expect tohave better States until we havebetter men. The world will notforget that it was during the Prime

Minsitership of Vajpayee that hisprotg Narendra Modi unleashedthe communal carnage in Gujaratwith the help of State machineries.What happened in Gujarat was, infact , the unmasking of the ugliestface of communalism that Indiahas ever witnessed.

The IUML has come out witha viable solution to combat thevirulent communalism of Hindutvaforces in India. It is not uncommonfor the Indian political parties to

blame IUML as a communal partyto suit their political expediency.In 1960 General elections, IUML

different groups of people ondifferent occasions.

Communalism in the west iscommonly known as a Theory ofSociety that is divided into severalsmall independent communes andthe state is just a confederationof these communes. MurrayBookchin, a well known socialist

author, was the rst to coin theterm communalism as a politicalphilosophy. Bookchin describescommunalism as a broad rangeof social movements and socialtheories centered upon thecommunity.

In South-East Asian countriessectarianism is commonly usedinstead of communalism. Inthe African countries the termcommunalism assumes the nameof tribalism. Tribal crisis is rampantin almost all African countriesand presently Sudan has becomea typical example for the tribalconict in Africa.

In the Indian context, the termcommunalism assumes a differentmeaning. It has a religious or

ethnic base depending on thespecial features of differentparts of the country. Even trivialoccurrences foment communal

hatred and communal violence.Even political parties which vowto uphold secularism are prone toindulge in activities knowingly orunknowingly leading to communalair ups. The Ayodhya crisis is

an example of communal crisiscreated by Hindutva forces.

V.D. Savarkar, the founder ofHindu Maha Sabha, in his book Hindutva, was the rst to make

an attempt to delink hindutvafrom Hindu religious connotations

affairs, E.Ahamed, has becomethe rst Muslim League Central

Minister in the history of the party.It is not an ordinary achievement,considering the road the partyhas been treading in all along itshistory from political obscurity topolitical power.

The Late Muslim League leader, A.K.A. Abdul Samad, a greatscholar from the State of TamilNadu, dened communalism in

a different angle. He stated, Ifcommunalism means ghting for

the rights of ones own community,the IUML does not shy away frompractising such communalism. Ifcommunalism is described as theusurpation of rights of a community,

the IUML is ignorant of its meaning.To counter the Hindutva forcesmaligned propaganda, the TamilNadu State Committee IUML underthe sagacious leadership of Prof.K.M. Kader Mohideen, has givena clarion call to its followers toproclaim to the nation India is ourcountry, Islam is our way, SweetTamil is our language. Based onthis concept, the IUML has beenstriving hard right from its inceptionto promote mutual understanding,goodwill, amity, cordiality, harmonyand unity between Muslims andother communities of the IndianUnion and at the same time theIUML works hard to preserve and

aligned with congress in Kerala,the communists branded IUMLcommunal. In 1967 elections,IUML aligned with communists,the congress then called the IUMLcommunal. At present IUML, apartner in the UPA.

FEBRUARY - 2011

The Muslim Personal Law isa religious obligation on eachand every Muslim. Now, theprotagonists of a uniform civil

code say that uniformity in wayof life leads to national solidarityand unity. I very much respect theconcern for this national solidarityand unity. But I must submitthat it is unity in diversity, theprinciple which we cherish, ratherthan uniformity in a plural societylike India, that leads to nationalsolidarity and unity. We have somany uniform laws, civil procedurecode and so on and so forth. Whythen do we still face challenges tonational unity and solidarity despite

all these uniform Laws? So, what Iwas pointing out is that India is aplural society and the basis of thisplural society lies in our adherenceto the principle of unity in diversity.The principles of Muslim PersonalLaw do not injure anybody else.They need not; they need nottake any offence if a Muslim wantsto continue with his adherencewith the Shariat; the Shariat isimmutable, as I said, and thefundamental principles of Shariatare not open for reconsideration.

India is a plural society. It isa cradle of several cultures. Theunity and solidarity of our countrylies in achieving unity in diversity.The talk of a uniform civil codewith its implications, agitates theminds of the minorities, especiallythe Muslims. The talk of theuniform civil code is an attack onthe traditional spirit of toleranceand secular ideals of our society.It is not through uniformity thatwe can maintain our society.Uniformity leads only to thedestruction of the very basis of ourplural society. It opens oodgates

to needless and avoidable conictand confrontation. I have,therefore, pointed out the natureof the Muslim Personal Law, theimplications of Article 44 andthe continuation of Article 44encouraging certain sections tocontinue with their campaigngiving rise to conicts, resentment

and agitated minds.We are told that a common civil

code will promote national unity.This is a false illusion. It is an

exploded myth that any uniformcivil code promotes national unity.We all know, for example, that inthe United States of America thereare separate marriage laws, divorce

UNIFORM CIVIL CODE OR

UNITY IN DIVERSITY?

laws and other laws in differentStates. Though there are differentmarriage, divorce and other lawsin different States yet the unity of

the US is not affected. Nobodythinks of bringing a common lawfor the sake of the unity of theU.S, It will also be realized that theerce World Wars, I and II, werefought among people, amongnations, with almost a uniformcivil code. They all believed inthe Christian Civil Code. They allbelieved in one code and yet therewere wars. These are all explodedmyths that any uniform civil codewill bring about unity. Unity comesfrom respecting the cultural and

all human rights of the peopleof every section; unity does notcome from trampling upon themand imposing forcibly any thinkingfrom above. We have article 25of the Constitution of India whichgives religious freedom. There isan explanation to the word Hinduthat explanation says that the wordHindu includes Sikhs and others.So, as far as they are concerned,there is almost a uniform civilcode. There is almost a uniformcivil code applicable to Hindus,Sikhs and others, according tothe denition given in article 25. Yet, we know that on occasionsserious dissension unfortunatelycame between these communitiesdespite the fact that they alwayshad a uniform civil code amongthem.

Parliamentary Speeches

of G.M. Banatwalla

He introduced a non ofcial

Constitution (Amendment)

Bill for ommissian of Article

44 of the Constitution of

India, before the Lok Sabha

and made the Speech on

29.03.1985.

The Mopilla uprising was a valiant uprising by the Mopilla Muslimsof the Malabar region of kerala against the tyranny of the British in India.

For a moment, it shook the very edice of the British rule in India, as

the mighty British army had been jolted by the determined on slaught of

the Mopillas. The army had to send a S.O.S. to call for the assistance of

the Naval force to repulse the attack.

The Mopilla uprising in 1921 was the culmination of a series of revolts

by the Mopillas as a reaction against the heavy handed crackdown

of the khilafat Movement, by the British Authorities, in the Ernad and

Valluvanad Taluks of Malabar.

The Mopillas were swift in their initial attack and took control of police

stations, British Govt. ofce, judicial courts and Govt. treasuries. It was

alleged that Mopillas attacked some Hindus also whom they said were

helping the police in suppressing their uprising.

In fact public orders were issued by the Mopilla leaders that no

harm should be done to the Hindus and those Mopillas who resorted to

looting would be given exemplary punishments. The leaders of uprising

What Price Freedom!The Heroic Mopilla uprising

proclaimed the advent of Swaraj.

The most prominent leaders of the uprising were Variankunnath

Kunjahammed Haji, Sithi koya Thangal, and Ali Musliyar

For six months from Aug 1921, the uprising extended over 2000

square miles 2/5th of the area in South Malabar region of Malabar

District under the Madras Presidency. An estimated 10000 people lost

their lives, another 2000 were deported to Andaman island prison and

around 10,000 went missing.

Some of the most notable encounter was at Pookkotur in which British

troops sustained heavy casualties and had to withdraw for safety.One of the most notable events during the suppression was later

known as the Wagon Tragedy wherein 70 of 90 Mopilla prisoners

were suffocated to death in a closed railway goods wagon. The wagon

Tragedy the historian Sumit Sarkar reffered to it as the Black hole of

Podanur.

In its magnitude and extent it was an unprecedented popular upheaval

the like of which was not been seen in kerala before or since. While the

Mopillas were in the vanguard of the movement and they bore the brunt

of the struggle, several non Mopilla leaders were in active sympathy

with the cause of the Mopilla ghters, giving the uprising the character

of a national upheaval. In 1971, the Govt. of Kerala recognized the

active participants of the event as freedom ghters.

Note : The Times of League under the title What Price Freedomwill publish an important event from the history of the Freedom

struggle, to instil in the mind of the readers, the valuable contribution

made by the Muslims for the cause of Indian Freedom.

Inventions normally take a long time to develop into their modernforms. An invention is a step on the road to the ultimate goal. For

example, the development of the bullock cart from the potters wheel

took around 700 years, which later paved the way for development of

all modes of transport. Similarly, the invention of Jacquards loom inthe early 18th century enabled the automation process in the calculation

machine, which subsequently became a major foundation for the growth

on preexisting forms, compositions, processes or ideas. Some times,

there may be radical breakthroughs, which may extend the boundaries

of human knowledge of experience. Invention is the rst occurrence

of an idea for a new product or process, while innovation is the rst

attempt to modify it for betterment. Therefore, innovation today is

not invention. Its about taking the product, putting in a new process,

thinking around it and marketing it. Innovation is about working on

practical utilitarian features that enhance the product. It could be

The court dismissed writpetitions led by Janata Party

the company, Al Barakh FinancialServices Limited, was registeredunder the Companies Act. A jointventure with big industrialists andenterprises, it would function inaccordance with the law of theland, and it was not controlled bythe government.

The judges said that underArticle 298, if the State government

had the freedom or authority tocarry on any trade or business oracquire or dispose of property andto enter into a contract, the beliefthat the State was prohibited fromdoing any trade or business, eitherwith a religious organisation or an

organisation which proposed tocarry on a business in a mannercompliant with a set of religiousbeliefs, would be inconsistentwith the established rules ofinterpretation of constitutionaldocuments. The Constitution didnot place any absolute embargoon the government associatingitself with any religious activity.

Swami Aseemanand, who wasarrested in November 2010 for hisalleged role in the 2007 MeccaMasjid blasts, in his confession,recorded before the magistrate in

December, had said that a right-wing group was responsible forthe 2006 Malegaon blasts. His 42-page confession, recorded in Hindi,has been reported in Tehelkaslatest cover story. He has namedsenior RSS leader Indresh Kumar,the murdered RSS pracharak SunilJoshi, Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakurand senior RSS pracharaks SandeepDange and Ramji Kalsangra,among others, as key conspiratorsin the terror blasts.

After Swami Aseemanands

explosive revealations on theinvolvement of Hindu right wingactivists in the terror incidents inIndia, more skeletons seem to beemerging from the closet. Afterhis confession to the CBI about

of key RSS players in the terroristactivities and has revealed thepart played by Indresh Kumar to

retaliate against Islamic terrorism.The swami has also given explicitdetails of the involvement of RSSleader Indresh Kumar, Sunil Joshiand Ramchandra Kalsangra, akaRamji in the various terror plotshatched by them and the other key

players in the bomb-for-bombplan.

2006 Malegaon blasts killed 37people and injured more than 100.More than 68 people were killed in

the Samjhauta Express bombing in2007, three were killed in the 2007bombing at the Ajmer dargahwhile seven were killed in the 2008Malegaon blasts.

The police had arrested ninepersons - Salman Farsi, Shabir Ahmed, Noorulhuda Doha, Rais Ahmed, Mohammed Ali, AsifKhan, Javed Sheikh, Dr Faroogue Ansari and Abrar Ahmed - fortheir alleged involvement in theMalegaon blasts. Likewise in allthe blast cases Police immediately

suspected and informed the pressthat only Islamic Terroristswere behind the blasts. So manyinnocent Muslim youths werearrested and detained for yearseven without bail.

Though some Muslimorganisations raised their voiceagainst the partisan attitude ofthe Police, none had taken anyconstructive step to check thismenace except our Indian UnionMuslim League.

After the blasts in Delhi inSeptember 2008 the Police asusually started its harassmenton Delhi Jamia Milia IslamiaUniversity students. Our IUMLNational President and Ministerof State E.Ahmed Sahib andNational General Secretary Prof.K.M.Kader Mohideen Sahib, thethen Member of Parliament, metUPA President Ms.Sonia Gandhion 06.10.2008 and explained her

about the calculated sabotage andsuppression unleashed against theMuslim community. They also metPrime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singhand urged upon him the need toinvestigate the blast cases seriouslywith open mind. Our leaders wereassured that the investigationswould be handed over to NationalInvestigation Agency (NIA) and

some special squads to cull outthe truth. Following which theMalegaon Blast investigationwas taken over by Anti TerroristSquad (ATS) in Maharashtra andthe Hindu right wing leaders likeSadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur werearrested. This brought a new lightand twist to all the blast cases inIndia and now the confession ofSwami Aseemanand has exposedand identied the true terrorists

before the Nation.

This is the way of approachIndian Union Muslim League alwaysfollow. If not IUMLs constructiveaction, till date all the blasts in thiscountry would have been brandedas Islamic Terrorism and innocentMuslim Youths would have been jailed as usual. IUML has provedthat it is the only political partyin this country which could guardthe Muslim community from theclutches of religious terrorism.
