    THE TIMES OF LEAGUEA Harmony of Hearts Monthly

    Fast has a signicant value both in the spiritual and temporalspheres. In order to attain self purication almost all major

    religions of the world encourage their followers to observe fast.

    Political fast is not uncommon in our country. Gandhiji fasted on

    many occasions for varied reasons to stop communal violence,

    to convey political messages to the masses, to achieve a political

    goal and to attain slef purication. The socalled SADBHAVANA

    FAST undertaken by the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi

    does not fall on any of the above category. Instead it is a showbaji

    fast(Publicity fast).

    The so called growth of Gujarat under Chief Ministership of

    modi pales in to insignicance before his mountain of misdeeds

    including the horric 2002 communal carnage. During the dark

    days of communal riots hundreds of innocents muslims were

    butchered, homes were burned down, muslim girls were rapped

    in front of their parents, unborn babies were knifed out from the

    wombs of pregnant muslim women, properties worth millions

    were destroyed, mosque, madrassas, muslim institutions were

    demolished and hundreds of muslim villages were razed to the

    ground. One can smell the stink of blood wherever Modi goes

    including inside the Exhibition Hall of Gujarat University, the

    venue of his SADBHAVANA FAST.

    Did Modi ever own the moral responsibility for the happenings in

    his state? Did he repent for his past sins? Did he repair or rebuild

    the demolished mosques,madrassas and muslim educational

    institutions? Did he ever attempt to assuage the feelings of the

    affected? Did he rehabilitate the riot victims? Let him come clean

    rst and then fast. In that case we are ready to welcome his fast

    for maintaining communal peace and harmony.The Tamilnadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaas support for Modis

    fast is no wonder considering her past acts of commissions -

    her partys participation in Ram Mandir Karseva, her aversion to

    reservation for muslims, her constant support to Modi-birds of

    same feather ock together. The Dravidian Leader Dr.Kalaignar

    Karunanidhi on the other hand has rightly stated that Modis past

    actions cannot be forgotten.

    The difference between 2002 Modi (Riot Modi) and 2011 Modi

    (fasting Modi) is not much- the 2002 wolf has come out under

    the garb of sheep in 2011.Modis political gimmick is nothing but

    a cheap publicity ploy to distract attention from his present and

    past misdeeds.

    Holy QuranSpeaks

    Mankind was one single

    nation, and Allah sent

    Messengers with glad tidings

    and warnings; and with them

    He sent the Book in truth,

    to judge between people in

    matters wherein they differed;

    but the People of the Book,

    after the clear Signs came tothem, did not differ among

    themselves, except through

    selsh contumacy. Allah by

    His Grace Guided the believers

    to the Truth, concerning that

    wherein they differed. For Allah

    guided whom He will to a path

    that is straight.

    (Quran 2: 213 )

    Sayings of Prophet

    Muhammed (Sal)Acquire knowledge, because

    he who acquires it, in the way

    of the Lord, performs an act of

    piety; who speaks of it praises

    the Lord; who seeks it, adores

    God, who dispenses instruction

    in it, bestows alms; and who

    imparts it to its tting objects,

    performs an act of devotion to

    God. Knowledge enables its

    possessor to distinguish what

    is forbidden from what is not;lights the way to Heaven; it

    is our friend in the desert,

    our companion in solitude,

    our companion, when bereft

    of friends riends; it guides us

    to happiness; it sustains us

    in misery; it is our ornament

    in the company of friends; it

    serves as an armor against our

    enemies. With knowledge the

    creatures of Allah rises to the

    heights of goodness and to

    noble position, associates withthe sovereigns in this world

    and attains the perfection of

    happiness in the next.

    THE TIMES OF LEAGUE3

    IUML TAMILNADU

    Political Advisory Committee ResolutionsThe political advisory committee of the Tamilnadu IUML met on

    20th September 2011 at the party headquarters Chennai under the

    presidentship of party leader Prof: K.M.Khader Mohideen. The partyGeneral Secretary welcomed the PAC members.The party president

    Prof:K.M.Khader Mohideen highlighted various issues that require partys

    attention and action. After a detailed discussion the PAC adopted the

    following resolutions.

    1.Local body election

    The PAC resolves to authorize the panjayath,town,municipal and

    corporation primaries to select the prospective candidates to contest the

    local body election.The PAC authorizes the district league to select the

    winning wards and ask the district league to send the selected wardsand candidates to the state leadership.The PAC delegates power to the

    local primaries to have seat adjustments with the willing political parties.

    The district presidents are authorized to sign the B-Forms.

    2.Trichy Bi-election

    The PAC resolves to support the DMK candidates in the Trichy Bi-

    election.

    3. Condemns the unilateral action of theGovernment

    It is an accepted normal practice to reserve the separate constituencies

    for women every ten year following a rotation process.However this

    time the normal practice is done away with. Against this normal practice

    this time the election commission has announced the women reserved

    constituencies just after the expiry of ve years.

    The muslim majority wards in Kayalpatinam,Keelakkarai,Kadayan

    allur,Thengashi,Deva Kottai,Ambur and Gudiyatham are reserved for

    women. Further the muslim majority constituencies in Kunnur, Pernam

    but,Ranipet,Kuthanallur are reserved for scheduled caste.The unilateral

    announcement made by the Tamil Nadu Government has shocked the

    muslim community. The PAC appeals the State Government to reconsider

    its decision.

    4.Remove the imaginary portraits of prophet andcaliphs from the urdu text books

    The publishing of imaginary portraits of prophet Yousuf, Hazarath

    Umar,Hazarat Ali and Imam Abu Hanifa has wounded the sentiments of

    the muslim community.This imaginary portraits should be removed from

    the textbook forthwith.Necessary action should be initiated against the

    ofcials responsible for this act.

    5.Fund rasing

    The PAC acknowledges and agrees with the suggestions made by the

    PAC member M.S Thurabsha to raise the fund for IUML and resolves to

    constitute committee for the same.

    The party President Prof: K.M.Khader Mohideen had a press meeting

    in the evening.He answered the volley of questions asked by the presspeople.He enlightened the contents of resolutions passed in the PAC. To

    a query about the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modis fast, he said we

    would have welcomed the fast had Modi mended his past missdeads. He

    disapproved the Tamilnadu Chief Minister J.Jayalalithaas action to send

    her party representatives to participate in the Modis fasting.The newly

    elected party Treasurer M.S.A Shahjahan proposed vote of thanks.

    Sayhan Vernon, 32, decided toconvert Islam in 2010 after being

    brought up in a Christian home

    and then being an atheist for a

    number of years.

    Ive never been content with

    other peoples explanations or

    another way I could say it: I was

    guided by Allah, said Mr Vernon.

    Mr Vernon described his rst

    Ramadan as an achievement.

    He said: Its been testing but allin quite a positive way - Ive done

    enough research to know its not

    all about doing without food.

    Its also about yourself and

    A Worcester man has been reecting on the experience of observinghis rst Ramadan as a recently converted Muslimthe way you see yourself, being

    nicer in general to other people

    and focussing a lot more on your

    religion.

    Theres a real sense of

    achievement at the end of it all.

    Discipline

    Mr Vernon, who is now engaged

    to another Muslim, attends the

    Tallow Hill mosque in Worcester.

    Last year, he observed prayers

    and also read a lot during themonth of Ramadan.

    I also I did all the fasting but the

    difference this year is (there was)

    a lot more self reection religiously

    Fasting means no liquids and no

    food and Mr Vernon said last year

    he also quit smoking on the rst

    day of Ramadan.

    He said he found maintaining a

    job while fasting was challenging.

    I was breaking fast very late and

    getting up extremely early - I got

    quite irritable.

    Observing at home and at

    mosque is easier to do but at work

    you seem to get distracted - it doestake a bit of discipline but it does

    seem more spiritual.

    Its not easy but I think the

    benets overtake anything else.

    and going to the mosque and

    breaking fast with fellow Muslims,

    he said.

    The Islam calendar is divided

    into lunar months and Ramadan

    falls in the ninth.

    Omani delegation led by H.E. Mr. Ahmed Yousuf Al Harthi, Deputy Minister of

    Foreign Affairs, Sultanate of Oman alongwith Ambassador of Oman to India called

    on Honble Minister of State for External Affairs, Mr. E. Ahamed today (19.9.2011)

    in South Block, New Delhi.

    ABDUL RAHMAN M.P.,Pleads to open Kendra

    Vidhyalaya in Vellore

    Solution to worldproblems possible

    through ijtehad onlyChairman of Institute of Objective Studies (IOS),

    Dr. Manzoor Alam said while talking to mediapersons that the

    solution to challenges and problems being faced by the world

    can be found through deep study of Quran and Hadith, and

    this is possible only through ijtehad i.e., proper interpretation

    of Quranic commands, verses etc. but, he said, in todays times

    of knowledge explosion this task can be better performed by

    collective efforts, rather than by individual efforts. He said that

    God has not made the world static but mutative and changing

    and consequently, with changing times, new problems and

    requirements also crop up and will continue to crop up. Now

    we cannot approach any prophet to seek guidance or solution

    of our problems and difculties but yes, solutions lie in Quran

    and Hadiths of Prophet (Peace be upon him) which can be found

    by deeply studying and correctly understanding them. He said

    that in todays world science and knowledge have become so

    exhaustive and complicated that it is not possible for a single

    intellectual or scholar to master all elds of knowledge. Hence

    the intellectuals, ulama and experts should jointly perform the

    task of ijtehaad. It should be claried in this connection that

    ijtehaad too should be within the framework of Quran and

    hadiths, and not beyond their scope. In reply to a question as

    to how unanimous ijtehaad is possible when even on minor

    matters ulama and intellectuals seldom are unanimous and all

    hold different views, Dr. Alam said that conditions are changing

    and now ulama and intellectuals of different schools of thought

    have started coming together on one platform. Western

    educated people of modern outlook are developing the feeling

    of understanding religion and ulama too want to know and

    understand modern sciences. He further said that efforts being

    made by IOS in this connection have started bearing fruits. He

    said IOS which has completed 25 years of its existence, had

    organised an international conference on ijtehaad in its early

    years. He also said that Islam does not preach intellectual,

    physical, economic, social, educational, national, international

    or any other kind of slavery and considers man as the best

    and greatest of all Gods creations and men of the faith have

    been given the responsibility of liberating man of all kinds of

    slavery and present an alternative system under which every

    one should be able to decide whether he should lead his life

    according to the principles ordained by God or in his own

    misguided ways.

    About his organisation, Alam said that IOS which was started

    on 13 April 1986 has now developed into a towering tree and in

    view of the review and research work it has done and is doing

    in different elds of life, it can undoubtedly be considered a

    valuable asset of the community and nation. He said that the

    information provided by IOS to Sachar Committee had played

    an important role in the preparation of its report. In addition to

    this, he said, bringing together ulama, experts and intellectuals

    on a single platform and laying down future strategy and action

    programme has been its fundamental objective.

    THE TIMES OF LEAGUE5

    September - 2011

    In Tamilnadu every political

    party has its own Thalapathi-

    Commender, the IUML in

    Tamilnadu nds its Thalapathi in

    the young K.A.M Abubacker. When

    many present ofce bearers of the

    party have wavered, maneuvered,

    faulted and altered their loyalty,

    K.A.M Abubacker followed the

    IUML leadership right from Sirajul

    Millath A.K.A Abdul Samad Sahib

    down to the present leadership

    Muneerul Millath Prof: K.M KhaderMohideen with unswering loyalty

    and dedication that is rarely found

    in the treacherous political eld. He

    knows no other party than IUML

    and he accepts no other leadership

    than IUML leadership. He started

    his political career two decades

    ago as a Youth Leaguer,stepped to

    the MSF organaizor and labored to

    reach the present position in the

    party.

    The party President Prof: K.M

    TN IUML election 2011-The Young Thalapathi K.A.M Abubacker

    to continue as party General Secretary

    Khader Mohideen found this raw

    diamond in the IUML ofce in

    Chennai,picked him up,cut the

    corners of the raw diamond and

    gifted to the party as a glowing

    valuable diamond. By his hardwork,

    total commitment and dedication,

    he has endeared himself to

    the Party National President

    E.Ahamed and the State President

    Prof. K.M.Khader Mohideen. He is

    fondly called by his colleagues in

    the party as YOUNG THALAPTHI.

    The party leadership always

    esteems his valuable service and

    often talks high of him in private

    and public.

    Abubacker belongs to Kayalpati

    nam in Tuticorin district, Tamilnadu,

    a cultural and commercial center

    of Tamil muslims. He hails from an

    illustrious family whose ancestry

    has links with Egyptian Arabs.

    His Arab origin can be guessed

    from his glowing red face with

    charactrastic, Arab Sheik style well

    trimmed short beard on his lower jaw. His family had a lucrative

    diamond trade in many countries

    of the world, but it did not charm

    the young Abubacker who left the

    trade and landed in the humble

    house of service in the IUML. He

    had his schooling in Mohideen

    Matric Higher Secondary School

    in Kayalpatinam, which was

    inaugurated by the IUML Leader

    and then the Chief Minister of

    Kerala C.H. Mohamed Koya is to be

    noted. He is a B.Sc., (Chemistry)

    graduate from Chennai New Collegeand he never lags behind in his

    temporal and religious duties. His

    sweet pleasant brief conversation,

    his happy companionship, his

    congenial temperament, his

    adoptability to adverse situation,

    his quick judgement of the people,

    his etiquette and his equanimity

    are all his plus points in the

    muslim politics. K.A.M Abubacker

    spends most of his times with

    the IUML headquarters Quaid-E-

    Millath Manzil Chennai. His criticsnds fault in him that the General

    Secretary of the party is always

    seen perched on his seat in the

    party ofce.This uncomplementory

    comment is far from the truth and

    the General Secretary Abubacker

    knows well that a ship is build

    not to be anchored on the harbor

    always but to sail on the rough sea

    and face tha storm.

    Bidar is a historic town in

    Southern India and has a host of

    historical monuments.

    Though located in Karnataka,

    the district borders Andhra Pradesh

    and is quite close to Maharashtra.

    As a result, Urdu, Marathi and

    Kannada are the major languages

    spoken here. It has been ruled by

    Chalukyas, Kakatiyas, then Hasan

    Gangu and Bahmani Sultans until

    it became a dominion of the Asif

    Jahi dynasty--under the Nizam of

    Hyderabad--till independence.

    The chaubara is basically a

    watch tower cum clock tower. In

    olden days, from its top one could

    get a view of the entire town. The

    imposing cylindrical tower in the

    heart of the town attracts the new

    comes to the town. More so, as it

    is not much known outside.

    Though Bidar has no dearth of

    historical monuments including

    the fort and the great madarsa

    established by Mahmood Gawan

    The Chaubara structure in Bidar (Karnataka)

    Inaguration of IETE Students Forum and Seminar on

    Recent trends in Mobile and Wireless Communications in M.A.M. College.

    [the Mughal governor of Bijapur during

    Humayuns reign], it is still not a major tourist

    destination. Though there have been some

    efforts to clear encroachments around, no

    serious step has been taken to preserve this

    unique structure as yet.

    Located just around 120 km from Hyderabad,

    Bidars language also has a Deccani inuence.

    The place is also well-known for the Bidri work.

    The fort was constructed in 1428 by AhmadWali who named it Ahmadabad-Bidar Fort.

    Temple constructed by AurangzebMughal Emperor Aurangzeb had constructed a huge temple in

    Chitrakut (Uttar Pradesh) and made arrangement for the bhog at this

    temple for generations. Many historians consider Aurangzeb as the

    most bigot emperor.

    However, the old arrangement continues till date. Nearly 323 years

    back Aurangzeb Alamgir had issued a rman as per which 8 villages

    (330 bighas of land) were allotted for the upkeep of the temple besides

    Re 1 every day from the government fund.

    Mahant Balram Das of the temple is in possession of the rmaan

    that was written on brass plate and issued on 19th of Islamic month

    of Ramzan. As per the decree Sant Balak Das of Allahabads Kalinjar

    parganas Chitrakoot was given 330 bighas of land without any lagaan.

    The temple is now in a poor state despite enormous funds at the

    disposal. The discord amongst Mahants has led to the situation, say

    locals.

    Interestingly, Aurangzeb had not only got the temple constructed but

    also wrote the order of rajbhog, himself. The land adjoining the Balaji

    temple has been encroached by musclemen and the inghting amongst

    the temple committee has hit the structure, which is crumbling, says

    the District Magistrate, Chitrakot.

    KALEIDOSCOPE

    Yoga a cure for types

    of diabetesGentle yoga classes may help

    people with type two diabetes take

    off a small amount of weight and

    steady their blood sugar control, a

    small study suggests.

    Sachar

    Recommendations

    put in Ice-Box

    Sachar Panel Members fear that

    their recommendations suggestedby the Sachar Committee to uplift

    Muslims on social, educational

    and economic fronts may not get

    implemented because of lack of

    will on the part of the Government

    and the procedures followed to

    implement it.

    Almost ve years have passed

    by after the Sachar Committee

    submitted its over view on the

    plight of Muslims but nothing

    seems to have been done

    substantially on the groundtowards implementing Sachars

    Recommendations. Justice Sachar

    who was instrumental in drafting

    the report, is hurt to nd that

    the government once praised for

    setting up the committee in the year

    2005 has so far failed to implement

    its main recommendations has

    suggested by the committee. The

    Syeda Hameed, Planning Commi

    ssion Member has been given

    the responsibility to monitor the

    implementation of the report a

    couple of months ago . Surprisingly

    the Monitoring Committee has met

    only once.

    Dr.Rakesh Basant who is an

    economist believes that the

    decision of the government to

    make minority affairs ministry a

    nodal agency in implementing the

    recommendations was a mistake

    as most of the programmes are

    meant for all under privileged

    groups including Muslims and for

    that matter a general ministry

    like home or nance could serve

    the purpose in amore effective

    manner. Shariff is of the view that

    Ministry of Finance has to make

    sure that Muslims businesses canavail loans easily without any

    hassle. He further questioned as to

    how Muslims in need of loans can

    look forward towards the National

    Minority Development Fund.

    Another report nds that Public

    sector banks have failed to comply

    with the goverments order aimed

    to improve the economic condition

    of the Muslims by increasing

    the share of lending to minority

    communities to 15% of priority

    sector loans by March 2011. Itreveals that the problem faced by

    an individual to get loans from the

    concern department because of

    lack of will to facilitate a smooth

    transaction.

    $80 billion to hunt

    down Al-Qaida

    Ground the U.S drone war

    pursue Al-Qaida. Forget chasing

    terrorists in Yemen and Somalia,

    unless the local governments are

    willing to join in hunt. Those are

    not the words of some human

    rights activist, are some far-left

    congress man. They are from the

    retired admiral and former Director

    of National Intelligence Dennis

    Blair-the man who was until,recently nominally in charge of

    the entire American effort to nd,

    track, and take out terrorists. Now,

    he is calling for that campaign to

    be reconsiderd,and possibly even

    junked.

    Starting with the drone attacks.

    Yes, the take out some mid-level

    terrorists, Blair said. But they are

    not strategically effective. If the

    drones stopped ying tomorrow,

    Blair told the audience at the Aspen

    Security Forum, It is not going

    to lower the threat to the U.S. Al-

    Qaida and its allies hane proven

    It can sustain its level of resistance

    to an air-only campaign,he said.

    He noted that the U.S. intelli

    gence and home land security

    communities are spending about

    $ 80 billion a year, out side of

    Afganistan and Pakistan. Yet

    Al-Qaida and its afliates only have

    about 4000 members world wide.

    That is $ 20 million per terrorist

    per year, Blair pointed out.

    Blair mentioned that 17 Americans have been killed on U.S. soil

    by terrorists since 9/11- 14 of

    them in the Ft.Hood massacre.

    Meanwhile, auto accidents, mur

    ders and rapes combined have

    killed an estimated 1.5 million

    people in the past decade. what

    is it that justies this amount of

    money on this narrow problem?

    The study, of 123 middle aged

    and older adults found that those

    who added yoga classes to standard

    diabetes care shed a handful of

    pounds over three months . Mean-

    while, their average blood sugar

    levels held steady in contrast tothe non-yoga- practicing

    control group, whose blood

    sugar levels rose.

    The ndings, reported in the

    journal Diabetes Care, do not

    suggest that yoga should replace

    other forms of exercise for people

    with type 2 diabetes a disease

    commonly associate with obesity.

    To really lose weight and rein

    in blood sugar, more vigorous

    exercise would work better, accor

    ding to Shree Laxmi V.Hegde of

    the Srinivas Institute of Medical

    Science and Research Centre in

    Mangalore.

    In our study the effect of yoga

    on BMI (body mass index) and

    blood sugar control was marginal,

    said Hegde, the lead researcher on

    the study.

    But, she added, it should be

    noted that yoga controlled the

    blood sugar levels which otherwise

    rose in the control group.

    In addition to that, the study

    found , signs of so-called oxidative

    stress declined in the yoga group.

    main recommendations according

    to him were to set up Equal

    Opportunities Commission and the

    Diversity Index. This was done so

    as to extract more funds from the

    UGC to benet varied institutions

    not exclusively only for Muslims

    but also for other set of social

    groups in India.

    Abusaleh shariff another Panel

    Member is dejected by the fact

    that the government instead of

    trying to encourage Muslims into

    the mainstream it is specifying

    Muslims which is in contrast to

    the recommendation of the report.

    For example the government is

    only eager to modernize Madrasas

    where roughly 4% of Muslims

    get education and hardly talks ofbenet of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan

    to be extended to Muslims on the

    lines of the recommendation for

    mainstreaming Muslims.

    tamilnadu Unit Prof: K.M.KhaderMohideen and other ofce bearers.

    He was kind enough to give an

    interview to the Associate Editor of

    the Monthly K.T.Kizar Muhammad.

    K.T.K : Would you mind to tellme the purpose of your visit to

    Chennai?

    Siraj Saitt: Party work only.Party work is the work for the

    community and the work for the

    community is service to Allah.

    K.T.K: The Indian NationalLeague has merged with IUML

    in kerala. But still some people

    in Tamilnadu functions under the

    Siraj Saitt: I stress thatIUML is the sole representative

    of the Indian muslim community

    and i desire all those who have

    gone away on some reasons or

    the other must come back to

    mother organization the IUML.

    The Kerala election proved that

    unity is the strength- it has givena psychological boostings to each

    and every muslim. The majority

    of the muslims voted enblock for

    the IUML and its alliance partners.

    This proves our claim that IUML is

    the sole representative body of the

    muslim community.

    K.T.K: Do you have any idea topublish the parliamentary speeches

    of your father Sulaiman Saitt sahib

    in the form of books or CDs?

    Siraj Saitt: My father served asa parliamentarian for 38 years that

    is 8 terms as Loksabha Member

    and one term as Rajyasabha

    Member. He continued to be a

    parliamentarian from 1960 to 1998

    with out break. His parliamentary

    speeches were written in malayalm

    by The Chief Editor of Chandrika

    Malayalam Daily Mr. T.P Cheruppaand the speeches were already

    published. We will try to translate

    his speeches in Tamil and Urdu.

    K.T.K: Your father hadestablished a good rapport with

    the people of north India and

    worked hard for the cause of the

    party in the northern belt. Do you

    have any scheme to continue his

    link and to develop the party in the

    northern belt?

    Siraj Saitt: Insha Allah, weshall spare no effort to work for the

    growth of the party in the northern

    belt and very soon the party will

    decide who will rule this country.

    K.T.K: Thank you sir.

    10THE TIMES OF LEAGUE

    September - 2011

    The Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) has decided to stick to its

    demand for a fth slot in the Oommen Chandy Cabinet, but resolved

    to put the controversy over its choice of the Vice-Chancellorship of theUniversity of Calicut behind it by withdrawing its original nominee.

    The State secretariat of the IUML, which met here on Sunday, decided to

    remain rm on its demand for a fth Ministerial berth in the government,

    but without setting any time limit for achieving the partys demand. The

    party secretariat left it to the Chief Minister and the United Democratic

    Front (UDF) leadership to take a nal decision on the matter.

    The IUML demand also got a boost with Kerala Congress (M) chairman

    and Finance Minister K.M. Mani telling reporters in New Delhi on Sunday

    that his party had no objection to the IUML being given an additional

    Cabinet berth. The party had hoped to get one more Ministerial berth.

    However, now that it had been given the Chief Whips post, there was

    no question of his party raising any further demand, Mr. Mani said.

    Clarifying the party stand on the issue, IUML State unit general secretary

    E.T. Mohammed Basheer said, We have not set any time limit for

    consideration of our demand.

    Referring to the controversy over the partys choice for Vice-

    Chancellorship, Mr. Basheer said the party was seriously concerned

    about the controversy following misleading reports that appeared in a

    section of the press about the issue, which he said had nothing to do

    with facts.The IUML Legislature Party leader and the Education Minister had

    been asked to propose an academically competent person for the post,

    Mr. Basheer said. The IUML had reportedly suggested the name of V.P.

    Abdul Hameed, a retired schoolteacher, for the post.

    Monday night and Tuesday, Aug-29-30, three international heavyweights - Russia, the Europ ean Union and key Muslim nations gave

    Syrian President Bashar Assad tough ultimatums for ending his ferocious

    crackdown on protest.Nevertheless, on Monday, his troops shot dead 17 people in Syrian

    cities - even as he received Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail

    Bogdanov who arrived in Damascus with a last warning from President

    Dmitry Medvedev: Recall you soldiers to their bases immediately and

    implement changes or Moscow will endorse UN Security Council sanctions

    stiff enough to stie the Syrian economy.

    Those sanctions are only a step away from a resolution authorizing

    NATO, together with Muslim and Arab nations, to intervene militarily in

    the Syrian crisis.

    debkales military and intelli gence sources disclose that Turkey, as

    a NATO member, and Saudi Arabia, on behalf of the Gulf Cooperation

    Council, have been in discussions this past week on the form this

    intervention would take:

    1. The long-considered Turkish plan to send troops into northern

    Syria and carve out a military pocket from which Syrias rebels would be

    supplied with military, logistic and medical aid.

    2. Ankara and Riyadh will provide the anti-Assad movements with

    large quantities of weapons and funds to be smuggled in from outside

    Syria.

    3. The Turkish military incursion would be matched by Saudi troops

    entering southern Syria at the head of GCC contingents. They would

    move in via Jordan and establish a second military enclave under GCC

    auspices.

    The third option came up in Tehran last Thursday, Aug. 25, when

    Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad heard some straight talk from

    the visiting Emir of Qatar Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani.

    debkales exclusive Iranian sources reveal that the Qatari rulerslapped down a blunt warning: Assad was nished, he said, and advised

    Iran to face up to this. For the sake of even minimal relations with

    the Arab world, Iran must ditch the Assad regime in Damascus or face

    the real danger of the Syrian crisis deteriorating into a regional conict

    whether against Syria or by Syria, he did not explain.

    Ahmadinejad turned the emir down at, according to our sources. He

    said Iran would never renege on its pact with Assad.

    Two days later, our military sources report, Syria deployed 25 anti-air

    missile batteries along its Turkish border.

    In Brussels, Monday, the 27-member European Union bowed toWashingtons demand and nally decided to corner Assad by clamping

    down an embargo on imported Syrian crude.

    Europe is the biggest buyer of Syrian oil, importing $ 4.5 billion worth

    a year. This provides Syria with its main source of foreign currency

    revenue and the primary funding for Assads military operations against

    dissidents.

    Once this source dries up, the Syrian ruler will be forced to cut down

    on those operations unless Iran is willing to make up the difference.

    Assad is sure to appreciate that the coalition lining up against him of

    the US, Europe, Turkey, the Gulf Arab nations and Russia, are almost

    identical to the alignment (barring Moscow) which has just overthrown

    Muammar Qaddas regime in Tripoli.

    He and his advisers have no doubt discussed the possibility of being

    at the receiving end of the same treatment.Their rulers growing isolation and the real prospect of international

    punitive measures have given the opposition new heart after nearly six

    months of standing up to a deadly crackdown: Saturday, Aug. 27 Assad

    saw his own capital rallying against him with big demonstrations in

    central Damascus. The pressure from the street continued to build up

    through Sunday and Monday, some of the protesters venturing to hoist

    the old Syrian Republican ag instead of the Baathist version introduced

    by the Assads.

    Aleppo is now the only Syrian city which has not so far come out

    against the regime. Tuesday morning, while Assad attended an Eid al-

    Fitr worship at a Damascus mosque, his soldiers sprayed demonstrators

    in the eastern town of Deir al-Zour with bullets.

    Well-informed military sources warn that Assad will not be cowed by

    the international, military and economic noose tightening around his

    neck. He is far more likely to try and loosen it by lashing out against his

    THE TIMES OF LEAGUE11

    September - 2011

    We as a nation would beproudly celebrating the 64th

    Independence of our countryduring this month. On this historic

    occasion, Indians at every forum

    try to recall the sacrices made by

    the freedom ghters from all walks

    of Life. But unfortunately, because

    of our narrow approach and a

    prejudiced view, not all people are

    equally highlighted in the history

    and even in todays media. Our

    unfair historians have given an

    impression that Muslim community

    has not contributed much to thefreedom struggle. Hence let us

    turn back to the pages of history to

    nd out the truth, about sacrices

    of our Muslim revolutionaries.

    How many Indians today

    know Khan Abdul Ghaffar

    Khan (Frontier Gandhi) a great

    nationalist who spent 45 years of

    his life in jail for the freedom of

    India. Let us also recall the sacrice

    of Barkatullah of Bhopal, one of

    the founders of Ghadar party,

    who created a network of anti-

    British organizations and who died

    penniless in Germany in 1927.

    Syed Rahmath Shah of

    Ghader party, who worked as

    an underground revolutionary in

    France was hanged for his part in

    the unsuccessful Ghadar uprising

    in 1915.

    Ali Ahmed Siddiqui of Faizabad

    (Uttar Pradesh) who planned the

    Indian Mutiny in Malaya and

    Burma was hanged in 1917.

    Umar Subhani an industrialist

    and a millionaire of Bombay

    who presented blank cheque to

    Gandhiji for congress expenses

    and who ultimately gave his life for

    the cause of independence.

    Mohammed Basheer, Khuda

    Baksh, A Zakaria, Allah Nawaz,

    Abdul Aziz, and tens of thousands

    of such revolutionaries have

    been ignored, The History book

    Qaiseral Tawarikh mentions thenumber of Muslims executed in

    Delhi alone during 1857-58 was

    27000, excluding those killed in

    general massacre.

    What price Freedom?By Habibulla Khan

    Some of our historians have

    made allegations that Muslims

    in general have a tendency of

    separatism and do not love India

    as their mother land. The answer to

    this is our own TIGER of Mysore

    Tippu Sultan who died in the battle

    eld defending his own country.

    At a time when most of the

    Indian rulers were incapable of

    understanding the consequences of

    the rise of British, Tippu Sultan haddeveloped a world consciousness.

    He had sent envoys to turkey in

    1784-85 to France in1787-88, to

    Zaman shah of Afghanistan in 1876

    and in 1799 which was intercepted

    by British.

    Tippu Sultan was a champion

    of Hindu- Muslim unity. The

    archaeological Department of

    the Government of Mysore still

    preserves his thirty letters written

    to Shankarcharya of Shringeri

    Mutt, a great saint of his time,

    reverentially begging to him to

    return to his state and pray for

    his success in ghting against the

    foreigners.

    Dr. R.C. Majundar says of all the

    Indian ruling princess of this period,

    Hyder Ali and his son Tippu Sultan

    were the most uncompromising

    opponents of the growth of British

    Political power

    Gandhiji in one of his articles

    calls Tippu as a greatest martyr of

    Indian freedom.

    Maulana Abul Kalam Azad in

    one of his foreword writes. The

    revolt against British scarcely had

    any tinge of communalism, in their

    struggle for freedom both Hindusand Muslims stood shoulder to

    shoulder with the single object

    of liberating themselves from the

    British oppression.

    During the rst independence

    revolt of 1857, in Kanpur region,

    it was Nana Sahib and Azimullah

    who raised the banner of revolt.

    In Delhi, during the same period,

    Moulana Fazl-e-Haq Khairabadi

    who was an inuential Moulvi,

    had addressed a congregation of

    Muslims in Jamia Masjid and gave

    a Fatwa (religious decree) to ght

    the British. When the revolt against

    British in Delhi was defeated,

    one of the British ofcers wrote

    Hundreds of Ulema were blown

    by cannons while thousands were

    hanged and others deported to

    Andaman Island. Among the rst

    batch of persons to arrive at the

    Andaman were well-known Moulvis

    like Mufti Mazhar Kareem of Delhi

    and Munshi Inayat Ahamed of

    Lucknow.

    These are just a few instances

    I have quoted which is just a tip

    of the iceberg from the pages

    of History. Now I would like to

    put forth a few questions to our

    learned critics, biased historians,

    and intellectuals the following.

    a) Are these facts not enough

    to acknowledge that Muslims have

    equally contributed to the freedom

    struggle?

    b) Just by closing the eyes, do

    they think, they can change the

    facts of history?

    c) Are we really following the

    principles of secularism by ignoring

    a particular section whereas

    highlighting the other sections?

    d) Is this not the path of

    Divide & Rule policy which was

    followed by British tyrants who in

    turn destroyed the original Indian

    culture of mutual respect?

    e) Is this tendency of hatred

    not dangerous to the future of this

    country?

    f) Are these so-called Intellectuals not interested to see this

    country progress and prosper as a

    single nation?

    g) Have they forgotten our own

    mantra of Unity in Diversity?

    Finally, let us all sit together with

    an unbiased mind and agree that all

    sections have equally contributed

    to the freedom of this country.

    Let good sense prevail and we

    appeal to all our like minded, right

    thinking citizens to come forwardand prove these critics wrong.

    Let us nally pray that God give

    the right guidance and wisdom

    to all Indians and let this country

    progress and prosper to become

    one of the greatest nations of the

    world.
