coffee_rules Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 http://op-talk.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/10/16/why-indias-muslims-havent-radicalized/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0 “A combination of factors explains it,” reads an editorial in The Economist. Religious intermingling has roots that run deep in India: “Islam in South Asia has a long history, over 1,000 years, but was long dominated by Sufis who integrated closely with non-Muslim Hindus, sharing many cultural practices.” The Taj Mahal, arguably the most globally recognizable structure in India, was built by the Muslim Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, in memory of Mumtaz Mahal, his beloved wife who died in childbirth. Shah Jahan was himself the son of a Muslim father and a Hindu mother, the Emperor Jahangir and his wife, the Rajput princess Taj Bibi Bilqis Makani. But she was not a practicing Hindu. “The fact that Indian Muslims have stood up in this way is surely due, in part, to the fact that they live in, are the product of and feel empowered by a democratic and pluralistic society,” Mr. Friedman explained. “They are not intimidated by extremist religious leaders and are not afraid to speak out against religious extremism in their midst. It is why so few, if any, Indian Muslims are known to have joined Al Qaeda.” The recent election of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a Hindu nationalist, has put a significant portion of India’s Muslim community on edge. There are concerns that Mr. Modi’s personal devotions to Hindu identity may undermine New Delhi’s commitment to the national ideology of pluralism. “But his promise to treat the secular constitution as his ‘bible’ helps to put a limit on anxiety,” according to The Economist. Still, the “swift decay” of Indian pluralism is palpable to some. Mr. Mishra claims this is attributable to a fantasy of “disloyal Muslims” some harbor in New Delhi — stemming from the country’s fraught relationship with its neighbor to the west, the majority-Muslim Pakistan, and its long simmering conflict with Muslim separatists in the northern region of Kashmir. From NYT, a good view after a while.
gslv Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Who says they didn't.just look 1991 pandit exodus. Many of them have, most didn't. Their world view is same as most Muslims all over the world. Remember riot over rohingya Muslim.
Khalpat Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Because they are not in majority and Indian Constitution has not allowed them to go on that path.
Number Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Because so far wahabism had limited presence in India.
adi B Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 Because they are not in majority and Indian Constitution has not allowed them to go on that path. agree
someone Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Have you been following the current news in West Bengal? It's a hotbed for radicalization. Or check some recent incidents during Diwali or see the MIM's slogans in MH. The intolerance and aggressiveness is increasing big time. Yet, the real issue is it is all done under burqa of secularism. Mainsteam media are very quiet on such acts and incidents.
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 wrong heading. India is not terrorism or radicalization free. Did you read about the Google employee running to join ISIS or Burdwan issue? And we had a whole big partition in the name of Islam
Tiger80 Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 http://op-talk.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/10/16/why-indias-muslims-havent-radicalized/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=0 But she was not a practicing Hindu. From NYT, a good view after a while. The person who wrote this article is really living in his wonder land.He forgot that Pakistani muslims are also product of Indian Sufi Islam. In 1946 almost 90% of Indian muslims of undivided India voted for muslim league which was demanding that muslims should not live with Hindu's.Neither in Pakistan nor in Bangladesh they gave fair treatment to minority religions.In India they are majority in one part of state and there too they kicked out minority hindus.

gslv Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 I believe another partition is coming. There will be no place for dharmik faiths after 30 yr or so. The mohammadan population is exploding and mind you when they are in majority secularism goes out of window.
gslv Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Those ppl who are still thinking that muslims will treat you fairly when they are in majority see London south France and various European countries. There are already sharia zone. As Richard Dawkins said it is a clash of civilization. The winter is coming.
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Not only that, India also had some radicalized pseculars :hysterical:
Mariyam Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 wrong heading. India is not terrorism or radicalization free. Did you read about the Google running to join ISIS or Burdwan issue? And we had a whole big partition in the name of Islam Google joining ISIS? Is that a strategic merger or a hostile takeover?
randomGuy Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Google joining ISIS? Is that a strategic merger or a hostile takeover? Do lawyer also have to study Mergers and Acquisitions? cool.
Yoda-esque Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Shahi Imam invites Sharif, not Modi for son's anointment http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Delhis-Jama-Masjid-Shahi-Imam-invites-Pak-PM-Sharif-not-PM-Modi-for-sons-anointment/articleshow/44982252.cms via @timesofindia
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Google joining ISIS? Is that a strategic merger or a hostile takeover? google employee whose religion is Islam. corrected
gslv Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 They will burn a thousand house and ppl over drawing of a dead man but will remain comparatively silent over death and conversion of yezidis. Yeah it is a peaceful religion. They'll first migrate and when in sizeable no will enforce that 7th century sharia. That is peaceful. How many times that khujli held a candle march against ISIS.tell me when indian Hindus and other dharmic faith were asked during partition whether they want to live with muslims or not. According to me first fault of indian union is leftist history books in schools. They instilled all the defeating mentality among Indians. There is no comparative data on south indian kings who ruled same mass of India as Mughal. But yeah Mughal are better so they get 30 page while south indian kings get half a paragraph.
Shunya Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Shahi Imam invites Sharif, not Modi for son's anointment http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Delhis-Jama-Masjid-Shahi-Imam-invites-Pak-PM-Sharif-not-PM-Modi-for-sons-anointment/articleshow/44982252.cms via @timesofindia Big blow to Modi :giggle:
