Endorsing the views of the Russian Communist Party that the USA is not a “trustworthy financial leader”, Russian Prime Minister Mr Vladimir Putin today said that America, hit by a financial turmoil, could never regain its status in the global market.
“Trust in the United States as the leader of the free world and free economy, and the trust in the Wall Street as the centre of this trust has been lost, and I believe, for ever. Return to the previous situation will not be possible any more,” Mr Putin said at his meeting here with the Communist lawmakers.
“This is not only my view. European leaders, experts, presidents of central banks and finance ministers also directly or indirectly saying this,” Mr Putin said in his televised remarks.
The leadership of the Russian Communist Party was \`absolutely right\` in the assessment that the USA is “not a trustworthy\` financial leader of the world”, Mr Putin said.
He had last week blamed the USA for displaying “irresponsibility and failure to take adequate measures” at the time of snowballing global financial crisis.

I think what made a difference was the fact that Gujarat has been able to define the land and give us the possession. Land is the main thing that takes much time. Gujarat has done it in an unbelievably fast manner and given all approvals and permissions with great speed. You know if it were possible to transport or move the plant in a day we could have been in business the next day at this location in Gujarat. But we are not dealing with something that can be moved in a day.
We were in Gujarat even at that time as we have Tata Chemicals here. But we didn\`t talk of this project at that time, although I think Mr Modi told me jokingly, \"You are having trouble there. You come here and I will give you everything.\" Now, we are here, as luck would have it.
The people who have made this issue of land-for-land — will they prosper? Has anything been done to increase their yeilds, their income levels? Many of them are below subsistence levels — they say so themselves. On the one hand, they talk of drinking their money away or not having money, and on the other hand, they talk of having their land back. I mean are we doing anything to improve their lot? These are the questions that come to my mind. So, political opposition should hold the country first and not themselves. That\`s all I am saying. - RATAN TATA

Sarosh Shaikh, whose mother is a dedicated teacher in Ahmedabad, says, “In my childhood, I used to go to gardens to play with my friends at the time of Gauri Vrat, I used to do Garba wearing Chaniya Choli, but now I don’t know how I can make my daughter understand these things.” Sufiyan, 36, is a devout Muslim and an owner of a discotheque in Lucknow. He organises the annual beauty pageant of ‘Miss Lucknow’ through his event management company, ‘Rampage’.
“I am equally comfortable when I order my waiters to serve drinks at the pub soon after I have done ‘iftar’ with my family,” says the suave Sufiyan. “There is no conflict between the two parts of my life. I don’t drink myself and I do nothing which violates Islam or is against the basic ethics of business. Some people have told me that as a Muslim I should not be in this business. But as long as I earn my living honourably, I don’t see why anybody should raise a finger,” he says confidently.
Confident and diffident, sad and hopeful, with great faith in Islam and with respect for other faiths, Muslims in India are fighting the silent battle against demons inside the community and around them. That is the heroic story of ordinary Muslims.

Invisible Muslims: their fears and dreams...............

Inamullah Sheikh, 59, a civil contractor in Bandra (West) expresses the common frustration felt by ordinary Muslims after terror attacks and bomb blasts: “The community on the whole has nothing to do with the terrorists. It just happens that all those who are caught are Muslims. A few members of the community get involved in such crimes for money and the entire community is labelled as terrorist.”
But he does not despair. He believes that in Mumbai, people stand up for each other across the religious divides. “Despite all odds, people here stand up for each other when in need”, he says. And there is the touching loyalty that many Mumbaikars feel for the city: “We earn our bread and butter in this city. I want to live my life in peace along with people from other communities.”
SGA Zaidi of Rizvi College of Arts, Science and Commerce feels that things began to change for Muslims after the demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992. Zaidi, who moved to Mumbai from Madhya Pradesh in 1980, says, “”When I joined the teaching community, the scenario was entirely different. The changes started after the demolition, when the first seeds of distrust were sown.”
The younger generation feels a sense of hurt much more intensely, which can be seen in the heartfelt complaint of Zaidi’s daughter, Shameela, who works as a human resources professional, “Most of my friends are Hindus or Christians. I know the Gayatri Mantra by heart, but none of my friends know even a verse from the Holy Quran.” That is not a charge that anyone from the other side can dispute easily.
Zaidi points to the wide communication gap between Hindus and Muslims. He says, “Many believe that Roza is a form of feasting after dusk. Roza is observed so that we, the privileged ones, know the pains of hunger and develop empathy towards the less fortunate. We donate alms in the form of food to the poor at the end of Roza.” Now that is a meaning that escapes most people, even among Muslims.
Khan Abdus Samee, 34, a teacher living in Dockyard Road in a joint family which had been there for 70 years, has no illusions about the prejudices that Muslims face every day. “By and large, Muslim students are ‘odd men out’ in the classrooms. They are called ‘landiya’ even by teachers, and a Muslim student with incomplete homework is treated differently. Tum Muslim log sote late ho, uthte late ho, to homework kahase hoga (You Muslims sleep late and wake up late, so how will the homework get done?),’ are taunts one of my relatives faced in a convent school in Andheri,” Samee says.
What goes unnoticed in the profiling of Muslims is the deep religious faith that shapes their humane outlook. Mohammed Ibrahim, 32, in Kochi belongs to a big family. He dreamt of becoming a chartered accountant because he was fascinated by numbers. But today he works hard, transporting fish from the Kochi harbour, and when that is done he drives a bus.
Ibrahim has his life’s rules right and simple: “Our family has a huge financial commitment. That’s why I work day and night. I don’t want to earn through any means, such as killing people, because I’m afraid of God. If you read the Quran, you can’t wage any battle.”
And it is religion that gives the strength and solace in his life. He confesses: “I too was a short-tempered youth. But life has taught me its lessons. I know patience pays. The Friday prayer at the masjid gives me inspiration. Imams are knowledgeable people. They tell us to be sympathetic to others.”
Yusuf Khan Pathan, a lawyer in Ahmedabad, is at pains to explain that Islam and terrorism and violence are poles apart. He explains: “Islam is derived from the word ‘salaam’ which means peace. It is a religion of peace whose fundamentals teach its followers to maintain and promote peace throughout the world.”
Hussainbhai, 42, an autorickshaw driver, is worried about the lack of communication between the communities: “The situation is getting darker. Children of this age do not know much about each other. They do not have friends from other communities in their formative years. Neither are they exposed to the families. In short, there is hardly any personal rapport with those in the other community, which is dangerous.”
Nausheen Noorullah Syed, 23, an employee in a central government in office in Ahmedabad, worries that because of the negative image of the community, it becomes difficult for other communities to accept and interact with ordinary Muslims.
Nausheen feels sad about the fact that she grew up in the Mirzapur and Shahpur areas of Ahmedabad where there is no access to a spacious park or other public place she could visit with her cousins. What she remembers is of having played with them in the small space in front of the house in the congested lanes and bylanes. As she grew older, she was asked to remain indoors and bide her time doing craftwork and reading literature. It is a forced retreat into claustrophobic spaces.

Danish should remember the sorry plight of Indian Muslims are due to following reasons:
1. They do not control child birth. A normal Muslim family has 5 children. With meagre income, how parents can bring them up properly and how the children could be controlled as they grow up?
2. Due to large family size, Muslim children can not take better education. When the mother is not educated, the children do not have inclination for education.
3. Muslim woman has very little say in the family matters.
As far as Hindus are concerned, he should note following things:
1. Their response is reactive. Hindus are most tolerant community. They accepted division of India and gave equal rights to Muslims who stayed here. Hindus gave inportance to education. Nobody stopped Muslims for that matter. It was their choice to lead life in the way they wanted.
2. Muslims who have done well in education or art or sport are welcomed at every corner of India and every Indian is happy about it.
Hindus should note following things:
1. Muslims in eneral are peaceful community. Their faith in Allah is supreme and that is driving force in their lives. A good education would make them more tolerant.
2. Muslims must not be marginalised. On the contrary they should be given opportunities for better education and employment.
I have seen many Muslims, who are friends and clients, better than Hindus in their behaviour and values. I have felt at ease dealing with them. I feel very happy to see a young Muslim taking good education and getting job offer in private sector. There are many young Muslims boys & girls in Banking & Financial sector, who are extremely bright and dynamic. In fact every Indian knows at heart that this is land for everyone and we can stay peacefully together.

Abdus Subhan Qureshi alias Tauqeer Bilal’s mother Zubeida Qureshi was punishing when she said, “Hang my son in front of me if guilty.” Soon after the Jamia Nagar encounter, accused Muhammad Saif’s father Shadab contacted a television channel to say, “If he is involved in such acts, I would prefer not to see his face and if he ever comes before me, I would shoot him down.” Harsh words from loving parents. But Zubeida and Shadab are confronted by the ‘reality’ of their sons possibly being terrorists. They will never have the luxury of living in peace or with honour. We can only imagine the intensity of their wounded feelings.
The parents’ eagerness to improve their image shows the mental agony of Indian Muslims who feel called upon to explain their position in the wake of terrorist attacks. It may be recalled that not too long ago, the Muslim community held rallies and seminars to condemn terrorism as un-Islamic. There is pressure on Muslims.
What cause damage are the sweeping generalisations. If the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) is suspected in the recent blasts and is viewed as a terrorist organisation, nobody, Muslims included, should have any objection. The problem arises when SIMI’s alleged activities form the basis to assume that all Muslims support terrorism. Muslims are then seen as ‘the Other’.
The Sangh Parivar’s venomous anti-Muslim ideology and campaign are well-documented. The BJP practises politics of hate and exclusion. The Parivar’s purpose is communal polarisation. That said, it will be wrong of Muslims to believe the Sangh Parivar represents all Hindus.
There are many Hindus dead against its exclusionary politics. Most Muslims realise this. But, at times, Muslims do generalise. They view government or its institutions, the police for instance, as ‘the Other’. The police force’s track record during communal riots is not encouraging. Fake encounters have only contributed to the feeling that the police are biased against Muslims. The result is a huge trust deficit — the distrust was evident in Jamia Nagar.
The media must highlight examples of Hindu-Muslim cooperation: madrassas with Hindu teachers and students a case in point. Many Hindu NGOs work for the better of Muslims. They overcome obstacles with the assistance and cooperation of Muslim scholars.
A Hindu NGO in Haryana’s Mewat region asked me to address some Muslim notables. The NGO’s problem was that Muslim parents resisted the idea of wards being taught by non-Muslims. But their resistance evaporated when they were told that the Holy Companions had learnt from non-Muslims captured as prisoners during the Battle of Badr, Muhammad’s first armed clash with the Makkan infidels.
Indian Muslims are educationally backward, economically deprived and politically marginalised. They tend to focus on the wrongs done to them and rarely introspect. We complain that our religion is equated with terrorism. The other view is to blame ourselves for the inability to use the media to advantage.
Complaining will not work. We must develop capabilities to counter negative propaganda. To that end, Muslims are realising the importance of education. A section of the Muslim leadership is working hard towards this. There is a demand that government provide schools, instead of more police stations.
It is time for Muslims to be wise and not reactionary. We need to understand the new, emerging India. This is not being visionary. The point is that even a madrassa education can be of help. One only has to look at successful madrassa graduates, especially those from Falah, Islah, Nadwa and Deoband, to see how they moved on to modern universities and secured jobs.
The government is no longer the sole creator and provider of jobs. The private sector has thrown up opportunities like never before. Here the scope for discrimination and biases is minimal. When an India of opportunities seems to be round the corner, it is futile for educated Muslim youth to indulge in mindless violence and miss the bus of progress and development.
