Saudi- Ansari's logical approach


Date:

(MENAFN- Arab News) This refers to Indian Vice President Hamid Ansari's recent address at the golden jubilee celebrations of All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat in New Delhi.

In his inimitable style the vice president has delivered an address that is brilliantly articulated and deeply profound. It deserves to find its place as a historic masterpiece. Ansari has drawn a picture that shows both faces of the coin. He has so succinctly summarized the key challenges facing Indian Muslims pertinently linking them to issues of citizens' rights. He places the burden of corrective action both on the state as well as on the community. He rightly locates the solutions to the Muslim dilemma within the context of Indian conditions and commitment to plurality secularism and democracy within the ambit of justice equality and fraternity. The need is for better communication and more interaction with the wider community and the response to the present challenges cannot be isolation.

Ansari's language is impeccable his logic compelling and faultless. Yet though unsurprisingly his speech has attracted criticism from right-wing ideologues who are more adept at manufacturing myths than accepting the dire reality of the Indian Muslims' condition. Hasan Ghias Jeddah
