Re: As someone with a Muslim first name and a Hindu surname, I suppose I have always swung between labels
Dear Samina
While i appreciate your  concern about Muslim community in general,  one should not justify rigidities / fundamentalist approach of   one particular community because other community is performing certain religious functions in public. Hindus being a majority community, their religious functions may some times be more visible especially if held in public places, but that does not mean Hindus  become fundamentalists. Hindu religion philosophy   basically has been welcoming of other cultures,religion and has never opposed them violently as the History will vouch for it and the mixed and diversified Indian culture  will speak for it. Even  for  that sake,  Muslims perform Friday Namaz in public places/ roads out side the Masjids for the last several decades and  no body has objected to it. All communities will have to learn  to  respect  other religions  and follow 'Live and let Live' both in letter and spirit. Like terrorists' attacks, any attacks or destruction of human life, public/private property, talk of separatism and or  Azadi , for any justifiable reasons, by any religious or political group can not be supported or  justified and are to be condemned by all  right thinking   persons. Sikh riots of Delhi,   Demolition of Babri Masjid, burning of  poor kar sevaks in the train followed by Godhara riots, recent attacks on Christians,  Malegaon riots and  most  recently  Dhulia riots      and any state/police aristocracies  are to be condemned by all right thinking persons and law should take its  course to punish  the guilty in an impartial  way. TV and News media do  try to expose any  injustices in this regard. Also,  one has to see as to why in most of the bomb explosions, members of  one particular community are only accused, it can not be termed simply as prejudices of the state administration and wished away and  or justified for any  reasons.
One should not  forget  that Indian Muslim  community has given educationists,  jurists, politicians, warriors  of high integrity and top positions  in  public life were also held by distinguished members of their community. Film  industry is another fine example of  religious harmony.
Also,  modern/reformist/ muslim community will have to take an introspection and large scale frank inner discussions as so why they are educationally, economically,socially, employment  wise backward and how fast the community can bring itself into the national/main  stream instead of accusing other communities and /or their  isolated non excusable acts or State administration. Personally,i  feel that if  religion is not mixed with politics, modern education  participation of the community in general is improved without of course sacrificing personal religious beliefs,personal laws  are modified keeping in view emerging socio-economic  scenario,  avoid self condemnation attitude or blaming Hindus or govt. for the backwardness of the community, both economic , education,lack of   employment opportunities whether police,or military,or administrative or allied services , there is no reason why the community as a whole does not  in  due course become an equal partner in the national  development.
Thanks and regards
