The Sunni Ulema Council General Secretary Haji Mohammed Salees has posed six questions on Hindu-Muslim relations. In Twitter I will answer.
Q1: Whether India is a Hindu Country? A: India is Hindustan that is a land of Hindus and those others who are of Hindu descent or ancestry.
Q2: Whether there is a format to make India into Hindu Rashtra. A2: No.We are bound by the Constitution with a Basic Structure unamendable
But the Directive Principle of the Constitution with other easily amendable Articles e.g., 370 de facto makes it a Hindutva Constitution.
Q3: Will this Constitution be according to Hindu religious texts. A3: No. It will be secular because India will be a Hindustan Republic.
Q4: What does Hindutva mean for religious conversion? A4:Under the Constitution conversion illegal if induced by bribe or force. If... contd
induced then de-conversion I.e., uninduced Gharwapsi is legal and Constitutional no matter how long ago conversion had taken place.
Q5:What is Hindu view of Islam? A5: Islam is an established religious theology. Hindus believe that God can be reached through Islam. But...
Hindus believe that the 800 years of Islamic violence against Hindus and Hindu institutions have to be acknowledged and addressed. A step..
is to voluntarily agree to shift the offending masjids in Mathura, Ayodhya, and Varanasi to other acceptable suitable locations.
Q6: What kind of Rashtra prem do Hindus want from Muslims? A6: Same as from Hindus & other Indians. Our public policies should be guided...
by national interests and not by sectional interests. Hindustani Muslims should accept nation's support for Israel just as Tamils should SL
These are my personal views to be presented to VIrat Hindustan Sangam meeting for adoption in in Mumbai on May 2&3
