Anti-terrorism conferences to spread Islamic teachings: Arshad

By Mumtaz Alam Falahi, TwoCircles.net

New Delhi : The anti-terrorism conferences being organized in the country by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind (JUH) or other Muslim organizations are not meant to clean the image of the Muslim community or madrasas, said Maulana Arshad Madani, ex-president, JUH on 10th May.

Rather, these conferences are just to spread the Islamic teachings of peace and brotherhood and also to expose hands that are hell-bent to tarnish the image of Islam and the Muslim community, said he who has been instrumental behind these conferences after the 25th February national anti-terrorism conference organized by Darul Uloom Deoband.

Book review: Unveiling the Hidden History of Women Ulema

Book Review- Banat-e Islam Ki Dini Wa Ilmi Khidmat ('The Religious and Intellectual Contributions of Muslim Women') by Yoginder Sikand

Books in English and Urdu on Muslim history rarely, if ever, mention the role and contribution of numerous remarkable Muslim women scholars. Yet, as the author of this fascinating monograph, the late Qazi Athar Mubarakpuri (1916-1996), points out, early Muslim history records many such women, several of whose names are mentioned in contemporary Arab chronicles. Indeed, he asserts, many of these texts had separate chapters devoted to such women. Some early Arab Muslim writers even penned separate books dealing with women scholars.

Trade and culture and languages

India was ruled by Enlish rulers and Muslim rulers. Some of the rulers were perhaps not nice to local people.
Basic difference to Muslim rulers and English rulers which I find is the basic fundamental difference to English.
Muslim rulers created Urdu language to communicate with local people. Urdu has it's roots in Arabic/Persian/Turkish but Grammer and sentence structure is pure Indian (Hindi)
This shows that it was the Muslim invaders who wanted to communicate with local Indians Where as English rulers never tried to be part of Indian culture and language.
THIS IS THE BASIC REASON WHY ENGLISH RULERS HAD TO LEAVE INDIA!

Since the sentence from Gandhi is true:
"NO CULTURE CAN SURVIVE IF IT ATTEMPTS TO BE EXCLUSIVE"
English rulers gave Indians a complexion: what ever is white is good and what ever is dark (complexsion) is not good can be seen in Hindi films till today. No actoress in Hindi film has dark complesion!
This change came after 1857 when we Indians lost to the East India company.

Today I see in termsn of globalisation:
on one hand German Industry wants all Green card holders that they should know German work culture and German language, but on the other hand the German experts and companies think that they can capture Indian market with their basic knowledge of English only.
The question is how many Indians feel comfortable in speaking English? Do all Indians speak English?
As far I know the West Bengal market is in hand of Marwaris/Gujratis. They too adopt to local work culture/local language of the region. This is one of themain reason why they have capture the regional market.
