Urdu restored as eligibility criteria in MANUU,Hyderabad

Subject to immense pressure Maulana Azad National Urdu University [MANUU] has amended its rule making knowledge of Urdu language necessary to apply for teaching posts. The controversy started when MANUU on 27 February 2012 issued a notification making Urdu knowledge not obligatory for teaching posts in the university and instead a new rule was drafted which allowed the recruited teachers to clear a certificate course in Urdu from any recognized institution within a prescribed period after taking charge as teaching staff in the university. Earlier SC/ST candidates were given this privilege, but with this notification the rule was generalized. That notification resulted in huge out cry from various adorers of Urdu as they thought this change will impact the very base of the country's first Urdu University, many felt that the agency set up for preserving and propagating Urdu is itself letting it down. The University notification was against its own rules, as sec 4 of the Maulana Azad National Urdu University act 1996 says that candidates for teaching staff post should have the ability to teach in Urdu which should be judged by the selection committee at the time of interview, and it asks the candidates to even demonstrate their ability in reading, writing, understanding and teaching in Urdu language. MANUU teachers association who were up against non-Urdu staff getting into the university sensed the death knell of the language in the University. They alleged that, since Vice Chancellor Mohd Miyan took over, he is trying every bit to fill the university with non-Urdu staffs as he himself is not well versed in the language. But according to Mohd Miyan, the decision to incorporate non-Urdu speakers in the university is primarily to get diverse intellectual skills which he feels the University badly needs. He believes it is difficult to find such skilled teachers, if the focus is on a qualification in a particular language. But after the teachers association and various other organization working for the promotion of Urdu organized protests, the University constituted a committee to look into the issue. The committee consisted of eminent Urdu intellectuals like Professor Suleman Sikander (former Vice Chancellor of Osmania University), Prof Mazheruddin, Prof Amena Qauser and Prof Abdul Qhayoom. The committee recommended the VC to amend the notification and restore the rider of Urdu for teachers post as they believed any such innovations would affect the very essentials of the university. It seems like the University authorities now fears protests and disturbances during the fourth convocation ceremony of the University to be addressed by Union HRD Minister, Kapil Sibal on 4th March and the amendment of the notification based on the recommendations of the high level committee is believed to be under the wake of this call. As per the fresh notification the candidates who have learnt Urdu until 12th or graduation will be eligible to apply for the teaching posts. This indeed is a sigh of relief for all Urdu lovers, but till at what length this reprieve will continue, will be an interesting thing to watch for.

Indian Muslims

Give the Indian Muslims

 ten years of peace'  

 

Packages and Financial Help require lot of time, as the normal practice in the Government is, however, one fails to know why the Government is failing in its duty for correcting the police attitude towards the Muslims

 

 

"My husband was in Phool Sawangi, hundreds of miles away, when the blasts took place in Malegaon a year before. The whole village is witness to this fact. Tell me, how can he plant a bomb in Malegaon when he was miles away?" asks Salma Bano, a resident of Phool Sawangi near Nanded and wife of Zahid Akhter. Zahid is one of the accused in Malegaon September Blasts case. With sheer helplessness written large in her eyes and almost bewailed, she adds, "No way! But he is still lingering into the jail."

 

Ironically, this is not an aberration. The Muslims in India have been at the receiving end ever since the Independence. Whenever something happens in any part of the country, finger of suspicions are immediately pointed towards the Muslims without taking into account the impact of such attitude on the community, "This is nothing but a mental torture and it looks sort of state sponsored pestering through the machinery", says Altaf Ansari, an activist. And once this is done, the Muslims are now lucky if they can avoid indiscriminate detentions of their educated youngsters.

 

"They carry a double burden of being labeled as "anti-national" and as being "appeased" at the same time."

Very recently, the same thing was observed after the Makkah Masjid Blasts in Hyderabad as well. Like in Malegaon, as soon as the blasts took place, the speculations of the Muslim involvement started circulating even before any investigation actually took place.

 

God forbid saying, the State Machinery is working on some pre-planned strategy to nab the Muslims. However, a close study of the Sachar Committee Report confirms this notion to some extent. It is worth recalling what the report says about the trauma, to which the Muslims are subjected to, when such things make rounds in the society.

 

Report Brief

The Prime Minster of India constituted a High Level Committee led by Justice Rajendra Sachar for assessing the Social, Economic and Educational Status of the Muslims in India. After an extension of few months, the Committee ultimately handed its report to the Prime Minister in November last.

 

And the report! It was as if, someone has counted the bleeding wounds of an injured body! Beyond doubt, first time after the independence, any report has succeeded in addressing the actual grievances of a beleaguered community on official level in such a comprehensive manner! The grievances, which were cleverly kept hidden till now, earlier under the debris of series of riots and now under the alleged terrorist activities.

 

As expected, it was a near storm everywhere in the country when the report was made public. However after the dust settled down, it became clearly known to everyone what is the actual condition of the Muslims in India is in comparison with their fellow countrymen. And despite their beleaguered condition, they are forced to live under the dilemma of being Anti-National.

 

The burden (or price?) of loyalty

Along with many other torments the community is forced to live with, the report has highlighted 'the mental torture' by the media and the agencies that keep on questioning the loyalty of the Muslims towards the country. The Report has observed, "They carry a double burden of being labeled as "anti-national" and as being "appeased" at the same time. While Muslims need to prove on a daily basis that they are not "anti-national" and "terrorists", it is not recognized that the alleged "appeasement" has not resulted in the desired level of socio-economic development of the Community."

 

It further says, "Concern was expressed over police highhandedness in dealing with Muslims. Muslims live with an inferiority complex as 'every bearded man is considered an ISI agent', 'whenever any incident occurs Muslim boys are picked up by the police' and fake encounters are common. In fact, people argued that police presence in Muslim localities is more common than the presence of schools, industry, public hospitals and banks."

 

The report goes on to add, "Communal tension or any untoward incident in any part of the country is enough to make Muslims fear for their safety and security. The lackadaisical attitude of the government and the political mileage sought whenever communal riots occur has been very painful for the Community."

 

Now the most awful act on the part of the Government! The Muslims had expected, it would have taken some immediate corrective measures at least in this regard. However, one really fails to find anything that the Government has done in this regard.

 

"While Muslims need to prove on a daily basis that they are not "anti-national" and "terrorists", it is not recognized that the alleged "appeasement" has not resulted in the desired level of socio-economic development of the Community."

Is the Government really serious over the Report?

Not a single day passes when we find a leader, however small or big, reiterating the Government's seriousness over the Sachar Committee Report and its concern for the revival of the Muslim Community. Some even suggesting, backdoor high-level activities are underway and some thing good for the community will definitely come out of it. They even advice to hold on for sometimes as the Government policies take time for implementation.

 

True, the Government initiatives, schemes and policies take time and if they are related to the Muslims, they take even more time. However, the Muslims wish to know what steps the Government is taking for easing out the "burden of suspected loyalty" from the beleaguered community. What the Government is doing to counter the malicious propaganda against the community and what it is doing about the alleged atrocities against the Muslims.

 

Just in case you are listening Mr. Prime Minister

Lately, we have seen some statements by the Prime Minister and his ministerial colleagues urging the concerned departments for restrain. And when the Prime Minister said, he had not slept for the whole night after watching the TV images of Glasgow accused's parents, it really had a healing effect. Nonetheless, one is sorry to say that the attitude of the officials and various departments towards the Muslims remain the same and ceases to show any kind of reversal. Otherwise my dear PM, why is Zahid still behind the bars when Haneef is enjoying the free air? Why is Salma still away from her husband when Firdous Arshiya has found her love?

 

And it is here that the suspicion comes into one's mind about the sincerity of the Government over the report. It is high time the Government realizes at least now that more than bread and butter, what the Muslims in India need today is a better peace of mind. Enough of the rhetoric, it is time for the action now. The actions, so that the Muslims in India can work for the country to prosper even more. It is really interesting to recall what Hasan Kamal, a senior journalist and activist had said in a recent meeting on 'Islam and terrorism'. "Give us TEN years of peace. I just ask TEN years of peace for the Muslims. Then watch out. To what height we take this country to", he has said and there is certainly no doubt in this.

 

 

Ramadhan

Ramadhan 24 Hour programme

Hereunder we suggest a 24-hour programme for the month of Ramadhan. It is an example of spending our time correctly. The programme starts from Maghrib till Maghrib the following day.
Read: "O You who are Great in Bounties, forgive me", as many times as possible before Iftar.
Make du'a 5 to 10 minutes before Iftar. The du'a of a fasting person is readily accepted at this time.
Make Iftar quickly. Thereafter perform Maghrib (for men with Jamat and for women at home).
After Maghrib perform 6 to 20 Rakats Awwâbîn Namaz.
Read Surah Tabarak after Maghrib. The benefit of it is that it will save us from the punishment of the grave.
Read Surah Waqiyah. The virtue of it is that it will save one from poverty.
Have supper quickly. Our suggestion is that due to the long days, have a rest for 15 – 20 minutes before Esha, so that one may be fresh for Tarawîh and Esha salâh.
Prepare for Esha before the Esha Azan and proceed for Esha and Tarawih Salat. Return home immediately after Tarawih or after any Deeni programme in the Masjid. Do not waste time talking and discussing political and business issues.
On returning home, read Surah Sajdah. Thereafter spend a few minutes with the family and try to sleep as early as possible allowing one to arise at 3.00 a.m. for Tahajjud salâh.
Read Tasbeeh-e-Fatimi before sleeping.
Perform at least 4,8, or 12 rakâts Tahajjud salah, thereafter read the first kalima 100 times and then make du'a before partaking of Sehri.
Immediately after Sehri proceed to the Masjid for Fajr Salâh. After Fajr recite the Quran till Ishraq time.
Perform 2 or 4 Rakats Ishraq. The benefit is that your daily work will become easy and you will attain the reward of an accepted Haj. After Ishraq rest before going to work. People who are self employed should take advantage of this rest and also give their employees this opportunity.
At work or at one's business, one should keep one's tongue moist with Zikr eg. Kalimah Tayyibah, Istighfar and Durood Shareef. Those who are bay't to a Sheikh should complete their prescribed Zikr.
Try to be early for Zohar Namaz so that one could read the Qur,an immediately after one has read the 4 Sunnat-e-Muakkadah before the Jamat Namaz. If possible try to read Qur'an after Zohar Namaz as well, depending on how long one's lunch break is.
After completing Asar Namaz, read Durood Shareef at least 100 times and Istighfar 100 times. Thereafter spend the balance of the time reciting Qur'an till Iftar time, not forgetting the du'a before Iftar.
