Few tweets on the bluff calling of South Asian Sufi-Mullah-Ashraf mafia by Modi-Shah through CAA legislation. Nobody dared to do it in the past starting with 1857.

I am quoting SR Goel in pieces.

"Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was the first leader to start sabre-rattling on behalf of his community. That was a year or two after the Congress came into existence. There is no evidence that any Hindu leader called his bluff at that time or at a subsequent stage.

On the other hand, there is ample evidence of how Hindu leaders tried to appease the bully.

To top it all, Hindus contributed quite a lot of money towards the establishment of his Anglo-Oriental Mohammedan College at a Aligarh which was to become the main seat of Muslim separatism at a subsequent stage.

The Swadeshi Movement was the next step in the struggle for freedom. It was immediately followed by the founding of the Muslim League. Muslims not only boycotted the movement but also let loose an orgy of riots which were particularly violent and beastly in Bengal.

But there is no record of Hindu leaders coming gorward to beat back the aggression. The only Hindu response to this Muslim mayhem was to hail Siraj-ud-daulah, Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan as national heroes.

Then came the Lucknow Pact of 1916. Muslim leaders had made no secret that Pan-Islamic causes rather than patriotism had made them move towards a joint front with the Congress. But no Hindu leader cared to look into the motivation of Muslims.
7/21

Only a slight gesture from the Muslim League was enough to elicit an enthusiastic response from the Congress.
8/21

Hindu leaders conceded not only separate electorates to Muslims but also one-third representation in the Central Assembly to a less than one-fourth of the total Indian population. It was Lokamanya Tilak and not Mahatama Gandhi who was the leader of the Congress at that time.

Once the legitimacy of Pan-Islamic cause was recognised by the national leadership, it was only a short step to the Khalifat agitation.

The meeting that was held on June 1, 1920, under the auspices of the Central Khalifat Committee, in order to solicit Congress support for the Sultan of Turkey, was not attended by Mahatma Gandhi alone.

Leaving aside Motilal Nehru. Tej Bahadur Sapru and Jawahar Lal Nehru, whose support for all Islamic causes was always a bygone conclusion, the others who sat by the side of Mahatma Gandhi in that crucial meeting were Lala Lajpat Rai, Bipin Chandra Pal,1+

Madan Mohan Malaviya, Satyamurti, C. Rajgopalachari and Chintamani. The proceedings of that meeting exist in cold print. Some of these Hindu leaders did oppose the proposal for a Non-Cooperation Movement to be launched simultaneously with the Khalifat agitation.
13/21

But no one pointed out that the national movement should have nothing to do with a Pan-Islamic platform. The same story was repeated at the Special Session of the Congress at Calcutta in September that year and at its Annual Session at Nagpur in December.
14/21

Later on, Swami Shraddhananda was to be lionised for lambasting the British Government from the steps of the Jama Masjid at Delhi. He was speaking in support of the Khalifat agitation.
15/21

The Congress and the Muslim League never came together again at an all-Indian level after this brief period of six years which ended with the suspension of the Non-Cooperation Movement in February, 1922.
16/21

Muslims made no secret of their belief that they had been betrayed by Mahatma Gandhi. They let loose another orgy of riots all over the country.
17/21

Justice demands that anti-Gandhi nationalists review Hindu history vis-a-vis Islam and lay the blame where it belongs.
18/21

They will soon find out that Mahatama Gandhi was neither the first nor the last to accord the status of a religion to Islam, the dignity of a deity to Allah, the aura of an avatar to Muhammad, the sanctity of a scripture to the quran, the holiness of saints to the sufis,1+
19/21

the majesty of a place of worship to the mosque and the rights of a minority to the Muslim millat.
20/21

Most Hindus are still chanting sarvadharma-sama-bhava vis-a-vis Islam in the face of Muslim fanaticism, through over three decades have passed since the death of Mahatma Gandhi.
