Ghettos in the making : Why Muslims are made to live in subhuman conditions ?



When I am  a born-Muslim it becomes obvious that I share some of my feelings as to why my community Is being forced to remain inside the ghettos. Let me share some of the reasons here.
1- Media= Even the world is moving towards technologies and speed of change but the Media remains aloof and indifferent to the needs of Muslims. They overshadow and hide many real-life events related to Muslims. They start projecting any suspect to be the real demon in society. I know many cases of willful harassment done by Media which could easily qualify for Court case of defamation and purgery. Social Media also not far behind in hounding the Muslims through internet and various Social Networks. It is some times very difficult to express ones feeling as a Muslim on internet nowadays.
2- Ministries and Ministers = In India, there are so many Departments and Ministers for development of Muslims but they hardly interact with Muslim community. The best examples of course are the two Muslim Ministers of Minority Affairs. They do not care to share new ideas. They are limited to small doles of welfare and charity type work without any focus. The Budgets have also going down each year and recommendations of various Studies and Commissions have not been followed. Muslims are not taken in Government jobs.  Youth are generally avoided in many stage – managed programmes;
3- Minority-Majority Mindset of Many this is growing day by day. The elite schools hardly enjoy the presence of Muslim students. The majority religion in India is backward looking and shady in giving opportunities to the poor and the weaker sections of the Society. Islam is perhaps the latest edition of a world religion which came much after many of these old religions failed to meet the aspirations of the majority. There is no substance in ghar-waapsi, dharm parivartan,(religion conversion ) etc. as these ideas are now false, baseless, redundant and are hollow in promise. Muslims need safety, brotherhood and care from these abovementioned- MMM of many. Caste System still prevails and Muslims are asked to follow these system in the name of “joining the mainstream” when the mainstream is so polluted, stinking, corrupt and radar less crowd. It can hardly be expected from them that  they will look into the welfare of Muslims when we have more than half the population lying under Poverty;
4- Madarsa- the managers of the schools do not want to include modern day skills and syllabus in the curriculum of Madarsa. These socio-religious Schools do not want grants from Governments fearing that the officers will ask for details of Grants and bribes. These schools are necessary for spread of Islam and the scriptures are taught in line with the International School of thoughts but we still are under pressure to behave the way the majority wants and not what Islam wants.
5- Muslim Countries- Mainly the UAE has been encouraging the ghettoisation of Muslims through wahabism. The Arab World is happy to trade with USA, etc but never wants to encourage poor Muslim youth to start small Businesses and encourage the wealthy Indian-Muslims to establish truly structured Multi-National Corporations which could give Business Opportunities. The countries have ample amount of Funds and sources at their disposal to cater to the needs of poor Muslim families. Khairat and Zakat are two main pillars of Islam which can easily help remove the poverty of a majority of Muslims in India but what these countries are encouraging is war, Haj / Umrah Pilgrimages and stereotype Welfare activities like running of Urdu/ Arabic language Schools, setting up of Madarsa, Construction of Mosques related to Wahabism, etc.  which get further tainted / certified as terrorist –camouflaged- activities by the western World, generally openly supported by Indian authorities as seen from time to time.

The above 5 Ms are working against the general welfare of Muslims in India and we have to understand these Ms if we want to prevent the Ghettoisation of Muslim community of India.
