Tricolour, anthem — India’s Muslims on why they’re using national symbols in protests Many Twitter u

Look no one gives a fcuk about Christianity

I'm in the UK and people are shedding Christianity like dog sheds hair

Indian Muslims are 250 million and they need to stand up for themselves

Christianity is growing faster than any other religion including Islam in India.

Even with higher birth rates Islam cannot compete with Christianity in India.

Islam has no future in India, thanks to Jinnah & Pakistan.

Christianity is the way to go in India.

The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin! . This is true even from Muslims of India who embrace Christianity.


 
Then who stopped anti BJp people to take up this issue and protest where ever our nationalism is challenged by any one??

if some section of people can come to street for protesting against any killing of military commander that has no way any relation with us, then can not these same people create nationwide protest against these BJP goons who insulted national flag???
What are law enforcement agencies for? Anti-BJP people are not here for vigilantism. There is a constitution which has to be abided and that is what has been done previously. If BJP goons insulted national flag, it is the law which should be applied against them.

If majority can come out on streets for the sake of foreigners(aka Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Afghani Hindus) while attacking their fellow citizens, then what is the harm in protesting against a targeted assasination? Why are hindutva politicians and their sympathizers concerned about Pakistanis when we have a economy in mess?

Anyways what BJP goons insulting national flag has this got to do with the NRC - CAA protests?

Christianity is growing faster than any other religion including Islam in India.

What's wrong with you?? Did this happen to you?

Anyways on your claim that "Christianity is growing faster than any other religion including Islam in India."

People protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens at Delhi's Jama Masjid Wednesday | Suraj Singh Bisht | ThePrint

New Delhi: A video of protesters singing the national anthem at Delhi’s Jama Masjid Wednesday night as part of the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests went viral and became an instant talking point.

While the gesture left many people overwhelmed, there were others who saw it in light of the heavy Muslim participation and the location.


Many Twitter users sought to troll the protesters and credited the Modi-Shah brand of nationalism as the driving force behind the singing of the anthem near a mosque. Others said it was the ultimate display of patriotism by a besieged minority.

Asim Ali, a research scholar at Delhi University, said the use of national symbols was a conscious strategy adopted by Muslim protesters.


“Muslims right now are fighting for, and displaying, their faith in the symbols of a republic that is failing them. This is the highest expression of patriotism,” he added.

“This stands in sharp contrast with the decades-long rejection of the national flag and parts of the Constitution by the RSS.”

He said it didn’t imply Muslims were being coerced into showing their patriotism.

“(American writer) Ernest Hemingway said ‘courage is grace under pressure’. This display of patriotism by Muslims, far from being meek submission to the diktats of the Hindu Right, is the most courageous reclamation of the idea of India,” Ali added.

Activist and JNU alumnus Umar Khalid, who has been leading many anti-CAA protests, described it as an attempt by Muslims to redefine “nationalism”.

“When the Right-wing mob marches in support of the accused rapist in Kathua holding the national flag, they are doing an utter disservice to it,” Khalid told ThePrint. “The invocation of the national symbols by Muslims is an attempt to redefine nationalism as we know it today.”

Khalid said Muslims were actively employing the national symbols and the Constitution “precisely because it is Muslims who the CAA seeks to exclude”.

He was referring to the fact that the CAA seeks to ease citizenship for non-Muslim minorities from India’s three Muslim-majority neighbours — Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan — a provision that has been widely condemned as divisive and biased.

However, there are those who feel there was no strategy behind the use of the symbols.

“These protests have been very spontaneous, so the choice of political symbol hasn’t been imposed on the participants from any leader or party,” said Hilal Ahmed, author of Siyasi Muslims: A Story of Political Islams in India.

“So, there is no particular ‘strategy’ or ‘plan’ to use the national anthem or the national flag to show any patriotism,” he added. “Instead, these national symbols are reclaimed to assert the point that Muslimsness is an inseparable part of Indian identity.”

Even among those who were part of the protest, there are different explanations.

Social activist Irtiza Quraishi said there was a certain strategy to the use of national symbols, especially Muslims, adding that the community had been “forced to constantly prove its Indianness”.

Asked about troll attacks, she added, “Yes, the Right-wing, with the help of their IT cell, have created an environment where we (Muslims) have to constantly prove not only our Indianness but that we are not terrorists.”

“Now we have reached a stage where we feel that it is impossible to argue or debate with people who do not have any potential of being receptive to a logical argument,” she said. “So, yes, to be honest, this is a conscious strategy because there is no other way to show our love for the country.”

Another participant from the Jama Masjid rally, however, had a different take. Noma Faruqi, an Ambedkar University student, said Muslims had been singing the national anthem since much before the Modi government came to power.

“The Jama Masjid protest was not led by any political body. It was organised by students of the walled city and led by its women,” she added. “So, singing of the national anthem was a conscious choice and not an imposition or an obligation.”

Writer and activist Farah Naqvi said it would be inaccurate to see Muslims holding the national flag in isolation, adding that all anti-CAA protesters were doing so.

“Every single protest I have been to since the CAA was passed has used the tiranga. This is not a particular Muslim response, this is a truly secular national response,” she added. “Everybody is reclaiming the national symbols, not just Muslims.”

Ahmed also rejected the suggestion that Muslims were employing national symbols as a reaction to the Hindutva provocations.

“We must remember that these women and young students are the product of the republic, and national anthem and national flag are intrinsically linked to them,” she said. “This is, therefore, not entirely a reaction to Hindutva allegations.”

It's what Jinnah said

"Indian Muslims who refused the idea of Pakistan, will spend the rest of their lives trying to prove loyalty to India"

What choice do Indian Muslims have, the harder choice is uniting their 250 million Muslim population and demanding either equality and rights or azaadi
At the moment they hope the Indian state has not become corrupted and will protect them from the hindutva

Asaduddin Owaisi is a great nationalist politician of India.

Indian Muslims will not fall for cheap Pakistani tricks.

Muslims will use Tricolour in fight against CAA, NRC: Owaisi

AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi addresses a gathering of protesters during the ‘Tiranga rally’ organised to protest against CAA, in Hyderabad on Friday. IANS

Hyderabad: Muslim groups across the country will adopt the Tricolour national flag as their mascot in their fight against the just enacted CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act), NRC (National Register of Citizens) and NPR (National Population Register) etc. A demonstration march to this effect was held in Hyderabad in a massive rally on Friday. Muslim groups would keep aside their green flags for a while.

The rally held under the aegis of the United Muslim Action Committee (UMAC) which includes Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi’s All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) and several other active groups of minorities. The rally attended by around one lakh people in the busy streets of the Old City before and after Friday prayers took the city police by surprise by its sheer size and emotions.

Owaisi has been urging Muslims to adopt the Tricolour as their flag in their fight against the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre which has enacted CAA and is in the process of rolling out other laws in the coming days. UMAC, at the behest of Owaisi, has agreed to accept the Tricolour as it reflects the Indian Constitution which has in its preamble the word “secular”. “If saffron is the colour of BJP and other Hindutwa groups, Tricolour is ours as we are interested in upholding secularism in the country,” said Owaisi addressing the rally at Mir Alam Tank, where a wave of national flags were displayed by the crowds who lustily cheered his speech and raised slogans against the Centre and the CAA.

In any of the rallies held by either AIMIM or other Muslim outfits in Hyderabad, the green flags are a routine, but since recently, Owaisi has been urging them to keep it aside and take up the Tricolour so that they can counter the charge that they were all anti-nationals. Incidentally, green flags also reflect the national flag of Pakistan and other Islamic nations.

Now, the UMAC is planning to persuade Muslim groups across the country to follow suit and wave the Tricolour in their rallies and demonstrations. Much to the relief of the committee, different Muslim bodies and other Opposition parties which are backing them are ready to adopt the suggestion, sources in the AIMIM told this newspaper on Saturday.

Sources also explained that it was not easy to make them accept the Tricolour as the symbolic flag of resistance against the CAA and other laws on the citizenship. “Owaisi has taken pains to see that there was a need to involve all secular forces in the country including opposition parties to rally under a common flag and tricolor is best suited for it,” said an AIMIM legislator.

UMAC has passed a resolution at the 10 January rally that all Muslims and others who support them should boycott the NPR and NRC in whatever form they are taken up. “Please don’t give your Aadhaar details to any of the Census enumerators and whoever visits your houses,” Owaisi told the large gathering at Mir Alam Tank.

The Tricolour flag is more than okay to the Congress. The committee took out another rally last week at Indira Park in the heart of the city where more than 75,000 people, mostly Muslims, turned up. These flash rallies planned through the social media have taken police by surprise due to the numbers.

Some BJP leaders have lodged a complaint with police against the UAMC and Owaisi for dishonouring Tricolour flags at the Mir Alam Tank rally. A 3 km long flag was waved along the rally while youths had cut it and used as scarves. As if acknowledging the mistake, Owaisi appealed to Muslims to respect the Tricolour as it is crucial in their fight against the BJP-led government.

Without Christian support you cannot form the government in half of the states like AP, Chattisgarh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Goa, North East etc.

'They're Muslim League Flags': Rahul Easwar Fact-Checks Koena Mitra's 'Islamic Flags' Tweet
Turns out the image tweeted by Koena Mitra is from a 2016 Muslim League rally held in Kozhikode.

followed by the handle of PM Narendra Modi, among others, shared a photo of a large gathering of men, supposedly in Wayanad, holding green "Islamic flags".

"First partition was done by terrorist Jinnah, next could be Rahul Gandhi. Islamic flags welcomed him to #Kerala," Mitra wrote. She went on to call the Congress manifesto "pro-jihad and anti jawans, anti-India". "Somebody is working hard for 'Gazwa-e-Hind'", she concluded.

While many on Twitter instantly started comparing the place to Pakistan, a surprising critic stood up to defend the truth behind the photo.

Right-wing activist Rahul Easwar, who was recently in the news after being arrested for obstructing the implementation of the Supreme Court order lifting the ban on women's entry in Sabarimala, responded to Mitra's tweet with a little fact-check.

"Dear @koenamitra ji," he wrote on Twitter. "This is the flag of Indian Union Muslim League. Who has a great legacy of opting for us, India during time of partition. They are our Muslim bros who chose a Gandhiji's India than a Jinnah's Pakistan."

Easwar, who has been vocal about his support for the policies of the BJP government in the past, added, "I also vote for Modiji, & Facts are more imp than Votes".

What Easwar said was indeed true. The flags that were seen in Wayanad on the day of the road show and previously were not "Pakistani flags" or "Islamic flags" but those of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML).

Pakistan's flag has a white border on the left with the moon and the crescent featuring in the centre. The Islamic banner usually has a star and crescent in the middle. However, the IUML flags, like the ones seen at Wayanad recently, has the star and crescent at the top left corner of the flag.

According to fact check in Alt-News, the image tweeted by Mitra is from a 2016 rally in January held in support of PK Kunhalikutty, a Mallapuram MP and member of IUML, in Kozhikode. The image was published in India Today on May 16, 2016.



(Screenshot from India Today website).

Meanwhile, Gandhi's campaign in Wayanad has stirred a political storm with PM Modi calling the Congress "scared" of contesting from Hindu-majority seats. The Left has also hit out at Gandhi's decision to contest from Wayanad,

Hours after the Congress announced Rahul Gandhi’s candidature from Wayanad seat, the ruling CPM in Kerala accused the grand old party’s chief of joining hands with “Muslim fundamentalists” on the pretext of defeating “communal BJP” in the state.

However, Gandhi has maintained that he will not fight the Left in Wayanad but only the BJP.


For their own good, Muslims of India should use Indian flags or a White flag (which is my preference/suggestion) rather than green flags which will be seen as supporting Pakistan.

It is good to see that United Muslim Action Committee (UMAC) which includes Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi’s All India Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) have taken a stand to use Indian tricolor going forward and stay clear from using green flags.
 
Vallahi Billahi I have failed to understand these Indian Muslims!!! Looks like they’re kissing both the feet of their executioner and his dagger which is slitting their throats!!!! What a pathetic situation!!! Don’t have they an iota of Yakin left in them?!?! Instead of engaging in these useless rituals they should train themselves in self defense!!! Ahh only if they could posses one millionth of the courage, boldness and audacity of the mafia boss Daud Ibrahim....

These are the initial hiccups of first time protest of common civilians without any support of anyone of their own but others outside of their own before coming to conclusion of accepting reality which will force to their roots of identity sooner or later.

With passing time many faces of munafiq visible, which will force them to realize and lead them on their own with believe on Allah(SWT) help.
