The message conveyed behind the effort of these two prolific statesmen is curren tly lacking by the present

Muslim leaders. The handling of Muzzafarabad stands t estimonial of Muslim leaders governance. Islam never stood against progress as popular beliefs thanks to Taliban whereas Islam promulgated to search knowledge even if we have to go faraway land like 'C hina'. Unfortunately, illiteracy, ignorance and poverty are operating in Muslim households as Siamese twins. A community of 160 million cannot be living in isolation when the rest of nation is taking progress. Time for a retrospection on the Muslim community and try to translate 'Deen aur Duniya' (religion and world) in parallel lines. The beauty of Indian fabric is its pluralism and every community has done their share to ma ke it rich and resilient. Here the writer poignantly shared the contribution of those Muslims leaders forgotten with the pace of time and distortion of history. The write up is not about defending but about engaging everyone irrespective of the various impediments that puts forward. I wish the leaders of today take a cu e from their predecessors and fight for a noble cause - to enrich the nation fro m the clutches of corruption. We need leaders like Lal Bahadur Shatri who resign ed as railway minister when there was an accident taking moral responsibility. Once again my profound gratitude for the writer for bringing into light those le aders who remain unsung. from: yasmin banu Posted on: Nov 7, 2013 at 23:56 IST A good account of Indian "mass tendency", to follow anything blindly if it creat es chain reactions/commotions. Be it Narendra Modi or Sachin Tendulkar, both of them inadvertantly shadowing their counterparts like Vishvanath Anand, revered m uslim leaders etc. About IITians fleeing off the country, many of them come back and become commendable entrepreneurs which serves country more effectively rath er than being sycophantic bureaucrats do, which is the dream of more than 70% of youth in our country. from: Abhinav Tripathi Posted on: Nov 7, 2013 at 15:56 IST I just love it when good words are written about the forgotten leaders. It gives me goosebumps reading the greatness. This analysis is just so perfect.
