Mr. Jinnah's vision for a progressive Pakistan

“You are free to go your mosques and temples…”
which is an excerpt from the speech delivered by Mr. Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, to the first Constituent Assembly on August 11, 1947.
According to the ad, while addressing people, the Quaid (founder) made a pensive statement as he declared that all citizens in the new state of Pakistan, regardless of colour, caste, or creed, will be at liberty to follow and practice their religion ‘without any fear or favour’.
There is a picture of a man, placed in the center of the ad, who is praying all alone in a small mosque in Balochistan . 
The ad reads, Nearly 64 years later, a devout Muslim is engaged in a tiny mosque adjoining the Khan of Kalat’s palace.  There are 163 million Muslims in Pakistan today, divided into 72 official denominations.  Can any Muslim preserve spiritual peace, unencumbered by fierce sectarian warfare and countless blood-spattered clashes, which are provoked daily by the invective of self-styled religious leaders?  Yet, this Muslim continues to dream Mr. Jinnah’s dream of a free Pakistan. 
One of Mr. Jinnah’s dreams was to see Pakistan as an independent and progressive state with no conflicts, controversies, bloodsheds, disputes, or any kind of brutal encounters especially in the name of religion.   
It seems as if Muslims in Pakistan have tangled themselves in numerous fights with each other just because of the slight differences between them.
Pakistanis were supposed to carry on the Quaid’s dream; not walk in the opposite direction. 
What do you have to say to this?

Association with God and Treatment to Parents.

Mian Aamir

“And We had certainly given Luqman wisdom so that he "Be grateful to Allah ." And whoever is grateful, is grateful for [the benefit of] himself. And whoever denies [His favor] - then indeed, Allah is Free of need and Praiseworthy
And [mention, O Muhammad], when Luqman said to his son while he was instructing him, "O my son, do not associate [anything...] with Allah . Indeed, association [with him] is great injustice."
“And We have enjoined upon man [care] for his parents. His mother carried him, [increasing her] in weakness upon weakness, and his weaning is in two years. Be grateful to Me and to your parents; to Me is the [final] destination. But if they endeavor to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness and follow the way of those who turn back to Me [in repentance]. Then to Me will be your return, and I will inform you about what you used to do.”( Al-Quran, Sura 31:12-15)
In the above quoted verses of Al-Quran the following facts are manifest:
1. To associate any entity with God is great injustice. It is Right of the God that we should not associate with God any body;
2. After telling us His Right, He described the rights of our parents. After Him, He gave importance to rights of our parents and enjoined that we should be good to our parents and take care of them; And
3. Even if parents happen to be non Muslims yet we are enjoined to be good to them but we should not obey them if they ask us to revert from Islam.

Begum Nusrat Bhutto

Prime Minister of Pakistan Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani Announced Public Holiday Tomorrow (24-10-2011) in all Over Pakistan due to Death of Mohtarma Nusrat Bhutto Mother of Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto

Did we ever deserve you?--A tribute to Benazir Bhutto

By Masood Lohar

You lived as “Daughter of East”
You died as “Mother of Peace”
Zulfi was right naming you Benazir
Matchless you are, with ironical ease
Karbala comes with a face new
Did we ever deserve you?

Five years and a few days
That was all you ruled Pakistan
What so little we had to offer
You gave your life for Pakistan
This is all mourners’ view
Did we ever deserve you?

They say you had self-interest
For, your struggle was power lust
This may not surprise any man
They said the same thing about Imam Hussain
In this treacherous world, this is not new
Did we ever deserve you?

They said you were security risk
For patriotism, one has to be khaki
All letters of ABC are given to the League
Our hidden hands need mediocrity
Couple of Mullahs and PML Q
Did we ever deserve you?

Million jackals’ howling
Subsides in one lion’s roar
But this world is made like that
People only ear to malicious uproar
Both are separate, water and dew
Did we ever deserve you

Benazir Bhutto Shaheed

I may never see tomorrow there s no written guarantee

Today"

I may never see tomorrow; there's no written guarantee
And things that happened yesterday belong to history.
I cannot predict the future, I cannot change the past,
I have just the present moments, I must treat it as my last.

I must use this moment wisely for it soon will pass away,
and be lost forever, as part of yesterday.
I must exercise compassion, help the fallen to their feet,
Be a friend unto the friendless, make an empty life complete.

The unkind things I do today may never be undone,
And friendships that I fail to win may nevermore be won.
I may not have another chance, on bended knees to pray,
and I thank ALLAH with a humble heart for giving me this Day.
LIFE

Life does not have to be glamorous
or spectacular in order
to be filled with richness.
The very best moments are,
more often than not, the ordinary moments.

It is not really what surrounds you
or what happens to you
that makes life good.
It is what you do with it.

Some people can be miserable
even in the most exciting surroundings.
And others can find true magic,
Wonder and richness in even
the most common, ordinary circumstances.

Where you are right now is a great
and wonderful place to be.
Know that there are real miracles
in this very moment and they will be yours to live.

If your happiness depends
on some outside factor,
then even if you attain it,
you'll be disappointed by
the sense of emptiness it brings.
And you'll feel the need for something more.
That something more has been
there all along and is, when you choose it,
unconditionally yours.

Find your joy in the ordinary moments
and experience how
beautifully rich and fulfilling life can be.

Philosophy of Mind

The philosophy of mind is the branch of metaphysics that studies the nature of mind, what it is that makes us conscious beings. The central question in the field is whether the mind is material or immaterial: are we merely physical beings, or something more? Do we have immaterial souls that animate our bodies, or are we merely electrical activity in an organic brain?
Substance Dualism
Substance dualism is well-established among non-philosophers. It is the view that there are two fundamentally different types of substance--physical and non-physical--and that human beings are made up of two components: physical bodies and non-physical minds. This theory has many attractions, but is now seen by many, rightly or wrongly, as old-fashioned and naive.
Substance Monism
In opposition to substance dualism is substance monism, the view that there is no distinction between the mental and physical realms, that everything is fundamentally the same. Although it is possible to argue that everything is mental, as idealism does, it is much more common to hold that everything is physical, to endorse “physicalism” or “materialism”.
Materialism
The theory of choice for many scientists is materialism, which denies the existence of strange, non-physical substances and insists that we are entirely physical beings. Materialist theories attempt to reduce mentality to physicality, analysing mental states in terms of physical states. There are various such analyses available: behaviourismanalyses mental states in terms of behaviour; functionalism analyses mental states in terms of their functional role; mind-brain identity theory identifies mental states with brain states.
Property Dualism
There is, however, a third option: property dualism. Property dualism is substance monist; it agrees with materialism that there are only physical substances. However, it concedes to the dualist that these substances have both physical and non-physical properties, and that the non-physical properties cannot be fully explained in purely physical terms. Although this position is intended to capture the best elements of both positions, it arguably ends up with the liabilities of both as well.

The great wall of Sindh

 (Diwar-e-Sindh)
Sindh province has a rich historical and cultural past.  It has several iconic tourist attractions through its length and breadth. The most indelible and historic landmark called “Diwar –e-Sindh” which is wonderfully accurate like the great wall of China,    located at Rani Kot around 250 kilometers off from Khairpur Mirs city, is one of those historic tourist sites and mysterious places. Sadly, culturally and historically rich sites of Sindh has been ignored by the national and international media.     

Unfortunately the concerned provincial departments including department of culture, department of tourism and others are not putting in practice their genuine efforts to develop and promote its culture and preserve its history. Regrettably, most of the people in Pakistan and even younger generation in the province do not know about many historic tourist sites of the province.   

However, the provincial government is requested to launch prerequisite programs to promote rich and enviable culture and tourist spots and also preserve history of Sindh. Regarding the promotion of Diwar-e-Sindh (The great wall of Sindh) it is proposed that a few consecutive cabinet meetings may be held at this majestic historic site to make it center of attraction for tourists in and abroad, interalia, necessary tourist facilities may also be provided therein

Rani Kot

Gorakh Hills Station Panorama

This warm and welcoming piece of paradise is located near a famous town Johi in district Dadu, Sindh province. Regrettably, the past successive governments did not pay even an iota of attention to develop this like natural and panoramic sites in the province but unfortunately made every effort to spoil and bankrupt those.
Gorukh Hill Station has very attractive scenery; it snows and has very peaceful surrounding to simply relaxing and re-energizing. One can experience true and unspoiled rural and village life in the vicinity. How strange! Even by now when democratically elected government is in power, desired attention is not being paid to develop this unique site so as make it one of the largest resort towns in Pakistan.  Hundreds of pities for this callousness, inaction, insensibility and , insensitivity.

Keeping view its winsome weather, salubrious climate, enviable environment and panoramic perspective, Sindh government is appealed to develop it in accordance with the international standards. Establish Enchanting Family suites, Eco-Farm and bird-watching centre, capacity building and training institutes/academies of various provincial departments such as Revenue department, irrigation department, Power and energy, Local government training institutes, among others, so as to attract the tourist from Pakistan and abroad there. Above all, stringent action may also be taken against illegal Afghans and other national refugees residing and relishing there and in the vicinity.

POWER OF SILENCE

About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Indians had to leave Italy. Naturally there was a big uproar from the Indian community. So the Pope made a deal. He would have a debate with a member of the Indian community. If the Indian won, the Indians could stay, if the Pope won, the Indians would leave. The Indians realized that they had no choice. So they picked a middle aged man named Santu to represent them. Santu asked for one addition to the debate. To make it more interesting, neither side would be allowed to talk. The Pope agreed. The day of the great debate came. Santu and the Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Santu looked back at him and raised one finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head. Santu pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine. Santu pulled out an apple. The Pope stood up and sad, “I give up. This man is too good. The Indians can stay.”

An hour later, the cardinals were all around the Pope asking him what had happened. The Pope said, “First I held up three fingers to represent the trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still one God common to all religions. Then I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us from our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of original sin. He had an answer for every thing. What could I do?"

Meanwhile, the Indian community had crowded around Santu. “What happened?” they asked. “Well” said Santu, “First he said to me that the Indians had three days to get out of here. I told him that not one of us was leaving. Then he told me that this whole city would be cleared of Indian. I let him know that we were staying right here.”
“Yes, yes… and then???” asked the crowd.
I don’t know”, said Santu, “He took out his lunch, and I took out mine!”

MQM banned in Canada.

Its old news but had to write..

Judge orders deportation of Pakistani party chief
The head of the Quebec branch of a Pakistani political party is facing deportation after the Federal Court of Canada ruled he belonged to an organization that committed terrorism.
The judge upheld the deportation of Mohammed Kashif Omer, a resident of Montreal, on the grounds he is a member of the Mothaidda Quami Movement, or MQM.
It is the second time this year Canadian courts have ruled the MQM party meets the legal definition of a terrorist organization.
Mr. Omer is one of dozens of Pakistanis whom Canadian immigration authorities are trying to deport because of their involvement in the MQM.
Despite being blamed for the kidnapping, torture and murder of its political rivals in Pakistan, the MQM has opened a Canadian branch called MQM-Canada.
Members of the group have worked on Conservative election campaigns, met Prime Minister Stephen Harper and recently hosted a conference in Calgary.
Conservative MP Art Hanger spoke at the June 8-10 MQM Canada convention, which was attended by several Pakistanis who are being deported for their alleged involvement in terrorism. Mr. Hanger said he did not support the group. Conservative MLA Shiraz Shariff also attended. He said yesterday he was unaware Canadian courts had deemed the MQM a terrorist organization. "Why are we as a nation then allowing them to have a congregation here?" he said.
Among the speakers at the convention was Mr. Omer, who presented a report on the "achievements and future strategy" of the Montreal office of MQM, according to the group's Web Site.
Mr. Omer has no immigration status in Canada. A Canada Border Services Agency spokesman, Erik Paradis, said the court ruling means that the deportation order against Mr. Omer is now in effect.
The MQM is a Pakistani political party that is part of President Pervez Musharraf's ruling coalition. The Canadian MQM branch has never been accused of illegal activities but in Pakistan the party has been blamed for widespread violence, most recently in May when gunfights between the MQM and anti-government demonstrators left more than 40 dead.
MQM officials deny any role in attacks and say they are victims of misinformation spread by Pakistani authorities. Canada's Security Intelligence Review Committee has been looking into complaints from MQM members that immigration authorities have unfairly branded them as terrorists.
Mr. Omer came to Canada in 1998 and was granted refugee status but in 2005 immigration officials said he could not remain in Canada "because he knowingly and for a long period of time belonged to an organization that has engaged in terrorism."
In Pakistan, Mr. Omer had been a member of the MQM and its student wing from 1987 to 1998. He denied any involvement with the MQM in Canada but eventually acknowledged he was in charge of the MQM's Quebec office.
The Immigration and Refugee Board said "Mr. Omer's reasons for trying to hide that, in Canada, he is responsible for the Montreal section of the MQM-Canada lead me to believe that he knew that his party was committing many violent acts."
He appealed the decision to the Federal Court, arguing that the MQM is not a terrorist organization and that the violence was committed by rogue elements in the party, but the court was not convinced.

ALEXANDER LAST 3 WISHES

Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests,his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence.
He now longed to reach home to see his mother's faceand bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit him to reach his distant homeland.
So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last.
He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail."
 With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.
 1) "My first desire is that", said Alexander,
 "My physicians alone must" carry my coffin."
2) After a pause, he continued,
"Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury".
3) The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute's rest and continued.
 "My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out of my coffin".
The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes.
But no one dared bring the question to their lips.

Alexander's favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart.
 "O king, we assure you that all your wishes will be fulfilled.
But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?"
  At this Alexander took a deep breath and said:
"I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt.
Lessons to be learnt from last 3 wishes of King Alexander...
I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor
on this earth can really cure any body. They are powerless.
 And cannot save a person from the clutches of death.
So let not people take life for granted.
  The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the path to the graveyard is to tell People that not even a fraction of gold will come with me.
I spent all my life Greed of Power, earning riches but cannot take anything with me.
Let people realize that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth.
   And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin,I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world
And  empty handed I go out of this world".
 With these words, the king closed his eyes.
Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last. . . .

LESSON TO LEARN:
  Remember, your Health is in your own hands, look after it.
Wealth is only meaningful if you can share and also enjoy
while you are still alive, kicking & healthy.
What you do for yourself, dies with you.
 But what you do for others will live for ever.
 Leave the “Legacy” behind.

Karachi, the present boisterous and pretentious city, bubbling with furor, frenzy and fury was once, like all present cities, a small placid village. Historians tell us that its old name was “Kolachi” after the name of an old woman who was head of the village. The other view is that it was a village of Kolachi tribe, who are Balochs on maternal side and Soomras on paternal side, and because of that tribe it was called “Kolachi”.
In my view, its name was “Kalanchi” or “Kalachi”, which was in currency even up to the period when Shah Abdul Lateef Bhittai (1690-1752), the great mystic poet of Sindh, was composing poetry and immortalizing folktales, legends and historical and semi-historical characters of Sindh. He had also used “Kalachi” as name of the village Kolachi in his poem “Gha atoo” meaning “killer”.

It is linguistic rule that letter “L” changes to letter “R” and vice versa. For example, letter “L” of Urdu word “Suli” (gallows) to Suri, in Sindhi. It was according to this rule that, with passage of time, letter “L” changed to letter “R” and old Kalachi became Karachi.


I think Kalanchi is combination of two words “kalan” and “chi”. Kalan means “big” and chi means settlement or a village. Another Sindhi word “Pore” is also used as suffix for a village fortified with mud walls. It is used all over the sub-continent and even out of sub-continent like Singapore meaning the village of lions (Sanga = lion + por = fort). There are many towns and villages in Sindh carrying chi as suffix like Dhabechi, Golarchi etc.

1. Prologue

Sindh is one of the world's most ancient civilized and organized countries.  As the nature of the such things, it has seen many a rise and fall.  The signs of its ancient glory are still to be found in the relics of Amri, Kot Diji and Moenjodaro.

For some of its history, Sindh has been ruled by natives, and for some of its history, it has seen hardship as a colony of aliens.  It has not yet been possible to properly research Sindh's pre-historic days but its recent history begins with Rai Sahasi and Chuch dynasties.

The Chuch Dynasty is also called the Brahmin Dynasty.  Its last ruler was Raja Dahir, the younger son of Chuch.  Raja Chuch died in 682 A.D. After him, Raja Chandur became King of Sindh and remained on the throne for eight years.  Raja Chandur was followed by Raja Dahir whose very wise, courageous and principled rule lasted 32 years.  Raja Dahir's reign ended with the take-over of Sindh by Muhammad bin Kasim's son-in-law of Hajjaj Bin Yousuf Sagfi's, who was a commander of the imperialist Arab Banu Umaya's army -- and Sindh became a part of a foreign empire.

Within one year of assuming power, Raja Dahir had taken steps to consolidate his kingdom on all sides.  The capitol of his kingdom was Alor.  From there, he marched eastward and put his brother in-charge of a province with its centre at Brahmanabad.  He then marched to Makran, where he made an alliance with the local ruler.  His kingdom extended to Multan in the North.  Dahir's government was strong and his kingdom was peaceful.

2. The Nature of the Conquerors

At that time, Bani Umaya dynasty ruled Arabia.  A member of that dynasty, Yazid son of Mauvia, not only martyred the saintly Imam Hussain, grandson of the prophet, but ordered his dead body torn apart by horses and for months, had his hallowed scalp carried on a lance through the streets of the Arab kingdom.  The son and family of Imam Hussain was imprisoned and brought to Damascus.  A member of that family, Abdullah bin Zubair was murdered in the sanctity of Kaaba (Mecca).   These are but a few examples of the cruelty perpetuated by this ruling family.

In the days of Raja Dahir, a member of the Bani Umaya dynasty, Abdul Malik son of Marvan, was the ruler of Arabia.  His Commander, Hajjaj Bin Yousuf Sagfi was a very brutal, murderous tyrant, who had been very cruel in his treatment of the descendents of the Prophet and murdered many Muslims.  There is plenty of historic documentation which informs us about these deeds.

After brutally suppressing the local revolt that followed the martyrdom of Imam Hussain [grandson of the Prophet], the dominion of Bani Umaya extended to all of Arabia and they attacked all their neighbors to extend their kingdom.

3. Arabian Penninsula before the Prophet

A large part of the Arabian peninsula is a desert, besides the two major cities of Mecca and Medina, its inhabitants live a nomadic life. Its tribes used to often go to war with each other; thus militancy was part of their temperament.  Its inhabitants, for the most part, were followers of ancient tribal religions whose idols were kept in the Kaaba, though some of them were Jews and Christians.  To procure goods, Arab traders traveled to Syria and Iraq in caravans.

Before the birth of the Prophet (peace be upon him), some Arabs enlisted in the armies of Rome and Persia.  The bulk of their livelihood, though, was through shepherding herds.  They passed their lives in considerable poverty.  After the Great Prophet, they were united in the name of a new religion under one central government. This greatly increased their strength and courage.

 4. What Followed the Death of the Prophet

The prophet-hood of the kind Prophet had two goals:

-- First, to encourage intellectual, spiritual and moral   righteousness.

-- Second, to promote peace and provide for the betterment of the sociopolitical conditions in the country.

Both goals were well met during the life of the Prophet of God.  But after his passing away, his followers split into two groups.  One wanted to emphasize the first goal.

Others believed that the Arabs still suffered from a bad character, tribal conflicts, old customs and manners which had not been completely reformed.  For the first time in history, they have united under a central government.  Therefore, this group wanted to emphasize the second goal.  The first group was futuristic, the second was present centered.    The future depends on the present, thus the second group prevailed.

The Arabs were poor; to unite them and divert their attention from tribal conflicts, the people with the second viewpoint found it necessary to invade neighboring rich and urban countries and gain their wealth to improve the lot of the locals.

The new religion had united them and fired up their zeal, besides which the thought of gaining the wealth of other nations created a greedy desire of conquest.  In the days of Hazrat Umar [the third Caliph of (Arab) Muslims], the rich and content neighboring countries of Syria, Iraq and Egypt were conquered.

On the one hand, this brought great wealth to the poverty stricken Arabs, and on the other, it increased their military power and national pride.  In the days of the first two Caliphs, there was some attempt to maintain the standards of decency and traditions of the Prophet, but this created such a reaction in the country that one of these Caliphs was assassinated.

5. The Banu Umaya Empire

If wealth, property and other goods make life easier, they also create some personality defects.  The result was that after the martyrdom of Hazrat Ali, factional warfare broke out among tribalist and power-hungry Arabs.  Finally, the Bani Umaya household forcefully crushed the other contenders and became all-powerful.

Says Shaikh Sadi [Persian sufi poet]:

    Having conquered seven countries        
    The greed of kings is not reduced    
    If the saintly ones get but half a loaf        
    They eat half again and spare the rest for others

 Tribal warfare was sharply reduced in the days of Abdul Malik.  After having controlled internal turmoil, he made plans to expand the Banu Umaya empire.  They took the name of Islam but their intent was to loot and plunder the wealth of others.  Some Islamic historians hold that after the Prophet, there has been no Islamic government, but some others hold that a little attention to his teachings was paid during the first four Caliphs.  In any event, afterwards the governments were not Islamic, but in reality were in the hands of Sultans who ruled for their personal, tribal and factional advantage.

During the time of Abdul Malik, the rule was for the benefit of this sort.  Historians know that the tyranny and massacres committed by Commander Hajjaj bin Yousuf is of such magnitude that Satan himself would be ashamed to lay claim to it, let alone Muslims.

Perhaps one example would be sufficient to illustrate this.  Once thousands of people had gathered to pray at the Grand Mosque of Kufa, and the religious scholars, saints, and descendants of the Prophet were among them.  While giving a sermon there, Hajjaj bin Yousuf declared "Today, seeing the fruit is ripe, I wish to pluck it."  Then he proceeded to order the massacre of those present, resulting in the slaughter of thousands of Muslims.

At his death, a hundred thousand prisoners languished in pathetic conditions.

Moreover, another example of his tyranny is that without just cause, he attacked other free countries to loot their wealth, enslave their citizens and turn their women into concubines.  He then declared the sale of these humans as the glorious deed of Islam!

In the days of this king, his forces were sent in three different directions to conquer different countries.  One was sent to the West under the command of Musa Ashri which made conquests till Spain.  To the North, armies were dispatched under the command of Qutiba bin Muslim, and these captured Samarkand and Bukhara.  Towards the east, Hajjaj son of Yousuf sent an army under the command of his son-in-law Mohammed son of Qasim.  Before this attempt, they had made fourteen unsuccessful attempts to conquer Sindh.

6. Victory of Islam?

Raja Dahar fought with great courage against the army of Mohammed bin Qasim's in order to defend Sindh's territory and honor but the Raja was killed and the country captured by the Arab.  The conquest netted the Arabs millions worth of property and thousands of Sindhi men and women were taken and sold in slavery.

Now the question arises: should the conquest of Arabs be called fair and a victory for Islam, or should it be considered the expansionism of Arab Kings with imperialist ambitions who were engaged in un-Islamic greedy subjugation of other nations?  To gain a perspective on this question, it is necessary that we understand the viewpoints of two different groups of Muslims.

The first group believes that the purpose of Islam was to eliminate the barriers in the name of creed, caste, race, nation, and color and to promote unity of humanity, peace, progress and prosperity.  It is the natural religion which all prophets have propagated from the beginning of civilization.  It was not a new religion but, according to it, behind the manifest differences of different religions, the same foundation of unity exists.  Contentiousness, hatred, division, self-centeredness are obstacles in its path.  Compulsion in the matter of religion is unjust.  The Prophet of God is a mercy for ALL humanity.  His goal was to free the slaves, end looting, and establish peace and justice on earth -- i.e., definitely not to do those things which others did after him: to colonize other countries in the name of Islam, loot and plunder, and enslave free people.

The second group claims Islam is a new, complete, universal religion and after its coming all other religions are "defunct" and the new pillars of religion are proclaiming unity of God, ritual prayer, pilgrimage, ritual fasting, and charity to Muslims.  To impose this religious code of conduct by force, which they term 'Jihad' (Crusade), they consider causing bloodshed, conquering other countries, looting and plundering, enslaving men and women and selling them like cattle, etc., to be fair conduct.

Looking at the beliefs and conduct of the second of these two ideologies, non-Muslim scholars and historians have called Islam the religion of dacoits, thieves, and decadent hedonists.  They say that people converted to it through the force of the sword, otherwise what would attract someone to follow such a religion?  To remove such misconceptions, Muslim scholars and saints have shown that the true Islam is the one shown by the first group.  In recent times, this group is represented by Sir Syed Ahmad Khan and Khwaja Kamaluddin, whose rejoinders are worth reading.  They claim that (true) Islam did not spread through weapons and violence but through the battle for the heart and its principles.  The aggression of Muslim rulers towards other countries, loot and plunder, and other oppression have no relation to Islam.  The Mullah's interpretation of Islam is not correct.

To this day, Muslims are divided in these two ideological groups.  Of these, one is called the Mullahs' group and the other Saints' group. We are followers of the Saints, therefore, we do not consider the "accomplishments" of Mohammed bin Qasim as bearing any relation to Islam; nor do we consider him a veteran of Islam, nor a flag bearer of Islam; instead we consider him a tyrant, a destroyer of Sindh's freedom, honor, wealth and a looter.  We consider him a member of a mafia which not only sold Sindhi men and women as slaves, looted the country, but in fact were enemies of the prophet's descendants, decadent hedonist, enemies of the fundamental principles of Islam, and murderers of Muslims.

7. The Love of One's Country

We consider the great Prophet as the grace of all humankind, and his two quotes still ring in our ears:

-- "Love of one's country is a part of one's faith."

-- There is a pleasant breeze from the direction of Sindh.

Knowing this, is it possible that we would believe the love of Sindh is fair, but yet consider foreign dominion of it and the cruelty inflicted by foreigners as fair!

We are of the opinion that it is incumbent on all to love their country: one who is not patriotic has no faith, and without faith, one cannot be a true Muslim.

Sindh has been a center of civilization and culture for over 5,000 years.  At the time of the great Prophet, there was not a single Muslim in Sindh, but the people were Hindus and Buddhists -- then his expression that he felt a pleasant breeze from there must have some significance.

Under these circumstances, how can we consider the forcible end to our country's independence, forcing its people to be slaves, and looting its vast wealth -- fair and just according to true Islam?

If some folks consider such actions to be Islamic, they are entitled to their personal opinion; everyone is entitled to their personal opinion.  After all, there are still some people who consider Imam Hussain [martyred grandson of the Prophet] unjust and Yazid [the king who ordered his assassination] righteous.  They consider every action of Yazid and his household 'Islamic'.  This groups includes not only the theologians of that time but many of the present time.

They should have every right to have such an opinion and we want to respect their rights.  But we consider the invasion of Muhammad bin Qasim against the principles of Islam and a case of tyranny.

There are still thousands of people in Sindh who find it no embarrassment to call themselves Dahari's.  The great Sindhi scholar and elder, Maulana Abul Hassan found nothing wrong in calling himself Dahari.  We have no objection if the partisans of Muhammad bin Qasim call themselves Yazidis [note: 'Yazidi' is often used as an epithet].

Humans are created from a speck which grows as tissue.  Tissue (in human or nonhuman animals) is formed by ingesting food.  Food is made from grains, vegetables or meat.  All these are directly or indirectly the products of soil and water.  Observe, for example, that one seed produces thousands of seeds, which are nourished by soil and water. Thus everything is the product of the soil and water of one's country. This is the real parentage of every person.  The Holy Quran also states: "Verily, We have created every human from a speck of dust."

From this point of view, the one who is not loyal to their country is not a legitimate progeny (loyal child).  Keeping this in mind, I do not hesitate to call Raja Dahar a hallowed martyr who sacrificed his life defending the independence, honor, and dignity of Sindh.

Let the Yazidis feel offended by my characterization.  Imam Hussain, grandson of the Prophet, could not escape the enmity of such people and I am but like a little fist full of dust at his door.

If you desire to be a warrior 
Forget fears that gnaw 
Throw spears, fight boldly 
Do not hide behind your shield 
Wield your sword 
Strike, that you stout become          
-- Shah Latif

8. The Character of Raja Dahir

Some people make slanderous accusations about Raja Dahir in order to provide a justification for the bad deeds of their heros.  Let us examine some of these few accusations, the principal ones of which are as follows:

1. He married his sister

2. He imprisoned and robbed some Arab people.

3. He abused Buddhists and non-Brahmins.

4. He was a decadent hedonist and a tyrant.

Observe that it is the work of every group that has been the victor to slander the vanquished party, to defame them, and thus to provide a justification, even though is is their behavior that is most unjust and diabolical.. many such examples exist in history.  History has often been written by those in the pay of the victors.

[four specific examples of victors' version of rewriting history skipped for brevity]

Let us carefully examine each of the allegations against Raja Dahar in turn.

1. Forget sisters, Hindu Brahmins consider marrying their cousins improper.  So the accusation that he married his sister appears to   be fallacious.  The evidence offered for this accusation is that he   refused to give his sister's hand to some petty chieftain.  But  everyone knows that Hindus were endogamous within castes and status.   Thus if he refused to allow his sister's wedding to someone of a lower caste, is it reasonable to say that he had done so to marry his   own sister?  It is an ill-intentioned, bald lie.

2. The second allegation against him that has been made is that he   had some gifts, which the Arab ruler was sending to the King   of Ceylon, pirated, and the Arab sailors, arrested.  There is also   no evidence offered here either -- to show that Raja Dahar did such   a deed.  There was plenty of piracy in those days.  It is entirely   possible that some pirates did this, but what possible advantage   could a great king like Raja Dahar derive from such petty piracy?   To make this a pretext for an invasion is entirely fraudulent and merely slanderous.

History states that even before the successful conquest of Sindh, the Arabs attacked 14 times -- what was their justification for   these attacks?   Is it that the attacks on Samarkand, Bukhara,   Morocco, Spain also to get compensated for something?

One cannot hide the true facts of history.  It is clear that the   Arab rulers, like all imperialist powers, had the goal of   colonizing other nations.  If we regard Roman, Mongolian, British   and French imperialists wrong and tyrannical, how then can we call   similar action by Arabs fair, and not merely fair but in the glory   of Islam?  Does the respect for Islam increase by such actions or   is it slandered?

3. The third allegation that is made against him is that he was cruel towards Buddhists and other non-Hindus -- but we can't find evidence   of this either.  It is a historical fact that when Raja Chandersen,   brother of Raja Chuch, reigned, he encouraged Buddhism.  He gave special concessions to Buddhists bhikshus and monks.  It is also no   secret that the Brahmins can be religiously bigoted even more than   Mullahs.  Their actions eliminated Buddhism in much of India.  But   Sindh was that country where Buddhism flourished.  Their presence is a testament to the liberalness of Raja Dahar.  During his reign,   two governors were Buddhists.  Not only that, but an Arab Muslim Mohammed Alafi and his whole tribe, who were fleeing persecution of   Banu Umayas, was granted asylum by Raja Dahar.  Raja Dahar was so   generous with them that they were permitted to stamp coins which bore Alafi's name on one face.   Examples of such generosity are rare indeed in history.

Accusing such a generous minded king of being   prejudiced, made as it is by people whose own history is a   testament to narrow-mindedness and bigotry, is nothing short of   malicious.

4. The fourth charge laid against Raja Dahar is that he was hedonistic   and cruel.  Heaven knows what the intent of the slanderers is in using such terms.  Who is the real criminal?  The ones who sent two   daughters of the Raja as a "gift", the adulterer who married their   mother forcibly, those who considered it proper to make Sindhi   women slaves and have illicit relations with them -- such rapists, the ones who sold thousands of Sindhis into slavery; or the one who   gave his life defending his country?

 9. Epilogue

In 712 A.D., Raja Dahar was martyred fighting for the cause of Sindh Every true Sindhi should admire his sacrifice and accomplishment.  I will consider him the first among the among the hallowed circle of those who laid down their life for Sindh.  After him, Sindh was under the tutelage of aliens for 340 years, until the Sindhi clan of Soomra's restored a purely Sindhi government once more.

'bhaggo' aaon na chavaan,

 Kalyan Advani gives its meaning as follows (my translation):

"[A consort of a brave says:] I will not say that my man has run away from battle, but I would believe if he died.  I will admire the wounds he receives in the front, but die of shame if he is wounded in the back (running away from battle)".
