Thank you for this glowing tribute. An example of the magnanimity of India's heart (the old version of it). Khaled Ahmed's loss has left the Indian subcontinent a poorer place. The tragedy is... That tribe of people...is shrinking...even as the population is about one and a half billion in the region. In old Urdu (which was born in old Utter Pradesh), the term for such scarcity was "Qeht er Rijaal"... Qeht being a word for famine when there is a scarcity of food. In Qeht er Rijaal, there is a scarcity of wise men. And so we mourn together in this, Shekhar Sir. Best wishes from Balochistan

So Khaled warned SG about Zakhir Naik in 1993 and in 2010 when SG interviewed Zakhir, he begins by calling Zakhir a rockstar. In 2024, SG knows he is getting called out for this, so he covers his tracks by saying he couldn't pin down Zakhir. Any surprise that nobody trusts journalists?

@@BharatThatIsIndia Initially Pakistanis were super thrilled for they thought Zakir Naik will present a decorated , dressed up version of islam to the world.

Why is it always on Hindus? Possibly because Hindus are more in India. It is very easy to demonstrate Hindus will do bad to muslims than it is to show the muslims doing bad to Hindus. That is one reason why Hindus might get lectured more on this since Hindus actually are seen as the Elder sibling here. The younger sibling will always be the younger sibling.

There are instances in India where Hindus were asked stop following their religious rituals as it offends religious beliefs of other community. Pakistan, Bangladesh we were all part of same fabric, but as soon as these two countries separated, Hindus those are in smaller number there comparatively, were made 2nd class citizen. History shows what Hindu lost, lost roots of the civilization when Sindh was taken away. All Hindu sacred sites were lost.

Wrong....India's victory in the war of 1971 did not "achieve peace" because India did not complete the task! After Bangladesh was liberated Indira Gandhi under pressure from Soviet Union, China and USA did not listen to Gen. Sam Manekshaw who was ready focus on West Pakistan and liberate occupied Kashmir. Had Indira Gandhi followed his advice, the Kashmir problem would have been over once and for all. Unfortunately Pakistan was allowed to breathe and rise again to only conduct terrorism and another war in Kargil. The 1971 war no doubt is a victory but the overall mission was left unaccomplished. Just for analogy had the Russians and Allies not completely eradicated the Nazis and occupied Germany; a ceasefire agreement or peace would have surely let Hitler and Germans re group and continue the war after a few years

People of Kashmir, especially the Muslim population living in IOK, move on with their lives and not remain stuck in a perpetual conflict.

@@haiderkhagga since you and your Pakististani counterpart reply periodically, all I can say is that you both are entitled to your viewpoints, believe whatever, or propaganda or some conspiracy theory or anything as Pakistanis are known for that! Fact is India can easily dismember Pakistan again; like it could have after the liberation of Bangladesh. After 93,000 of your soldiers surrendered in Dhaka, India was prevented from international pressure especially from Nixon-Kissinger, Britain and China to not continue the war on the western front. Indian navy had already blockaded Karachi harbor and its was a matter of time that Pakistan would collapse without fuel, arms, food etc. Though I admit that it would be tough even now for the Indian army to advance into Pakistan occupied Kashmir due to the terrain which is a natural defense. But that's not how India will get back the rest of occupied Kashmir; as in 1965 India army will open another front by advancing through the plains of north Sindh and south Punjab while the Indian navy will blockade the coast wile the Indian Air Force will destroy your defenses and maintain complete air dominance over Pakistani airspace. This time daddy USA will not come to your rescue or appeal for a cease fire and Pakistan will collapse. India will regain control over Gilgit and rest of Kashmir while Afghanistan will integrate KPK and Waziristan region back into its territory. Some parts of Baluchistan will be taken by Iran while it will become a free new country. Sindh may too declare independence and finally Punjab will be the only part calling itself Pakistan. This is going to happen within a decade so be prepared

Chapter 8 of Quran is titled "Al-Anfal" which literally means "Spoils of War". The spoils of war includes wealth, men, women and children (to be used as slaves). This chapter was delivered by Mohammed after the battle of Badr, when his Jihadi Sahaaba started bickering over grabbing this or that item from the spoils or loots. So, Muhammad came up with this Sura (chapter) as divine resolution to bickering over the booty. Muhammad wanted his cut as a leader of the newly-formed Muslim tribe. Through this Sura, Muhammad established a 20% cut of the loot as his personal share. But he made it in a ?divine? way, making ?Allah? also a shareholder of that 20%, which Allah certainly never came down to acquire. One can see Muhammad's naked trickery here. Allah does not need to wage war or attack others in greed for loots. What would Allah need the loots for? It is in fact Muhammad who needed the loots. Ibn Ishaq, a famous Arab muslim historian of 7th century records that after butchering 800 Jews of Banu Qurayza tribe: "The apostle sent Sa?d b. Zayd al-Ansari? with some of the captive women of Banu Qurayza to Najd and he sold them for horses and weapons" [Ibn Ishaq, The Life of Muhammad, (translation A Guillaume), Oxford University Press, Karachi, 2004 imprint, p.465]. No man in his senses can accept a man who sells women to buy weapons as a Prophet of God. All muslim invaders to India (Mohammed Qasim, Ghazni, Ghouri etc.) dutifully sent 20% of the loot, men and women slaves to the Caliphs in middle east, as per the teachings of Quran in Sura 8. It is clear that Mohammad was not more than a desert thief and bandit. In fact, he was a leader of a gang of desert thieves and bandits and Quran is his loot manual. One of the reasons of muslim poverty is that, with the decline of Islamic power, the loot business they ran successfully for 1300 years has come to an end.

His obvious admiration and liking for you reflects very well on you. Mr Ahmed's family will be so grateful for your moving obituary. Well done. I was born less than a decade after your countries became independent - my family had a centuries long connection with India through the Raj. It has always puzzled me why two such genetically similar peoples could be so antagonistic to each other. The only conclusion anyone can come to is the cancer of militant religiosity. The toxicity of some forms of applied Islam needs no explanation - it is so obvious. However, Hinduism used to be such a benign and gentle religion. How did India end up with the RSS, BJP and Modi? Is there any way that mainstream Hinduism can reclaim its ancient peacefulness?

Well looks like a nice guy who read the writing on the wall....but then millions of Indians decades ago would have also read the writing on the wall.

Nope, they couldn't about India. India is a food terrorist country-no one predicted that. In North India, Brahmavad is legalized and Hindus are forced to convert to Brahmavad-no one predicted. Rama, a god of non-vegetarians and killer of Brahmins, will be Brahmanized-no one predicted.

It's not that Zakir N was too smooth, it is that Indian secularists deliberately looked the other way to prove their secular credentials. The fact that it took Pakistanis to show what he really stands for frankly reflects pretty poorly on Indian intellectuals and all those people who used to host and gush over him.
