- W289721557 abstract "AbstractThe Indian Muslims have been facing serious setbacks since the independence despite the Indian government declared to have secular system. In many domains of life, the Indian Muslims are being deprived of their legal rights. Having profound percentage of the population, they played excellent role in divergent fields of life but their services are hardly appreciated by their governments.Key words: Muslim, India, Congress, secular, minority The Muslim community constitutes over 12 percent of the total population, the second single community in the Indian Union and the third largest Muslim population in the world. A study about the Indian Muslims can be done on linguistic, political, economic and religious basis.Political parties play vital and significant role in the politics of the country. In India there is multiparty system but the Congress had been ruled throughout India. The Congress emerged as the single party after independence as natural instrument it was dominate party committed to socialization and to protection of minorities. Muslims supported the Congress and it is evident from the number of the Muslim votes received the Congress candidates in general elections.Jawaharlal Nehru, the Prime Minister of India soon after the partition in his speech declared:-All of us, to whatever religion we may belong, are equally the children of India. We cannot encourage communalist or narrow- mindedness. No nation can be great whose people are narrow minded in thoughts or action. It is an India permeated by this spirit, even alter the partition of India and creation of Pakistan, that 50 million Muslims continue to live and enjoy all the rights and privileges of full citizenship (Gauba, K.L, n.d.:19).After the independence, the assessment of the riots reveals that they were planned by the business rivals, politicians and criminals who wanted to benefit from these riots. At another occasion, Jawaharlal Nehru stated:The fate of India is largely tied up with the Hindu outlook. If the present Hindu outlook does not change radically I am quite sure that India is doomed. The Muslim outlook may be and, I think, is often worse. But it does not make very much difference to the future of India (Khalidi Omar, 1996:26).We can divide our study about Congress and Indian government's policies dealing with the minorities especially Muslims into two phases, the first start from 1947-1977 and second from 1977-2004.First Phase 1947-1977Rajni Kothari who developed the model of Congress system asserts that the Congress party based upon a bread consensus and was able to accommodate diverse interests and factions within its fold. These factions competed with each other but usually reached compromises without creating any breakdown of the system.Whereas Gandhi is called father of the nation, Jawaharlal Nehru is credited with building India's modern political institutions and laying the foundations of its economic and foreign policies. In 1947, Nehru became independent India's first Prime Minister, and held this dominating position until his death on May 24, 1964. Shastri became the Prime Minister of India on the same platform. It was a crucial and painful period when his government introduced family planning which was deadly opposed by the Muslims.Jawaharlal Nehru's commitment to the democratic institutions and his faith in science, technology, and the industrialization for the development of his country was deeply influenced by his political thought. He valued individual freedom and believed that only in a democratic system an individual can realize his or her full potential. Although the introduction of a parliamentary system in India based on the British model may be attributed to the collective efforts of western educated elite. It was Nehru, as the first Prime Minister who put it into practice.As a modernist, Nehru considered science-based technology the key to the future prosperity and transformation of Indian society. …" @default.
