HINDUTVA
Treason and Terrorism
By I K SHUKLA
184 pages p/b
ISBN 81-7221-026-4
Year: 2005
Publishers: Pharos Media & Publ. Pvt. Ltd.
The threat of totalitarian theocracy engulfing the land is looming lethal and large on the socio-political landscape of India. It is not only the minorities, the putative âothersâ, who are targeted as victims but also all kinds of dissenters and independents. This is where the nation appears hanging on the brink of an abyss. The fact is, both demographically and ideologically, it is not the non-Hindus or the independents who are in a minority. It is the fascists, swaddled in saffron, who constitute the minority. And, to overcome this handicap, the saffron minority, like all fascist formations in history, resorts to massive vandalism and violence on a regular basis. Sowing division and discord, therefore, is essential to its unholy project, entailing social disruption and endangering national security.

Articles on Gujarat and Hindutva
The Path of the Parivar
By Mukul Dube

The articles in this book have their roots in recent events. Their theme is the carnage in Gujarat in 2002 and the physical and intellectual savagery of the Sangh Parivar. They look at how the Sangh Parivar systematically distorts history, works against the Constitution of the Republic of India and throws into the waste bin all those ideas of civilisation that have arisen after mediaeval times and on which all modern societies are based. The author has drawn on published reports to show how the leaders of the Sangh Parivar routinely use hedging, deception and outright lies to pursue their vicious ends.

Islam & Ahmadism
By Muhammad Iqbal
48 pp. (PB)
Qadianism, or Ahmadism as its followers call it, was a rebellion against Islam - a sort of fith column to destroy Islam from within. It was a British imperialist need to blunt Muslim resistance to the colonial power. The founder of the new faith, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian, was never ashamed of his services to the British Empire.
Over the years a lie has been spread in the Subcontinent the Iqbal, the great poet-philosopher of the Orient and an ardent defender of pristine Islam, was a Qadiani himself! This lie has been lapped up by the Hindutva press in India.
This work shows that on the contrary Iqbal was forcefully opposed to Qadianism and regarded it as a rebellion against Islam. Here he responds to certain observation of Pandit Nehru (which are also reproduced).

Minorities play an important role in nation building, and Indian Muslims are no exception to this.

Broad-mindedness and high character are the qualities described as âKhuluq-e-Azeemâ in the Quran. Muslims should adopt these qualities in letter and spirit to be worthy of their religion.

Communal rage In Secular India
By Rafique Zakaria
250 pp. (HB)
Why did the torching of 58 kar sevaks in the Sabarmati Express at Godhra take place? It was undoubtedly the work of some demented persons, insensitive to tits possible aftermath. Worse, how did genocide on such a brutal scale in most of parts of Gujarat occur? And that too in a state which gave birth to Gandhi and nurtured him! Never before were women and children burnt and butchered in such a bestial manner. The miscreants, incited by communal Hindus unleashed such a terrible reign of murder, rape and loot that history itself stood aghast at what is was forced to record.

Undoing India the RSS way
By Shamsul Islam
96 pp. (PB)
This book is useful in the present times when the RSS is showing up its colours, more and more starkly, in a number of areas. The communal carnage in Gujarat has exposed the diabloic plans of RSS. The Babri Masjid demolition and riots across the country; the attempts at the Brahmanisation of Education and communalisation of the civil services were some other instances which unmasked RSS and other agencies of the Sangh Gang. The author traces the plans, policies and propositions of the RSS to their origins, in the words/publications of the RSS itself, so that there is no room for alleging misrepresentation.

Secular Horror: 15 years ordeal with Indian secularism
By Mustafa Kamal Sherwani

'The article contains objectionable material which is violative of sections 124A and 505(b) of the Indian Penal Code.'
FIR 18 March 1985
________________________________________
'The accused are....acquitted of the charges framed against them in this case'
Judgement 25 July 2000
It is not a simple line that divides the two sentences above, but a traumatic and painful story spread over one and a half decades.
If hands of persons like SP Vishnoi and AS Khullar continue to be the custodians of secularism in our country, countless Sherwanis, Rizvis and Waraqwalas will have similar anguished tales to tell in future. A single sweeping and irresponsible remark will be enough to spoil the better part of the life of a citizen.. And the Constitution with all its lofty ideals like the fundamental rights and directive principles will remain mute spectator. This is the story of one such ordeal.

By Nur Ali Qabobe
151 pp.
There is a mother called Somalia. She is emotional, weeping, bleeding; humiliated by her own sons. They gang-raped her, committing the crime of incest. Whenever she is sufficiently recovered from her ordeal to rise to collect food for her sons, they again gang-rape her. After this humiliation, she struggles up again, driven by the force of a motherâs tenderness. She tries to prepare food for them. They cannot wait because they are too impatient. They loot the food before it can be cooked. Their mother repeatedly suffers for their sake and begs them to teach themselves to be organized, disciplined and develop respect for humanity but they remain wedded to chaos and blundering. This is a mother who desperately needs to be rescued from her own sonsâ monstrous deeds.

What is riba?
By Iqbal Ahmad Khan Suhail
200 pp. (hardback)
Available now in new edited Urdu edition as well as English and Arabic translations.
A number of works deal with the issue of riba (usury) in Islam, but none of them is as comprehensive as this work which first appeared in 1936. This new edited version, together with Arabic and English translations, has been brought out in order to enrich the debate on this vital issue.
The author, Allamah Iqbal Suhail (d. 1955), was a highly learned scholar of Islam and had deep knowledge of modern issues. He is know in the Subcontinent as a distinguished Urdu poet, freedom fighter and lawyer. With this background, he was most suited to deal with religious issues in the light of the requirements of the modern age.
Allamah Suhail discusses the opinions of the fuqaha in detail and shows that they confused riba with muratala (barter) and sarf (exchange) which have little to do with riba. He shows that riba concerns only the bai al-salaf (credit/deferred) transactions. After a thorough discussion of the Islamic texts on the issue, Suhail puts forward his authoritative definition of riba and where it is applicable.

Communal rage In Secular India
By Rafique Zakaria
250 pp. (HB)
Why did the torching of 58 kar sevaks in the Sabarmati Express at Godhra take place? It was undoubtedly the work of some demented persons, insensitive to tits possible aftermath. Worse, how did genocide on such a brutal scale in most of parts of Gujarat occur? And that too in a state which gave birth to Gandhi and nurtured him! Never before were women and children burnt and butchered in such a bestial manner. The miscreants, incited by communal Hindus unleashed such a terrible reign of murder, rape and loot that history itself stood aghast at what is was forced to record.

Undoing India the RSS way
By Shamsul Islam
96 pp. (PB)
This book is useful in the present times when the RSS is showing up its colours, more and more starkly, in a number of areas. The communal carnage in Gujarat has exposed the diabloic plans of RSS. The Babri Masjid demolition and riots across the country; the attempts at the Brahmanisation of Education and communalisation of the civil services were some other instances which unmasked RSS and other agencies of the Sangh Gang. The author traces the plans, policies and propositions of the RSS to their origins, in the words/publications of the RSS itself, so that there is no room for alleging misrepresentation.

Secular Horror: 15 years ordeal with Indian secularism
By Mustafa Kamal Sherwani
96 pp.
'The article contains objectionable material which is violative of sections 124A and 505(b) of the Indian Penal Code.'
FIR 18 March 1985
________________________________________
'The accused are....acquitted of the charges framed against them in this case'
Judgement 25 July 2000
It is not a simple line that divides the two sentences above, but a traumatic and painful story spread over one and a half decades.
If hands of persons like SP Vishnoi and AS Khullar continue to be the custodians of secularism in our country, countless Sherwanis, Rizvis and Waraqwalas will have similar anguished tales to tell in future. A single sweeping and irresponsible remark will be enough to spoil the better part of the life of a citizen.. And the Constitution with all its lofty ideals like the fundamental rights and directive principles will remain mute spectator. This is the story of one such ordeal.

Somalia: From Nation-State to Tribal Mutiny
By Nur Ali Qabobe
151 pp.
There is a mother called Somalia. She is emotional, weeping, bleeding; humiliated by her own sons. They gang-raped her, committing the crime of incest. Whenever she is sufficiently recovered from her ordeal to rise to collect food for her sons, they again gang-rape her. After this humiliation, she struggles up again, driven by the force of a motherâs tenderness. She tries to prepare food for them. They cannot wait because they are too impatient. They loot the food before it can be cooked. Their mother repeatedly suffers for their sake and begs them to teach themselves to be organized, disciplined and develop respect for humanity but they remain wedded to chaos and blundering. This is a mother who desperately needs to be rescued from her own sonsâ monstrous deeds.

What is riba?
By Iqbal Ahmad Khan Suhail
200 pp. (hardback)
Available now in new edited Urdu edition as well as English and Arabic translations.
A number of works deal with the issue of riba (usury) in Islam, but none of them is as comprehensive as this work which first appeared in 1936. This new edited version, together with Arabic and English translations, has been brought out in order to enrich the debate on this vital issue.
The author, Allamah Iqbal Suhail (d. 1955), was a highly learned scholar of Islam and had deep knowledge of modern issues. He is know in the Subcontinent as a distinguished Urdu poet, freedom fighter and lawyer. With this background, he was most suited to deal with religious issues in the light of the requirements of the modern age.
Allamah Suhail discusses the opinions of the fuqaha in detail and shows that they confused riba with muratala (barter) and sarf (exchange) which have little to do with riba. He shows that riba concerns only the bai al-salaf (credit/deferred) transactions. After a thorough discussion of the Islamic texts on the issue, Suhail puts forward his authoritative definition of riba and where it is applicable.
