Mangaluru, Nov 12: The leaders of Muslim community in the coastal city of Mangaluru including religious heads have unanimously condemned the offensive social media post on the demise of BJP veteran and union minister Ananth Kumar.

Hours after the death of the minister, a Facebook page titled ‘Mangalore Muslims’ termed Ananth Kumar as a “communal” and “Brahmin conspirator”. It went on to say that he should not take a rebirth to destroy this country again. The Mangaluru South Police have registered a case against the unknown admin of the Facebook page over the post.

Within minutes, the distasteful post received hundreds of critical comments from different sections of society including Muslims who felt that the page has been run by some miscreants with the sole intention of defaming Muslims of Mangaluru and triggering anti-Muslim sentiments in the society.

Besides, local representatives of religious organisations of Muslims such as Jamaat-e-Islami Hind, Jamiyyathul Ulama, Imams Council, Jamiat Ahle Hadith etc have urged the police to trace and arrest the admin of the Facebook page.

“This is not the first time the ‘Mangalore Muslims’ Facebook page posting ugly and communally provocative message. It has been constantly trying to defame Muslims in general and Muslims of Mangaluru in particular through provocative messages and memes in the name of Muslims,” commented one Anis Ahmed from Mangaluru.

“The ‘Mangalore Muslims’ Facebook should change its name as ‘Mangalore anti-Muslims’, because no Muslim can curse the dead. Speaking ill of the dead is not our culture. Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has taught Muslims to talk good or remain silent,” stated Saiful Islam, another commenter from Mangaluru.

Wat dodanna said is correct, but i want to add some points too. There are many chaddi groups which are continuously spreading hatred against one or two religions! I request Mangalore administration to look into all such groups (both side) and ban those groups!! In short i want to see Facebook itself getting banned in Mangalore!! We can leave in peace if this thing gets banned!

No muslim will give bad comment on any dead person.  I am sure that bad comments by Mangalore Muslims facebook admin is created by anti nationals to defame Muslims.   I am also sure that this face book account is established by same group who are behind creating Indian mujahideen, love jihad etc which are totally false and do not exist in reality.   These are only imaginery organisation created by anti Muslims and anti Indians.   Police should catch the real admin of Mangalore Muslims facebook account and do not arrest innocents just to fill the blank.   Strict action should be taken against the culprits.   In the meantime, i extend my heartfelt condolence to the family of deceased Anant Kumar.    None should have right to criticise any dead person.

Now in this advanced technology and system it is easy to trace out such culprits. Police department must immediately take action against such person.

If the dept neglect then such incidents will repeat again n again.

Crtisizing and giving bad and communal comments against dead person and against wise rulers are now a days more and more in India.Even some news channels also supporting to such thus. 

It is not accepted.

Kozhikode, Jan 18: A "fifth-generation dynast" Rahul Gandhi has no chance in Indian politics against a "hard-working and self-made" Narendra Modi, and Kerala did a disastrous thing by electing the the Congress leader to Parliament, historian Ramachandra Guha said here on Friday.

Guha said the reduction of the Congress from a "great party" during the freedom movement to a "pathetic family firm" now is one of the reasons for the ascendency of Hindutva and jingoism in India.

"I have nothing against Rahul Gandhi personally. He is a decent fellow, very well-mannered. But young India does not want a fifth-generation dynast. If you Malyalis make the mistake of re-electing Rahul Gandhi in 2024 too, you are merely handing over an advantage to Narendra Modi," said Guha on the second day of the ongoing Kerala Literature Festival (KLF) during his talk, "Patriotism Vs Jingoism".

Addressing the crowd, full of Keralites, he said, "Kerala, you have done many wonderful things for India, but one of the disastrous thing you did was to elect Rahul Gandhi to Parliament."

"Narendra Modi's great advantage is that he is not Rahul Gandhi. He is self-made. He has run a state for 15 years, he has an administrative experience, he is incredibly hard working and he never takes holidays in Europe. Believe me I am saying all this in all seriousness," he said.

But, even if Rahul Gandhi was "much more intelligent, more hard-working, never took a holiday in Europe, as a fifth generation dynast he still will be at a disadvantage against a self-made person", the 61-year-old author said.

He took on Congress president Sonia Gandhi too who, he said, reminded him of the "late Mughal dynasty" and how aloof they were of the state of their kingdom.

"India is becoming more democratic and less feudal, and the Gandhis just don't realise this. You (Sonia) are in Delhi, your kingdom is shrinking more and more but still your chamchas (sycophants) are telling you that you are still the badshah," he said.

Further, he quoted his teacher and noted Indian sociologist Andre Beteille to describe the story of Nehru-Gandhi family as a classic "reversal of the famous Biblical injunction": the sins of the father will be visited upon seven successive generations.

"In the Nehru's case, it is the sins of the seven successive generations have been re-visited upon Nehru... look at the national debate today. Why is Nehru evoked everytime? Why does Modi always say Nehru ne Kashmir mein yeh kiya, China mein yeh kiya, Triple Talaq mein yeh kiye ... because Rahul Gandhi is there.

"Now if Rahul Gandhi disappears, Modi has to talk about his own policies and why they failed," he said.

According to Guha, "Hypocrisy of the Indian Left -- the fact that they loved other nations more than India", "rise of aggressive nationalism worldwide" and "the rise of Islamic fundamentalism in neighbouring countries" are some other reasons behind the evident leap of Hindutva in India in the recent times.

Historian William Dalrymple, novelists like Benyamin, Namita Gokhale, Chetan Bhagat and journalists Karan Thapar and Rajdeep Sardesai are among the many other writers who will be attending the four-day festival.

The focus theme of KLF 2020 is environment and climate change.
