Indian Muslim: Identity Reconciliation.
I am an Indian Muslim, so I carry two identities: Indian and Muslim. Many non-Muslims find it challenging to understand how these can coexist, just because in their minds, they are unbridgeable opposites. But let me be clear: I’m under no obligation to accept their version of Islam or their idea of India. I’ve found my own way of living in peace with both.
And now if your itch is to point to the Abdul in your neighborhood, who can't reconcile these identities or hold a combination of values that do not reconcile, read carefully:
Muslims are not a monolith. Every Muslim has their own mind. I don’t speak for all Muslims, and I don’t need every Muslim’s approval to form or express a thought. Before judging me, step out of this shallow, oversimplified image of what "a Muslim" is.
Some non-Muslims claim Islam is illogical or immoral, based on their own limited interpretations. Again, I’m not bound by their understanding. I engage with Islam in a way that is rational, ethical, and relevant to the modern world.
Most importantly, when I share an analysis or opinion on any random topic, people often derail the conversation by questioning Islam or my identity as an Indian Muslim. That’s a stealth ad hominem, a tactic to deflect from uncomfortable truths or to discredit me personally.
The implication is this: "Since you're reconciling Islam, Indianness, and modernity in a way I don’t understand, you're unreliable, so you shouldn't be talking at all."
That’s not just flawed, it’s dishonest. No one is 100% consistent in all their thoughts, or even if they think they are, the entire world can't draw a consensus on their consistency. Requiring someone to resolve every question about their identity, ideas, or beliefs before speaking on any issue is a meaningless and absurd standard. People do this not out of intellectual curiosity, but because they’re uncomfortable with what I’m saying and lack the arguments to counter it.
So no, I don’t entertain such distractions in random threads.
If you genuinely want to discuss Islam, or how I reconcile what you think are contradictions, start a new thread, write clearly, and tag me. Otherwise, don’t expect a reply.
My posts and comments follow my framework. They are internally consistent, even if they don’t align with your views of Islam. If I’m talking about India’s politics or international affairs, I’m not going to debate polygamy, the Mughals, or why Pakistan exists. Save those for relevant discussions.
Let’s keep conversations focused and honest. Respect that, and I’ll engage.
Riyazuddin Mansoori. Plz read this name again. He saved eight lives in Delhi hotel fire.
Mansoori n his son Arman, took out 20-25 mattresses from his shop n kept outside window of the hotel where fire broke out. So that people stuck inside could jump.
Eight people could save their lives because of Mansoori family. He didn't think about loss of a few lakhs of mattresses.
He himself might don't want to boast. But this is for everyone who try to criminalise every act by Muslims.
The SC has finally delivered its judgement justifying the SIR process many months after the elections in many states on the basis of this SIR were conducted by a totally partisan ECI in which more than 10% voters were deleted, by a totally non transparent process.
Dark day for the Judiciary
Mosques are not an essential part of Islam-SC
Hijab is not an essential part of Islam- Karnataka High court.
Sacrificing cows is not part of the Eid- Kalkatta High Court.
Interpretation of Islam by the Indian Judiciary.
I hear Cockroach Janata Party accounts are being blocked. Small warning: cockroaches have outlived empires, pandemics and probably a few IT cells too. Block one, ten more emerge from the dark corners. MIND IT! 😃
ED used as an acquisition tool for Gautam Adani?
1. Ahmed A.R. Buhari, promoter of Coastal Energen, faces investigation and is jailed in an ED-linked money laundering case.
2. He spends around 32 months in prison while legal proceedings continue. Years pass, his reputation is damaged, and his business comes under stress.
3. Coastal Energen enters insolvency proceedings. Control of the company shifts through the corporate resolution process, with an Adani Power-led consortium later involved in acquiring assets.
4. Courts subsequently quash related proceedings after the underlying case collapses. Buhari walks out of jail.
5. Final outcome: a man loses years in prison, loses his company, and is later freed.
India is not a free and fair market. The Modi government is using every trick to help Adani through government machinery.
This is totally anti-national!
Why is @ANI pushing a false narrative by portraying this as just a routine clash between two groups? This wasn’t a 'scuffle.' These Gou Rakshak goons stopped a truck carrying plywood, falsely alleging it was transporting cattle. Even the police present at the spot failed to control them. It was only after the intervention of AIMIM MLA @Md_MajidHussain that a complaint was finally registered against the Gou Rakshak goons.
Hindu trader
"Why is the BJP not allowing us to sell our cows to Muslim,I've taken a loan of 5 lakh to rear &sell these animals for Bakrid,muslims never harm us
Why is BJP stopping us from selling & trading with Muslims,Give us poison then."
BJP will destroy Bengal for sure.
Delhi Police arrested 3 ppl claiming that they are related to ISIS & were planing to bomb a temple, a highway & military camp of Haryana.
A news of such scale didn’t feature whole day in any of the media. Guess why?
Coz the names of those arrested are Anmol, Rajveer and Vivek.
Bengal continues to burn even the day after Parivartan is sworn in. BJP goons set ablaze 60 shops belonging to both Hindus & Muslims in Khejuri. Where are the 700 companies of central forces now?
27 lakh voters have been deleted
Only 138 of them got a chance to get a tribunal hearing. And 136 / 138 were put back in the voting list.
That means most deleted voters are likely genuine voters but no one will hear their appeal in time for voting.
🚨 BIG STATEMENT 🚨
A former US Ambassador just said out loud at Harvard what every Indian should hear:
“America has literally spit in India’s face under Trump.”
30 years of bipartisan US diplomacy - wasted. Modi got none of it. He traded away ₹500 billion in US purchases, surrendered Russian oil, slashed Indian tariff autonomy; just to get tariffs CUT from 50% to 18%.
50% tariffs that NEVER EXISTED before Trump imposed them.
He was blackmailed. And he called it a deal.
Trump chose Pakistan over India. Trump took credit for ceasefire. Trump threatened 200% tariffs. And Modi? Silent on every single one.
This isn’t foreign policy. This is submission.
The man who sold “56-inch chest” surrendered India’s strategic autonomy to avoid a phone call going unanswered. 🇮🇳 💔
Soumya took a stand against the bullying of a Muslim couple, Namita made a reel on d benefits of namaz, Professor Sumathi wrote an apology to Nida Khan. All three women are Hindu, all three women are subjected to rape threats by a lynch mob for displaying humanity in public life
I left for bombay at 6.30 am like the hard working professional that I am & stopped the car at 7 am to make this reel as I’ve long realised that silence is not a virtue & one must speak up when they are disrespected. Yes if wrong things happen at any workplace that are against basic human rights, me & all of us should speak up. I don’t care about the personal trolling, I’m used to it last 5 years since shark tank but the purpose of this reel is to request all the proud Indians in this country to start speaking up when they see something wrong, out of humanity, out of patriotism. Jai hind. Now off to another joyful & complex day at work !
Absolutely shocking! The West Bengal electoral rolls have been frozen without giving 27 lakh deleted voters a hearing! And this is happening on the watch of the Supreme Court. Mother of democracy or Mockery of democracy!
