1. Indian muslims freely, openly practiced Islam under Secular governments for 70 years.
2. We miss that now.
3. In those 70 years, Indian muslims demanded that Religious freedom is not enough, Indian muslim community also must economically progress and develop.
4. Then many small and regional political parties were established, they presented dreams to Muslims. Earlier Muslims were voting en mass to National secular parties, that changed... remember... the slogan from small parties was "we will develop Muslim community". That dent us.
5. In that period, non-secular parties were strengthening their foundations to launch, hate Islam, hate Muslims was their core agenda.
6. Muslims were also busy criticizing corruption, misrule, misgovern etc. (Today we are busy with Covid research and other conspiracy theories ) Later we realised it was not our duty, majority can do it without our involvement.
7. There were few muslims who used the freedom under secular government and were busy in establishing Hudoodullah through Qitaal. (Today they have gone underground).
If "Freedom to practice Islam is more than enough" would have been our slogan under secular governments....... Things would have been different for we muslims.
But we bow before decisions of Allah.
We share this with our friends in UK, US, Europe etc.
(1) The situation in India should serve as a reminder for muslims in the western world to appreciate the freedoms and opportunities they have to practice their religion freely.
(2) It is important for muslims to use these freedoms to focus on economic progress and development, and not get sidetracked by divisive political agendas.
(3) Remember that our ultimate duty is to serve Allah and be good citizens.
(4) Use your freedoms wisely and work together to build a better future for yourselves.

Partially correct. We have Religious freedom. Let us appreciate that. For our economic growth, let us not depend on political parties.

We must thank authorities for religious freedom offered by them, in return let us behave like a better citizen than others.
I quote a karguzari from a TJ brother.
One brother TJ brother was well behaved, extra ordinary efficient in his job. Reason... He wanted leave for his 3 days and chhilla. The result in dunya was.... he was appreciated by his bosses, he had smooth ladder for his progress. He was elevated as boss for entire staff in his office.
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
