Dear Mubashir
             Thanks for the article. That was a good insight into the 
student organisation in news now a days. A few comments however.

1. I feel the greeting "Assalaam Alaikum" is very inappropriate. It only 
gives a Pan Islamic image to the organisation. An appropriate Urdu greeting 
would have been more apt exhibiting the Indo Islamic character. If the 
reasoning is to score a quick one against opponent Hindu fundamentalist 
organisation, then shall I put forward a counter question. Is Bajrang Dal a 
role model to be emulated? By stooping low to that level isn’t SIMI sending 
out the message that they are in no way different?

2. From my understanding a Madrasa is something similar to Sunday Schools 
conducted by churches. In other words Madrasas are part and parcel of 
Islamic religious establishment. How come a student organisation like SIMI 
is associated with the running of Madrasas?

3. SIMI president states that the main objective of the organisation are 
character building, fight against sexual anarchy, moral degradation etc. But 
isn’t these attributes directly linked to good parenting? Can any 
organisation circumvent the role of parenting and the need for an ideal and 
healthy environment at home? Isn’t it better for a student organisation to 
look into the welfare and problems faced by fellow students in campuses 
rather taking on the role of a moral arbitrator?

4. Can’t a budding journalist and a Unani doctor help uplifting the  Muslim 
community (as claimed by them) in their professional capacities rather than 
donning the rob of communal leaders?

5. Finally if RSS and BJP are conducting a witch hunt to nail SIMI (once 
again based on the leader’s claim), isn’t it a better strategy to come out 
clean by conducting a financial audit and declaring all source of funds? 
Wouldn’t it take the steam out of the whole issue?



The above comments are based on my observation of the article. You (or 
anyone on the list) are free to correct me if wrong. Being a Christian 
myself, I hope my observations are treated by everyone as impartial and 
unbiased (especially Hindu and Muslim list members). But however any debate 
should be conducted in a civilised manner. No mud slinging please.



Bye
