Is Congress a Muslim Party?

Participating in the India Today conclave, UPA Chairperson, Sonia Gandhi, stated that ‘BJP managed to convince people we are a Muslim party’ ( headline in Indian Express,10/3/18). Let us look at the political stance of the Congress Party since Independence. Here are some facts :


  1. Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru said majority communalism is worse than minority communalism in the ‘fifties. He could have said communalism all variety is not good for national unity. His comments encouraged Muslim separatism when the need of the hour was national unity. The last Prime Minister of the Congress, Dr,Manmohan Singh told us that ‘minorities have the first right to the national resources’. He did not say that the poor of the country have the first right to the national resources.
  2. PM Nehru wished to introduce Hindu Code Bill, not Uniform Code Bill. Since many Congress leaders opposed the bill including the President Rajendra Prasad, it was shelved.However, many changes were made in the Hindu laws of inheritance, succession and adoption.If we are one nation, why have so many personal laws ? Just as criminal laws are the same for all, why not for personal laws ? Uniform Personal Law is a part of the Directive Principles of the Indian Constitution. Congress never thought of building a consensus on this. It reversed the Supreme Court decision to pay maintenance to a divorced old woman in the Shah Bano case. Last year the Supreme Court declared ‘triple talaq’ illegal, and asked the Parliament to enact a proper Act within six months. When the present government brought a legislation to give effect to it, the Congress took objection to the punishment and the maintenance without which the legislation would be toothless. Congress wanted the government to take care of the divorced woman. Gender equality be damned !
  3. The Maharaja of Jammu & Kashmir acceded to India, like other kings of that time in India, but delayed it till the state was attacked by the tribals of the North-Western Province supported by the Pakistani Military.When the Indian army was about to drive all invaders from the J&K state, PM Nehru stopped the Indian Army midway, and took it the United Nations Security Council, a playground of the Big Powers, and promised to have a plebiscite or a referendum though the ascension was supported by the National Conference led by Sheikh Abdullah and the Praja Parishad led by Prem Nath Dogra, two major political parties of the state. A ‘temporary’ Article 370 was inserted in the Constitution to give special status to Jammu & Kashmir.All this was done for the simple reason J&K has a Muslim majority. Of course, Congress claims that it does not agree with the two-nation theory. It has been well-said that the PM Nehru and Dy.PM Sardar Patel is that between J&K state and Hyderabad State. While J&K is still bleeding India (issue was handled by Nehru) Hyderabad (Sardar Patel took care of its integration) is peaceful and thriving.
  4. Many states control finances of Hindu Temples - Kerala, Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka. Why a secular state controls temples of Hindus ? There are allegations that money of these temples are being misused by the ruling politicians and even used for the maintenance of Churches and Mosques. The West Bengal pays salary to Imams but not to priests in the temples.Haj subsidy is well-known to all in this country.

  5. The Indian Constitution guarantees and protects minority rights through Art.25 ( freedom of religion), Art.26 ( freedom to manage religious affairs), Art.29 ( cultural & educational rights), Art.30 ( rights of minorities to establish and administer educational institutions. This special dispensation has created a divide in India. These minority institutions are exempt from the legislation on right to education and reservation for SC & ST, and OBCs. So much so every sect and denomination wants to be declared to be a minority - there is a competition.

That Congress has failed to uplift Muslims has been explained in detail by the famous Sachar Committee Report. Congress has only protected the most obscurantist and fundamentalist sections of the Muslim Society which do want even the reforms that other Muslim countries have done in their society and the state.


Hindu temples are being managed by the so called ‘secular’ state manned by anti-Hindu and atheist politicians. Hindu educational institutions are controlled by the ‘secular’ government. Hindus have no rights in India, and they have only responsibilities. Who is responsible for this oppression of Hindus ? Congress, Communists and the Left who ruled India for the last seven decades. They have diminished India.They have diminished Hindus and Hindu traditions, Indian culture and  civilization.


A civilization which declared ‘ Truth is One but wise call it in different names’, ‘ Just as all rivers join the Ocean, all prayers reach God’, ‘World is a family’ has been condemned as ‘communal’ by brown sahibs who have internalised norms of ‘Orientalism’ as explained by Edward W.Said in his book,“Orientalism”.That is why Indian students do not know the contributions made by Indian Civilization to the World Civilization.
