Thought provoking episode, CJ. Excellent work. As an Indian, I genuinely feel the Muslim world is rich in competent, and sincere human resource. The brotherhood of this cohort despite the diversity is unparalleled. However, due to their poor political representation and corrupt leadership, this quarter of the human population is directionless. You made an excellent point regarding having a singular and righteous voice. There is such a great opportunity for this. Of all the existing Muslim leaders, I feel perhaps Imran Khan is the most viable leader to lead Muslims. No other leader has represented Muslims the way Imran Khan did at the UN few years ago. However, it's the general Muslims who need to work together in whatever capacity they can to realise the goals the community has. Most often than not, I see the goals of Muslims do not go beyond: free food/ clothing, handing money, building mosques, wells, orphanages, schools etc. It's time to look beyond the lowest level and think about participation in the "system". My community (Indian Hindus) actively takes part in the governments across the world, and its paying BIG time. We've an incredibly huge but 'covert' network of support right from Councils to Parliamentary level in almost all democracies. This participation has meant Indian Hindus are not only in control of the Indian govt but also many other countries like:
US
UK
Mauritius
Fiji
Ireland
Guyana
Portugal
Singapore
Malaysia
Seychelles
South Africa
Suriname
Tanzania
Trinidad & Tobago
Our boy - Rishi Sunak is trying hard to get India a permanent seat at the UN security council (Veto power). I asked many Muslims in the recent past regarding this and none of them have any idea what Rishi is doing for us. Talk about ignorance. Long way to go, but if RSS can do it with people who defecate in the open and make PMs out of them, then there is a lot of potential in the Muslim community. As long as each one of them takes it upon themselves rather than expecting the change maker to be someone else or worse enough their leaders.
