The young Kashmiri girl Zaira Wasim who acted as Geeta Phogat in the film Dangal has been criticised as being an Indian agent and an un Islamic. Mullahs and maulavis also shouted at the top of their voice on TV talk shows disapproving of the role played by her. One of them also said that they do not want their girls to play on screen or in real life because they are not meant ‘to do so’. Their role is only limited to the kitchen and to look after their families. This backward thinking is the subject of much criticism in the media worldwide. Al Jazeera TV has many Muslim women reporting from all corners of the world. But no mullah criticises them for being non Muslim in their actions. This is the height of hypocrisy on the part of Indian mullahs and maulvis who want to keep Muslim women as their slaves. A mullah threatened a Muslim woman during Fateh ka Fatwa talk show on Zee News that he would hit Muslim ladies if they support use of small clothes by Muslim girls playing international tennis matches. Such fundamental elements are bane on the society and push their own community backward. It is high time to check such people. Why are such people invited to the studios? They should be shunned. This is the only non violent way of dealing with them.

Bypassing Orders
Bahujan Samaj Party chief Mayawati’s appeal to the Muslims voters that, if the BJP wins the Assembly polls, it will immediately end reservation, is a brazen infringement of electoral rules, as seeking votes on caste/community lines is a violation of the apex court verdict. Moreover, the BSP is a political outfit, established on caste related grounds. Albeit, a political organisation, approved by the Election Commission, considering the Supreme Court’s latest developments, its existence should be questioned. Meanwhile, the quota system is a
persisting enigma for the past seven decades and therefore, an amicable but pragmatic solution is the demand of the time.

Protectionist Approach
As feared, soon after assuming office, US President Donald Trump has started acting against the initiatives taken by his predecessor, Barrack Obama. Hours after assuming office, Trumph’s target was to undo all old schemes and
initiatives taken by Obama. It would not be an exaggeration to say that India needs to be worried about Trumph’s ‘Buy American and Hire American’ policy. His protectionist approach would hit world hard.

Ensure Complete Exchange of Population
(Re-contextualising the Khalsa Tradition, December 25); This refers to the editorial of Organiser titled ‘Re- contextualising the Khalsa Tradition’, praising Khalsa and Guru Gobind Singh. It has been aptly stated, that “in Guru’s message mukti (salvation) from political and social oppression gets precedence over mukti from the cycle of birth and death.”It was with this spirit, that Master Tara Singh and Akali Dal did not tolerate cruelties and mass slaughter of Hindus and the Sikhs during 1947, by the Muslims and forced Nehru for complete exchange of population, between East Punjab (now Punjab, Haryana and Himachal) and West Punjab, and got a treaty signed at Lahore on September 5th 1947 between the governments of truncated India and Pakistan. It is worth mentioning that no other Hindu leader or Hindu social/ religious organisation favoured for complete exchange of population on all India basis or between East and West Bengal. Certainly if there were 10 to 15 per cent Sikhs spread throughout India, they would have ensured exchange of population on all India basis. I believe, our present Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has that spirit of Guru Gobind Singh and the Khalasa to do something to ensure complete exchange of population between truncated Bharat, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
