Dr. Khwaja Iftikhar Ahmed’s work, Indian National Congress and Indian Muslims has not been at anybody’s behest but as part of his own vision and conscience. This, a historic document, is a tribute to all those devoted Indian Muslims whose atriotic zeal towards the nation was undying. Maulana Azad, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Hakeem Ajmal Khan, Maulana Hasrat Mohani besides umpteen others had been the exemplary figures of nationalist Muslims. The book discusses the sacrifices and services of Muslims in general.
Dr. Khwaja himself has been a man of letters and someone who works with a patriotic zeal for the uplift of the nation’s hapless. Besides through his Inter Faith Harmony Foundation of India, he has brought the leaders of world’s religions together for a harmonious bonding. For the last so many years this has been the sole platform that has borne an impeccable influence on the followers of the Baha’I Faith, Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Sikhism and Zoroastrianism. That way, India too is making her presence felt through the peace loving Muslims, who, otherwise, have been under suspicion owing to media machinations.
In this book, Dr. Khwaja has appealed all the Indians to be vigilant against divisive and communalist forces. Though he hasn’t jumped into the bandwagon of active politics, yet his well wishers are of the view that noble men like him must be part of active politics since they are badly required there. However, he says that active politics is not his cup of tea but serving commoners has been his endeavour. This book will go a long way paying way to mutual understanding of the different communities.
