Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

Congratulations, Sunni Central Waqf Board ( SCWB )




What for ?

For following announcement :


Extract :

Ø  The board, one of the main litigants in the case, also announced the formation of a trust to look after the construction of the mosque as well as,

       #  an Indo-Islamic centre,
       #  a   Grand hospital and
       #  a   Public library
          -- all of which will come up on the land

Ø  Farooqui said the trust would also construct a centre that will highlight the rich Indo-Islamic culture.

Ø  Farooqui said the construction of the centre, a hospital and a library, were all suggested by board members.

What is the significance of Centre , Hospital and Public Library ?

This decision will go a long way to create harmony among all the different religious communities of India, as repeatedly suggested by me in my following emails to the Cabinet Ministers / Parties to Ayodhya dispute / Religious leaders / Political leaders etc :


Reach Out  Time                                      [ 20  Sept  2013  ]

Yogiji ! Make it a “ WIN “ for all                 [  03  April  2017  ]

Yogiji  !  This is Your moment                    [  11  Aug  2017  ]

Let Ram’s Ayodhya be Secular                   [  31  Jan  2019  ]



We have precedents !                                [ 12 Nov 2019  ]



And , the following , a few days back :


A ( not so ) Hidden Message ?                    [ 06 Feb 2020 ]



Extract of that message :

     At the disputed Ayodhya site , creation of a “ World Peace Complex “ comprising of :

      Ram Temple    ( for Hindus )

      Mosque           ( for Muslims )

      Church            ( for Christians )

      Temple            ( for Buddhists )

      Synagogue       ( for Jews  )

      Akshar-Dham    ( for Jains )

     
Gurudwara       ( for  Shikhs )

     University for Comparative Studies of World Religions

     Hospitals ( like Netralaya / Hridayalaya )

     India Heritage / History Museum

     Business Convention-cum-Industry Exhibition Centre

     Tourist Complex

     And right in the center of the complex , a giant statue of the “ Father of the Nation 

      [ Source :    Reach - Out Time ?    /   20 Sept 2013 ]

-------------------------------------

Who should get the credit for deciding to implement ( though partially ) this suggestion ?

Ø  Shri Zufar Ahmed Farooqui – Chairman, SCWB
Ø  Shri Abrar Ahmad – Member
Ø  Shri Mohammad Junaid Siddiqui – Member
Ø  Shri Adnan Farrukh Shah – Member
Ø  Shri Mohammad Juneed – Member
Ø  Shri Maulana Syed Ahmed Ali ( alias Khushnood Miyan ) – Member



Any importance of the timing of this announcement by SCWB ?

In his speech at Motera Stadium ( Ahmedabad ), US President Donald Trump talked very highly of :

Ø  Rich Indian Culture

Ø  Despite religious diversity, a very strong sense of Unity and Harmony among Indians

Ø  India showing a path to World Harmony – free of extremism / militancy

Even as POTUS was addressing the Nation , SCWB chose to send this message to him – and through him, to the rest of the World, that people of India cannot be divided by anti-social elements spreading, distorted / misunderstood, religious beliefs



What Next ?

I urge following members of Sri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra , to take 2 steps forward ( against that one step by SCWB )
Ø  K Parasaran                                     k.parasaran@sansad.nic.in

Ø  Yugpurush Parmanand, Haridwar      akhandparamdham@gmail.com

Ø  Swami Govinddev Giri, Pune            dharmashree123@gmail.com

Ø  Vimlendra Mohan Pratap Mishra       info@vaniprakashan.in

Ø  Kameshwar Chaupal (SC), Patna      kameshwarchaupal86@gmail.com


That will enable President Donald Trump to tell the World :


 The road to World Peace starts from Ayodhya

Notes :
Ø  Foreign nationals who are currently residing in India and desirous of getting Indian Citizenship , will for getting “ Assessed / Scored “ as shown above
Ø  Such “ Foreigners “would need to apply , in a prescribed form to the designated officer in the   Home Ministry . Application will need to be supported by relevant documents
Ø  Their applications will be taken up for processing, on a “first come first served “basis
Ø  Home Ministry will appoint state-wise, third party Agencies to interview the applicants and fill up the above-mentioned, “ CITIZENSHIP ELIGIBILITY SCORE CARD
Ø  The total score will range from a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 50
Ø  The results of the SCORE will be published on the web site of the Home Ministry
Ø  The SCORE CARD itself will be a part of revised Citizenship Amendment Act ( to be presented to Lok Sabha by 01 April 2020
Ø  This revised amended CAA, will lay down the MINIMUM SCORE ( points ) needed for grant of Indian Citizenship to an applicant ( my suggestion > 30 + points )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is only a CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK , primarily aimed at :

Ø  Clarifying the CRITERIA to be applied for determining the eligibility of a Foreigner

Ø  Making the process TRANSPARENT / UN-BIASED / SYSTEMETIC

Ø  Obtaining PRIOR CONSENSUS of all the political parties

Ø  Remove any MISTRUST from the minds of existing Muslim citizens of India



Dear Shri Amitbhai Shah,

With this, you can tell Donald Trump :

“ When it comes to giving EQUAL TREATMENT to both the majority and the minority , we are as democratic as your own country “
