Indian Muslims are today faced with two very serious problems. One is related to their existence and the other to their role as dayee. Existential problems were earlier also, however, with the forces of Hindutva in power their seriousness has increased manifold because these forces which have been publicly declaring their hatred for Muslims for last so many decades, are now using their political power to achieve their cherished goal. In Gujarat and last year in Delhi, they demonstrated as to the extant they can go to achieve their objective, and now they are using democratic tools in undemocratic ways to make Muslims live as second-class citizens. Existential threat being an immediate one, we are tempted to be withdrawn, and naturally so, to take immediate measures. But however intense the physical threat may be, we can in no way do away with the problems we are facing today in presenting Islam relevant to 21st century. We firmly believe that both these problems have urgency and need to be simultaneously taken up. Not only this we are also of the opinion that both are so interrelated and inter-dependent that healthy action taken for addressing one, will facilitate our attempts for other, and will be mutually beneficial.
