Indians accused the Britishers as racist during there 200 years of rule.But what is the most common remark that is in our lips when we see somebody from say Nigeria,West-Indies; only because we have a slightly fairer complexion than them.Aren't we racist, even today we call a phirang as gora.
Now Arab Muslims do not prefer to marry Indian Muslims.Now what can be the reason do they consider themselves too noble.These half scholars who don't even require translations to study the glorious Quran have they forgotten this verse of Quran:"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other.Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted. ~Al- Quran, 49:13
Just look at the beauty of this Hadeeth:“All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a white- except by piety and good action”.~ Bukhari Chapter 3, Book 7
Birth as a basis of superiority is totally irrelevant and is even rejected by Islam but with the passage of time as Islam travelled distant landssome stratifications got introduced into the Muslim society. In India, we can broadly classify Muslims linguistically as the Urdu speaking and the non-Urdu speaking(Bengali,South Indians).No doubt the Urdu speaking consider themselves superior than their non-Urdu speaking counterparts this even led to a war(read Bangladesh's Independence).Still we have amongst us a number of people who boast of their caste:say Shaikh,Sayyads,Khans and think of themselves as a high caste but remember these titles are nothing more than an indicator of your ancestorsShaikh,Sayyads(having a Arab origin),Khan(Turkish or Afghan origin). So the next time if anyone asks u abt your caste. Give one simple answer -"MUSLIM".
