Seminar to Highlight Muslims’ Role in India’s Independence
A seminar on the ‘Role of Muslims in Indian Independence Struggle’ will also be held as part of the Independence Day observation by the organization on the same day.
It will be inaugurated by KPCC president V M Sudheeran, Indian Express reported.
“Muslims played an important role in India’s freedom struggle joining hands with those from other religions. However, as time progressed, their role has been forgotten for one reason or the other,” said Khatheeb’s and Qazi Forum president at the Press Club on Tuesday.
The program will be an attempt to defend the bid of a few factions to destroy the society by injecting hatred into the public. It is also a platform to remember and honors those freedom fighters, who irrespective of their faith gave their all to gain freedom for the country,” the organisers said.
Muslims account for 180 million of India's 1.1 billion people, the world's third-largest Muslim population after those of Indonesia and Pakistan.
