History does not highlight any mass immigrations of Muslims into the sub – continent. Their blood is predominantly Indian. By and large they share the culture of the land. In the country side they mix up with the Hindus to the extent of undergoing head tonsure at Tirupati or having a holy dip in the Ganges. This has reference to the letter of Dr. J. A. Khan advising Muslims (IE Feb 13, 1993) not to let their learning be confined to teachings at madrasas, but to acquire knowledge from other institutions as well for progress.

Muslims in India should learn to respect Mother India. Hindu masses are still not fully affected by religious fanaticism.
Muslims should stop further strengthening the hands of Hindu fundamentalists.

Muslim intellectuals should save the community from religious leaders. And the masses should shed their obscurantism. Thus said Prophet Mohammad : “Acquire knowledge, it will enable you to distinguish between right and wrong”.
