Muslims and Islamophobia
Love and Marriage as part of Islamic Jihad or a Hindutva conspiracy?
By Shakeel Shamshi
Translated from Urdu by Raihan Nezami

“Love in Jihad” a new concept, is being developed and promoted in India by the communal forces of Sangh Parivar in connivance with the communal sections of media. It seems to be linked to the international conspiracy against Muslims and Deen-e-Islam. This malicious terminology was introduced by the communal leaders of U.P. when a particular Muslim youth had married a Hindu girl in Saharanpur. They accused the Muslim youths - that they are provoking the Hindu girls for solemnizing inter-religion love-marriages with an intention to utilize them for Jihadi purposes.

Now, after some time, the same voice is being raised in Kerala, thousands of kilometres away from U.P. The Kerala police have formed a special task force for investigating the role and connection of Jihadis, if they are promoting inter-community love-marriages as a part of international conspiracy for conducting anti-national activities with the help of these newly converted girls.

Mr. Jackob Panose, the D.G.P of Kerala police, showing extreme meanness, has confirmed that such an investigation is being conducted to find out the reality behind the rising trend of love-marriages. This irresponsible statement by an officer of high rank will certainly hurt the feelings of the secular citizens of the country.

This controversy started when two Muslim students of M.B.A fell in love with two Hindu girls studying in the same college in Trivandrum. The evolution of such delicate emotional relationships over time among college students is no bolt from the blue, but in this case its consequences were atrocious. This affair led to the expulsion of the Muslim students on the ground of creating trouble in college premises. This intimate relationship continued even after leaving the college, ultimately the girls left their parents’ house to live with their lovers, which commonly happens in Indian society. As usual, the Hindutva parties raised a lot of hue and cry by accusing inter-religion love-marriages as a part of an international Jihadi conspiracy to use the Hindu girls for anti-national terrorist activities.
