Convenient acceptance..?

Loved this poem :   ..(.. shared by Arwa Mustaffa Turra..)


Mili Aazadi Jise Woh Shakhs Bhi Musalman Hi Tha,


Diya Hind ko Taj Mahal jisne

Woh Shakhs Musalman hi Tha,

.....

Aaj kehte Hain Ye Log k Dehshat Gard Hai Musalman,

Shuru ki Jisne Jang Aazadi ki

Woh Tipu Sultan Musalman hi Tha,


Jahaan Lehrate Hain Tiranga Aaj Bhi Badi Shaan Se,

Kiya Tameer Jisne Laal Qila

Woh Shakhs Musalman Hi Tha

Saare jahaan se achcha HINDUSTAN hmara likha jisne:

TARAN E- HIND woh mohammad IQBAL musalman hi tha ..

It's sad that even being citizens of the country muslims have to constantly prove their allegiance.. This poem comes across as a plea for acceptance or more as a reminder that we conveniently accept what we like.. the monuments and the literature but we don't want to accept the people belonging to that religion..

What we forget is that the food, monuments, literature, art, that we love and marvel at.. are all creations of the same people..
