India: A Potential Spiritual Superpower

English book, p. 71

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

INDIA: A POTENTIAL SPIRITUAL SUPERPOWER Religions: “We believe not only in universal toleration, but we accept all religions as true.” According to the Indian Constitution, which came into effect in January 1950, all citizens of India have equal citizenship rights, and there is no discrimination based on religion. There are thousands of mosques, madrasas, and various Islamic organizations in India today, and they are flourishing and working smoothly. Muslims have a presence in every field of Indian society. For example, the President of India holds the highest office in the country. In the history of independent India, four Muslims have, to this date, held the office of President. They were Dr Zakir Hussain (19671969), Mohammad Hidayatullah (July-August 1969), Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed (1974-1977) and Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (2002-2007). If there are some issues that Muslims in India face, they are due to the Laws of Nature. Differences are a part of the Laws of Nature. Thus, it is natural that there will be some issues in every society that are different. According to the Laws of Nature, having a totally problem-free country is impossible. No country is an exception in this regard. I have established my mission in India under ‘The Centre for Peace and Spirituality International.’ It has spread throughout India as well as abroad. We have never received the slightest problem from the Indian administration. The spiritual greatness found in India is what makes India potentially a spiritual superpower. However, to make this a reality, we need to usher in a spiritual revolution in this, the second decade of the 21st century.
