Lessons Of Varanasi Pitting Economy Against Hindutva اس مضمون کا ایک حصہ صفحہ کے نیچے درج کیا جا رہا ہے ۔ اس کا خلاصہ یہ ہے کہ ہندوؤں نے اب جان لیا ہے کہ اجودھیا کے نام پر اٹھائی جانے والی تحریک ایک تخریبی تحریک تھی۔ اس کا ایک مظاہرہ بنارس میں سامنے آیا ہے ۔ بنارس میں تقریبا پانچ لاکھ تاجروں کی طاقت ور کمیونٹی ہے ۔ ان کی تنظیم کا نام کاشی بیو پارمنڈل ہے۔ اس تنظیم کے ہندو تاجروں نے اس سے پہلے بی جے پی کو کافی تعاون دیا تھا۔

لیکن ۶ دسمبر ۱۹۹۲ کے بعد جب انہیں معلوم ہوا کہ بابری مسجد کے فاتح بنارس کی گیان واپی مسجد کا رخ کرنے والے ہیں تو کاشی بیو پار منڈل فوراً اس کے خلاف حرکت میں آگیا ۔ اس نے بنارس کے پانچ لاکھ تاجروں کے نام پر ور ز اپیل جاری کی جس میں کہا گیا تھا کہ بنارس کے تمام تاجر مندر اور مسجد کی As the communal violence unleashed by the Ayodhya tragedy hit the headlines, the numerous instances from all over the country of people from both the communities joining hands to resist the destructive onslaught of communalism were relegated to the background. One such spontaneous mass action preaching peace and sanity in the historic city of Varanasi is particularly noteworthy. Sensing that the "conquerors" of Babri Masjid have a similar design for the Gyanvapi mosque at Varanasi, the city's traders' association, the Kashi Vyapar Mandal, issued a strong appeal to the five-lakh strong trader community comprising both Hindus and Muslims to stay away from the politics of Mandirs and Masjids and followed it up by organizing peace marches. Ironically, the Hindu members of the Vyapar Mandal have supported the BJP. in the past and even mobilised donations for the kar sevaks who ran amok at Ayodhya. The issue is not whether these erstwhile supporters of the BJP have suddenly turned secular but that they have found it necessary to maintain peaceful co-existence. If Varanasi goes the Ayodhya way, the traders would be the worst hit as lawlessness and killings would drive away thousands of tourists who flock to this temple city and also kill a flourishing business in carpets and sarees which caters to both the home and export markets. Since both Muslims and Hindus are equally dependent on this commerce, it is plain that economic interests have prevailed over political or communal prejudices. This should send a clear signal that a powerful economic agenda has to be a major plank in the fight against communalism. Over the last two decades India has lost the race of development and its status in the world. A large number of countries which were poorer than us have passed us by and it is not India but China which is emerging as the new economic giant. It is time to spread the message of Varanasi that communalism can only disrupt and destroy and prevent us from seizing the last chance we have of recharging our economic system and retrieving our national pride. It is time to spread the message of Kautilya that "of the three ends of human life, material gain is, verily, the most important." On material gain depends the realization of dharma and pleasure.
