It now seems that the definitions set earlier demanded the Nation to make a place for themselves in the country they lived in, from where they could experiment and spread their newly found ideals and hence develop their thoughts and line of action further.<br />Although general elections had yet not come still the masses who had attended the sessions of Educational conference were aware of the value of their thoughts in the Life of their Nation. Perhaps that was the reason they showed their concerns for the question of separate electorates.<br />And to achieve this goal they were ready to put in every effort they could (from supporting Non-cooperative movement to boycott the elections of 1922)<br /><br />And I think Sir Syed's advice of not entering poilitics was for a nation which still had to 'seek consensus'. Without achieving this consensus there was every possibility of politics leading the Nation astray from achieving purposeful Unity. The Nation was now ready to take its political decisions in its own hands.Namrah Mahmoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00554326371992935232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032893644467568205.post-14829057289936688262010-10-04T06:33:26.539+01:002010-10-04T06:33:26.539+01:00This line "Think long-term..." with Dar ...This line "Think long-term..." with Dar Sahib's wonderfully alive and breathing metaphor hits home in universal ways as well. I'm happy to see the metaphor about the Monarch butterfly as this has been a special natural happening between our little mountains nearby and a Mexican sanctuary. You may want to see this short video:<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2Qx93RChhQ which should be a reminder to North Americans of the Creator's guidance when we get in touch with that.<br /><br />Congrats on the ongoing positive articles and sharing these with us all. Nothing could be more important at such a time.CNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877484524704475807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032893644467568205.post-50424837909543226242010-10-02T20:26:01.427+01:002010-10-02T20:26:01.427+01:00”Think long-term, because you are part of a bigger...”Think long-term, because you are part of a bigger picture, which is alive and breathing. This much was understood instinctively by a Muslim – especially the unschooled one, whose consciousness was less tainted by foreign education. ”<br /><br />It is not surprising how this is understood instinctively, it is just like the great migratory flights of Monarch butterflies that undertake a mammoth journey of thousands of miles and each one of them migrate southward in the autumn guided by the sun's orbit as they travel through North America. If they can be instinctively guided by sun, one can well imagine the conscious and subconscious power of Muslims to connect with their source of inspiration.Akhtar Wasim Darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09635876866214567866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1032893644467568205.post-35278923322844448392010-10-01T19:55:36.974+01:002010-10-01T19:55:36.974+01:00"Think long-term, because you are part of a b..."Think long-term, because you are part of a bigger picture, which is alive and breathing"<br />hmm... so we are contributing to this big picture...<br /><br />How did they discovered their ideal one by one?Muhammad Rizwan Jabbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09148411855550576465noreply@blogger.com
