الهند: إنشاء وحدات سكنية تلبي المتطلبات الدينية الإسلامية

خبر من مصادر إنجليزية.

نشَرت بعض المصادر الإعلامية الهندية تقريرًا أشار إلى اهتمام بعض شركات المقاولات ببناء وحدات سكنية تتناسب مع المتطلبات الدينية للمسلمين، بحيث تحتوي على مسجد ومدرسة دينية، وعلامات تشير إلى اتجاه القِبلة، وقد اعتبرتها تجربة فريدة تشهدها منطقة "نوديا" الكبرى بولاية "أوتر براديش".

وقد نقلت المصادر الاعتراضات المثارة على استهداف مجموعة معينة، وهو ما يتعارض مع روح الدستور الهندي، وما يكفله من تعدُّدية وتنوُّع وحيادية؛ مما يثير المخاوف من أن إنشاء نحو هذه الوحدات ورعاية مجتمع طائفي معين، قد يثير العنف والاضطرابات، وقد تناست الاعتراضات الممارسات الهندوسية التمييزية الشعبية والحكومية ضد المسلمين؛ المصدر: شبكة الألوكة.

Builders targeting a particular income group and attracting them is a common phenomenon, but in a first of its kind, a developer has zeroed in at a particular community and is building apartments as per their requirements. A report published in TOI says a builder is constructing 'Muslim-only' apartments in Greater Noida. The builder, Adarsh Group, is promoting the apartments - Gulistaan Golf View Heights - as "dream homes for elite Muslim brotherhood". The report goes on saying, it will have a mosque, a madrassa, and will face Qibla - the direction a Muslim faces when offering prayers. Construction is likely to begin by the end of this month. Well, it is unique experiment, since for the first time a developer has narrowed its focus down to a particular community and will cater to the needs specific to the community. But, one wonders whether such townships at all fit constitutional ethos of India. Against India's constitutional ethos India is a land of unity in diversity where people of all sections of the society live together in peace and harmony. Visit any neighbourhood and you can hear ringing of temple bells and prayers from a mosque at the same time. Confining a particular community to a particular area would make them more vulnerable in case of violence. Hence, people living in a particular area would become a soft target to social miscreants or vested interest groups. As per the TOI report, renowned political scientist Imtiaz Ahmed said the idea of India is rooted in inclusion and integration of all communities. "But such an apartment complex, dedicated exclusively to a particular community, makes them more vulnerable in case of violence and disturbance. Besides, it goes against the constitutional ethos of the country," he added.
