These remarks were made in response to a post put up by Milligate , in protest against loud noise created fr a temple, when namaj was going on in the near Masjid. Bharatbhai R Pandya These are the BJP and RSS ( mis) culture. They do not know that peace is dear to God and not noise or khuna marki. Our shstras are full of murders, mass killings and stories of the upper strata of society so they do imbibe such culture. ------ When I was in Junagadh , I visited a Christian Church , one of our colleagues was a christian by heart, I noticed complete silence , pin drop silence, and one would feel that he has come into some another world ! In Masjid same would be the case, although I have never visited the masjid during their prayer time, of course, I have when some ones from the street expired and were to be buried in the Kabrastan, But at the same time the noise let out by the lod speakers for inviting the believers, Ajan, to the Masjid is too much unpalatable. All Muslims know the timings of the Namaj, what is the necessity of blaring loud speakers ? When I was living in Saiyedpura , a Masjid was just a furlong away, and a chacha from our street used to climb the minaret and m speak the Ajan. During those times loud speakers were not allowed for this. and there was total communal harmony . It is after the placement of loud speakers on the minarets , that jealosy has come up among the Hindus. It was noticed by me that in distant villages, even if there lived only one Muslim family, they would buyild a make -do Masjid and plant loud speakers ! These gestures have created malice. Why ? Because we Hindus hardly visit temple, those who do are a microscopic minority , so we do not like the Muslims visiting Masjids 5 times a day ! So you observe now, when the communal riots take place, the first aim of the Hindus is the loud speakers ! This was imitated by the Hindus during Navratri festival and where there was no loud speaker during the garbas, they started putting up loud speakers with full noise .So a ban was put on the loud speakers during the Navratri beyond 1000 PM. I bet, you remove the loud speakers from the Masjids and there will be restoration of good will..... In fact we, the Hindus are noise loving people, there would be drums, manjiras and beating of thali during the bhajan , this is entirely unnecessary, where there is a need to give good advices, guidance on honest and faithful living, we Hindus, create shor bakor and there are no sermons on noble living, like those done in the Churches and the Masjids, We go to to temple with blank mind and return with full pollution of noise and discriminations ! ----------- Some days back, while returning from garden in the morning , I elected to visit an old friend who use to sit in varanda of a temple. Arti was going on, and there was full noise, he was also clapping with both the hands, but did not choose to talk to me as he was busy in clapping in the Arti ! So, I returned without exchanging a single word with him ! We call these gestures religious !
