I've been very deeply mulling over the problem. The only diagnosis that I am masterful to arrive at is that the required number of its competent members have not doting themselves selflessly for taking care of the ailing community. Most of us whom our God has placed at a much higher pedestal than the teeming millions of our community-mates do not apply to the community the extent of share it deserves in our individual existence. Many of us are satisfied by being community-sympathetic within our thought process, during spasmodical leisurely discussion with family and close friends or by article on community networks. Some of us find solace in occasionally organizing some get-togethers making a component of the community internally happy for a while. Very few of us have utilized individual at all times and resources to physically help the needy in different admissible ways much less establish new institutions and facilities for upgrading / facilitating some sections of the community in the fields of instruction, health, awareness and the like. In fact, on many scores, a similarity with the fellow minorities like Christians and Sikhs is discomfiting. Still much fewer of us come forward to give to the downtrodden community the pertinacity of our proven calibre and our powerful voice, consciously choosing not to barter our faculty to do so for some favor from the Government or even merely its good books. So, the total concern and effort of us, Indian Muslims - in greatness and intensity - is hardly one percent of what is required to make a material difference.
