A New yet Old perspective about Mosques
[Music]
breaking the tab was
uh it is something which is not normal
to talk and everyone
all of us who were living a normal
social life
we have to think too much while breaking
the taboos um
today my topic is a bit tricky it’s
critical and that is that how we have to
redefine the role of the mosque in our
society
so this is more of a social and
religious topic and every one of us
is very much motivated towards this
religion or sect or whoever we believe
in
so definitely in this particular
position and where we are so if we have
to think
uh that how to redefine the role of the
mosque
a majority of us who are going to the
mosque since
our childhood we might not have thought
that uh should we redefine the role of
this mosque can we do this
um are we really in a position to do
this
um and uh have we outsourced
um the role uh or having outsourced this
particular topic
in the particular class
how it can take back the role of such an
institution
i believe mosque is an institution so
hamare society may
since we got independence back in 1947
to have a top-down approach top-down
approach
majority of us
do they really believe that how to bring
inclusiveness
or have they taken us to sectarianism
attitude society definitely
answered
and the french government is thinking
that we should have this patronizing
foreign
[Laughter]
it doesn’t
have a huge feature in front of you so
all what you need to do is that you need
to think
that if there is a good mosque it is
it believes in inclusiveness it believes
in pluralism
it believes in this idea that everybody
needs to go together
sometimes people are like those who are
leading
[Music]
so that we all agree on this we need to
think on this
foreign
so that people should understand that we
have this issue
this is a critical issue the society is
facing so what is the remedy for this
i think what we need to understand the
remedy for this entire project is
that in this in our society we have
fifty percent almost male and fifty
a percent female child female common
percent
so would you a common person female have
they have
no role to play in the mosque
uh
it’s very difficult to get an answer why
because as a society we have lost
foreign
[Laughter]
the society believes we need to get back
the space for this
you need to be very slow it’s a gradual
process
it it is it can take decades but for
this you have to have an approach
why don’t we have progressive ideas
about
how can we rethink or how can we redraw
the role of the mosque in our society
and many of his fellows who have made it
sure tonight
that this is a perfect night for
everyone
what we have learned is the society is
polarized
it is divided on different sectarians
[Music]
this is not something one fine morning
you get up
so
so many interesting and fascinating
stories tonight and i believe
that uh this particular idea came how to
redefine the role of the mosque it will
be interesting for you people and in the
future
all of you you will think at least if
you can’t do anything
we should take this idea to other people
so that voila
and then we just it gets multiplied over
the period of time so but i feel like
this is a long debate
long discussion but sometime a place
and even is is is an even
idea so the organizers have triggered
this idea
and i believe it will be very helpful
for our society
