Muslim soldier of Indian Army, barred from using 'Jai Hind', warned of a court martial.

[third eye]

Both of the involved parties are either trying to make silly points or the truth has not come out.

Serving with Sikhs one uses ' Sat Sri Akal' as a regular salutation , that does not make me a Sikh , neither did make an officer Muslim when he kept the Rozas .Therefore the Maulvi will not become a Hindu if he uses unit salutations. Salutations in the fighting arms are unit specific.

If the Maulvi is serving in a unit, it must have adequate number of HMs to warrant his posting therefore using Islamic salutations or jai Hind is perfectly normal. So the CO either is stupid or there is more to it that has come to notice.

The Maulvi by his own admission has done one tenure in Delhi, been on a UN Mission and now wants to get posted back to Delhi - here lies the rub & the reason for his grouse. The fact that he has even gone to court against a lawful command implies that he may well be on the wrong side.

Wassup homies?

Jana ji pranam.

Jai Hind!

 

[RKO]

Times of India??? Thats a stupid channel. ... those guys are anti bjp/rss and anti hindu

If it is really true, thats really unfortunate

 

[kurup]

And why is a Maulvi required in the military ??

 

[Pakistani E]

Considering that kitman is allowed ,the maulvi might be using deception for a nefarious agenda .

Why is it that I always hear of non muslims talking about 'kitman' and 'taqiyya' but never an actual muslim. Are you saying you know more about my religion than I do?

Why not ?

Units have religious teachers based on the type of troops it has - Granthi, Pandit, Maulvi, Padre

Well some of from our neighbouring country is much concerned about IA but cant prove the secular nature of their own Army.

why your secular army wants to impose Ram Ram jay mata ki instead of "Jay Hind"?

We can see that kind of thing in only Muslims..Black cloud of devils..respect bose as a hero for the sake of country if you really care about motherland rather than community.That is jai hind not Hindu.This kind of religious extremists should be thrown out of India to Syria Iraq or Pak.

he said jay hind. so why he should be asked to replace jay hind with ram ram? seems your officials wants extremism not this Muslim soldier

 

[Abingdonboy]

This doesn't make sense- he got into trouble for wanting to say the mandatory salutation of the IA?

I could understand if it was the other way around but the way it appears to be seems very very odd indeed.

You are all missing the point.

It's not that "Jai hind" is offensive. Every battalion has a specific motto and war cry. Some units have "Jai hind". Some have "Jo bole sau nihal..." Some have "Durga mata ki jai" and so on. If anybody refuses to utter the war cry of his unit, that will invite disciplinary action. It is his refusal to utter the unit's official battle cry and instead using "Jai hind" that is deemed unpatriotic.

And they wonder why 35% Muslims don't make up even 2% of Indian armed forces.

Only 14% Muslims in India.

The entire army doesn't. Each regiment, and sometimes each battalion have their own motto and war cry. Punjab regiments and Sikh regiments use Sikh religious slogans, like "Jo bole sau nihal" or "Sri waheguru ki khalsa..." and so on.

BTW the army is voluntary. Nobody is required to join he armed forces, if they have religious issues with the practices of the army. Just like the Amish was exempt even from conscription in the USA.

RSS guy top comparing two different countries.

Pakistan might not want non-Muslims in the armed forces. Indian Muslims don't want to join Indian armed forces. That's the difference.

Why not ?

My question was why any of them was required in the first place ??

Jai Hind is a salutation used by non fighting units.

Fighting units have their own salutations based on traditions.
