"I am an Indian Citizen. No Matter My Faith, Caste, Region or the Food I Eat"
In #CentralHall, senior advocate Kapil Sibal explores the question of one identity at the heart of the conversation these days, that of Muslims. With academic and Vice-Chancellor of Chanakya National Law University, Faizan Mustafa, journalist-anchor and senior editor, The Wire, Arfa Khanum Sherwani and ex-bureaucrat and VC of Jamia Millia, Najeeb Jung. What is the identity of Muslims as per the Constitution? What does it mean to be Muslim in India in 2024?

I think my face is my greatest power but my face has become my greatest vulnerability just because of your identity. This is very logical statement which is highly considerable.
Thank you Kapil sibal. It's high time these things required to be discussed on public. The people of India need to re think what is happening with minorities. Protection of minorities and their rights need to be felt and implemented as law. Writing in constitution is like having a dog which can't bite

This must be one of the rare times when an 'open' debate on such a sensitive yet important issue was held. We need more such sane discussions (as opposed to uncivil shouting matches) to let people know the truth of the situation (again without being partisan) and then allow solutions to rise from such interactions. It is no doubt a very complex issue but we wont solve it by brushing it under the carpet; in fact we will allow zealots to use the divide to spread more hatred.

I am very happy to see the change of tone and tenor of previous Delhi LG during this discussion, it seems like his swan song is over now and has come out of dark whole of polity.
Absolutely right
Very introspective discussion, thanks Kapil ji for this . We as a nation are definitely going through crisis of nationalism and what we as Indian stand for . The diversity fabric has been torn apart completely. Muslims have already been marginalized. The so called secular Hindu leaders too are shying away from raising issues of minorities specially Muslims and using them only as vote bank . Muslims are an integral part of India and Arfa Khannum ji mentioned if one part of the body is impaired or weakened how can the entire body be strong or developed. Yes we need Muslim intellectual leaders and they are in making its a matter of time we will for sure see a change in the demographic fabric in the coming years as this awareness and discussion is now happening in almost majority of Muslim families groups and gatherings . The communal forces are working against us but it will have a very short shelve life is my opinion and belief 🙏
Thought provoking discussion among all you four. Special plea to Faizan Mustafa saheb to organise more such discussion.
Correct explanation by Kapil Shibal Sir.
Why are only Muslim panelists called for discussion as a minority? Muslims are around 20% in india, and they should not be treated as minority anymore. What is about Sikhs, jains, Parasi, adivasis, and others who are far less than Muslims in india? Wherever the Muslims population is around 50% or more, then they do not allow freedom to other communities, including puja. Why do you not discuss the elimination and brutality of kashmiri Brahman by the Muslims?

Dear sir, This is the first time that our intellectual minds are sitting together and asking the right questions from the Government which is misleading the country and we want you to talk about the solutions as well as high lighting the problems. Your panel presented by very intelligent minds discussing the future of Indian Muslims so please let’s bring out from this mess of Hindu Muslim hate speeches and we all must work for the betterment of our great country. We hope that your next episode ‘Dil Se’ will be more interesting. With best Regards to Honorable Kabil Sibbal sahab and the members of the Panel.
I think this episode should be recorded in other local languages in order to reach to the common people.
The Congress party ruled for 65 years and is now accusing the BJP for Muslim backwardness. Hypocrisies. Education is a state matter, and the majority of Indian states have never been dominated by BJP.
This is a good start Mr. Sibal. We have the freedom to speak what is in our mind. We all have to live peacefully in this planet and we don't need any chaoes in our country like Somalia or Sudan. Thanks very much
