When there are debates about religious representation in the country, especially in the Waqf boards, there is a emotional story from Kashmir about Hindu members. This story is an example of unity, faith and inclusive nationalism. The ‘Sai Mandir Sansthan’, a prestigious religious and social organization in Surat (Gujarat), has taken a historic step by appointing Kashmiri Muslim and ground social activist Firdaus Baba as a trustee for the Sai temple project to be built in Anantnag. In this country, often divided by identity politics, this appointment says that the soul of India lives not in partition, but in shared service and mutual respect.

Who is Firdaus Baba?

Firdaus Baba, the founder of Kashmir Seva Sangh, has been working in areas such as education, health, rehabilitation and skill building in the valley for years, especially in conflict and backward areas. His appointment in the temple trust is not a symbolic step, but a true confession of his service, honesty and attitude. It gives this strong and reliable message to India and the world: faith is personal, but service is universal. Sai Baba of a Muslim person, who is revered in all communities, to be one of the main trustees of the Hindu temple shows that spirituality and service can be above all borders.

Why is this decision important?

This important step has been taken in a sad time when the terrorist attack in Pahalgam gave deep wounds to the valley. But instead of the way of revenge or migration, the trust chose the path of reconstruction through compassion. The proposed “temple of humanity” in Anantnag will not only be a religious place, but will be a lively social ecosystem where women will be empowered, children will be educated, and everyone will get health services without discrimination.

What else will the trust work?

The trust will establish several social facilities along the temple complex, which will turn it into a complete community welfare center. These will include vocational training centers like sewing, embroidery and digital literacy for women, as well as skill development and entrepreneurship programs for youth. A school unit will distribute free educational materials, conduct tuition and promote inclusive education, while health camps will provide weekly checks, medicines and consultation. It is not only a charity, but a structured empowerment – which can become a model of self -reliant and inclusive development based on Indian values.

What did Firdaus Baba say on the appointment?

Reacting to this appointment, Firdaus Baba says, “I am a Muslim, and I have been entrusted with the responsibility of serving the Sai Baba temple. This is the real India – where your work is bigger than your name, and your compassion is from your identity. Our answer to Pahalgam is not hated, there is no hatred, harmony. Through the Kashmir Seva Sangh, we always believe that the Valley is not a weapon, today is not a weapon. It is not just a temple, but a social revolution under construction. “

Women rights workers also trustees

Geeta Shroff, a women’s rights activist and member of the Uniform Civil Code Drafting Committee, is also a trustee of the project and will lead women-focused initiatives. They believe that this center will give the world a new vision to see the world as a transformative, not Kashmiri women. “Now the women of Kashmir will not only be seen as a victim, but as the creator of a new India. Every stitch here will be associated with the hope of hope. For themselves, for children, and for India. Their presence also shows that the project is not just a religious initiative, but a combination of local spirit with the condolences of national policy.

‘We are not afraid of diversity, embrace her’

Acharya Shyam Suresh, president of Sai Mandir Sansthan, Surat, shares the deep meaning of this initiative and says- “When a Hindu temple makes a trustee for duty, not a Muslim, but it reflects the esoteric values ​​of our civilization.” The temple of humanity ” Humanity ‘is dedicated to the civilized confidence of India. It is evidence that we do not have a doubt, where we are not afraid of diverse. Are, this silent initiative connects us. “

This initiative, conjunct by the Gujarat-based trust, presents an alternative way to the politics of fear and polarization. This shows that India’s future is not only in customs or slogans, but in inclusive action, ground service and fearless compassion. The hand that wakes up for prayer should also get up for service. The one who bends in heart devotion should also get up in sensation. This is India which we are not only in temples, but also in classrooms, clinics and community centers. As soon as the first bricks of the ‘temple of humanity’ are being kept in Anantnag, they are not just a building, but a message. A message that the greatness of India is not in any one religion, but in adopting all religions through karma. It is not only a regional story, but the story of India’s real strength is unity in diversity and progress without favoritism.
