Letters to the Editor
Sir, — The statement of Maulana Rabe Hasan Nadvi, president of the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board, that the concept of family planning is un-Islamic (Sept. 15) comes as a disappointment. `Nation first' should be the attitude of all the communities. Given the influence they exert on the people, religious leaders, instead of issuing such statements, should be at the forefront to raise awareness among the masses over such crucial issues.
M. Pradeep Kumar,
* * * Sir, — It is distressing for moderate and forward-looking Muslims to see the flip-flop among the members of the AIMPLB on the small-family norm. To say that family planning is un-Islamic in a country which is struggling to check the population explosion seems to be out of sync with the times. Such statements contribute to the image of Islam as an anachronistic religion, incapable of adapting to change.
Mushtaqh Ali,
* * * Sir, — At a time when all the welfare measures are focussed on population control and literacy, Maulana Nadvi's statement is unwarranted. People must learn to put their country and its resources before anything else.
Sundeep Reddy,
