The Calcutta Quran Petition

This book is about the writ petition filed before Calcutta High Court by Shri Chandmal Chopra and Sital Singh requesting to direct the Government of W.B. for the reason that it promotes disharmony, feeling of enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious communities; incite people to commit violence and disturb public tranquility and outrage or insult other religions and the religious feelings of other communities in India, which render the book liable to be forfeited to the Government in terms of Section 95 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, read with Sections 153A and 295A of the Indian Penal Code. The book also reveals coward mentality of judiciary, bureaucracy and legislature while dealing with issues related to Mohammadans. in this case also, instead of dealing the issue on legal terms, the High Court decided the matter on belief and assumptions. Although, the petitioner in support of his application had submitted irrefutable grounds and also submitted specific Aayas of Koran which promote disharmony and ill will among different religious community. The book also contains brief Islamic history during the time of Mohammad, history of Islamic jihad in India, details of concept and meaning jihad, doctrine of Islamic State.
The author also highlights how Hindus have been fooled with falsified history in the name of National Integration Council and says that Hindus will never be able to tackle the ‘Muslim Minority’ unless they understand the source of its behaviour pattern. But hindus have so far failed to study the Quran with any seriousness whatsoever. The author urges Hindu Scholarship to come forward and make a serious study of the Quran with the help of Islamic theology and history.
