A cluster of shrines of all denominations dots the road that has not seen a single instance of communal violence.
The meharab with the black granite frame at the Jumma Masjid.
IT IS every bit a spot Mahatma Gandhi dreamed of. A stretch on Old Poor House Road in the Cantonment area, behind Bowring Hospital, has a church, two temples, and four mosques. As the country enters its 57th year of Independence at a time of competitive communalism, the businessmen on O.P.H. Road have insulated this busy street from the influence of zealots.
“We live like brothers here. We sit across the table and sort out the differences, if there are any,” says Syed Masood, Chairman of the Jumma Masjid Trust, which owns 290 shops on O.P.H. Road. The mosque, which has a 90-foot minaret, was built in 1790 with materials supplied by Tipu Sultan from Srirangapatna. The magnificent granite structure can accommodate up to 5,000 people for namaz. The frame of its mehrab is carved out of a single block of black granite. The serene prayer hall has black stone pillars. The other four mosques are Masjid-e-Azam, Masjid-e-Bewarpawan (Merchant’s Mosque), Lal Masjid (1845), and Masjid-e-Lababeen.
The Jumma Masjid also has a clock that has been ticking for 97 years now. Its late Imam, Abdul Hafeez Junaidi, had the distinction of being the only imam in India to have conducted prayers for 50 years in a row. Having played no mean role in promoting peace, he is still revered by the businessmen of the area.
To the left of the mosque stands the Lakshminarasimha Swamy Temple. The sanctum sanctorum was earlier a small mandapam with the beautiful deity carved out of granite, said to date back to early 19th Century. Doddanna Shetty (1840-1921), well-known philanthropist and founder of S.L.N. Charities, drawn to the modest shrine as a boy, developed it into a full-fledged temple in 1910.
A striking example of harmony.
Later, the late Mayor, C.P. Deenadayalu Naidu, took over management of the shrine. After his time, the mantle fell on his nephew, V.P. Chengalarayalu Naidu, in 1986. The latter says even on December 6, 1992, when the area was tense after the Babri Masjid was razed in Ayodhya, the area, on which a curfew was clamped, remained free of violence. “I rushed to the temple on hearing the news that day. The businessmen told us that nothing untoward would happen,” he says.
The temple attracts a large number of devotees from the surrounding villages on Holi, not to speak of hundreds of Christians who throng St. Mary’s Basilica during Mary’s Feast in September. Incidentally, a few feet away from the temple is St. Paul’s Church, which has its entrance at the Bowring Hospital end.
To the right of the Jumma Masjid is the 101-year-old Sri Venugopalaswamy Temple, run by the Reddy Bhoomi Kalyana Kula Brundam. The garba griha here has Rukmini, Venugopala Swamy, and Satyabhama as deities. Built in 1902, it used to have Sugreeva as the presiding deity earlier. When a shrine at Vannarpet (Viveknagar) was dismantled, the idols of Rukmini, Venugopala Swamy, and Satyabhama were shifted to this temple by members of the Reddy Bhoomi Kula community.
Says V. Krishnamurthy Shastri, an astrologer who has been working here for the past seven years: “Till recently, oil for the lamps and flowers for puja were supplied by Muslims. When they take out processions, they don’t trouble us. On special occasions, the traders go out of their way to help us.”
T.H. Yang, a Chinese trader, who makes special shoes for disabled persons, finds it hard to be unaffected by the friendly nature of the people in the area. He has been doing business here (his shop is called C.H. Yong and Company) for 51 years. His father opened the establishment in 1933 and he took over in 1952.
The clock that has been ticking for 97 years at the mosque.
Communal harmony had always existed in the 15-odd villages surrounding Cantonment, even before General Wellesley trooped in with his soldiers in 1809 after conquering Srirangapatnam. The burrah sahebs and memsabs, as the Europeans were called, did not attempt to alter this situation either.
“The Assigned Tract (Cantonment) had a charm of its own, which can hardly be described. The area is an agglomeration of people of different tongues — both Indian and European — welded into one community by the common economic interests. Here met East and West in a most dynamic focus. A warm handshake, a courteous salaam, and a kindlynamaste greeted the citizens. Its population, in 1891, was 1,00,81 as against 80,285 in the city,” says Fazlul Hassan, historian, in his bookBangalore Through The Centuries.
Although vivacious shoppers from Europe and savvy merchants dominated life here, lending its own character, the Cantonment area did catch the spirit of nationalist fervour. During the height of the Khilafat movement in 1921, it reverberated with slogans of Swaraj. Merchants and philanthropists supported the movement and a public meeting was held at the Idgah Maidan in Benson Town which was addressed by Mahatma Gandhi, Moulana Abul Kalam Azad, and Moulana Shoukat Ali. In a fiery speech, Moulana Mohammed Ali said: “The power behind the chakra gun is so effective that a single shot fired from Bangalore is sufficient to destroy Manchester.”
Traders from Commercial Street sent bales of foreign cloth to the sprawling maidans of Blackpalli (Shivajinagar) and the Muslim orphanage on Dickenson Road, which were set on fire. Osman Sait, a wealthy merchant, sold all his property to meet the expenses of Khilafat movement in the area and to start nationalist educational institutions and publications.
Today, not many remember the heady days and valorous deeds that eventually won us Independence. When our country now battles religious turmoil from within, communities like those on O.P.H. Road are an inspiring example.

The discarded Indian batsman Mohammad Kaif, yesterday, got inducted to the elite list of players to score 10000 runs in first-class cricket. He achieved this milestone in his debut game for Chhattisgarh against Tripura in the first round of Ranji Trophy. Before this game, Kaif was just 26 runs away from achieving this record. He scored a total of 27 runs in this game, one more what was needed to get on this list.
The good thing was that the debutant Chhattisgarh team cruised to a superb win over Tripura. They were asked to chase a tiny total of 13 in the final innings of the game which they chased down a day before the game was scheduled to get over but they missed out on a bonus point as they lost one wicket on their way to this total.
Mohammed Kaif, in his in 19 years of the first-class career has played 178 first-class games in which he has scored 10001 runs at an average of 39.84. He last played a Test match for India in the year 2006 against West Indies. Since then, he has been out of the team, though chances of his comeback grew in the year 2013 when he was selected for India A but that was just a touch and go moment for him.
Kaif is not just the only batsman to earn honors in the first round of Ranji Trophy as Gujarat Wicketkeeper batsman; Parthiv Patel also entered an elite list by crossing the 9000 run mark in first-class cricket. Patel needed just 6 runs to cross this mark; he went on to score 20 runs in the game. He might not be impressed with his score but a double century from Manpreet Juneja and a century from Indian spinner Axar Patel ensured a smile on his face as Gujarat went on to eclipse the mammoth total of 544, gaining the first innings lead against Baroda earning those 3 crucial points.
Parthiv Patel is still one of the aspirants who hope to make a comeback at least in Test cricket. He has a golden opportunity as he still has 7 matches to go his way and can make a comeback if he performs there.

The historic tank has been revived with water from the Krishna river
Brimming with water, with women washing clothes at the edge while children swim in the fresh water, it is hard to believe that just a month ago, the Begum Talab, spread across over 234 acres, was a barren wasteland, with few small pools of water.
The ancient tank, built during the rule of Mohammad Adil Shah in 1651, has not seen such water levels for the past five decades. But under an ambitious project of the Water Resources Ministry to rejuvenate and replenish tanks, water from the Krishna river has been drawn to fill the tank and recharge ground water. Over the past year, a 50 km pipeline was laid from the river to the tank. The tank was among seven revived in the district at a cost of Rs 190 crore.
Crucial water source
According to historian Abdulghani Imaratwale, Adil Shah built the tank in the name of one his queens; Jahan Begum. The construction was supervised his commander Afzal Khan to provide drinking water to Bijapur city which then had the population of around nine lakh.
Dr. Imaratwale said the water was not only used for the palaces or prominent places of the kingdom, but also for public consumption as the city did not have other drinking water sources.
The tank, located on the southern part of the city, used to supply water through the earthen pipes to many ganjs (overhead stone tanks). It was the second major water source for the city after the Ramalinga tank. Unfortunately the ganjs and the old pipes have fallen into disrepair,
Expressing elation over the government decision to refill the tank, Dr Imaratwale termed the project a significant step in restoring the history of the city.
“ It is heartening to know that Water Resources Ministry led by M. B. Patil is showing concern to restore and revive the ancient tank which had once served a major water source. The tank still has the same capacity if the water is stored and used,” he said.

A woman from Dakshina Kannada district got an international certificate in transactional analysis psychotherapy. She is reportedly the third Muslim woman in the world to achieve this feat.
Forty-two-year-old Haseena Abdulla, daughter of K Abdulla Parkala of Manipal , received the certificate by the International Transactional Analysis Assoication at the conference hosted by SAATA – a South Asian Association in September. Transactional analysts from many countries witnessed the event and examiners were from Germany, UK, Japan, South Africa, US, and India. This award is an appreciation for her eight years of effort in exploring the world of psychotherapy.
P K Saru, the former president of SAATA and founder director, ASHA Counselling and Training Centre, Coimbatore and Fuson, provisional teaching supervising transactional analyst from Turkey are the only two Muslim women, to have got this certificate before Haseena Abdulla.
Haseena said she is very passionate in discovering the frames of relationship and initiating empowerment efforts for many. “As an ardent learner of human behaviour, my journey of seeking knowledge led me into the world of transactional analysis.
It was a road less travelled for Muslim women, and I am the third Muslim woman transactional analyst in the world, and second in the country to earn this certificate,” she said proudly.
Haseena, who was trained under P K Saru, is a post graduate in psychology and sociology. She has also been trained in hypnotherapy, gestalt therapy and psychodrama. She is a master practitioner in NLP trained by Dr. Richard Mc Hugh, USA. Currently she is a practising psychotherapist and has a clinic in Manipal. She is also a visiting practitioner at Calicut, Kerala.
“Transactional analysis is a most advanced discipline in psychotherapy arena, which empowers the patients with awareness and the power to heal. It has a strong evidence based, effective diagnosis and participatory treatment plan for patients with psychiatric problems. Consulting a psychologist is still a stigma in the community and labelling the client as psychotic, sometimes even by the practitioners caused this unfortunate situation. Discovering the unknown part of the self is essential in completion of a healing process. Transactional analysis psychotherapist helps the client to achieve this by not being labelled,” Haseena said.
“The concepts in transactional analysis could be readily applied in our lives from the moment we are exposed to them. It believes that the power to cure and heal is in the patient. Therapist is just a facilitator to the patient to think and decide. Application of TA has also been instrumental in organizational success and educational excellence,” she added.

P.R. Sreejesh will lead India in Kuantan, Malaysia.
Bengaluru :
Following their impressive performances in domestic tournaments, Hockey India named two youngsters — defender Jasjit Singh Kular and striker Affan Yousuf — in the senior national team for the fourth edition of the Asian Champions Trophy to be played in Kuantan, Malaysia, from October 20.
In the 18-member side announced on Thursday, goalkeeper P.R. Sreejesh will lead, while midfielder Manpreet Singh is vice-captain.
Kular will join experienced seniors Rupinder Pal Singh, Kothajit Singh, Surender Kumar and Pardeep Mor to form India’s defence line.
V.R. Raghunath has been ruled out with an elbow injury and Sansapur’s Kular is expected to take his spot as a drag flicker. Birendra Lakra makes a comeback after a long-term on the sidelines.
Ace drag-flicker Raghunath has been advised rehabilitation for three weeks and though Manpreet and S.V. Sunil are carrying minor injuries the duo have been cleared to play.
Skipper Sreejesh believes the team is well-balanced. “It is time for a new cycle. Usually the cycle is from one Olympics to another so it is a new beginning for us. A couple of youngsters have been added to the team, especially in the forward line and defence. Raghu has a few niggles so has been rested. It is a good and well-balanced side,” stated the custodian.
Taking charge in the absence of chief coach Roelant Oltmans, strategy coach Roger van Gent said the Asian event would be a challenge for young striker Yousuf.
“We know him for long and it’s time for him to challenge and play in the senior team. In the last two weeks in the camp, he’s working on exactly what we want from him,” said the Dutchman.
Over the last two weeks at the Sports Authority of India, South Centre, van Gent stressed on improving overall skills. “When we analysed the way we played at the Olympics and also the tournament before that, we got some points where we have to improve.The way we are playing right now we are focusing on the PCs and there needs improvement,” he added.
Freedom fighters suffered for a cause and passed away, leaving behind a shadow of their love for India. One such person now forgotten by the new generation is Haji Oosman Sait. His family still lives in the city of Bangalore, where once upon a time, it was richest owning nearly 27 bungalows, Imperial Talkies on St. Marks Road, the most costly land in the city.
Whenever our his wife was pregnant, Hajee Usman Sait used to name the bungalow where she will deliver the next baby. That is why, until recently, all these bungalows had the stone name-plates like Yakoob Villa, Ebrahim Villa, Khader Villa, Iqbal Villa etc. All bungalows starting from Richmond Road petrol station to the present-day India Garage was known as “Cash Bazaar departmental stores”.
This highly successful businessman and cloth merchant met Gandhiji and Nehru who changed his life and infused him with a mission to work for the independence of India, to be free from the bondage of the British rule. Haji Oosman Sait now started supporting the freedom movement financially. He gave gold coins in leather bags to Nehru and Gandhiji so much so that he was labelled as the “cash bag of the National Congress”. His support to the freedom movement angered the British who started boycotting Haji Oosman Sait’s businesses. He had to sell and pledge his properties and yet continued paying the National Congress regularly to continue its activities. The amount spent by Haji Oosman Sait in support of the freedom struggle has been estimated in today’s terms at 7000 crore rupees.
At the call given by Mahatma Gandhi to boycott English schools, Haji Oosman Sait was first to open an Indian National School in 1921. This motivated many Muslims to start their own schools.
The family of Hajee Oosman Sait, consisting of 102 members today, are proud of the sacrifices of their grandfather. The leaders of the freedom struggle never forgot their friend in need. After independence, Nehru in 1949 allotted 300 acres of land to the family of Hajee Usman Sait, but the family showing great respect for the sacrifices made by their grandfather, refused to take any favours in return for the sacrifices offered by Haji Oosman Sait who was the first Congress President of the erstwhile Mysore State and served the National Congress till his death. His children hope to see the India that their grandfather and leaders of the freedom struggle had in their dreams. (Based on information provided by Haji Oosman Sait’s grandson, Mohamed Ali Javeed)

Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui may have backed out of his Ramlila act in riot-affected and divided Muzaffarnagar , but in adjoining Agra, Nizamuddin continues to rock the Ramlila stage.
He’s been doing key roles for over last five years and is Janak, the father of Sita, this time, no less. It wasn’t always that easy for Nizamuddin though.
During his early years in the Ramlila theater, he too faced protests and opposition like the way Nawazuddin did. But he stood his ground. In fact, another Muslim will do the part of Bharat along with him this year.
The 55-year-old Nizamuddin, who is the track man at Agra cantt station in north central railway zone, never had any acting classes but landed up for top notch role in 46th edition of Ramlila theater on dussehra.
Speaking to TOI, Nizamuddin said, “Back in 2010 when I gave my first audition for Ramlila play organized by railway, I was offered roles of Shantanu (father of Shravan) and Rishi Atari (mentor of Sabri). But soon, scores of people from my own community raised questioned on my faith in Islam. I was almost ousted.”
Nizamuddin playing Janak character, father of Sita, sits on the extreme left and delivers his dialogues.
“But as an artist I never changed my stance. There is no sin if a Muslim man acts in Hindu play. Ramlila talks about peace and triumph over evil. Getting a role in Ramlila is a matter of pride for me,” he said.
Expressing his dissent on Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui backing out from play after opposition from right wing members, Nizamuddin said, “Nawazuddin is an artist, he should have continued with his act instead of giving up against bullies. I’m sure, the local residents and administration would had supported him if he would have stood up.”
Talking to TOI, director of Ramlila theater, Manoj Singh, who has been playing role of Ravan since 1998, said, “It is amazing to see the zeal of men like Nizamuddin, who outsmart other contestant for the roles. This is blunt and appropriate reply to those people, who want to create enmity and disturbance among different communities.”
“This year we had only two Muslim artists who have notched the top roles, while for the first time a woman has joined the play to act as Sita,” added Singh.
