Activists love to tag the foreign media and officials in their tweets about ‘communal’ or ‘caste’ atrocities in India. They feel it’s the best way to pressurise the governments. Many Muslim activists who have a public image of following ‘Islamic ideology’ follow this pattern. Does Islam allow this? As Muslims, can we ask for foreign help in an internal matter of the country?

Maulana Ubaidallah wrote, “Our aim is to have our rightful share in Indian politics through legitimate means. For this, we do not expect any help from Muslims living in foreign lands. If any foreign aggressor tries to invade India, even if it is a Muslim power, we will fight tooth and nail against it. We believe that no Muslim political power has a right to ruin this Indian land in the name of Islam. Aren't we Muslims? Don’t we have a right to govern and administer our nation? No doubt, foreign Muslim nations have every right to advance and develop themselves. But, we can never accept that they have any right to extend their suzerainty over India.”

Maulana Ubaidullah Sindhi believed that Indians should solve their problems themselves by providing security to food, education, and health to everyone. He believed that a universal adult franchise with social and economic security would transform India into the international power it once was.
