The doubtful fact-checker thought it might be a good suggestion to make references to her ancestry to color her as a patriotic Indian. In his determined bid to offer her a clear chit, Zubair glossed over the controversial previous of the founding father of the Aligarh Muslim college.
The controversial previous of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan
Sir Syed Ahmed Khan was no unusual Islamic scholar however a bigoted and radical cleric, baying for the blood of Hindus:
During a speech on March 14, 1888, he stated –
“…You must remember that although the number of Mahomedans is less than that of the Hindus, and although they contain far fewer people who have received a high English education, yet they must not be thought insignificant or weak. Probably they would be by themselves enough to maintain their own position. But suppose they were not. Then our Mussalman brothers, the Pathans, would come out as a swarm of locusts from their mountain valleys, and make rivers of blood to flow from their frontier in the north to the extreme end of Bengal.”
In the identical speech, he had claimed –
“Now, suppose that each one English, and the entire English military, had been to depart India, taking with all of them their cannon and their splendid weapons and the whole lot, then who can be rulers of India? Is it doable that below these circumstances two nations — the Mahomedans and the Hindus — may sit on the identical throne and stay equal in energy? Most definitely not. It is critical that one among them ought to conquer the opposite and thrust it down. To hope that each may stay equal is to want the inconceivable and the inconceivable.“
In 1876, he made related claims in Benaras –
“I am convinced now that Hindus and Muslims could never become one nation as their religion and way of life was quite distinct from each other.”
Sir Syed Ahmed Khan additionally acknowledged that it was the responsibility of Muslims to be loyal to the British Empire. He even referred to as the Revolt of 1857 an act of ‘haramzadgi’.

Bizarre claims of patriotism
As such, the argument {that a} descendant of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan can be ‘patriotic towards India’ by advantage of lineage is ridiculous at finest. Nonetheless, Opindia identified in its final report that ‘journalist’ Sabrina Siddiqui is an American citizen.
She was born to a Pakistani mom and a father, who was raised in Pakistan although he was of Indian descent. Sabrina alternatively was born within the United States. All in all, she is an American of Pakistani descent.
The ‘journalist’ has no compulsion to be patriotic, provided that she doesn’t maintain the citizenship of India. But her antics in the course of the joint press convention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden have clearly proven that she definitely doesn’t have the most effective pursuits of India at coronary heart.
She cunningly raked up the difficulty of the ‘treatment of Muslims and minorities in India’ to offer the impression that these teams are being ill-treated right here. This narrative is part of the bigger leftist-Islamist creativeness of ‘Dara hua Musalman.’
Sabrina Siddiqui tried her finest to bitter the press convention with an ill-intentioned query however Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi nonetheless gave a befitting reply.
Now, the likes of Mohammed Zubair are declaring her previous tweets, whereby she pledged allegiance to India throughout cricket matches. As leftists like to ask, will a trivial factor similar to a cricket match now be thought of the yardstick of patriotism?
