Bombay: The foreign tours of the head of the Dawoodi Bohras, Dr. S. M. Burhanuddin, have given a fitting reply to the false propaganda in some countries that minorities do not have freedom in India, according to Dr. Yusuf Najmuddin, the Syedna’s brother and Rector of the Arabic Academy in Surat, reports UNI. In fact, the existence of the Bohra sect’s headquarters here makes it clear that tolerance prevails in India. The Syedna had just returned from a tour of Sri Lanka Meanwhile, a Pakistani editor who visited India after 35 years found Indian Muslims self-confident and their relations with the majority community vastly improved. Altaf Hassan Quereshi, the editor of the monthly, Urdu Digest, of Lahore. visited different parts of India last February to study the common man’s attitude to Pakistan & condition of Indian Muslims.
