Jamia Nagar have a long history and it is said that it came into existence in the year 1905 but its development started in the mid of 40's. In the year 1920, Jamia Millia Islamia shifted from Aligarh to Jamia Nagar (New Delhi). After the independence people migrated from different part of India and shifted to this region. But most of them were Muslims by seeing the communal history of India and specially after 1984 anti-Sikh riots when Muslim noticed that most of the atrocities happened in areas where Sikhs were not living together. Due to this reason even wealthy Muslims shifted in Jamia Nagar rather than Greater Kailash or Lajpat Nagar. They gave the priority to safety of their lives, family and property rather than their religions.
Since 1988, Jamia Nagar was known for Jamia Millia Islamia (Central University). Apart from University, It was highly famous for its culture, tradition, custom, beautiful parks, charming greenery, and of course followers of Islam. It is truly quoted that "Time and Tide wait for no men", in the same manner things changed rapidly. In the present era Jamia Millia Islamia have become a center for fashion and west culture. The same institution were earlier considered as the Mosque of learning. Within a few years, people forgotten every thing for the sake of economical benefit. Here people are most selfish and talk about the philosophy of Jannat and Jahannam. Its too sad to say that every thing are altered from past.
As we all knows that this is the era of globalization, but if you will ask to any outsider about characteristics of Jamia Nagar. What you aspect in terms if his/her response. Definitely, lots of Muslim, Police encounter, a center of terrorism, cramped colonies packed with claustrophobic apartments, uncovered drains, and pot-holed roads.
Even after that you all feel proud to be member of this region, what the hell......All those people who have their own houses, they considered them self in a such way that they have SUPER POWER. They treat very badly with their renters. The incident which hurt me a lot, is all about the behavior of honor of flats and rooms. For last one month, i am searching a flat for rent and the most common question which i have faced are following.
1. Do you belongs to Azamgarh??????????
2. Are you student?????
3. DO you have any link with....????
4. There is no vacant room for the students, we have still remember the terror attack of Batla house.
5. Do you have family??????
Even the CBI will not ask so much questions as here building honors used to ask. Most of the flats holders are illiterate, socially and cultural backward. Even my flat honor is Bekri Wala and he have more than 20 Crore property. The question arises, if Muslim asks such silly question, then how other people will react with Muslims. Since the Batla House tragedy, the rent charge have been gone very high and unsatisfactory for the students. Here mainly students live on rent, who belongs to different part of this emerging nation India and having admission in Jamia Millia Islamia. If all the students will live this location then i am sure that more than 10,000 people will die within a few days. Because their life is fully dependent on rent money. I haven't seen stupid people like this one in my whole life. Really they are self centered, and business minded.
The most interesting thing about here people is talking about humanity, welfare of people in all respect of life. But they are not humanistic in their real life. Hey wealthy Muslims, remember wealth comes and goes, so don't feel proud of it. Almighty Allah have given you wealth for the purpose of your exam. On the day of judgment he will ask you,in what manner you have spent your wealth. Better to afraid from Allah and follow his words in daily life.

ReplyDeleteWho are telling to believe on strangers. The varification is not their Jobs, its Job of Police and they are expert in their Jobs. Flats Honors are only suppose to take the xerox copy of renters documents and submit to Police station and rest responsibilities goes to them.
If they can't keep their faith on Muslims then remember they have no rights to talk about humanity, Islam and so on.
Yeh definitely conditions are going to change,as Muslims will be richer they will kick to this location. earlier people used to think about communalizm. As soon they will be literate they will not have such worst mentality.
Thanks
