Through the Ayurveda Foundation Charitable Trust, an independent research and survey company based in Gujarat, nationalist Muslim organization Muslim Rashtriya Manch conducted the largest survey among Muslims in the nation to date. The “Ram Jan Survey” was the name of this national survey. The survey’s goal was to find out what Muslims thought of Maryada Purushottam, Jai Siya Ram, and Shri Ram.

How do Muslims in the nation feel about the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi? It is appropriate and justified to discuss how Muslims and Islam are portrayed. The poll revealed that Ram is not a single person in the public.. And the most effective Prime Minister of Bharat, Narendra Modi, whose opinions are listened to and accepted by not just Bharat but the entire globe. Many Muslims publicly chanted Jai Shri Ram during the survey. The poll also revealed that opposition leaders, so-called Ulemas, and Maulanas attempting to make a political career out of Islam need to be totally shunned.

Muslim Rashtriya Manch’s national media coordinator, Shahid Saeed, provided comprehensive details of the survey. The survey was carried out by the Ayurveda Foundation Charitable Trust among 10,000 people in the northeastern states and in the following states: Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Bengaluru, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Assam. According to the survey, 74% of Muslims publicly supported the Ram Temple, and 72% supported the Modi administration. A quarter of Muslims discussed religious fundamentalism and said they had little faith in the Modi administration.

Although these individuals acknowledge that Ramadan is a matter of religion, they do not believe they will ever visit a Ram temple and they have little faith in the Modi administration. The primary finding of the poll indicated that 74% of Muslims are satisfied with the mandir’s construction. The Modi government is trusted by 70% of Muslims.

Of Muslims, 70% think that Bharat has become a global force and 72% think that the opposition has nothing to complain about. The  Bharatiya Muslims believe the Modi administration has accomplished many great things, including building the Ram temple, repealing Section 370 and 35A, banning the use of cows for labor, and passing legislation against triple talaq. The survey also disclosed that Muslims receive several advantages, such as the construction of toilets under the Jan Dhan Yojana, free rations under the Ujjwala Yojana, and free meals under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. The nation’s intellectuals, common Muslims, ulemas, and maulanas feel that the RSS and BJP, two hate groups, have been threatening and intimidating them for years. Muslims should take the initiative and start a historic effort to build confidence in the BJP and the Modi administration.

Muslims also acknowledged that the Muslim Rashtriya Manch campaign, led by Indresh Kumar, the remarks, conduct, and deeds of RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, as well as the policies of the Modi government, neutralized the animosity that political parties had fostered among them against the BJP and RSS.

Muslims in the nation hold that everyone is a part of Ram and that Ram is a part of everyone. In light of this, it is imperative to respond appropriately to those disruptive elements attempting to destroy the nation’s spirit in the name of Ram. Muslims have also said rather openly that it is forbidden to worship in a mosque that was constructed by destroying a place of worship for a different religion.

Although they believed that the construction of Babri Masjid entailed the destruction of Ram Lala’s temple, which was a heinous and illegal act, the Supreme Court has now put an end to the long-running dispute, and the Modi government has given Ram Lala justice. It is appreciated that the mandir has been built in order to facilitate the consecration ceremony. The nation will always observe Ram Lala’s enthronement as a celebration, in which the Muslim community will take part with great enthusiasm.

A sizable portion of respondents to the survey thought that the nation should totally eradicate fundamentalism. The nation ought to advance in a spirit of calm and harmony, growth, and confidence. Muslims felt most secure under Modi’s leadership, and their faith in the BJP has grown as a result of Modi. They thought that democracy had been reinforced by the court’s ruling about the mandir. They also believe there were no problems with the opposition.
