[quote]also had a chance to read a book by Maulvi Abdulkarim recently re: faith and reasoning(A Simple Guide to Islam's Contribution to Science and Civilization) published in 1935 and interestingly it has been foreworded by a Hindu scholar Rabindranath Tagore who writes: [green]" One of the most potent sources of Hindu- Muslim conflict in India is our scant knowledge of eachother . We live side by side and yet our words are entirely different. such mental aloofness has done immense mischief in the past and forbodes an evil future. It is only through a sympathetic understanding of eachothers' culture and social customs and conventions that we can create an atmosphere of peace and goodwill.With this end in view I started a department of Islamic culture in Visva Bharati a few years ago with the generous financial support of His Exaulted Highness, the Nizam. I am glad to say the experiment has been successful. But work of this sort must be elaborated a hundred fold. Individual educationists and scholars must take it up and I heartily welcome, therefore, the series of articles from my distinguished countryman, Maulvi Abdul Karim, on Islam's Contribution to Science and Civilisation. The writer has clothed his erudition in as simple a garb as possible and the book should have great popular appeal. It is with pleasure that i commend the book to my countrymen." [/green] Rabindranath Tagore Uttarayan Santiniketan, Bengal Aug 19th, 1935[/quote]
