The Islam which can co-exist with other religions is the one propagated by the likes of Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
This year’s Padma Awards had some surprises. Among the awardees are two prominent Islamic scholars,
viz., Maulana Wahiduddin Khan and Maulana Kalbe Sadiq (posthumously), who have been awarded the Padma Vibhushan and the Padma Bhushan, India’s second and third highest civilian honour/awards, respectively. The nonagenarian scholar, Wahiduddin Khan had earlier been conferred the Padma Bhushan in 2000, and the Rajiv Gandhi National Sadbhavana Award in 2009.
