As we know, Rightwing Hindutva is the loudest proponent of the “Caste in Muslims” line.
Gullible Pasmanda activists fall for this charade while willing Quislings perpetuate it.
In this thread I give a rebuttal to each point of fitnāh made by this man.

Lie!
This is not an assertion of superiority but a genealogical frame merely tracing descent.
Nor is it comparable to Caste as institutionalised and practised by Vedic Brahminism.

NB: The Prophet (S.A.W.) in fact first took up arms against his own tribe, the Quraish.
The Quran is clear:
“He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein...”

Surah Ash-Shūrá Quran 42:13
The fact is, the Quran and The Prophet (S.A.W) lay great stress on the characteristics of superiority being righteousness and piety.
Tribal (again, not comparable to the caste system) membership did not denote superiority in religion.
This is a basic difference from Casteism.
What amateurs!
A fatwa is a non-binding legal opinion.

As for Barani let us go on to the next tweet in this thread so I can tear your fabrications to shreds.
Just look at the lies being perpetuated here!
Ziauddin Barani was never a “leading courtier”. He was merely a companion of Muhammad bin Tughlaq with NO official position!

Post Tughlaq’s death was a commentator who wrote privately. The Fatwa-i-Jahandari you have quoted...
...is a treatise meant to advise rulers on kingship, it was not an official document or ruling and nor did it represent an official position.
Please learn some basics of historiography before ascribing the wrong significance to historical writings.
As for Zia-ud-Din Barani 👇🏼
What a brazen lie!
@Amana_Ansari you need to provide proof of this allegation, else you need to apologise for vitiating public discourse.
@sankrant you need to verify sources before validating and promoting them to create enmity.
In either case, you are designers of division.
Finally, almost a hint at some progressive thinking, which then gives way to good old bigotry.
Yes the Muslim community faces huge issues of educational and economic backwardness. To turn this into a caste/conflict binary is deceitful.

See Ch 10 of the Sachar Committee Report.
Wrong again!
Intermarriage within Muslim communities across class divides happen regularly and nor are they exceptional.
Endogamy which persists for reasons of class, tribal, biradari are exactly because of those. Not because of religious scriptures perpetuating Caste structures!
