I think her main task is to teach the world to behave humanly, stop fights and save the costly human blood; so as to lead to peace and prosperity. Let there be friendship throughout.

An Indian – American Farha Pandith is recently been appointed US Special Representative for Muslim world. Her talent and intelligence is above discussion and her appointment to this high office is in result of equal opportunities for all in USA. But her mission for Muslim world while having a Hindu last name and American way of life-dress etc, being brought up and studied in USA, is full of doubts. I am not very optimistic about her mission in multilingual Muslim world. It would have been much better to give her a job of mediation between Pakistan and India for an old dispute of Kashmir as she is of Kashmiri origin. Muslim world is headed by two leading nations of Iran and Saudi Arabia and then further divided in to Arab, African and Asian divisions. Non Arab Muslims live in many leading countries and in my opinion an Indian- American young lady may not be the right person to bring or influance this complex community of the world. Generaly USA is consider a friend of currupt rulers of Muslim world having no concern with the poor and unducated Muslims.This is my opinion based on my multi cultural background and languages skill but any way I wish Ms. Pandith best of luck.

It meimmense pleasure to see a daughter of Kashmir having earned name and fame, not only among muslim countries but accross the globe for her ability to find a place in US Adminstration. Our hats off. She is a bridge between the muslims and the rest of communities. I hope she can devliver with vision, wisdom, logic and pragmatism. The misunderstandings among the Western countries n rest of the world about Islam need to be clarified first with substance then the things will fall in line. She is an ambassedor of Islam with an opportunity to work for the Muslim interests at large under the US adminstration . It can benifits both the US and the Muslims as well. I wish her a great success in his mission .
