Hanafis do not talk about government policies they are largely (I do not like using this word because it is not really an Islamic word) apolitrical (non political). This is because the Osmanli khilafat was hanafi and it ruled for 800 years, hanafis took the surrounding society as a given not something that needed changing. This is still part of the Hanafi way even when the surrounding society is completely different. Hanafis are very secular.

It difficult in the extreme to believe this and the similar enunciation in the earlier post.

We shall talk of Shamli 1857 or so.
We shall continue from there.
Till we talk about Silken Kerchief Movement.
