HINDU ASSERTIVENESS AND UNFOUNDED FEARS!
I would like to quote Napoleon who had said: World suffers a lot not because of the violence of Bad people but Silence of Good people. I would re-frame it to say that HINDUISM in India suffers NOT so much from its obvious FAILINGS but from its excessive GOODNESS.
This write-up is inspired by 'Prostitutional treatment of Hinduism' by all and sundry. More particularly, I write it as a rejoinder to an unwanted criticism of an article in the online daily Newspaper, DNA, by Dr Subramaniyam Swamy, which has been posted verbatim by Gregory Fegel on Sulekha.. One might not agree on measures suggested by Dr Swamy to eradicate terrorism, but there was no DEVIL in his article. He spoke out the bare facts, which most of us want to hedge hog in the name of pesudo-secularism. Problem is not of Secularism but his call for assertion of Hinduism. People are annoyed because he has named Muslim fundamentalists as the root cause of terrorism. This was his cardinal sin, as viewed by his frantic critics. I wonder if the tolerance level of Indian Muslims was so low that their patience cracks at the mere accusation of one person. Or is it that truth was bitter---very very bitter.
But why are these pseudo-secular Hindus batting for the Muslim community? I am sure and I can vouch for it that bulk of the Muslim community of India understands this reality. It is only these SELF ACCLAIMED MESSAIHAS of MUSLIMS, from the ranks of HINDUS, who are squeaking like this. And they have made Hinduism their whipping boy to instil fear amongst the minorities in general and Muslims in particular.
Hinduism has been made to look a diabolical monster through such criticism of Dr Swamy. A blogger says it would lead to anarchy. Another feared it might fragment India.If Indian Unity is so fragile that it breaks up at the mere raising of a finger at "Muslim Fundamentalists" by someone----then it must damn well break-up. There is no need for such a weak India in the commity of nations! But before that these guys must answer as to why didn't they expounded the same theory when their "Priya Rahul Ji" lamented to the US Ambassador on "Hindu terror"? Why doesn't India break up when Digvijay Singh sees the hands of "Hindu terrorists" in every misfortune India undergoes. Is tolerance only to be shown by Hindus? Why doesn't someone ask the families of those killed in Mumbai 26/11 as to who the terrorists were? Why don't these guys investigate series of blasts carried out in various cities of India in 2008-09? We all know the truth but we want to close our eyes. If a Subramaniyam Swamy speaks, we go crazy in denouncing him and think we can wish away the evil by closing our eyes. Our pseudo-secularists suffer from an 'Ostrich syndrome' or as I prefer to dub it a "pigeon psyche".
Some, often, rubbish Hinduism in the name of secularism; some ridicule it in the name of "surging Hindu terror"; some exploit it in the name of its puratnical ethics; some rebuke it being a 'majority' religion of India and some even poke fun at its epochal characters like Hanuman etc. The things have come to such a sorry pass that should a person just identifiy himself as a HINDU, there would be cries all over India of " HINDU TERROR" or even danger to SECULARISM. Some even see it as a threat to NATIONAL SECURITY. This noise and the 'cowardice docility' of a Hindu, sends the entire community into a state of 'suspended animation'. He is neither dead, nor alive; neither existing, nor perishing and neither cared nor alienated. It seems, to be recognised as a Hindu today, is a shame in India of yore.
Though I was a born 'Hindu' , in practice and conduct. I was never a 'Hindu'. I genuinely detested this 'birth tag' denomination of my religion, which I thought had been thrust upon me without my consent. As a rebellious youth, I had a tendency to question the established order. To be very frank, I did not like the chaos and anarchy of Hindu philosophy of gods ---too many of them to give you any comfort. As a youngman, I did everything what a Hindu is forbidden to do---I ate 'halal meat'; I relished beef. I even questioned the occurence of Ramayana and Mahabharta, at the level and scale it is made out to be. I still do it.
But I wonder, today, whether all other religions allow such freedom and lattitude to be so independent and freewheeling in your thoughts? May be Christanity---but they also impose compulsary 'Sunday Mass' on their followers. Hindus care too hoots for such compulsary rituals---it is voluntary. I don't know whether it was weakness or strength but I do feel all CONTROLLED RELIGIONS have a tendency to stay in a 'Ghetto'. There are fears of desertion by followers, if given freedom. Fatwas, Five times compulsary NAMAZ; Burqa for women etc., etc---these are some common measures to control the followers. And Sir, This is the reason for the rise of ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISM ---the FEAR OF ITS LOSING GROUND in the aftermath of Globalisation----which is actusally the feared GLASNOST of CLOSED RELIGIONS. Mullas and Qazis have come to dominate. What happened to Christanity in the medeival period or to HInduism after Mahabharta war, Islam is passing through now. Whenever clergy came to the fore in any religion, decay and destruction of that religion began.
My main grouse is that I am tired of listening to this "HINDU -BASHING" , which goes on day in and day out without any rhyme and reason. People talk of Hindu- Terror----when in reality they are most docile and even cowardly, if I may say so. It is this docile nature of Hindus which has become the cause of their problems. At the drop of a hat Hindus submit to the authority---or anyone behaves "God-Like"-----This explains the multiplicity of GODS. GODESSES and GODMEN in India---to each one acoo"rding to his tastes and likes.
What is secularism of today? It is merely in name--outlined in the constitution. It is practised in a most chaotic and confused manner. In real sense, true SECULARISM would imply NON-PATRONISATION of any class, creed, religion, region,language in ANY FORM by THE STATE. But we have caste reservations, we have a minority commission, we have special provision and protection for some states and religions on silly reasons and we have now even gender differentiation for woman reservation. To say the least our constitution is the BIGGEST PRACTITIONER OF NON-SECULAR ETHOS. We are undoubtedly a nation driven to hypocrisy by wrong practices. The PROTECTIONIST policies of our constitution is the mother of PSEUDO-SECULARISM.
I ask a simple question now. Does ASSERTION of HINDUISM by someone endanger secularism? You should have asked yourself as to why has he asserted himself? In fact, this is the question I ask everyone. What has driven this most docile creature called HINDU to such a state that he wants to assert himself? Why is there so much noise when Hindu points out that the bulk of the terrorist acts in India were initiated by fanatical Muslims, even if they were just 20 % of the Muslim population? Don't confuse 'terrorism' and "Insurgency"--- there is a wide difference between ISI sponsored Terrorism through WOM and Maoist/ Naxalite or ULFA insurgency---though violence is the ultimate product of both. Why can not be face the truth?
Let us not go by this crap----TERRORISTS HAVE NO RELIGION--- This is a trash of Pakistan's excuse makers---who now also say after 26/11 that TERRORISTS WERE NON-STATE ACTORS. Firs,t they had no religion; now, they have no state also? Then, where do they come from? Do they fall from skies? What are those JIHAD FACTORIES of Pakistan doing? Why are Americans crying about Haqani Group in Afghanistan being supported by Pakistanis? What is the strategic asset of General Kayani's Pakistan? Let us accept the fact India too has ISLANDS of SUPPORT, amongst its Muslim Population to ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS of Pakistan. It is immaterial whether it was voluntary or through coercion of family ties. But this fact can not be denied by even pseudo-secularists. It may be 10-15 percent but if you look at the size of community some 160 millions---it works out to 1.6 to 2.4 million---which is a sizeable number to create havoc in India. It can further spread if NOT checked now. This is what Dr Swamy has conveyed---what is the devil in this? Watch this video by TIMES NOW on Indians like ARUN DHATI ROY being on the paypanel of ISI.
http://www.timesnow.tv/videoshow/4379408.cms
Whole world knows that 75% of terror attacks, everywhere, are the doings of ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS---No one is saying that all Muslims were Terrorists but international terrorism was conceived and delivered from the womb of ISI of Pakistan----Its objective is PAN -ISLAMIC world. Why are we running away from this fact? Dr Swamy highlighted this. As a counter to Dr Swamy's Article, there is an article by a teenager Aditi Ramakrishanan. She claims that she was 17 years old. I doubt if it was written by her---She must be doubling up for some one. I wonder as to what were her journalistic credentials for DNA to accept her article. She talked of issues, which at her age, she won't understand, even if she was a gold medalist or a topper.
There was another article by Seema Mustafa. The name must suggest to you her compulsion to harp about 'Congress brand of Secularism'. Britishers left in 1947 but their policies of 'divide and rule' was adopted by ruling clique and thus ' majority-minority' dividing lines were created to safeguard the votes. We are till date NOT freed from this mental slavery. And these two articles were manifestations of this psyche.
Does this teenager Aditi Rama Krishanan know what is ISI and Pan-Islamic ambition of ISI? Does she know about the resolution of POK by Indian Parliament-----Does she understand the meaning of KASHMIR, POK SHAMIL, BHARAT KA ATOOT ANG HAI ( Kashmir, POK included, is the integaral part of India) Did she mean the parliamentarians of yesteryears were fools? Forget the conspiracy theories of some friends to pass terror attacks as CIA or RAW doings. You know they are here to do some firefighting on behalf of the organisations who have created their identity and sustains them in such forums. Let me NOT go into details.
Therefore, I find the critiism of Dr Subramaniyam Swamy is primarily to divert attention from corruption charges against the RULING conglomeration under Sonia Gandhi----she is neck deep into problems because of Swamy----If UPA does not returns to power after next hustings, she would scoot out of India along with 'our Priya Rahul'. But that I don't think would happen because HINDUS are not only COWARDS are also FOOLISH--RSS has proved it to me-------they would vote her party back to power. Fact is most of the CRYING HINDUS like me won't vote, most of them would tag along with Sonia as Secularists and majority of them would sell their votes for TWO PIECES of CRUMBS-----Afterall poverty is rampant in India.
Government says those who earn Rs 11/ 17 ( rural /urban) daily are below poverty line (BPL) ----it also laid down that those who can not consume 2400 calories/day----SC questioned this logic-----But lot of logic of GOI you won't understand as of SECULARISM and reservation-----Still govt claims there were 400 Millions BPL---In actual fact if you double the rate it would be almost 7-800 millions under BPL out of 1210 millions-----And there are only 600-650 milion voters in India---you know what will happen when money bags from SWITZERLAND would open. HINDUISM you are rooted to be condemned in India for ever if your majority does not wake up. THROW OUT CONGRESS and CONGRESSMEN, LOCK STOCK AND BARREL ---this is the only solution ---All your problems of communal disharmony, corruption, violence, terrorism, economic imbalances, peace with neighbours would get resolved----what more there would be less danger to national security.

CIVILITIES,PRIVACY AND MORALITIES---WHAT?
Amazing---just amazing how people keep beating around the bush. It is a basic human tendency to advise others but not to follow the same advice. I have never understood this Indian trait of sermonising others at the drop of a hat. I might not be an exception, too.
Do we consider ourselves as 'gatekeepers of civilities and moralities'? In what capacity, do we advise others? You call a person idiotic, moron and wicked etc. and then talk of moralities? What made you call the guy 'immature'? Sure, you did---read yourself, O' exponent of virtues! Was it because he/she wrote something against a person you like? If you call him 'idiotic', do you think, he/she would take it lying down? What a hypocrisy?
Now someone is accusing people for using foul language---I never understood as to what was the true definition of 'foul language'? Is it according to individual interpretation or does it have a universal definition? Imagine this coming from the people, who are so accustomed to the use of FOUR LETTER word with ease and comfort twice, in a simple sentence they utter. I had heard one such 'Sulekhite', often hurling choicest of negative words at Mamta Bannerjee, not in the so distant a past. Today, the said person is lecturing others on the social norms. I say civilities begin at home.
Sometimes people talk about freedom of expression---but at the same time question others who express their opinion which perhaps is NOT to the liking of the person who question. Freedom of expression is a fearless outpouring against something one does not like. But it is ought to be kept within the permissible limits of accepted social norms. One can not throw indiginties at others. Slur is, of course, falling under abuse but merely doubting some one's intentions does not. If I say, why so and so person was behaving in a particular manner---I am just expressing my view NOT abusing him----even if I was wrong.
Individual whims and fancies have been cloaked as conversational civilities and moralities. Let us say, we all know that India of 2011 is badly affected by corruption, scams and scandals. Most of the people also think that a particular person was responsible for this. Obviously, the said person has to do something to wriggle out of this mess by doing something else. May be the person might enact a drama to gain sympathies and deflect attention away from corruption. This is what has happened in the case of Madam Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson of Congress and convener of UPA---the ruling combination of India.
We all know that CAG report has come down heavily on the ruling clique. The pages of secret deals are now opening up---naturally all pointers are towards Mrs Sonia Gandhi---the way she has corrupted the polity. She is recognised as the person who manipulated Mr "Q" to get away from India---She figures in all mega scams of 2010-11. Her stoned silence on Swiss bank money is sending the nation into tizzy spins.
In the meanwhile, a "controlled news" has now come of her dangerously serious ailment. Obviously people will get alerted on this "controlled informatio"n due to lack of transparency of the government and its dwindling credibility. Some might doubt of the disease. It is but natural---it is freedom of thought and expression-----why must you call the person "WICKED", who thinks she should have kept the nation informed? Heavens have not fallen, if he asked who would foot the bill of such an expensive treatment in a poor country with 500 millions or so not been able to earn even 11-17 rupees a day? This is the problem of Congresswallas--Not that BJP, Left and others are different----whole political class suffers from self-righteousness-----and anyone raising doubts on their conduct is wishfully explained as a conspiracy.
We must know the hazards of being a public figure-----they have their privileges and drawbacks----one such thing is LACK OF PRIVACY. There is NO privacy for such people. Lady Diana was constantly chased by paparazi till she died. All sort of stories appear in the print and electonic media about the public figures----therefore, they ought to take them in their own stride.I thought Madam Sonia Gandhi's ailment has fallen victim of a hush- hush manner in which it has been handled. It was mishandled by the Congress whose die-hard supporters are now crying on the questions being raised.
Now it has come out that her treatment has been organised by an Indian director of World Bank, PULOK CHATTERJI, and his assistant Mr Rupesh Dalal----and this director is supposedly taking over as Principal Secretary in PMO's office. Isn't it gross misude of office and height of slavery of government servants? Obviously, people would raise questions as to :-
----What is the disease? When was it detected----It might NOT have developed overnight? She is a leader of the ruling party---Nation ought to know the seriousness of the disease----there is NO---I repeat NO privacy clause can be enforced if public money is to be expended---
-----Who is paying for it?Is she paying from her pocket? Can she afford it as per her financial statements before CEC in various elections? If Government of India paying for it---who has sanctioned it?
------What is the total bill, if paid by govt? Why has the parliament not been taken into confidence? Dear all, she is a public servant and public figure---if President 's sanction is required to prosecute her for corruption----being a public servant then, she also must get parliament approval for her treatment outside the country
-----Why couldn't the Doctor---Indian Doctor, come to India?
------ Are their lack of facilities in India?
------Why such facilities can not be created in India?
-----Sonia Gandhi is an important link in the government-----why it has been kept a secret?
If above questions are to be answered, how can it be a private affair? why are people crying about it? What is so FOUL in these questions that you start howling about? What is so immoral about them?
If there is anything immoral, it is secrecy of this ailment----if anything wrong it is lack of transparency-----why has this time been fixed when CAG report was tabled in Parliament? There is a method in her strange actions----If you recollect the night when DELHI police raided RAMDEV at Ram Lila Ground-----she had boarded the private plane to Dubai the same night along with her son-----possibly for holidays to Switzerland. You see her own acts raise doubts. Did she run away from CAG report reaction of the people?
Let us not get blinded by uncalled for moralities-----Let us call a spade a spade-----Civilities begin at home---Kindly do not call others wicked because your "WICKED IDOL" is under the scanner.
Read this excerpt from an article in HUFFINGTON POST by Cleo Paskal, an associate fellow at Royal Institute of International studies-----
( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cleo-paskal/worlds-9-most-powerful-pe_b_853132.html)
"---------Sten Lindstrom, Sweden’s special prosecutor investigating the pay-offs associated with the sale of weapons by Bofors to the Government of India. His investigation showed that a close friend of Sonia’s, Ottavio Quattrocchi, has received kickbacks in the millions.
In 1998 Lindstrom gave an interview in which he said:
The Gandhis, particularly now Sonia, should explain how Quattrocchi-owned companies got such fat sums as payoffs from the Bofors deal. After all, what is the connection of Sonia and the Gandhi family to Quattrocchi? Who introduced Quattrocchi and his AE Services to Bofors?At least one thing is certainly known now. A part of the payoffs definitely went to Quattrocchi. [...] the papers all pointed to the Gandhi family.
Not only have the questions not been answered by Sonia, but in spite of substantial evidence against him, Quattrocchi has managed to evade prosecution in India, and has even had his kickback funds unfrozen from overseas accounts.---------------"
Why shouldn't people ask these questions now? Stop crying about her privacy---Days of "BECHARI SONIA" are over-----Here is what we must know-----
SONIA GANDHI AILMENT -----'RED SKIN PATCHES----CURABLE CANCER'---SAYS A RECENT REPORT'!
Madam Sonia Gandhi was recognised as the 9th most powerful person in the world as declared by Forbes 500 list of the year 2010. Suddenly this person is missing from the Parliament on August 01, 2011. Speculation begins, till Tehleka Dot Com, an online Magazine, squeaks about her serious ailment on August 04,2011. After utter confusion is created all over India, about their most powerful person, 'All India Congress Committee (AICC)' gives out a brief on August 05,2011. It said : Gandhi is abroad after being "diagnosed with a medical condition that requires surgery". Instead of clarifying, it further cluttered the public mind.
And the confusion continues due to the stocky silence maintained by Indian Media, while the internet is agog of the news of the description of her ailment. Do you see somekind of a conspiracy behind this deliberate confusion and Indian Media's stocky silence on the nature and type of Madam Sonia Gandhi's ailment? Contrast this with Man Mohan Singh's heart operation in UPA-1, when dailly medical bulletins were issued. Even when AB Vajpayee underwent knee operation, no secrecy was maintained. What was the necessity to go blank on Sonia Gandhi's ailment? Was it part of some kind of a starategy Have your own take. Here are some facts.
News has now filtered out that Madam Sonia Gandhi was suffering from red patches on the skin. This is a curable ailment and there is NO danger to her life. In fact , it never was. If the news about this ailment of 'red patches on the skin' is correct, then, this would have been known to the family for long. Even congressmen would have known. Why this information could not have been given out in a simple press release rather than cloaking in secrecy?
What was the need for this sudden disclosure in a dramatic manner? Was there some definite motive behind this sordid drama ? It seems so, if one looks at the way this information was handled in a hush-hush manner---through planted leaks in a web magazine called TEHLEKA DOT COM----who is basically a Congress trap door for opposition. It now tried to trap innocent Indians.
It is now a fair assumption that Sonia Gandhi's ailment was a drama being enacted to gain sympathy of the public to deflect attention from corruption charges. It has been reported that reddish patches of the skin are most common to Westerners when exposed to sun----Bill Clinton, former US President, suffered from it and he was cured---George Bush, both father son duo, Bill Clinton's predecessor and successor respectively, suffered from this and were cured. Sonia Gandhi too has that soft skin which is amenable to this ailment. There is NOTHING serious about it.
Let us first listen to the actual report on her ailment.
Listen to NEWS X. It reports : For all those praying for Sonia Gandhi's health ,we have good news. NewsX has learnt from highly reliable sources that the Congress President has a relatively benign kind of skin cancer for which she has undergone surgery at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in the US on Thursday. The cancer is curable and she is out of danger-------
Listen to the Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4x8Uu_G2Vc
Why did Congress Party allow people to speculate on this ailment? People went mad with wild imagination---from cervical Cancer to Intestinal cancer. There was no transparency about this. Was there a method in this madness of Congress party? Did it try to encash this sickness to create a sympathy wave? Such a doubt does come up. Just note it----
-----It was leaked through TEHLEKA . COM----a mouth piece of Congress----It was to create a drama.
------Watch the timings of the treatment:-
-----CAG report was tabled in Parliament.
-----Dr swamy's deadline for permission to prosecute her ended on July 15, 2001---though extended upto August 15 by him as he was at Harvard.
-----CJI of India Justiice Kapadia is likely to retire soon---He is after the SWISS BANK ACCOUNTS of all politicians----
As soon as the news of the seriousness of ailment got out, Congress men started their well-rehearsed drama----Janardan Poojary & co began POOJA in a Temple---Rest of them also their own prayer programmes. The name of a famous India- born Oncologist was let out to add veracity to the seriousness of the disease. Do we see a well planned move now backfiring?\
It is now obvious that she would be out of the country on this plea when the heat is on for corruption charges. Her location would remain undisclosed so that no one can question her when SC takes up corruption charges against her. In the mean while PC Chidambram, Kapil Sibbal and DigVijay would create noise and drum-beating about HOME MADE TERROR and involve Dr Swamy & CO in this. So the script of the drama is complete.
It is amazing that Dr NORI 's name was involved for treatment----deliberately to create the scare-----He was away holidaying in Iceland----Why would a cervix cancer / urology oncologist Dr. Nori would treat skin cancer? Is the Congress so naive that it does not know the power of media in the INFORMATION AGE.? Wasn't Nori's name used to create TEHLEKA in the minds of INDIAN PUBLIC? Isn't this lie being nailed?
Judge for yourself---

THE MAKING OF OSLO-KILLER!
Oslo-killing has thrown up many questions which needs to be realistically examined. The killer is Andres Breivik---a white Norwegian and a Christian. Eye-brows are being raised as to how a Christian could do this dastardly act? A large number of postmortems are under way by different experts, intelligentsia and intellectuals. Each one has one's own theory to explain as to why Andres Breivik did, what he did. Everyone is trying to get into his psyche to understand his act but no one is telling as to what had made Andres Breivik . The act of Andres Breivik is as unpardonable as any acts of 'Jihadi outfits’. There is a tendency to dismiss the likes of him as a 'maverick" or an 'insane' guy. Is he really so? Or is he the soldier of another ideology which is finding its feet against Islam?
By now, everyone knows the story of his troubled childhood, deficient of parental love and suspected connections with EDL-(English Defence League--an association of rowdy footballers!). A reference is also made to 1500 page web document he posted on the web before the incident. To put it simply, Oslo-killing is being explained as the work of a mad man---an insane, who is mentally not sound. Is that so?
The question arises as to what made Andres Breivik? Is it the fear of 'Islamisation' of the Western society and the lurking danger of its likely overwhelming of a liberalized and a free society by the diktats of Mullahs and Moulvis ? The fear is of the intolerant, regimented, inflexible, rigid and controlled tenets of Islam, which has been refereed to as 'Islamofascism'. This fear been called as 'Islamophobia'.
'Islamophobia' has given rise to a counter -ideology, which is referred to as “Cultural Conservatism". This counter ideology is nothing but an attempt to protect and secure Western culture being allegedly decimated due to liberalized western philosophy on 'Immigration', hitherto, defined as "Multiculturalism". It is no gains saying the fact that rise of 'Cultural Conservatism' is definitely promoting intolerance and hatred.
Let us put it this way: If the fear of loss of Islamic culture due to Western influence and 'globalization', aided by such thoughts as 'Pan-Islamic World View' of Islamic clergy, gave rise to " Jihadi Culture" and the rise of “Mullahs and Moulvis" in the Islamic world; similarly Islamophobia' has led to rise of "cultural conservatism" in the Western world, which is giving birth to guys like Andres Breivik----the "Jihadis" of the so called "Free World". You will notice there is a “cause-effect" phenomenon operating here.
Is this incident not a reflection of the ongoing conflict between “Pan Islamic World View” and rising head of “Cultural Conservatism” phenomenon in Europe, allegedly backed by many European Governments, such as France, Germany, Denmark etc? Is it the beginning of the 'Clash of Civilisations', as enunciated by P Huntington , an American thinker & strategist, now in full swing. Isn't this a 'War of ideologies'?
Years back, in 90-92 to be precise, when I conducted 'Operation Rhino' against ULFA (United Liberation Front of Assam) in Jorhat, I had a very interesting conversation with an ULFA ideologue, Rajan Chetia of Jorhat. Every one, including ULFA Leadership, was in awe of him. ULFA leadership, wanting to surrender asked me to first neutralize him. When he was nabbed, ULFA melted like a house of wax not only in my area but all over. We started the surrender process in Jorhat & Golaghat, which spread like wild fire all over Assam and led to creation of 'Surrendered ULFA' or SULFA, as a group, to counter ULFA.
When we apprehended him in February 1992, he held the appointment of 'General Editor' of Jorhat & Golaghat districts of Assam, something like a Political Commissar in the PLA of China. Our conversation pertained to future of ULFA due to neutralization of entire ULFA leadership by my unit in those two districts and initiation of Surrender process which had spread to all other parts of Assam. To say the least, ULFA was almost decimated and SULFA had sprung up. My conversation with Rajan Chetia ran like this:
Me: We have finished ULFA, Rajan Chetia. ( I had chided him to start the conversation because he was a die hard ULFA cadre---He was the one we had nabbed with great efforts just before suspension of Operation Rhino.. He was the master mind of abduction of UNGC officials in Jorhat)
Rajan: Sir, ideologies are never defeated by men but ideologies.
Me: Interesting Rajan. Please elaborate.
Rajan: Colonel, You might pat your back for what you have claimed to achieve---but it is not so. You might kill me but ULFA will not die----even if you eliminate Arbindo Rajkhowa and Paresh Barua, it will continue to live till you find a better ideology to defeat it. It is our ideology which has suffered a temporary setback (due to our faulty tactics and your brilliant strategy) but not finished. Sir, individuals do not matter.
Yes, he was right, I thought. To cut diamond, one needs a diamond. Therefore, to defeat an ideology, you need a 'counter- ideology'. Andres Breveik is a product of an ideology which is now engulfing not only western world but the whole world, too. The Oslo-act of Andres Breivik must be seen through the kaleidoscope of Islamophobia, which is to say:-
(a) He might have intended to kill the Palestinian students who were camping on the same island and whose camp rounded up two days before the shooting. He might have been misled or acted out of mistaken identity.
(b) His act was intended to send a warning signal to perceived inaction of 'Islamic Apologists" who continuously keep parroting such excuses as “Terrorists have No religion" or “Terrorists were Non-state actors".
Message of Andres Breivik is absolutely clear:-
(a) Religion is the mother of modern day terrorism.)Terrorists do have a religion----whether it is Islam or Christianity or whatever.
(b)Terrorists have “Patrons' , religious or political, who definitely have a 'state'.
Now the questions arise if Islamofascism and Islamophobia were real or just figment of imagination of some right wing thinkers of the west? It would be pertinent to know the feared tenets of Islam through eye-lens of an insider---the one who belongs to the said religion and how he sees it. Here are some relevant excerpts from the interview of Dr Syed Kamran Mirza, a noted Bangla Deshi thinker and the author of Roots of Islamic Terrorism and co-author of Beyond Jihad and Leaving Islam. He does say that the religion was rigid and regressive and does not allow any freedom and liberty to question its seventh century old tenets. ( Inferences are given in red. Full interview is at the link given below : http://archive.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTID=33591 )
A. I learned from Mullahs/seniors that Islam is the ultimate truth and the best religion in the whole world. The Qur’an is the infallible word of Allah, who loves only the religion Islam, and all other religions are simply false and bad; they all are “Kafirs” and destined to go to hell. ( He talks about the INVINCIBILITY & INFALLIBILITY OF ISLAM----which he was brainwashed with---which actually implies that NON-BELIEVERS should be punished-----in other words, KAFIRS are not the PRODUCT of their GOD-----So, GOD is NOT ONE---)
B. Also, I learned from the Maulanas and Mullahs that—someday the entire world will be converted to Islam, by the master plan of Allah. (Intolerance and negation of the principle of Peaceful-Co-existence-----Pan Islamic World View?) .
C. The Islamist and Mullahs told me: “it is the sacred duty for the Muslims to kill kafirs. Hindus are kafirs therefore it is our duty to kill them.” I asked him if it is written in the Qur’an or hadiths to kill Hindus. The Mullah replied: yes. (Repudiating the claim of apologists that Islam was peaceful).
D. These fanatic Mullahs used to capture young Bengali girls (Mainly Hindus and also Muslims) and supply them to those Pakistani soldiers as Islamic booty (sex slaves) for their service to protecting Islam. (Theme that Religioun was puratanical/ pious is a farce----May be applicable to all religions!)
E. I also found out that Qur’an is a book full of hatred, cruelties, unethical matters and most of all it has no divinity at all. I could not find anything that was impossible for mankind to think or say in the 7th century period. The Qur’an is replete with hateful, coercive and killing verses (examples: 5:51, 9:5, 3:85, 8:39, 9:29, 47:4, 2:191).(Explodes the myth that Islam does NOT spread Hatred or Violence----This is the proof)
F. My conclusion was that this book, the Qur’an, was man made -- as other holy books that predate Islam were; and I came to the realization that the Prophet Muhammad himself primarily created it for his self-serving ( No comments--self explanatory----I hold this view for all religions on the Man-Made Gods!----God is definitely a creation of Mullahs, Pundits, Priests, 'Granthis and so on----God is ONE SUPREME BEING----nameless--formless--invisible--non-incarnating---non-discriminating)
G. It is very important to understand that Muslims in general will mostly deny that any Muslims are ever involved in Islamic terrorism around the world. Muslims in general and pure Muslims in particular will spread some awkward conspiracy theories blaming America, Israel and India about Mumbai incident.(Denial mode is in built in Islamic believers )
H. Many of them may condemn terrorism, but they do not condemn any Islamic terrorists’ gang by name and identity and they will always smell some conspiracy theory and will outright disbelieve western media. (Cry for secularism is a farce----extra-national loyalty describe islamic followers!----Duality in the conduct is visible------ wherever Muslims are in Majority ---they treat others as second rate-----if they are in 'minority' they cry for 'secularism)
J. Islamic terrorists are continuously getting a silent “nod of consent” from millions of gullible Muslims and hypocritical Islamist. Devout Muslims, (especially in Arab nations, Pakistan and elsewhere) have two-faces: to the western media, they profess to oppose terrorism, while in private, they espouse Islamic jihad, which is Islamic terrorism. (Silence of Majority of Muslims is actually a tacit approval of Jihadi acts-----Islamic followers are more “hypocrites” than accepted.)
K. But the menace may continue to grow if the West follows the fruitless policy of appeasing the Muslims, disseminating patronizing statements like: “Terrorists are not real Muslims, Islam is a religion of peace, Terrorists are a radicalized or perverted interpretation of peaceful Islam etc.” Western appeasement will be dangerous and this foolish technique of appeasing Islamist will only embolden the fanatic zeal of Islamist. Please remember, Muslims do believe strongly that Allah is working behind their ulterior plan of converting the entire earth under the fold of Islam, they call it peace or surrender. (Islamophobia is born and rise of cultural conservatism!)
Having seen dimensions of 'Islamofascism' let us see the extent of 'Islamophobia' and what do the critics of Islamisation of Europe say?
Islamisation of Europe
----In 2010 Libyan leader Gaddafi visited Italy and announced that "Islam should become the religion of the whole of Europe." He also said that Europe's conversion would become a fait accompli "when Turkey becomes a member of the European Union." -------------Soeren Kern in his piece at : http://www.hudson-ny.org/1536/islam-religion-of-europe
-------We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe.This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. ----Alleges Geert Wilders, President of Freedom Party of the Netherlands .( http://www.geertwilders.nl/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1535)
---------A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe.San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhardt Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.----Alleges Geert Wilders, President of Freedom Party of the Netherlands.
---------And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France. One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. ----Alleges Geert Wilders, President of Freedom Party of the Netherland.
What is the Grouse against Islamic immigration?
--------They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. ----Alleges Geert Wilders, President of Freedom Party of the Netherland.
Islam- Not a religion but a Political Ideology.
--------Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion -----in its essence, Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life.Islam means 'submission'.Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is Sharia. ------Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party of Freedom, The Netherland, made in a speech at the Four Seasons, New York.
Demographic Upheaval
-------birth rates among native Europeans are far below replacement levels in most European countries. By contrast, Muslim immigrants in Europe are procreating at a breakneck pace, with birth rates that in many cases are double or triple those of native European populations. -----Soeren Keren.
We must note that the 'third highest community of immigrants' to Norway is from Pakistan-----Out of 4.9 million population of Norway, 12.4 % were immigrants. And Pakistan is perceived as the womb through which 'Islamic Terrorism and Pan -Islamic world View' have taken birth. These immigrants have extra national loyalty to Islam.
Everyone is skeptical of Pakistan and its military who is hand in gloves with terrorists outfits. They are using them as “strategic Assets” in Afghanistan and Kashmir. Sadly enough but it is truism that the West and USA have been the silent votary of Pakistan's transformation to a nation of Islamofascists.
It must be noted that Islam was no more seen as a religion but a political ideology. The controls and thought -regimentation by Mullahs/Moulvis, through 'Fatwas' against those who dare to question their anti-freedom edicts; Burqas for the women; Killing of KAFIRS (Non Believers); absolute superiority of Islamic God, have led to Islamophobia . In such a set up, freedom and liberty, the cutting edge of democracies, have no place.
The loyalty of the followers is more to this ideology than the nations they have settled in modern times. It is contended that the misplaced loyalty of these 'settlers' has led to the rise of 'Andres Breivik' in the West. This probably might be the cause of the rise of 'Pragya Thakurs' in India, too. 'Islamophobia' is not only real but it also threatens to make others extinct. You can not wish away this reality till Islam remains under the tight grip of Mullas and Moulvis. Anyone trying to break free of them is sidelined--like what happened to Vastanvi---ex VC of Darul Uloom of Deobandh.
