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.

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.
