Sri Lanka makes new push into Tiger territory: military

August 10, 2008 by pbtt

COLOMBO (AFP) — Sri Lankan troops launched a fresh advance into territory held by Tamil rebels Sunday, killing 15 guerrillas, while another 27 combatants were killed in other clashes, the defence ministry said.

The latest push was in the Jaffna peninsula, which is partly held by the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), the defence ministry said in a statement.

“Fifteen LTTE terrorists were killed when the army made a daring advance … this morning before first light (and) without sustaining any damage to (our) own troops,” the ministry said.

India needs a dramatic change like the French Revolution!

Now, India faces economic terror
10 Aug 2008, 0230 hrs IST, Pervez Iqbal Siddiqui ,TNN

LUCKNOW/NEW DELHI: As it reels under the mounting terror menace with the fundamentalist outfits bombing cities to kill and maim innocents, India may also be faced with a grim threat of economic subversion.

A spate of seizures of fake currency notes across Uttar Pradesh with the trail leading towards Nepal has confirmed the fears of what the authorities call ‘economic terror’.

While Indian agencies have for long been aware of ISI’s plan to bleed India economically, having been engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with the the plotters, the scale and sophistication of the operation has come as a shock to them. After the initial recovery of Rs 5 lakh from one Abid in Doomariaganj in UP, seizures have been reported from all over the state — Aligarh, Lucknow, Gonda and places neighbouring Bihar — leading the authorities to suspect that counterfeit currency adding up to Rs 40 crore may have been in circulation in Uttar Pradesh alone.

But what has stung security agencies this time is not only the quantum of the seizure but the fine printing and high quality currency paper that has been used to print the currency notes and strong evidence of collusion between banks and those working at ISI’s instance.

The serial numbers on the money lying in the State Bank of India chest in Doomariaganj were the same as that on the genuine notes kept there. “This explains that the gang members here would first confirm the serial number of the currency notes in the chest and then inform those printing the currency to put the same serial number on the FICN,” pointed out an officer of a central agency dealing in economic offences.

A worried UP government on Saturday handed over the probe to the Central Bureau of Investigation, putting aside its grievances against the agency for the moment.

While it may have acquired serious proportions, use of counterfeit money to attack India’s economy is not a new addition to the ISI inventory. Authorities have long had evidence that fake currency notes are printed at facilities set up for the purpose at Quetta in Baluchistan and Bangkok, with Aftab Batki, a known aide of ISI-protected Dawood Ibrahim, handling the operations in the Thai capital.

An official panel had estimated that fake Indian currency equalling Rs 1,69,000 crore has been put in circulation as part of the design to deal a blow to the Indian economy. While serious enough a threat by itself, fake currency is also being used by the terror groups to finance their anti-India activities.

The issue figured prominently in the meeting of state police chiefs and chief secretaries called here on Friday to review the security scenario in the aftermath of last month’s attacks on Ahmedabad and Bangalore.

The racket was busted with the arrest of one Abid of Sidharth Nagar after Rs 5 lakh in FICN was recovered from him. Abid named Sudhakar Tripathi, a cashier at SBI’s Dumariaganj branch, as his co-accused. Sudhakar was arrested after a total of Rs 7.2 lakh was seized from his residence out of which Rs 50,000 were in FICN.

On the basis of the details extracted by Sudhakar, STF requested the RBI to screen the currency notes available in the chest of the banks particularly in the districts bordering Nepal and some pockets of Western UP as well.

UP STF has confirmed that one of the two accused arrested in connection with the seizure, Abid, was in regular touch with his contacts in Nepal as well as Hong Kong apart from some other countries. “But calls to these two places were much more frequent than others,” confirmed a source in the STF who also said that arrested militants, during their interrogation, have frequently spoken of the use of fake currency by ISI.

Another important element of the racket is the money which the two arrested accused have pocketed while pumping in fake currency. “If the gang had actually pumped in the amount which is being estimated at Rs 40 crore, then the profits incurred thereon must be traced on the ground to establish that they were major players in the racket,” says a senior IPS officer.

The cops have so far seized fake currency from Shameem, Mehandi and Saleem in Aligarh. Another Rs 25 lakh in fake currency notes was found on Sohail of Gonda who was working with Sanjay Paswan, Vinod Kumar and Sanjay Patel of Bihar. Three persons — Momin, Anisuddin and Pramod — have been arrested in Aligarh.

Sleuths from the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) are now focussing on the assets of the arrested accused in order to trace the route of the money earned by them during the course of the racket which is believed to have been in place for at least over 1 year in Dumariaganj itself. The known assets of the two accused are estimated to be somewhere around Rs 10 lakh.

Sri Lankan Tamils arrested in TN

Sat, 09 Aug, 2008,03:19 PM

.

The State police, which has intensified its surveillance on Sri Lankan nationals , arrested six persons near Thirumangalam Friday night. Interrogations are on to figure out whether they had been supplying arms and ammunition to the banned terrorist organisation LTTE.

.

The names of the arrested were given as Selvam, Prathibam, Aruldas, Dinesh Kumar, Saal and Dhanushan. In the last few weeks, police arrested four LTTE men in connection with three cases. Following this, in an effort to initiate a crackdown on the LTTE militants trying to re-establish supply links in the State, police have been deployed for regular night patrolling. In one such patrol, police intercepted a speeding Tata Sumo in which eight persons were found travelling. Enquiries with them revealed that three of them - Selvam, Prathibam and Aruldas - belonged to a refugee camp at Kavangarai near Puzhal. And two others Dinesh Kumar and Saal were residing at Red Hills. They claimed that they took a car to pick up one of their friends Dhanushan from Vasantham colony, Thirumangalam. They said they were setting out on a jolly ride. However, asked about their purpose of stay in the city, they failed to give a convincing reply. Later, a search in the car yielded a new number plate. When enquired about it, they gave out contradictory answers and stated that the number plate was kept for renewal. Later the registration number was found to be belonging to another vehicle. Becoming increasingly suspicious, the police took the six persons into custody. Interrogations are now on to ascertain their alleged connection with the LTTE and how they managed to come out of the refugee camp during late nights. It may be noted that the State has more than 120 Sri Lankan nationals who are overstaying their visa period. On Tuesday night, police arrested two Sri Lankan youth, who were part of a procurement module of the banned outfit, and seized from them material used for making explosives on 6 August. They were Uma Ramanan (23) and Amalan (21) and recovered 1.5 kg of potassium nitrate powder, a solar light, a few spark plugs and wires were taken from their possession. The two were part of a procurement module of the LTTE and were nabbed from a rented house at Tirumangalam. The capture of the two was the latest in a series of arrests of LTTE cadres, including its procurement wing chief Thambianna alias Daniel, and Sri Lankan nationals besides local associates in the past few weeks in the State. A Sri Lankan Tamil refugee Selvakumar was arrested from suburban Keelkattalai area on 4 August on charges of trying to supply electronic gadgets to the LTTE. Police later recovered communication gadgets like two power units, and nine internet phone adaptors among other accessories from his room at Kelambakkam. Source: News Today

LORD AMARNATH WILL EXPOSE HYPOCRITIC AND SPINELESS HINDUS

Amarnath Shrine, situated in the Himalayan ranges at a height of about 13,000 feet, is one of the oldest pilgrim centers of the Hindus. Its importance and antiquity were well known even by the twelfth century since Kalhana’s Rajatarangini mentions it. Even after the Islamic conquest of northern India, this pilgrimage continued unabated due to the enthusiastic Hindus who have been visiting this place paying Jizya tax to Muslim rulers during most of the Islamic period in India. Kashmiri Hindus were eliminated totally by 15th century, initially by notorious Islamic preacher of Syed clan, followed by cruel and merciless conversion carried out during the rule of Sikandar and Ali Shah.

There is a traditional belief that the snow linga in the Amarnath cave gets formed every lunar month in the bright half and gets dissolved during the dark half. Visiting the cave temple on the Shravanapoornima Day (July-August) is considered extremely auspicious since, according to the mythological lore, Shiva appeared in this cave on this day. The Annual Amarnath Yatra, which draws four to five lakhs of devotees from all over the world, especially during the months of July-August every year when the snow linga appears in the cave, has been a thorn in the eyes of fanatic and fundamentalist Muslims from the very beginning. These separatists and terrorists have missed no opportunity to scare the pilgrims away. It is a different matter that these obscurantist forces always failed in their attempts to dissuade the faithful. Bomb blasts, grenade attacks, fatal firing and all other acts of disruption resulting in premature killing of scores of yatris did not shatter the faith of the Shivbhaktas. Environmental concerns were raised to influence the opinion and decision-making process with a single motive of restraining the number of pilgrims. State apparatus was used to cite lack of resources and inability to provide facilities for pilgrims even in case of natural calamities and bad weather. And after all these attempts failed the valley-based politicians have come together and joined hands to use transfer of land to Shree Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) and the august office of Governor as an excuse to malign the Yatra.

Muslim fundamentalists in the state are frightened by the increasing numbers of pilgrims who visit the cave for worship of the natural formation of the ice Shiva Linga. To accommodate the increasing numbers of pilgrims the Governor allowed the pilgrimage to go on for 60 days instead of the previous 15 days. The Governor’s action is seen as an attempt to destroy the Muslim character of the state. The Governor is alleged to have hatched a plot to settle outside Hindus in the State.

When the Jammu-Kashmir Government allotted 40 hectares of forest land to the Shree Amarnath Shrine Board to provide facilities for the lacks of pilgrims visiting the holy shrine every year, it was specified that the Shrine Board could use the land only for erecting temporary sheds to accommodate pilgrims, permanent structures could not be put up, and the land could not be sold or mortgaged by the Shrine Board. The People’s Democratic Front of Mufti Mohammad Syed, which was one of the partners in the ruling Congress alliance of Jammu-Kashmir, initially agreed to the transfer of the land to the Shrine Board. In fact, the Minister for Forests who passed the orders was from the same party. However, under the threat and coercion from Islamic fundamentalist forces and the main opposition party, Farook Abdullah’s National Conference, who have been opposing the transfer of land to the Shrine Board, the PDF also joined the fanatic Islamic forces and resigned from the ruling alliance protesting against the transfer. The ruling Congress under Gulam Nabi Azad promptly cancelled the order allotting the land. The Congress Party under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi, which is afraid of a fall of the Central Government and consequent general election to the Parliament, wants to leave no stone unturned to please the Islamic Fundamentalists to secure the Muslim vote bank.

It is in this context that the Vishwa Hindu Parishad issued a call for nationwide Bandh on July 3, 2008, to protest against the blatant outrage against the Hindu society by the JK Government, which cancelled the allotment of land to Amarnath Shrine Board under threat and coercion of Islamic terrorist and fundamentalists. Thousands of patriotic youth and self-respecting Hindus have taken to the streets recording their strong protest against the so-called ’secular’ Governments in the Centre and JK. The VHP has also given a call to observe the whole week as Amarnath Raksha Saptah to create awakening among the Hindus throughout the length and breadth of the country.

However, the most surprising and amazing fact is that the leading Hindu Dharmacharyas all over the country—whether they are Peethaadheeswars, Mandaleswars, Mahamandaleswars, Acharyas of the Shankara, Ramanuja and Madhva Sampradayas or heads of internationally renowned Mutts and Missions or leaders of different caste based religious cults and sampradayas—have all been silent on this issue and none has the courage or guts to come out and openly record protest over the actions of the secular politicians in the Centre and the States. No statement has so far come from these so-called Hindu Dharmacharyas condemning the brazen outrage against the Hindu society. Do these Dharmacharyas think that Lord Amarnath is all-powerful and He could solve Himself His problem and the problem of His devotees and He doesn’t require their support? Or it may that these hypocritic and spineless spiritual and religious leaders think that their first and foremost duty is to save themselves and their own institutions from the wrath of the secular politicians in power by not indulging in any act that will displease them. It is also a known fact that many of the so called Dharmacharayas are in the pay-rolls of politicians, including those who claim at the top of their voice that they are ’secular’, who come to these religious heads for blessings for victory in the elections and lavish their generosity in the hope that the money offered to these sadhus and sannyasins would bring votes and victory to them in the elections.

When the structure erected by Babar at Ayodhya to prevent Hindus from reclaiming and restoring the Rama Temple there was brought down by patriotic Hindu youth, the Mullahs and Moulvis all over the country came to the streets crying aloud that their ‘Masjid’ was demolished. The entire Muslim world stood by them. When some state governments brought legislations to prevent illegal conversion of poor and downtrodden Hindus by force or inducement by Christian Evangelical Organizations, the Bishops, Archbishops, Pastors and Nuns of all Christian institutions undertook nationwide protest and campaigns and the World Christian Council and international missionary organizations also protested vehemently. However, when the anti-Hindu forces are trying to destroy the age-old pilgrim centre of Amarnath, when atheistic forces try to demolish the Rama Sethu, when secular politicians hungering for Muslim minority votes want to prevent construction of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya, and when the Holy Ganga is polluted and destroyed by materialistic minded industrial institutions and factories on the banks of the river and by building dams which prevent the free flow of the water, our so called Holy Acharyas are the most unconcerned about these. The Portugese aggressors demolished the sacred shrine of Lord Kapaaleeswara on the seashore at Mylapore, Madras, and the Santhome Church was built at the place. Hindus have been demanding the restoration of the place to the Mylapore Kapaaleeswara temple. However, the atheistic Chief Minister of the State pricks with an arrow the burning wounds of the Hindus by declaring his open support to the production of a mega-film on the life of Saint Thomas, whose very existence has been questioned by historians and research scholars, and by supporting the efforts of the cunning Christian missionaries to project a story that St. Thomas met the great Tamil Saint, Tiruvalluvar, and converted the latter to Christianity. Here we have to recall the event that occurred a few years ago when one Iyer, claiming himself to be a Tamil scholar, extracted several lakhs of rupees from the Archbishop of Mylapore by promising the latter that he would prove that Tiruvalluvar was a Christian. Our so-called Hindu Dharmacharyas are the least concerned about these onslaughts on Hindu culture and spiritual heritage.

What about the majority of the Hindus in the country today? Though the country has attained independence six decades ago, the Hindus still consider themselves to be slaves of the Muslims and Christians who ruled over them for centuries and are prepared to renounce their rights and liberties to appease the Muslim and Christian minorities in the country. The Hindu politicians in the country are in the firm conviction that they are impotent eunuchs who cannot produce a national government of their own by standing united and that they have to helplessly depend on the minorities to come to power by fighting against their own brethren in the Hindu society. For getting votes of the minorities to keep themselves in power, these wretched Hindu politicians have no hesitation to give their ancient temples and religious centers to Muslims and Christians to build their mosques and churches. During the Muslim and Christian rules, temples in holy places like Ayodhya, Kashi, Mathura, Datta Peetha and Kapaleeshwara were destroyed. After Independence, thousands of Hindu temples all over the country, especially in Muslim and Christian dominated areas of the country, have been destroyed. Neither Hindu politicians nor Hindu Dharmacharyas are pained by these facts and is prepared to speak out against these atrocities.

Unfortunately today the educated Hindu youth in the country have been brought up in total ignorance of the glorious heritage of the country as well as its long history, and they are imparted an education that turns them into money earning machines and beasts enjoying creature comforts at the cost of human as well as spiritual values. The average Hindu youth is brainwashed to such an extent that he believes that his most ancient religion is a bundle of superstitions and meaningless rites and rituals. Valentines Day, cocktail parties and ballroom dances are more attractive to the Hindu youth than spiritual discourses and study of Hindu scriptures. A few exceptional Hindu youth, who by the grace of our forefathers whose blood still flows in their veins, have taken interest in our culture and heritage, but they are often misled by our bogus acharyas and religious leaders who make them believe that they need not bother about the nation or the society and it is enough if they shell out their hard earned money to prop up the institutions of these selfish and self-centred Acharyas in the guise of promoting Yoga and meditation. The youth are made to believe that it is enough if they come and sit at the feet of these traders of spirituality and they will be assured of reaching the feet of the Lord without undertaking the hazardous and long pilgrimages to the holy shrines of Amarnath, Kedarnath and Badrinath.

It is a matter of shame that none of our Dharmacharyas could issue a statement on the Amarnath issue while a French man, Francois Gautier, who is a lover of India and its hoary past, an ardent devotee of Sri Aurobindo, and a journalist and writer, who is also editor-in chief of La Revue de l’inde, has expressed the pain and agony in his heart, in the following words, in The New Indian Express :

“Reading in Paris about Kashmiri Muslims rioting because of land transferred to the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB) and the People’s Democratic Party pulling out of the Jammu and Kashmir Government coalition, one feels a little bit surprised. The Amarnath pilgrimage is an ancient tradition and after all, Kashmir, much before some of the inhabitants of the Valley were converted to Islam, is the seat of Shaivism, the place where thousands of yogis, sadhus, holy men, prayed, meditated and often attained realization, for at least 3,000 years.

“Millions of devotees have flocked to Amarnath over the centuries—and Muslims from Kashmir should show them generosity, because in India, although Muslims have been a minority since the beginning, Hindus have always respected the religion of Islam. Indeed, Muslims in India have had a freedom that Hindus or Christians do not enjoy in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan.

“Furthermore, Indian Muslims returning from the Gulf, have built, in the last 20 years, tens of thousands of mosques, thanks to the Gulf money, often with land donated by the Indian Government and without the Hindus ever protesting.

“Kashmir is also the land of Sufism, where the best of Islam and Vedanta blended, which allowed many generations of Kashmiri Hindus and Muslims to worship together in mosques and temples and attend each other’s festivals. Unfortunately, after the creation of Pakistan, a hard Sunni fundamentalism has entered the Valley mainly with Pakistan and Afghan jihadis, and four lakh Kashmiri Hindus have been forced by death, terror and violence, to flee the valley of their ancestors, one of the biggest ethnic cleansings in human history.”

Our Dharmacharyas do not have even an iota of the feeling, which the French national has expressed for our culture and heritage. Dr. Jagan Kaul of Diversity-USA has listed out the largesses that the Hindu society has offered to the Muslims in India through our national government:

“GOI provides air fare subsidy to about 140,000 Haj pilgrims - annually; The cost of it runs close to Rs.400 crores annually; Subsidy runs to about Rs.35, 000 per pilgrim; GOI allows every Muslim to transport 10 liters of holy zam zam water free of cost; There is a separate Haj cell in the Ministry of external affairs; Haj Committee of India has its own premises in Mumbai. Similarly such committees in each state have their own premises on land and building provided by governments; States in India have waqf boards. In fact Kashmir has a ministry dedicated to Muslim Affairs; Almost all of the activities and programs of the Indian Ambassador in Riyadh and Consul General in Jeddah are Haj related; Despite India proclaiming to be secular all Muslims are appointed to these posts. Accommodations in Mecca and Medina are provided and they are fitted with lifts, phones, running water, electricity and computers; In last year’s Haj a contingent of 115 doctors including 63 specialists. 141 nurses, 3 coordinators, 46 Haj Officers, 165 Haj Assistants and 186 Khadimul Hajaj were sent from India; Facilities provided by the Govt. include polio, meningitis and influenza vaccinations; 75 bed hospital and 12 dispensaries; another 15-bed hospital and 6 dispensaries in Medina, 3 medical teams at Jeddah airport; 17 ambulances in Mecca and Medina; All medical instruments, treatments, doctors’ services and medicines are free; At Delhi Air Port a special terminal is set up for easy and quick transit of the pilgrims.” He further asks: “Perhaps our outrageously petty minded and self righteous Muslim leaders of Kashmir will tell us what the only Muslim majority state in India does in return for the Hindu pilgrims in Kashmir?”

The VHP has given a call to Dharmacharyas to come out of their Ashrams and abodes and to travel to every nook and corner of the country, after the forthcoming Gurupoornima, to awaken the Hindu masses about the threats that are staring at their face. We have to wait and see how many real Dharmacharayas are there, who are willing to give up the cozy comforts of their ashrams and come to the streets to give leadership to the Hindus, and how many are there who are hesitant to incur the displeasure of their ’secular’ political bosses by openly supporting those who are branded as ‘radical Hindu extremists’ and hide behind their mask of ‘Sarva Dharma Samabhava’. In the Guru Geeta it is rightly said, “Guravo bahavah santi shishyavittaapahaarakah, Tamekam durlabham manye shishyahrittaapahaarakam”—”There are many Gurus who relieve their disciples of their money, but it is difficult to find a Guru who will relieve the anguish in the heart of his disciple.” (Guru Gita, 3.269). Here is the litmus test for our Guru clan today. Let us see how many of them will prove themselves to be worthy of the order of sannyasins and Gurus like Vidyaranya, Samarth Ramdas, Guru Gobind, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Rama Tirtha and Mahayogi Aurobindo for whom the country and the society are greater than heaven and salvation.

The solution to the present imbroglio in which Hindu society and nation are caught is not in a handful of Hindu tigers and lions who are still left in the society turning into ’suicide squads’ as someone advocates, but in their turning of them into real warriors of Hindu cause like Shivaji, Rana Pratap, Teg Bahadur, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekar Azad and Netaji Subhas who will raise their arms to protect the nation and Hindu Dharma, to fight, annihilate the evil forces and come out victorious in establishing Hindu Rashtra in this holy land. If fanatic and fundamentalist Christian militants, Islamic terrorists, and Russian and Chinese inspired Communist extremists can take this country to ransom, valiant Hindu militants can give a crushing blow to these forces by paying them in their own coin. Gandhism failed to emancipate this land from foreign rule, whereas Subhashism succeeded in creating revolt in the army, navy and air force and compel the British to leave this land.

Of course, in the pre-Independence days we had to fight against alien enemies who were ruling over us. However, today, we have to fight against the stooges of those alien enemies who have been left behind to continue the work of destruction of our nationalism and freedom and integrity of our nation. It is an unfortunate fact that these modern Kauravas have been bred in our own country and have emerged out of our own people, but patriotic people of this country, like the Pandavas, should take up arms against these Kauravas to reestablish Dharma on this land. When Arjuna hesitated to take up arms against his own Acharya and Pitamaha in the camp of the Adharmic Kauravas, Lord Krishna gave him a lash in the Gita sloka:

“Kutastwaa kashmalamidam vishame samupastitam, anaaryajushtham, aswargyam akeertikaram arjuna”—”

Wherefrom you got this delusion in this hour of crisis; this is unbecoming of an Arya (a noble son of Bharata), and this will deny heaven and bring disrepute also to you.

To the awakened Arjuna, He assured,

“hato waa praaapsyasi swargam, jitwaa waa bhokshyase maheem, Tasmaaduttishtha kaunteya yuddhaaya krita nischayah!”

—”If you are killed in this righteous battle, you are assured of heaven, and if you are victorious, you will rule the earth. Therefore get up and fight with determination!”

This is the message that is to be conveyed to the Hindu youth who will turn into real lion cubs.

Today, Hindu militarism alone can cleanse this nation of the evil forces left behind in this country, which corrode our national existence like cancerous germs. We sit before the TV watching films that depict heroes, who see the hypocrisy of people in power, the corruption and nepotism in the government machinery and the helplessness of the poor and downtrodden people, and raise their arms to annihilate the evil forces, take law into their own hands and finally put an end to Adharma, even at the cost of their own lives and that of their kith and kin. When we appreciate and admire such heroes in the films, we must earnestly pray for such living heroes to come up in the real life of the nation and society. That day, when we find such brave and courageous Hindu youth endowed with prowess on their shoulders and arms, will bring the salvation to our glorious Motherland, Bharatavarsha. Let us invoke Shri Bharata Bhavani to produce such valiant children in thousands very soon. Vande Mataram!

Why Does One Not See This Picture of Jammu Protestors

Now why do’nt you see this image on front pages of prominent Indian news websites. Either it is hidden in layers, or you see a tricolor-less picture showing a guy throwing stuff at policemen.

Bias !!!

Protestors of Baba Amarnath Sangharsha Samiti

Jammu (Rome) is burning!

Friday, 08 August, 2008 , 03:30 PM

There is an open public Hindu rebellion against the atrocities of Jammu and Kashmir government. Ever since the government land allotted for the use of pilgrims going to Amarnath Temple was cancelled

Hum jaan denge aur zameen lenge!Protestors of Shri Amarnath Sangharsha Samiti in Jammu

in a peremptory manner by Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad (private secretary to Sonia Gandhi in waiting!) just in order to appease the terrorist, anti-national and anti-Hindu Muslims of Kashmir, there has been a mass uprising of Hindus in Jammu.The anti-Hindu and anti-national action of J & K government has created conditions of Hindu rebellion and revolution in Jammu. The peace-loving Hindus of India in absolute majority (a fact not politically recognised by any political party in India) are solidly backing the Hindus of Jammu in their ‘non-violent’ struggle for getting back the land earlier allotted by the J & K government for the Amarnath pilgrims. I am presenting above a graphic picture showing the protestors of Shri Amarnath Sangharsha Samiti on the streets of Jammu. Now why don’t you see this image on front pages of prominent Indian news websites. Either it is hidden in layers, or you see a tricolor-less picture showing a guy throwing stuff at policemen. This is what I call the organised ‘criminal’ bias of the Sonia-Congress embracing pseudo-secular mafia of print and electronic mass media in India!

Thomas Jefferson said, ‘The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure’. I am reminded of this famous saying of Thomas Jefferson when I see the reports relating to the popular Hindu rebellion that has been going on in Jammu in recent weeks. Victor Hugo, the great French writer said, ‘Revolution is the lava of civilization’. If that be so, the Hindu rebellion against the tyrannical attitude of the J & K government can be viewed as the lava of Hindu civilization. In my view this sudden whirlpool of Hindu outburst of the hour and the moment should also be viewed as engulfing the suppressed growth of centuries!

Fiddling while burning

What we are witnessing in Jammu today is a mass patriotic uprising, quite unprecedented in our recent history. Perhaps it is something very much like a second Ayodhya wrapped in the Tricolour, outshining, both in letter and spirit, the 1952 Praja Parishad movement, which demanded one flag, one constitution and one head of the state. Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee came forward to give up his life for this sacred cause. In fact he died in the jail of Sheikh Abdullah, grandfather of Omar Abdullah who gave a beautiful Islamic message recently in Parliament which was soaked with ‘Islamic compassion’ to the peace-loving Hindus of India in absolute majority: ‘Hum Jaan Denge Par Zamin Nahi Denge’ (we will lay down our lives but won’t part with the land). The mass Hindu movement that has erupted in Jammu cannot be controlled by any political party or organisation. And of course it is beyond the control of the ‘anti-Hindu Islamic J & K government’ and the equally anti-Hindu ‘Sonia-strangulated’ UPA government in New Delhi. For the last three weeks, all the roads in every town in Jammu are wearing a dead blank look. All economic and social life has come to a standstill. We have a third grade Sonia-Congress servile page boy holding the post of Governor in Jammu and Kashmir and awaiting instructions every moment from No.10, Janpath in New Delhi. The Hindus of Jammu are out on the streets and crying out to him: ‘Shamelessness on stilts! Vicious anti-Hindu malice on stilts! Thy name is Vohra’. Grandfathers and grandmothers, husbands and wives, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters are marching together on the streets to get back the land for the Amarnath pilgrims. Their cries of ‘Har har Mahadev’ are renting the air! A callous J & K government under Governor’s rule and equally callous Union ‘overnment under an insipid and surrogate Prime Minister are watching this ugly and lurid drama in Jammu everyday.

I fully endorse the words of Tarun Vijay in this context: ‘And see what the de-Indianised intellectuals wrote on the front pages in Delhi’s newspapers: ‘All over a piece of land!’ Really? Then why are the Indian soldiers defending a barren piece of dead snow in Siachen? Or what’s that piece of cloth known as the Tricolor? Is it worth dying for?’ Such true patriotic feelings are wholly alien to the Islam-embracing and Hindu-hating J & K Government in Srinagar and UPA Government in New Delhi.

What are the simple facts relating to this legitimate mass agitation in Jammu? The Amarnath Shrine Board was created in 1996 based on the recommendation of the Nitish Sengupta Committee which itself was appointed by the J & K government and not Government of Pakistan! The Government accepted the recommendations of this Committee and decided to create a separate board called Amarnath Shrine Board on the model of the Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board and this was done through an Act passed by the government of Farooq Abdullah in 2000. This fact would clearly show that government had clearly understood that the facilities for the Amarnath Pilgrims were totally inadequate. The Secretary, Tourism Department, was appointed CEO of the board. Till 2003, nothing very much happened. It was only when Gen. SK Sinha took over as Governor in 2003 and hence became Chairman of the Shrine Board that the office of Amarnath Shrine Board was fully established with Arun Kumar, IAS, as its full-time CEO. Kumar did outstanding work by providing the Amarnath pilgrims with livable camping facilities. Earlier, concrete toilets were constructed year after year and this had helped the unscrupulous contractors to make as much money as they wanted every year. When government land for construction of facilities was allotted, the contractors felt threatened by the move and they have played a key role in fermenting a communal agitation against the allotment of land to the Amarnath pilgrims. And subsequently what has happened is well known to the whole world’. When the Islamic terrorists with the full connivance of J & K government (Gulam Nabi Azad [de jure] plus Sonia Gandhi [de facto] took the matter to the streets, it was not viewed as an act of obstruction by the Sonia-congress and other secular parties. Only when the Hindus of Jammu started an agitation to get back the land, the whole movement was viewed as communal blockade by these reprehensible, anti-national and anti-Hindu political parties. And of course the pseudo-secular mafia of mass media in India owing their total allegiance only to 10, Janpath and to no one else, have viewed the mass movement of Hindus in Jammu as a small and minor affray which should not be allowed to disturb the secular polity of Kashmir by deranging its communal harmony!

Hindus in Jammu are crying out : ‘You have died for our tomorrows’

The above picture shows a young man, named Kuldeep Kumar Dogra, who took his life in utter disgust on a street in a city in Jammu after reciting a patriotic poem before the hunger strikers in Jammu. Policemen in plainclothes forcibly took his body away and tried to burn it in his village in the dead of night without even informing his family. A monk saw them burning the pyre with country-made liquor and used car tyres and managed to alert the villagers. The policemen ran away seeing the protesters swelling in number. And none of the so-called champions of human rights raised a voice of protest against the inhuman atrocities of the police. Do these policemen belong to India or Pakistan or Bangladesh? I am giving below a few paras of the poem recited by the great martyr for Hindutva Kuldeep Kumar Dogra, a few minutes before his self-chosen death:

‘Bigul Baj Raha Hain Andolan Ka Gagan Goonjta Hain Naroon Sai’.

‘Mila Rahi Hain Aaj Jammu Ki Miti Nazar Sitaroon Sai’.

‘Ek Baat Kehni Hain Laikin Aaj Desh Key Piaroon Sai’.

‘Janta Sai, Loogoon Sai, Foojiyoon Ki Khadi Kataroon Sai’.

‘Sambal Kai Rehna Apnay Ghar Main Chupay Huyay Gadaroon Sai’.

‘Jhank Rahai Hain Apnay Dushman Apnay Hi Devaroon Sai’.

‘Sanbal Kai Rehna Apnay Ghar Mian Chupay Huyay Gadaroon Sai’.

‘Jago Tumko Dogron Ki Jagir Ki Raksha Karni Hain’.

‘Jago Tumko Lakhoon Ki Takdir Ki Raksha Karni Hain’.

‘Abi Jo Bani Hai Us Tasveer Ki Raksha Karni Hain’.

The message is ‘Be Alert! Be Careful about the traitors who are hiding in your house. These traitors are peeping like sly criminals through our own walls. Wake Up! Be Awake! You have to rise to protect the free hillock that has been given to you by the nation’.

Popular history says that the Roman Emperor NERO was a sadistic, psychotic tyrant who set fire to Rome and then sang and played the fiddle while it burned. The above picture on the left shows Nero playing the fiddle with gusto. The picture on the right shows Sonia and her Son Rahul Gandhi signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Communist Party of China. More than 800 million Hindus of India are clearly seeing the priorities of Sonia Gandhi and her Son today.

To conclude with a moving and evocative poem on the current tragedy of Jammu and Kashmir:

They talk about Jammu

and they are silent about Jammu

Those who talk about Jammu

disapprove of those

who are silent about Jammu

And those who are silent about Jammu

disapprove of those

who talk about Jammu

Talk about Jammu

is lost

in the silence about Jammu

And the silence about Jammu

is lost

in the talk about Jammu.

And time passes

in Jammu

and does not pass!

Shutdown in Kashmir, separatist leaders under house arrest

Authorities put several separatist leaders under house arrest on Friday even as a complete shutdown crippled life in Srinagar.

Senior separatist leaders, Syed Ali Shah Geelani, Mirwaiz Umer Farooq and Shabir Ahmad Shah were put under house arrest by the authorities to prevent their proposed march to the headquarters of the United Nations Military Observers Group (UNMOG) in this summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir.

The separatist leaders had announced their march to the headquarters of UNMOG to present a memorandum against the alleged economic blockade of the Kashmir valley and the harassment of the minority Muslim community in the Jammu region.

Another senior separatist leader and chairman of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation front (JKLF) Muhammad Yasin Malik is in the intensive care unit of Soura Medical Institute here after his condition deteriorated on Thursday morning. Doctors attending on him said his condition was now stable.

All markets, educational institutions, banks and public transport remained closed here on Friday. Attendance in government offices was thin because of the non-availability of public transport in the city.

The supply of mutton and poultry was also hit as the valley depends entirely on Rajasthan and Delhi for its mutton supply. The local production of sheep is too low to meet the requirement.

According to reports, life was totally thrown out of gear in the south Kashmir districts of Anantnag, Pulwama, Shopian and Kulgam because of the shutdown. But there was no report of any untoward incident till noon.

Markets also remained closed in north Kashmir districts of Baramulla, Bandipora, Kupwara and Ganderbal.

The shutdown which entered its fourth day Friday began following the death of a protesting youth in the Maisuma locality of the city Tuesday.

SIMI has terror links with Pakistan: Muslim body

IANS
Friday August 8 2008 19:44 IST

NEW DELHI: The All India Minority Front on Friday said it had evidence that the outlawed Students Islamic of Movement of India (SIMI) had links with terror outfits in Pakistan.

“We have evidence of SIMI’s links with Pakistani terror outfits and are ready to provide it to the central government provided we are assured security,” Front national president S.M. Asif told reporters here.

“We have spoken to various Muslim people who have proof in this regard but they fear for their lives,” Asif said.

“We want SIMI should be banned and punished. The minorities in the country are opposed to all sorts of militancy. Even then Muslims suffer whenever there is any terror attack in the country,” Asif said.

Attacking Railway Minister Lalu Prasad and Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav for demanding that the ban on SIMI be lifted, Asif said: “They are supporting the outfit only for political gains.”

Gujarat riots and the history of incessant Muslim Violence against Hindus

Amarnath Imbroglio Will Bury Islamist Tyranny In Kashmir

Can we allow descendants of Ghauri and Ghazni and followers of Genghis Khan and Osama Bin Laden pollute our environment and subvert our democratic way of life?

A US based Islamist wearing an academic cover has made a vicious attempt to mislead the American lawmakers so as to make a case to deny the travel documents to India’s most popular state Chief Minister namely Mr. Narendra Modi of Gujarat for visiting the US . This is despite the fact that Mr. Modi has categorically denied having made any attempts for seeking a Visa to undertake a US visit.

To further spread his venom against India’s national leaders he has called Mr. Modi an ‘Avtar of Hitler.’ The author of this cheap and untrue Islamic propaganda is Mr. Muqtedar Khan, Director ‘Islamic Studies, University of Delaware . In this enlightened age a member of thispredatory religion can not be allowed to get away with such slander and diatribe. (Attachment A)

As an honest person Mr. M. Khan should have told the people of this great democracy the truth about the fundamentals of Islam as propounded in the Sira and Hadith which stand for Darul Islam, Darul Ahad & Darul Harab given the numbers of Muslim population in different states. If Muslims are an absolute majority they are required to enforce Darul Islam where non-Muslims are kafirs, therefore, without equal rights. The so-called kafirs cannot practice their religions, pray, preach or display their gods as in Saudi Arabia . Where Muslims are in a hopeless minority they must live in Darul Ahad and must make a deal with the majority and make no demands; and finally when the Muslims are not in a hopeless minority they must conduct subversions and act against all human values to leverage their position in the polity and ultimately rulers and that is called Darul Harab.

1) Political Islam as practiced by almost all of the Muslim countries believes in jihad building and not in nation building. The mobilization of Muslims for a civilizational war and jihad will be relatively easy in Darul Islam. Mr. Khan has attempted to use his arsenal not only to achieve the goal of denying Mr. Modi the opportunity of visiting the US and educating the people about the Islamist conspiracy against Hindus but also to appease the titans of the UPA Govt. whose political energy is utilized in scheming to destabilize the popular and verystable Modi regime in Gujarat. But that’s not all - in his capacity as a member of the Islamic intellectual elite and a network Mr. Khan in his own devious and sinistrous way has in fact initiated a renewed civilizational war against Hindus and their leadership and at the same time delivered a message to the keepers of the sleeping Islamic cells in India to gear up for impending jihadi earthquakes and explosions.

2) As a matter of rule, the Islamist propaganda only highlights the public reaction against the extremist Muslims burning of Hindu pilgrims in a train in Gujarat . However, when the sufferings of Hindus as a result of the atrocities committed by the extremist Muslims in India are reviewed it becomes abundantly clear that these extremist Muslims actually are the cause and the culprits of these inhumanities.

To achieve and expand its goals, the expansionist and predatory Islam is universally known for distorting and misrepresenting the facts. Following this general rule Mr. Khan has groundlessly alleged and implicated Mr. Modi’s political party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in systematic killings of Muslims and burning of their homes and businesses, year after year. He conveniently suppresses the fact that a Muslim mob reportedly attacked and burnt a bogeyof a passenger train, in Godhra, Gujarat killing some 60 Hindu men, women and children returning from a pilgrimage. There was a spontaneous public backlash resulting in riots in Gujarat , and in spite of the immediate response by the authorities some Muslims and Hindus died in the rioting. Some died in the police firing which became necessary in order to control the situation. Instead of stating the facts in an unadulterated manner this Islamist has exaggerated the sad development by turning and twisting it with a view to blame the whole incident upon the Hindus.

Going by their incessant propaganda on Babri Masjid demolition and post Godhra riots the Islamists have attempted to paint a picture of injustice against the Muslims in Hindu India. This falsehood has caused multiple, including psychological, damage to Hindus. Truthfully Islamists must be reminded of the Islamic inhumanities, genocide, kidnappings, loots, arsons, rapes and atrocities committed by their sultans during the last thousand years against Hindus. Above all they must be reminded without mincing words that not even in one single Muslim country in the world do Hindus enjoy equal rights as the Muslims do in Hindu India.

3)A Broad summary of instances of atrocities and injustices inflicted upon Hindus by the Muslims:

a) Genocide of some 50- 100 million Hindus by some estimates during 700 years of cruel Islamic tyranny including Hindu Kush - the worst in the history of mankind, and demolition, vandalizing and looting of tens of thousands of temples and conversion to mosques;
b) They massacred some 20,000 people in Calcutta in August 1946 in three days to force Congress to accept partition against Mahatma Gandhi’s declaration of “Partition over my dead body”;

c) Massacre of millions Hindus and Sikhs during the partition in 1947;

d) Over three million, mostly Hindus were massacred in East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, and the exodus of some 9 million Bangladeshi Hindus to India as refugees in early 1970’s, when the Indian army had to intervene to rescue the populace;

e) These self styled Islamist victims have expelled, exterminated and ethnically cleansed the entire Hindu and Sikh populations from Kashmir region since 1989;

f) The recent incessant terrorist Jihadist attacks in various parts of India have cost hundreds of lives.

g) Forcible conversion of millions of Hindus into Islam. In fact 98 % of Muslims in India are a converted lot. A particular note should be taken of the fact that there was not a single Muslim in India prior to 711 AD.

h) Imposition of Jazzia (penalty tax) on Hindus for not becoming Muslims.

i) Thirty million Bangladeshi Muslims have illegally infiltrated in to India thereby stressing India’s economy, civil society and posing a security threat.

j) The ethnic cleansing of Hindus & Sikhs in Pakistan where they are now less than one percent reduced from over 23 percent at the time of partition and in Bangladesh where they are now about 8 percent from over 30 percent at the time of partition in 1947.

4) Relentless Acts of Islamic terrorism:

It may be recalled that after the terrorist attack on the Indian Parliament on December 13, 2002 there was a massive build up of Indian forces on Indo- Pakistan border that sent an unmistakable message to Pakistan and the Jihadists about the possible severe consequences. Unfortunately, under the UPA regime the terrorists have received a boost courtesy of the appeasement policy, religion based reservations and politically motivated Sachar commission’s recommendations. Even after the increased frequency of bombings in India , the Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh, has refused to activate POTA in the country.

Most recently on July 25-26, 2008 the attacks and bomb blasts in Bangalore and Ahmadabad , another in Jaipur in May 2008 killed hundreds and injured many hundreds of innocent men, women and children. Over the past years, major terrorist strikes have been engineered by Pakistan-backed Islamist groups in Delhi, Bangalore, Ayodhya, Mumbai, Varanasi, Hyderabad, Malegaon, Panipat (’Samjhauta Express’), Ajmer and Ludhiana, with lesser attacks at a number of other locations.

Earlier, the terrorist attacks on CPRF and in UP courts were a partof an ongoing series. India , a soft state, for the Islamic jihadists particularly under the current governance, had a renewed series of terrorist attacks on Friday, November 23, 2007 when bombs carried on bicycles ripped through courts in Lucknow , Faizabad and Varanasi and killed at least 14 people. This should be taken as the latest warning specifically that Bin Laden, Mullah Omar and Musharraf guided Islamic jihad will not let the Indian Govt. or its judiciary to function against the wishes of the fundamentalist crusaders.

Jihadist terrorist attacks on Hindus and their temples continue in the country. The temples such as Raghunath, Akshardham, etc were specially targeted. In fact Varanasi , the most revered holy city of Hindus , bore the brunt of Islamist terrorist attacks twice. On March 7, 2006, at least 21 Hindus were killed and scores injured in bombings at Sankat Mochan temple and the railway station in Varanasi . Before that, terrorists had made an abortive bid to attack the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya. In Kashmir alone hundreds of temples were looted, desecrated, burnt, destroyed and some of them turned into mosques. The latest crisis on Amarnath land issue is also the continuation of the same anti-Hindu crusade.

5) In J&K State Hindu Institutions are being destroyed at an unprecedented Scale:

Muslim protests led by the PDP to deny 100 acres of barren land for setting up temporary shelters for Hindu pilgrims transiting to Amarnath shrine during summer months is a recent example of the Taliban like intolerance demonstrated by the Muslim majority Govt. in Kashmir.

The process of desecration, loot, vandalizing and destruction of temples has continued in J&K under the anti-Hindu Islamic rule through generations with intent to wipe out all traces of religious and cultural symbols of Hindus. These targets, besides the temples, included libraries, schools, universities and ashrams. After the country became free and Kashmir acceded to the Union of India in 1947, the destruction and desecration of temples under the new Islamic regimes wearing secular turbans received added impetus and acceleration.

Temple lands, cremation grounds and other such entities belonging to Hindus were usurped and utilized for expansion of the Islamic populace. The famous Bhairavnath temple of Chattabal , Srinagar was locked up by the police. The judicial case pending in court concerning this temple was never allowed to be decided. Precious lands around Hari Parbat hill, Durganag temple of Srinagar and lands at several Hindu places of worship in the Valley were slowly and steadily turned into lands under the occupation of the Muslim trusts (Maqboozai-Ahali- Islam).

6) The law and order situation in Kashmir since 1986 deteriorated progressively and temple desecration became the order of the day.
The Islamic fundamentalist conspiracy against Hindus received unqualified support from the Pan Islamic Movement and from across the border. Here are some of the glaring examples that defy and shred into a million pieces the tall claims made by the Muslim leaders of Kashmir about their dedication and adherence to nationalism, multiculturalism, secularism, Kashmiriyat and religious freedom.

In 1967, Shivala temple, Chotta Nazar, Srinagar was desecrated. Again in 1984 Shri Hanuman temple at Hari Singh High Street was damaged and in the same year Arya Samaj temple of Wazir Bagh , Srinagar was burnt down.

7) Temples desecrated, damaged and/or shut down in Kashmir from 1990 to December 1992

1. DASHNAMI AKHARA, SRINAGAR
2. GANPATYAR TEMPLE
3. RAGHUNATH MANDIR, SRINAGAR
4. SHIVA TEMPLE , JAWAHAR NAGAR, SRINAGAR
5. HANUMAN MANDIR, SRINAGAR
6. SHIVA TEMPLE , BARBAR SHAH, SRINAGAR
7. JAI DEVI TEMPLE , BIJBEHARA
8. VIJESHWAR TEMPLE , BIJBEHARA
9. SHIVA MANDIR, BIJBEHARA
10. RAGHUNATH TEMPLE , ANANTNAG
11. GAUTAM NAG TEMPLE , ANANTNAG
12. THREE TEMPLES OF LUKHBHAVAN, LARKIPURA, ANANTNAG
13. WANPOH MANDIR, ANANTNAG
14. SHAILPUTRI TEMPLE , BARAMULLA
15. DAYALGAM MANDIR, ANANTNAG
16. BHAIRAVANATH MANDIR, BARAMULLA
17. BHAIRAVANATH MANDIR, SOPORE
18. RUPABHAVANI MANDIR, VASAKURA
19. KHIRBHAVANI MANDIR, GANDERBAL
20. SHIVA TEMPLE , GANDERBAL
21. MATTAN TEMPLE , ANANTNAG

There have been reports of further destruction of some 39 temples in Kashmir after December 6, 1992 for which FIR were filed. Please note that FIRs on all destruction cases were not filed with the authorities in view of the complicity of the administration and warnings of retaliation against the complainants by the Islamic terrorists.

These examples represent only a fraction of the systematic mass destruction of thousands of temples in J&K after independence of India when the Islamists assumed the total and unfettered control of the state. But now the Amarnath imbroglio is bound to bury the Govt. promoted Islamist tyranny in Kashmir .

8 ) The facilities for Haj pilgrimage by Hindu India are unmatched - not even the Islamic countries provide such patronage:

India provides an airfare subsidy to more than 100,000 pilgrims selected by the Haj Committee of India who go for Haj annually. According to official figures, this subsidy was Rs 280 crores in 2006 or about Rs 28,000 per pilgrim. Today, with rising fuel prices, this figure would have gone up to Rs 350-400 crores.

For the convenience of pilgrims, charter flights are operated directly from 16 airports in India to Saudi Arabia . Returning pilgrims can transport 10 liters of holy Zam Zam water with them free of cost. At Delhi airport there is a separate Haj terminal. To improve the comfort of pilgrims, Air India has been advised to use wide-body jets in future for their Haj flights.

There is a separate Haj cell in the ministry of external affairs. The Haj Committee of India has its own premises in Mumbai. Similarly the State Haj Committees have their own premises in various other Indian cities. These facilities have been built on land provided by the state governments. Yet the Muslims and their Kashmir government denied a mere 100 acres of forest land for building temporary shelter for Amarnath bound Pilgrims!

For the Muslims however, the Govt. provided accommodation in Mecca and Medina is decided keeping in mind the need to provide maximum convenience and comfort to the pilgrims. Typically, all accommodation has lifts, telephones, running water, electricity and telephone at the minimum. There is total computerization of pilgrim location and movement. During Haj, a large contingent of seasonal local staff, supervisors, data entry operators, as well as drivers and messengers (whose job is to round up and bring home safely elderly pilgrims who may have got lost) is appointed by the consulate general of India , Jeddah, during the Haj period.

For Haj 2007, a contingent of 115 doctors (including 63 specialists with post-graduate degrees) and 141 nurses and other para-medical staff, 3 coordinators, 46 assistant Haj officers, 165 Haj assistants and 186 Khadimul Hujjaj were sent from India on short-term deputation to Saudi Arabia. Special attention is given to medical facilities for the pilgrims.

It is not the Central Govt. alone that has been lavishly spending Hindu taxpayer’s money on Haj subsidy — almost all State Governments have set up Haj houses. In fact, the State Governments across the country spend roughly about Rs 1,000 crore annually for the Haj pilgrims. The government in Delhi is constructing a six storey Haj house at a cost of Rs. 30 crores.

9) Preferential treatment of Muslims by Govt. is unconstitutional:

The official commitment for Aurangzebish, unconstitutional and privileged treatment to the Muslims by Govt. in enforcing the politically motivated Sachar Report, Prime Minister’s commitment for first preference to Muslims, his 15 point plan for the Muslims; and enforcing a communal quota system in employment and even at the topmost technical and management institutions - not practicedby any other country is absolutely baffling. Such naked discriminatory policies have the potential of leading the country towards a new dismemberment. The uncalled for and unconstitutional largesse amounts to open bribery and class war, initiated by Congress, for clinging to power.

10) Exaggerated and false Islamic propaganda on Gujarat riots must be exposed:

As stated earlier the Gujarat riots so widely publicized were a spontaneous reaction against the burning of some 60 Hindu pilgrims in a train at Godhra, Gujarat . The highly exaggerated reports about these riots by anti-Indians and Islamists, foreign owned Indian media and their sponsors, hide the fact that the Muslims themselves were the cause and the culprits of this upheaval. There is a concerted effort to defame Hindus and their leaders with the sole aim of Islamizing India and establishing a Darul Islam. How can we ever forget the fact that India was partitioned on the basis of religion, as the Muslim leaders proclaimed that they were a separate nation and therefore, were unable to live with Hindus in a single country? They demanded a country of their own and the British masters readily obliged them.

Mr. Khan and his brand of Islamic society need to do some introspection on their own past violent crusades against Hindus. Using Mr. Khan’s language of calling Shri Modi and his party “self styled Hitler and fascists, etc” is rather ironic. By the same token the way Mr. Khan has unleashed his anti-Modi tirade rooted in Islamist thinking, he too could be called “Mr. Goebbels” of terrorists’ Goebbels being Hitler’s propaganda man. The spate of terrorism in Bangalore and Ahmedabad in India on July 25-26 and the Amarnath Land imbroglio could possibly have been incited by people like him and his recent provocative articles and utterances.

Perhaps US Homeland security should take a note and look into any possible links between his outfit and the terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda, Taliban, and Mujahideen etc. For Mr. Khan’s satisfaction the most popular Chief Minister of a progressive Indian state has much to do at home for renovating people’s lives including that of the Muslim citizenry of Gujarat . Unlike some self styled leaders he does not need to visit foreign countries with a view to strengthening his political base at home.

11) Mr. Khan and the people of his politico-religious persuasion must realize that by now the curtain has been lifted:

The global community understands their inability and incapacity to coexist with members of other religious formations. The hard core Muslims like him believe that they must live by the Islamic trilogy consisting of the Koran, Hadith and Sira, which are considered to constitute the complete way of life for them. Tragically such a way of life is in direct conflict with democracy and freedom to practice one’s religion therefore, the prospects of coexistence in harmony with other religionists is rather unthinkable.
Under these circumstances unless Islam is tamed and/or reformed the continuation of civilizational war would remain a reality. With more than a billion free people of India , exercising freedom in every walk of their lives, unlike in most of the Islamic countries, the ’siege of India’ as envisaged by Mr. Khan’s Islamists has absolutely no prospect of succeeding. The freedom- loving Indians like Mr. Modi will not sacrifice their liberties and way of life for any amount of petro-dollars and out dated regressive religious philosophy which promises nothing but ideological slavery. Indian people did not accept the slavery of the British imperialism and tyranny of the Muslims sultans and there is no way in hell they will accept the slavery of the fundamentalist wahabies. On the other hand the day is not far away when not only in India but all over the world ‘jihad’ will be outlawed as a crime against humanity thus putting terrorists, Islamists and fundamentalists out of business.

Lesson from Jammu!

Editorial in News Today from Chennai Mon, 04 Aug, 2008,04:02 PM

.

Last month the Congress led government of J & K made the monumental blunder of taking back the 40 hectares of land allotted to Amarnath Shrine Board for facilitating the stay and journey of devotees during the pilgrimage period of a month and a half.

.

The government, which became a minority due to the withdrawal of support by the PDP over the allotment of the land to the shrine board, yielded to the violent protests made by Muslims and the pressure exerted by the Hurriyat-NC-PDP combo. As it couldn’t win back the support of PDP even after the withdrawal of the land allotment, the Chief Minister resigned and the state came under President’s rule. Since then the Hindus of Jammu have been fighting against the injustice meted out to them. The protests have been going on non-stop for the last 33 days and the Governor N.N.Vohra, who has been handpicked by the centre obviously to take care of its agenda of Muslim appeasement, has been playing fiddle sitting at Rajbhavan. The former Chief Minister Gulam Nabi Azad, who had a good working relationship with the former Governor S.K.Sinha, has rightly questioned the bonafides of the PDP, which has joined hands with militant and pro-Pakisthan elements. The Congress High Command, which made a scapegoat out of its own Chief Minister, has just not bothered to listen to the genuine concerns of the Hindu majority from Jammu. The National Conference, which has been the real cause of the pain in the valley for the last six decades, has remained silent as it did during the ethnic cleansing of the Pandits from Kashmir. The Hindus, who have been living peacefully for ages in the ‘Seat of Shivism’, have been at the receiving end for more than sixty years, since the time of the accession of the Hindu Kingdom by independent India. They have been driven out of the valley; they have lost millions of their beloved brothers, sisters and children; they have lost all their properties; the Temples of their revered Gods and Goddesses have been destroyed and they have been living like refugees in their own country for the last two decades. Having received only injustice and nothing else for the past many years, the anger and hatred, which has been simmering, has burst out when the latest dose of injustice was meted out to them last month. The community, which was branded as ‘tolerant’ and was being taken for a ride, seems to have decided enough is enough, as evidenced by the ongoing agitations. Jammu has been under curfew, which is being extended to other places wherever the protests have been spreading. The Sangarsh Samithi has extended the bandh further and the normal life has been terribly affected for the last 34 days. The police force had to resort to firing to quell the agitations and a few men have lost their lives. In spite of that, the Hindus of Jammu seem to be determined to fight for justice till the end. As the local police was found wanting, Army has been brought in to take stock of the situation and control it. But, the Hindus of Jammu are in no mood to relent. The issue of allotment of land and the consequent withdrawal has totally exposed the Congress and the Kashmir based parties. It has proved yet again that the Congress’s main manifesto is pandering to Muslims. It has also exposed its high command’s hidden agenda of serving the interests of minorities at the cost of the majority community’s causes. The dubious credentials of PDP, Muftis, NC and Abdullas have also been thoroughly exposed to the level that they are now seen as anti-India and Pro-Pakistan. While the earlier protests by the Muslims against the land allotment was against the Hindus and was aimed at injustice, the Hindus of Jammu are protesting for justice and not aimed at Muslims. As the Hindus in the Congress have also joined the protests, the party seems to be realisng that the ground is giving way under its feet, as evidenced by the brazen act of Sonia approaching Rajnath Singh seeking help to solve the issue. But Rajnath has rightly pointed out that the state is under President’s rule and the onus lies on the central government. He has also been forthright in telling the government to return the land, which was allotted to the Shrine Board and withdrawn later. The Hindus of Jammu have indeed taught a lesson not only to the Muslims of the valley but also to the Hindus of the rest of the country. It is a severe warning and the earlier the politicians understand, the better!
