The Indian media, captured by the Leftist liberals, has always
infuriated the minorities in general, and Muslims in particular in India, by
claiming of ‘injustice’ , ‘discrimination’ and ‘atrocities’. This media
rationalizes even acts of terrorism on grounds of some ‘provocation’ like
demolition of Babri Masjid in December 1992 in Ayodhya on a very sacred Hindu
site (ignoring hundreds of temples demolished before and after that).
There were hundreds of temples demolished in Pakistan and Bangladesh
after that. This article gives just an indication of what happened in Pakistan
in just 1 day after Babri demolition. A lot more happened after that also.
There were bomb blasts carried out by Islamic radicals in August 1993, the RSS office in Chennai was bombed, and bomb blasts were made in trains one year later in December 1993.

The Hindu %age in India has been constantly reducing right since the first census in 1881, during British times. The Hindu population in divided India has already reduced from 85 % in 1951 to 79.8% in 2011. In United India the Hindu population was 79% in 1881, down to 73% at the time of Partition in 1947, and is now 62% in 2011. The Muslim population has risen from 19% in 1881 to 24% at the time of Partition and is 36% now in United India, i.e. in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh together. Hindus have seen a near-total disappearance in Pakistan- down from almost 20% (not including Sikhs) in 1947 to around 1 or 2 % now , and in East Pakistan i.e. Bangladesh from 34% in 1901 to 29% in 1947, to 8.6% in 2011.

Hindus have reduced from 69% in Kerala in
1901 to 54% in 2011, a whopping 15% decline in a mere 110 years. And this is
official. In actual, there are many people who have converted to Christianity
but remain Hindus officially to get reservation benefits. The Hindus are
already in minority in reality in Kerala, and even officially, are barely 54%
or so. It is only a matter of time before this happens all over India. In say,
places like Kandhamahal district of Odisha, the Christian population has grown
from 4% in 1951 officially to more than 18% in 2001 officially, and actually
much more.
In many parts of Tamil Nadu and
Andhra Pradesh, the Christian %age has increased rapidly (e.g. in Kanyakumari
district of Tamil Nadu, the Christians are now 45%) thanks to massive conversion done by the missionaries in the past few
decades. West Bengal is officially more than 27% Muslim, and there are lakhs of illegal Bangladeshi infiltrators who have settled in the state, making the Muslim population even higher. Violent attacks on Hindus and even Police are now regularly seen in West Bengal, particularly in areas where the Muslims are more concentrated, and are in a majori
In India, the Hindu % is continuously reducing, right since
the first census in 1881, Hindus have already become a minority in Kerala and
yet there is no expression of any concern. Within 200 years, Hindus will
be a minority in divided India (and within 2050 in United India) and within 50
years after that, disappear into extinction. Even a noted secularist Madhu Limaye said the same, though he gave 300 years for this situation to come, but
it will come much sooner, in only 200 years at least for divided India, and
within 50 years for United India.
Look at Myanmar- what
it did to safeguard its religion, it passed a law having birth control for
Muslims (Not more than 2 children) and also a law whereby non-Muslim women
marrying Muslims would need to register their marriage. But in India, Muslims
are allowed to marry 4 times while Hindus only once, a suicidal Dodo-type
policy. For this benefit of marrying more than once, many Hindus convert to
Islam.
And yet, the sub-text of all 'secularist' commentary is the same, the
same as it has been for the past 100 years- it is condemning the Hindu
community, demonizing the Hindus, expressing concern about 'Hindu communalism'
and condemning BJP and the Sangh Parivar whereas in reality the Hindus are
becoming a minority, are on the way to extinction, have already become extinct
for all practical purposes in Pakistan, Kashmir and will soon be in Bangladesh.
In one previous article, we had seen the killings of members of the
Hindu organizations only at the hands of Islamic/Christian/Communist radicals,
not even the killings of ordinary Hindus. Now in this article, let us see the
great whitewash over the atrocities on Hindus done by fanatic Muslims,
Christian radicals and Communist militants carried out by the Leftist inclined
Indian media.
There has been a similar great whitewash over the atrocities committed on Hindus in medieval times by fanatic Muslims. The number of Hindus killed in
medieval times was at least 80 million, and may well have been 400 million
(Swami Vivekananda said that the number of Hindus killed was more than 400
million, since the Hindu population in the 12th century was 600
million as quoted by early Muslim historian Ferishta and at his time in 1899 it
was only 200 million- Complete Works,
Vol. 5, page 233) to 590 million. We will not even look at those killings,
since they are out of place here, but merely cite them to show the same
tendency of Leftists to whitewash fanaticism of Muslims against others, be it
in modern times, or in medieval times.
Apologists of Islamic radicals like Kamal Mitra Chenoy always indulge in
infuriation of the Muslims and Christians by claiming that the BJP Government
at the Centre is discriminating, or is unable to prevent atrocities on them,
and also indulge in false defamation of the BJP. He has mentioned the 2002
Gujarat riots as if only the Muslims were killed, whitewashing the crimes of
fanatic Muslims of killing Hindus even after Godhra, and of course totally
ignored the Godhra tragedy where 2000 fanatic Muslims roasted to coal 59 Hindus, including 25 women and 15 children in an unprovoked, well-planned
attack.
The Hindus have many resentments and grievances in India, apart from direct killings of them by fanatic Muslims and Communists. First let us see some of them. These are just a few (Very few) of them. A full list will need an encyclopedia.
The Hindus have many resentments and grievances in India, apart from direct killings of them by fanatic Muslims and Communists. First let us see some of them. These are just a few (Very few) of them. A full list will need an encyclopedia.
1- DMK-Congress government in Tamil Nadu (2006-2011) gave a scheme only for
non-Hindus.Centrally-sponsored
pre-matriculation scholarship for school students in Tamil Nadu was only for non-Hindus i.e. Muslims, Christians and other groups, but not to Hindus. There were poor students in all communities including Hindus. But these scholarships were denied to the Hindus only.
2- The then Prime Minister of India, Dr Manmohan Singh said in 2006 on Sonia Gandhi's birthday 9 December:
"Minorities particularly Muslims have first claim on national
resources". This is a blatant discrimination against the Hindus and reducing Hindus to second class citizens in India. Why should a Hindu be denied any opportunity or national resource simply because he is a Hindu?
3- Article 30 of India's Constitution gives the right to establish &
manage educational institutes with government aid only to minorities and not to the Hindus. This privilege led to the Ramakrishna Mission claiming non-Hindu status in 1984.
Imagine a situation in a country where the majority wants to become a minority, in light of the privileges and concessions to minorities and discrimination against the majority community!
Article 30 is blatant discrimination against the Hindu community by the Indian state. Read the below article to know in detail.
4- In 2008 only Muslim students got fee waiver
in Andhra Pradesh under a YSR scheme, i.e. when YS Rajashekhar Reddy was the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. Should poor Hindus have converted to get this
benefit?
The decision taken by the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, YS
Rajashekhar Reddy, on waiving the fee of Muslim students in graduate
courses such as Engineering, Medical and law is extremely dangerous. This decision is a typical example of how Hindus have been reduced to
second-class citizens in their own country and of appeasement of
minorities. Such a move may also result in conversions of people from
Hinduism to Islam to get the benefit of fee-waiver.
Students in college can see that their fellow colleagues do not have to pay fees no matter what their financial position while they have to pay the full fees, simply because the other pupil is a Muslim. The fee-waiver scheme should be on the basis of economic and not religious criteria. One of my own friends in a city outside Andhra Pradesh wanted to do Engineering but could not do so owing to economic problems. If he was living in Andhra Pradesh, should he have converted to Islam to get fee-waiver and do his Engineering?

5- India tolerated such laws like polygamy for Muslims
which encouraged conversion to Islam. This is called overtolerance and discrimination on the Hindus. Muslim men are legally allowed to have 4 wives, while Hindu men can have only 1 wife. To marry more than once, many Hindus convert to Islam, e.g. former Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Chandra Mohan who married Anuradha Bali (Fiza). Both Chandra Mohan and his wife, both originally Hindus, converted to Islam solely to marry again.
India allowed polygamy to only Muslims. This played a part in the percentage of Hindus reducing in India, from 84%+ in 1951 to 79.8% in 2011.
6- When India's GDP grew at a low rate of 2 to 3 percent, anti-Hindu Nehruvians in India called it as the 'Hindu rate of growth' taunting and insulting the Hindu community. In reality it was Nehruvian growth rate. Tolerating low GDP rate being called
'Hindu rate of growth' is overtolerance! Imagine that low GDP growth rate being called 'Muslim rate of
growth'!
7- DMK chief Karunanidhi had said in 2002 that Hindu
Gods should leave Tamil Nadu if they can't understand prayers said in Tamil, and want prayers to be offered in Sanskrit. Hindus tolerated this, and his many other anti-Hindu, anti-Ram utterances. Of course, he was asked if he would say that Muslims should leave Tamil Nadu and Allah (God of Muslims) should leave Tamil Nadu if he cannot understand Namaz offered in Tamil and needs to be prayed in Arabic. Secular cowardice prevented Karunanidhi from saying so!
These are just a few of the many anti-Hindu discriminatory policies of the Indian state, and genuine grievance of the Hindu community.
Now let us see just some of the incidents in
present-day India from the past few years, on how the Hindus were killed by
radical Muslims (misguided with their view that kafirs are inferior and idolatrous kafirs deserve to be killed).
1- In August 2000, around
100 Hindus were killed by Islamic terrorists with bullets in Kashmir. But it
was different from the Godhra carnage, where 2000 Muslims roasted to coal 59
Hindus and most of the killers went scot-free. The Tribune (published from Chandigarh) reported on this massacre
of Hindus as below:
“SRINAGAR, Aug 2 — In a series of planned
massacres, militants have gunned down 95 persons, (105 according to PTI) since
last night. However, the officials put the toll at 89. Hours
after their strike at Amarnath pilgrims base camp at Pahalgam, the militants,
believed to be opposed to the Hizbul Mujahideen’s ceasefire declaration, struck
with a vengeance striking at five places killing at least 58 members of the minority community (Hindus). As the administration was dealing with the
Pahalgam incident, the militants struck again killing 27 labourers hailing from UP, Bihar and Madhya Pradesh (Hindus) in
two separate attacks at Mirbazar-Qazigund and Sandoo-Acchabal in Anantnag
district. In the wee hours today they gunned down 11 members of the minority community (Hindus) in a remote village in
Doda district and wiped out seven members of a family belonging to a
surrendered militant in Kupwara.
They also ambushed a group of village defence committee members when
they were on a patrol in Kayar village of Doda killing eight of them (Hindus) and injuring two others. An official
spokesman here said the militants also took away weapons of the deceased and
the injured persons.
In yet another incident, militants shot dead two persons at Ramsu on the
Srinagar-Jammu national highway…Militants called male labourers in Mirbazar out
of their hutments on the pretext of helping them to extricate a stuck vehicle
but hardly they had moved 15 to 20 metre when the militants turned back and
fired a hail of bullets killing 18 on
the spot and injuring eight others, Shankar, one of the injured said in a
hospital here…Within minutes another group of militants struck in Sandoo-Acchabal where they shot dead seven
brick-kiln labourers after segregating them from women and children. Two
labourers were injured in the attack. The militants gunned down 11 members of the
minority community (Hindus) at
Khodinadh village in Banihal, 125 km from here..."
2- A good
article which contains a compilation of attacks and killings of Hindus in Tamil
Nadu and Kerala by Muslim fanatics which is a must-read can be got by opening
the link below.
In 1982, Badsha, who would later become a powerful Islamist leader, made an attack on a group of Hindu leaders returning from a meeting at Coimbatore. Two years later, on 18-7-1984, in full public view at Madurai railway station, the same Badsha attacked Rama.Gopalan, a prominent Hindu leader of Hindu Front, a vocal Hindu organization that combated conversions and Dravidianist propaganda. Though Badsha was caught red-handed, he could not be convicted. This gave the Islamist forces their first taste of victory over the judicial system in Tamil Nadu and provided a profitable lesson in using the Dravidian polity to their advantage.
In 1986, the first Islamic terrorist organization in the region – the All India Jihad Council (AIJC) was formed. After this the attacks started becoming virulent and systematic. On 30-Aug-1989, Veera Ganesh, a prominent Hindu Front worker, was killed. Then on 05-Sep-1991, Veera Shiva, another Hindu Front functionary was killed. All these killings happened in and around Coimbatore –the commercial hub of Tamil Nadu.

All these killings happened in and around Coimbatore –the commercial hub of Tamil Nadu.
In the
period between 1989 and 1997, 42 Hindus had been murdered in Coimbatore region
by Islamists. Some were random killing of Hindus to ‘instill fear’ like the
killing of five Hindus in one day (On 2 September 1997) and many were targeted
executions of Hindu activists. The organization that was doing these murders
was Al-Ummah. Resolutely ignoring all IB
warnings on 28th January 1997 Badsha and four others were released
from Coimbatore jail by DMK regime following its decision to withdraw the TADA
cases (and later the devastating 1998 Coimbatore blasts resulted as a
result of this policy of DMK).
3- In February 1998 there were
deadly bomb blasts in Coimbatore which nearly killed L K Advani and killed 58
people, most Hindus. The final report of the Justice P.R. Gokulakrishnan
Commission of Inquiry, which was set up by the Tamil Nadu Government to inquire
into the causes of and circumstances that led to the serial bomb blasts in
Coimbatore on February 14, 1998, is a stinging indictment of the Coimbatore
police. The report says that "it is definite... the lapse on the part of
the police personnel, deputed for surveillance and checks, in discharging their
duties more vigorously, vigilantly and intelligently" enabled the Al-Umma
"terrorists to execute their dastardly plan of planting bombs" that
killed 50 persons and injured 200.
The then DMK Government of TN had not even banned Al-Umma before these
blasts!
The commission has concluded that if the police
personnel in Coimbatore town and Coimbatore rural district deputed "for
surveillance and checks, had been more vigilant before the bomb blasts, the
tragic incidents... could have been averted". State and Central agencies had sent several messages alerting the
Coimbatore city police to moves by Muslim fundamentalist groups, particularly
Al-Umma, to target either police personnel or Hindu leaders during the month of
Ramzan. The blasts coincided with the visit of Bharatiya Janata Party
leader L.K. Advani.
According to the commission, there were three human
bombs - Amanuallah, Melapalayam Amjath Ali and Rafique alias Shanmugam - at the
venue of a public meeting that Advani was scheduled to address. They wore beads
round their neck and sported kumkum on their foreheads, to appear like Hindus.
As they could not penetrate the police cordon, they left the venue without
exploding the bombs they carried to their waist. However, bombs exploded at
several other places, striking terror. The explosions took place before Advani,
whose flight had been delayed, reached the venue.
According to the report, it has been
"categorically established" that Muslim fundamentalist organisations,
especially Al-Umma, had hatched "a deep-seated conspiracy" to explode
the bombs. The organisation, headed by S.A. Basha, was out "to wreak
vengeance" for the death of 18 Muslims killed in police firing and related
incidents on November 30 and December 1, 1997, following the murder of a
traffic constable, R. Selvaraj, by three Al-Umma members in Coimbatore.
To add insult to injury, after these devastating bomb blasts, the Congress Party gave a clean chit to Islamic radicals like Al-Umma and accused RSS of carrying out these bomb blasts! The then Congress President Sitaram Kesri made a
ridiculous and bizzare allegation at that sensitive time, suspecting RSS role
in the blasts.
http://www.rediff.com/news/1998/feb/16blast2.htm
http://www.rediff.com/news/1998/feb/16blast2.htm
After this, the RSS sued Sitaram kesri and there were reports that he denied
having made the allegation. But he then denied having denied the allegation and
stuck to his charge. Asked about the reported theft at the home of BJP
vice-president O Rajagopal, Kesri said, "An RSS hand is possible in this
episode too."
http://www.rediff.com/news/1998/feb/20kesri.htm
An incident like the
deadly Coimbatore blasts nearly killing Advani and killing 58 people, most of
whom were BJP workers also were not enough to melt the heart of Sitaram Kesri
and the Congress made such a reckless and insensitive statement. Alleging that
RSS killed 58 people when RSS did not have anything to do with it and in fact
most of the victims were BJP/RSS people, is very inhuman.
Not just this the party fully backed this charge. The Tamil Nadu unit president of the party did not have any melt of heart even after the deadly blasts nearly killing Advani.
Not just this the party fully backed this charge. The Tamil Nadu unit president of the party did not have any melt of heart even after the deadly blasts nearly killing Advani.
4- Khalistanis also killed many Hindus, specially RSS men from between 1981 to 1993. Belgium-based world famous scholar Dr Koenraad Elst has written in his book “BJP vis-à-vis Hindu Resurgence” (Voice of India, 1997):
“The Islamic bomb attacks on Sangh centres in Chennai and elsewhere, the murders of BJP politicians in UP, Mumbai and elsewhere, they all have not provoked any counter-attacks. Anti-Hindu governments in Bihar (of Laloo Yadav from 1990-2005) and West Bengal (of Left Front from 1977 to 2011) have achieved some success in preventing the growth of sizable RSS chapters by means of ruthless intimidation and violence, all without having to fear any RSS retaliation.
The mass killing of Hindus in East Bengal in 1971
and the constant petty terrorizing of Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh to
chase them out have not moved Hindus in India to retaliate in any way; they
never even talk about it. By contrast, a single murder by a Hindu, that
of Gandhi himself, was enough to throw the Hindutva movement off course for
decades. There is no dearth of Hindu soft-brains who feel guilty for the
Ayodhya demolition, and who preach that Hindus should make amends for it.”
During the Khalistani separatist struggle
in Punjab (1981-93), hundreds of RSS and BJP men were killed by the
Khalistanis, yet this did not provoke a single act of retaliation. As just one
example, on 25 June, 1988 at Moga 26 RSS
volunteers were killed. 22 were injured in an indiscriminate firing in
Nehru Park. Just one link: http://iref.homestead.com/Khalistan.html

This is the report of a Kashmiri
newspaper. How many grievances do the Hindus have then? Did they go on a
retaliation spree anywhere in the country? This doesn’t take into account the
hundreds of Hindus who were killed in 1990 during the time they left the state.
Along with the more than 2,50,000 Kashmiri Hindus who left the Valley, hundreds
were also killed by guns.
6- In the 1971 East Pakistan i.e. Bangladesh war,
Pakistani forces killed 30 lakh i.e. 3 million Bangladeshis of whom 2 million
were Hindus (and 1 million others because the Pakistani clergy declared
Bangladeshis as un-Islamic) and raped 2,50,000 women. It has been revealed that
Hindus were the target of Pakistanis. The Indian Government knew this, and yet
kept this fact hidden, for fear of the Sangh Parivar exploiting the issue in
India.
7- Just to see some of the
Kashmir incidents in more detail- on 6 August 2002, fanatic Muslims who
were militants killed 9 Hindus who were on a pilgrimage to Amarnath in Kashmir
and injured 32.
Before this, on 30 July 2002, two Hindus were killed by Islamic radicals
in Kashmir. http://www.rediff.com/news/2002/jul/30jk3.htm
8- On 2 May 2006, fanatic Muslims
killed 35 Hindus in Jammu’s Doda and Udhampur areas in India.
9- On 27 February 2002, a mob of 2000 fanatic Muslims killed 59 Hindus in Godhra and hundreds of Hindus were also killed even after Godhra. But the self-styled secular brigade tried to whitewash the Muslim aggression even after Godhra too and made it sound as if there were no attacks on Hindus post-Godhra.
As if this was not bad enough, the 'secularist' lobby of the Kamal Mitra Chenoy-AAP type defended the fanatic Muslims who roasted the 59, including 25 women and 15 children, and tried to blame the killed Hindus. They first made false and baseless charges on the dead by accusing them falsely of 'provoking the incident' by alleging that the karsewaks misbehaved with Muslim women, or kidnapped a Muslim girl, or refused to pay for tea and snacks and any number of imaginary and self-contradicting charges and insulted the dead.
Politicians of the 'secular' brand like Lalu Yadav of the RJD, Samajwadi Party, Congress and Left Front tried to deny that Muslims had burnt the train itself. Lalu Yadav falsely alleged that the BJP and RSS roasted the train in Godhra, when the report appointed by his own Banerjee Committee (later declared illegal by court) said that it was an accident. When the report said it was an accident, then how did BJP/RSS people roast the train in Godhra?
Even after the conviction of 31 Muslims by the trial court in Feb 2011, the Congress refused to blame Muslims for Godhra. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Congress-declines-comment-on-Godhra-verdict-blames-Narendra-Modi-for-riots/articleshow/7549121.cms

AAP leader Prashant Bhushan defended the fanatic Muslims even after their conviction and tried to say they did not burn the train. Even such a horrific massacre was not enough to melt the heart of the apologists of fanatic Muslims like Kamal Mitra Chenoy and his ilk.
10- 35 Sikhs were massacred in
Kashmir in March 2000 by Islamic radicals on the eve of the then US President
Bill Clinton’s India visit.
Pakistani-American terrorist David Headley (real name Dawood Gilani)
admitted that Islamic radicals did this act.
11- In the Akshardham temple
attack in Gandhinagar in September 2002 two fanatic Muslims killed 33 Hindus
and injured 80. Their helpers were also not brought to justice, and ultimately
the SC acquitted all accused in the case!
12- After targeting prominent
members of the Kashmir’s Hindu minority for assassination and intimidation in
the first phase of jihadi violence, fanatic Muslim terrorists began
executing large-scale killings from August 1993, when 13 Hindus were massacred
at Sarthal in Doda.
Three years later in 1996, 16 Hindus were again executed in the Doda
village of Barshalla.
From 1998, communal massacres gathered momentum and in scale. In 1998,
132 civilians died in six massacres conducted across the State and in adjoining
Himachal Pradesh. After a lull in 1999, the massacres resumed in 2000. In 2001,
108 people were killed in 11 major incidents, while 83 people were killed in
five incidents in 2002. Most of these killings targeted desperately poor
communities in the State's more remote mountain regions.
In October 2005, a unit of the Hizb ul-Mujahideen-Pir Panjal Regiment
targeted two hamlets in Budhal's Rajouri area. While women in the village were
ordered to prepare food for the terrorists, 11 Hindu men aged between 18 and 57
had their throats slit one by one.
13- In Patna there were bomb
blasts in October 2013 in a rally of Narendra Modi, triggered by fanatic
Muslims of the Indian Mujahiddin, which nearly killed the then Gujarat Chief
Minister Narendra Modi, who is now the Prime Minister. 6 were killed and 85
injured. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_Patna_bombings
Police arrested 8 Islamic radicals for this. http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/patna-blast-case-nia-files-charge-sheet/article5944703.ece
First, the purpose was to kill some people in explosions and trigger a
stampede that killed scores, scare people and scuttle the rally. In this
case, there was also an attempt to deny credit where it's due: That BJP leaders
handled the blasts in a mature and responsible manner. Hundreds of thousands of
emotionally charged youth could do a great deal of damage to themselves and to
the city if told that the rally was under attack. Initially, BJP leaders too
were in the dark as the Patna railway station explosions were seen in
isolation.
When bombs started going off in the vicinity of the ground, cops told them not
to worry about pre- Diwali crackers and tyre bursts. But news did reach the
stage that bombs had been planted around the venue and that people had died and
many had been injured. Hence the final lines of Modi's speech were focused on maintaining calm,
communal harmony and ensuring no life is lost. Any panic or one provocative
statement could turn it into a calamity.
That these blasts happened despite Narendra Modi having a Prime-Ministerial level security shows the approach of the self-styled secular politicians like Nitish Kumar in Bihar. To add insult to injury, hearts of leaders like Nitish Kumar did not melt even after these blasts, who continued their Modi-bashing, and Congress leaders like Subodh Kant Sahay added insult to injury by alleging that the BJP carried out the blasts defending the Indian Mujahiddin.
14- Islamic radicals in Kashmir
warned the Sikhs living there to embrace Islam or die, or leave Kashmir in
August 2010. This is exactly what was done to the Kashmiri Hindus in January
1990- they were given three choices- convert to Islam, die or leave Kashmir,
and they chose the last and no one chooses death.
15- In August 2007, the MIM MLA,
Akbaruddin Owaisi, brother of Asaduddin Owaisi openly vowed to kill Bangladeshi
writer Taslima Nasreen. He is the same man who later said that 100 crore Hindus
can be killed by the Muslims of India if the Police are removed for 15 minutes.
16- 4 RSS workers were brutally murdered in
West Bengal on 10 February 2001 by Islamists during the rule of the Left Front.
http://www.hvk.org/2001/0201/170.html
The Police made no effort to save them, and no effort to crack down the culprits and arrest and punish them. With a conniving Left-influenced Mainstream media and the anti-RSS Left Front Government of West Bengal, what else could be expected?
http://www.hvk.org/2001/0201/170.html
The Police made no effort to save them, and no effort to crack down the culprits and arrest and punish them. With a conniving Left-influenced Mainstream media and the anti-RSS Left Front Government of West Bengal, what else could be expected?
17- Far from retaliation, Indians hardly even
talk of the 1971 genocide of Hindus in Bangladesh where 2 million Hindus were killed. Mass killing of Hindus in East Bengal in
1971 & constant terrorizing of Hindus in Pakistan & Bangladesh has seen no retaliation at all.
18- On 2 May 2003, in Marad village in Kerala, 8 Hindus were killed by an armed mob of 90 fanatic Muslims.This attack was revived memories of the 1921 Moplah massacres of Hindus in Kerala, when thousands were killed and thousands forcibly converted to Islam whom Gandhi praised as 'My God-fearing brave Moplah brothers'.

19- There have been several bomb blasts carried out by Islamic radicals in India to kill Hindus. In March 1993, bomb blasts in Mumbai killed as many as 257 people, with injuries to 700, and caused a loss of property worth crores of rupees. These blasts were carried out by local Indian Muslims with the active help of Pakistan and the silent approval of Saudi Arabia.
In December 2000, the historic Red Fort in Delhi was attacked by fanatic Muslims from Pakistan, and the attack killed 3 people. But these Pakistanis had support from local Indian Muslims. 6 people were convicted for supporting them in October 2005.

Targeted Killings to RDX Bomb Blasts in South India by Islamic radicals
The DMK
regime in Tamil Nadu was ideologically soft towards pan-Islamic forces. One of the
cherished myths of the pseudo-secularists is that Islamic terrorist activities
started only after 1992 demolition of the disputed structure in Ayodhya. But the Islamist
attacks on Hindu activists started much before that. A full one decade before
the demolition, the murderous attempts on the life of Hindu activists had
started in Tamil Nadu.
In 1982, Badsha, who
would later become a powerful Islamist leader, made an attack on a group of
Hindu leaders returning from a meeting at Coimbatore. Two years later, on 18-7-1984, in full public view at Madurai railway
station, the same Badsha attacked Rama Gopalan, a prominent Hindu leader of
Hindu Front (i.e. Hindu Munnani), a vocal Hindu organization that
combated conversions and Dravidianist propaganda. Though Badsha was caught red-handed, he could not be
convicted. This gave the Islamist forces their first taste of victory over
the judicial system in Tamil Nadu and provided a profitable lesson in using the
Dravidian polity to their advantage. [5]
All India Jihad Council and
al-Ummah
Within two years, the
radical elements were gathered by one extremist preacher Ahmed Ali alias Palani
Baba. In 1986, the first Islamic terrorist organization in the region – the All
India Jihad Council (AIJC) was formed. After this the attacks started becoming
virulent and systematic. On 30-Aug-1989,
Veera Ganesh, a prominent Hindu Front worker, was killed. Then on
05-Sep-1991, Veera Shiva, another Hindu
Front functionary was killed. All these killings happened in and around
Coimbatore –the commercial hub of Tamil Nadu. Along with AIJC another
organization too had come into being: Al-Ummah.
One of the cherished and
oft-repeated myth is that it was the demolition that triggered the bomb
explosions. The fact that even months before the demolition happened, the
Jihadist had started preparing for the bomb blasts falsifies this
pseudo-secular contention. Tamil Nadu police arrested the Al-Ummah members
Hyder Ali (38), Abdul Mudalif (47), Mohammed Abdul Khader (50) and Zakir
Hussain (38) on October 1992, when they were smuggling explosives from Kerala
on a stolen car. It should be noted that this event happened on 29th
October 1992 a month before the demolition.[6]
The Kerala connection surfacing
here shall take the form of a very elaborate well-coordinated network later. In
Kerala at that time Abdul Nasser Madani was the kingpin of Jihad. He was the
counterpart of Palani Baba in Kerala. His organization ISS (Islamic Sevak
Sangh) was proscribed in 1993. He rechristened his organization as PDP
(People’s Democratic Party). At the same time was born NDF (National
Development Front). Though technically two different organizations, as observed
by A.V. George, Asst. Commissioner of Police Ernakulam, Kerala the NDF and the
PDP units had cooperated with each other to carry out extremists’
activities.[7]
Neera Rawat, who was
Kozhikode City Police Commissioner from March 22, 1997 to May 16, 1999, had
prepared a confidential dossier on NDF activities. According to the information
gathered by her ISI and Iran were the sponsors of the NDF.[8] Ms. Rawat also
revealed that the Special Branch had also given reports regarding the
transportation of arms in ambulance vans. The significance of this piece of
information would become clear later.
On August 1993 RDX was used to destroy RSS state headquarters killing
11 persons. Then in October 1994 state president of Hindu Front Mr. Rajagopalan was dragged out of his house and killed. In
April 1995 the headquarters of Hindu
Front at Chennai was blasted using RDX. Individual killings also continued.
Then in July 1995, a parcel bomb killed the wife of district president of Hindu
Front. Jihad activities in and around Coimbatore continued with a renowned
vigor.
Ideological Blind Spot
In an extraordinarily
insightful study of the southern Jihad, BJP noted the ideological blind spot in
the Dravidianist ideology that made the parties in power irrespective of the
party affiliation, look over the Jihad activities. On July 1995, BJP’s
parliamentary delegation visited Tamil Nadu and the then leader of the
Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Sikandar Bakht observed in his report how “the
political climate in TN… marked by the influence of separatists Dravidian
movement which is mostly based on anti-Hindu (views)” made “the powerful
Dravidian parties “frown upon “any pro-Hindu, nationalist activities”.
Bakht report further
noted that how “a section of the AIADMK, the present ruling party of the state,
is also reported to have a sort of allergy towards Hindu organisations” and
also observed that “the Al-Ummah led by
Syed Ahmed Batcha of Coimbatore “enjoys the support of various political
parties including some ruling AIADMK leaders.”.
The 1995 report
surprisingly revealed the globalization attempt of the South based Jihad
forces, noting how no action was taken against the founder of All India Jihad
Council who had written “letter appealing to the international Islamic
community for funds to carry on his fight against Hindu organisations” which
was “widely distributed in Gulf countries.”
The report pointed out
that the Tamil Nadu based Jihad elements were now “working in collaboration
with Kerala ISS chief Madani”.[9]Meanwhile a political offshoot had emerged
from ‘Tamilnadu Muslim Munnetra Kazhakam’ (TMMK) which stated that it eschewed
the violent path of Al-Ummah. But as events later showed it was more an effort
to have a division of labor to facilitate an atmosphere conducive for Islamist
operations than for democratizing their community. AIADMK regime then was
perceived as notoriously corrupt and inept by general public. So when it
started making some tentative steps to curb Jihad terror it was too late. The
police had set security check posts in some strategic points in areas like
Kottamedu at Coimbatore.
The pseudo-secular media
persons in Tamil Nadu, close to DMK ideology, charged the AIADMK of isolating
the Muslims. DMK made removal of the
check posts part of its poll deal which it struck with TMMK in exchange of
Muslim votes. When the DMK came to
power the Islamist mob was allowed to dismantle the check posts and then a
fresh round of nightmare began for Coimbatore.
Prequel to ‘Operation Allahu
Akbar’
In the period between
1989 and 1997, 42 Hindus had been
murdered in Coimbatore region by Islamists. Some were random killing of Hindus to ‘instill fear’ like the killing
of five Hindus in one day (02-09-1997) [10] and many were targeted
executions of Hindu activists. The organization that was doing these murders
was Al-Ummah.
Resolutely ignoring all IB warnings on 28th
January 1997 Badsha and four others were released from Coimbatore jail by DMK
regime following its decision to withdraw the TADA cases.[11]
Interestingly, the Madras
film industry, even tried to glorify the Jihadist by making a blockbuster in
his name – Badsha starred by Tamil superstar Rajni Kanth.
But such little acts of appeasement by
Kollywood did not prevent Al-Ummah from throwing pipe-bombs at director Mani
Ratnam’s house as a warning against the films he directed ‘Roja’ and ‘Bombay’
which spoke against terrorism in the backdrop of Kashmir and spoke for communal
harmony in the backdrop of Mumbai riots respectively. Meanwhile Badsha grew
mysteriously stronger with funds flowing in and state power turning a blind
eye. He was paying, in 1990s, Rs 5000 per month for his “boys” and for the
“higher ups” 100 cc motor cycles were gifted. [12]
An early morning of
November 1997 saw an altercation with the bike riding Al-Ummah youths and a
police man. This was followed by Al-Ummah youths declaring that they would
extract revenge. Then the threat was
made real by a public execution of a police constable, Mr. Selvaraj. To the
shocked media and public the images of
the wives of policemen demanding security for their husbands clearly showed
the pathetic condition to which law and order had been reduced. Two days after
the brutal execution of constable Selvaraj, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi came out with an extraordinarily
callous statement that the police men should not have harassed two wheeler
youths just for the sake of statistics. [13]
Riots broke out in
Coimbatore following the murder of Selvaraj. And then on the Valentine’s Day of
1998 Coimbatore saw 76 deaths due to a meticulously planned serial bombing – a
terror plot code named ‘Allahu Akabr’.[14]
It was not an attack from
the blue. Sufficiently enough early warnings had been there. In the twenty
months prior to the Feb-14-1998 bomb blast there had been 21 bomb explosions –
some accidental and some by local Tamil groups but the most sophisticated
coordinated bomb blasts like the blasts
in the Express trains at Thiruchi and Erode on the same day in 1997 were
carried out by Al-Ummah with logistics from Kerala. [15]
Soon after this mega-terror attack, Jihadists struck again. In
March 1998 Prof. Paramasivam a soft spoken gentleman, who had helped all
students irrespective of their community, was
dragged out of his house and was executed brutally. Three Islamist youths
were arrested initially. [16]
Sequel to ‘Operation Allaku
Akbar’
After the 1998 bomb
blasts, an embarrassed DMK, which had severe electoral reverses in the
Parliament elections, allowed police to crack down on Islamist forces.
Meanwhile the political changes, with DMK entering and AIADMK exiting the NDA,
reinforced the DMK-government’s drive against Islamic terror network in the
state. A relative period of vigil followed though not without a few targeted
murders by Al-Ummah elements, now mostly on the run. The 2001 election reverses
suffered by DMK in Tamil Nadu state assembly elections, made DMK again move
towards the minority appeasement policy and AIADMK, now in power, started
warming up towards BJP.
Meanwhile Islamic forces
had started working earnestly towards regrouping, realignment and restructuring
their strategies. A massive outreach programme was launched. Former Jihadists
now aging started becoming evangelicals for Islam. In television, print media
and digital media Islamists started a vigorous propaganda that Islam was a
religion of peace and that Islamic youths were targeted by an anti-Islamic
regime. Every social ill was magnified and presented through the theological
prism of Islamic monotheism. It was a virulent form of Islam that was being
propagated now.
Tamil Nadu BJP as well as
Hindu outfits seemed to have left everything in the hands of state agencies.
While Islamists worked overtime to remove the terror stigma, create a positive
image in public psyche even as making their terror infrastructure ever more
robust, Hindu movements in Tamil Nadu started getting lethargic.
Unlike the observant 1995
BJP team and later the ABVP which produced the detailed study of Jihad
terrorism in the state, the BJP of early 2000 was more worried about benefits
of power than about getting justice to the victims of Jihad terror in Tamil Nadu.
Or at least that is the scenario one gets going through the happenings.
Throughout the years BJP was in power, Islamists toiled hard building networks
in the so-called secular community.
In 2001 DMK lost the
state elections and AIADMK won. TMMK had supported AIADMK. Islamists across
South India in a significant move started two major organizations in Tamil Nadu
and Karnataka. They were given deceptively secular names namely Manitha Neethi
Pasarai (MNP) and Karnataka Forum for Dignity (KFD). They were coordinated by
NDF of Kerala.
In 2002 all the six
persons accused of murdering the Madura College Professor, K.R. Paramasivam, were acquitted by a Madurai court. Of
the six accused one young person raised his hands and shouted slogans. His name
was `Police’ Fakruddin. [17]
In 2013, eleven years later, Tamil Nadu police would announce him as major suspect in the inhuman killing of
auditor Ramesh.
In 2003, all eight Al-Ummah men were acquitted in
Selvaraj murder case.[18] In
February 2003 and again in March 2003 16 Al Umma men were acquitted because the
police ‘had failed to prove the charges beyond reasonable doubt’.[19]
While the murder accused
were rescued through professional legal assistance and even when jailed their
comforts and family’s economic security were taken care of, what about the
plight of those killed by terrorists?
They are forgotten by the
society. It was reported in 2010 that P.
Sivanandi, Inspector-General of Police, West Zone, after persistence personal
efforts and toils, tracked down Selvaraj’s wife Jayanthi and daughter Lavanya
who were found living in Vadipatti in an impoverished state.
Madhani Massacre and Massage
From a lower middle class
he looks too aged for his age. His only son was killed during the Coimbatore bomb
blasts. He was given the post of medical attendant at the Govt. medical
hospital at Coimbatore. There he was entrusted the care of a person in a wheel
chair. He should get the patient hot water and tiffin; take him in wheelchair
to the bathroom. He should serve the patient all his needs. And the person in
the wheel chair was none other than Madani – Abdul Nasser Madani the main
accused and Godfather of Southern Jihad.[20]
Such insensitivity
towards victims was matched by exuding compassion towards the terror-accused.
In 2002, Syed Munir Hoda, IAS was made Home Secretary for the Chief Minister
Jayalalithaa, who had a good rapport then with TMMK.[21] Later he would stand
accused for helping Abdul Nasser Madani by lifting the ban on Madani’s movements,
enabling the high-profile prisoner to seek medical treatment.[22] As Madani was
moved out of jail, his communication capabilities increased.
On 2nd May 2003 at the coastal
village of Marad, Kerala, eight Hindu fishermen were massacred brutally by Islamists. Before the
Thomas Commission appointed by Kerala government investigative officers
revealed that one of the master minds of the massacre Mohammed Nafi had met Abdul Nazar Madani in the Coimbatore
Central Prison, eight times before the massacre.[23] The commission later
discovered that another IAS officer Sooraj was responsible for the failure of
the civil administration in to prevent the Marad massacre and pointed out that
‘the allegation of communalism’ raised against him could not be ignored and required
to be enquired into by the State government. [24]
The 2002 helping of
Madani by Munir Hoda IAS which allowed Madani to communicate with one of the
architects of Marad massacre, and the act of omission by another IAS officer
Sooraj which allowed the massacre to happen cannot be easily brushed aside as
coincidences. If they are not indeed coincidences it shows the new reach of
Islamist activities at higher corridors of power in South India which in turn
can provide Jihad more capacity to strike at will.
In 2004 AIADMK moved
closer to BJP having an electoral alliance. It was then that the CM discovered
the transgression of Hoda and sacked him. Islamist organizations raised a hue
and cry. In 2004 elections the NDA was defeated in the Parliament polls and in
Tamil Nadu NDA was defeated in all 40 constituencies. In 2004 police busted a
camp of MNP at a village in Cuddalore Tamil Nadu. According to the police
sources, the MNP was said to be having a nationwide network and was suspected
to have links with the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front of Yasin Malik and
acted as a recruiting agency to beef up the terrorist forces in Jammu and
Kashmir. [25]
Incidentally the original
flag of MNP was that of JKLF which was later slightly modified with a single star.
In 2005 a bus was burnt near Kalamassery, Kerala. One of the accused here was
Thadiyantavide Nazeer. He was also involved in planting of bombs in Coimbatore
Press Club and blasts in Kozhikode bus stand to secure Madani’s arrest. A
native of Kerala he had become the southern operations commander of Lashkar e
Toiba. When at last he was arrested in 2009 by Bangalore police the MHA decided
to acknowledge this fact only after a week. [26] Particularly after the Ishrat
encounter political calculations have become part of the MHA – state IB/police
interactions which can have a serious negative impact on anti-terrorist
operations of the state.
Though in jail, Madani
was spreading the Jihadi network, effectively across and Islamists. His
supporters in Tamil Nadu were simultaneously creating a huge pressure through
the human rights industry to secure his release. Leftwing writers, human rights
lobby, Islamists all came together signing petitions for the release of Madani.
Though Nazeer had attempted to murder Nayanar, Kerala chief minister and
Marxist leader, the electoral alignment made the Marxist Party bat for Madani’s
release. On March 2006, Kerala legislative assembly passed a resolution
supported by both Congress and Marxists for the release of Madani then in
Coimbatore jail.[27]
In 2006 AIADMK was
defeated and DMK government came to power. Now the DMK government returned to
the original pro-Jihad stand with a renewed vengeance. It promptly reinstated
Hoda as the Home secretary. In the neighboring Kerala, the LDF had joined hands
with Madani’s political outfit now named PDP.
By July 2006 DMK
government gave the green signal to Islamists by allowing a costly Ayurvedic
treatment for Madani which involved 10 masseurs and 4 senior Ayurvedic doctors.
The 35 days treatment costs Rs 50,000 then and no award for guessing who paid
the bill. [28]
In the early hours of
July 22, 2006 Coimbatore police arrested five suspected members of the MNP, and
seized IEDs and detonators besides surveillance notes and maps from them.
Police said the five had planned to blow up the Coimbatore Government Hospital,
the railway station, the collectorate and the district police office. In August
2006, the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Coimbatore, V Ratnasabapathy,
revealed a plot for terror attack on Coimbatore city. He was promptly
transferred by the state government. According to the police sources TMMK came
to the rescue of MNP and pressurized the DMK to transfer the ACP. The cases
were weakened, the police men were harassed and the arrested terror-accused
were released. [29]
This gesture sent a green
signal to Islamists and a warning signal to the police. Police officials
remaining unnamed had started talking to the press about how “barely two weeks
after it was sworn in, Tamil Nadu’s DMK
government had ordered that cases be dropped against 12 Muslim fundamentalists,
all followers of Kichaan Buhari, an
Al Umma sympathizer and key accused in the Coimbatore serial blasts.” These
accused were initially detained under the National Security Act (NSA) and yet
had managed to obtain bail. Now the epicenter of Jihad activities was shifting
to Melapalayam in the hot dusty district of Thirunelveli. Soon the senior policemen in Thirunelveli were shocked by what they saw
as the DMK government’s “blatant sympathy” for the Muslim fundamentalists.[30]
The fears of the police
personnel became prophetic. Soon there
were attacks on Hindu leaders and also liberal Muslims. In July 2006, a head constable who went to
arrest a terror accused inside Melapalayam area was beaten and chased away.[31]
In November 2006, violent attacks by
Jihadist prisoners on fellow Hindu prisoners and jail officials led to their
transfer out of Madurai prison.[32]
On 17-Dec-2006
M.R.Gandhi, a BJP leader of Kanyakumari
district, returning from a meeting at night was attacked by a mob of Islamists
who threatened to burn him alive.[33] The same night Islamists also made their
presence felt at Thenkasi where Kumara Pandiyan
– a prominent Hindu Front leader was murdered by an Islamist. He was
opposing Islamist plan to build a mosque opposite to the famous ancient temple
at Thenkasi.[34] Mr.M.R.Gandhi , as we saw in the beginning was attacked again
in 2013. Those marked for death once in the Jihad radar are seldom forgotten by
the soldiers of Allah.
Taliban style public
execution of Muslim women who did not adhere to strict Purdah or the dictates
of Shariat became order of the day. TMMK – which was one of the proscribed
organizations by the internal ministry to receive funds from abroad- became the
darling of DMK government.
In March 2007 a 35 year old Muslim woman was ceremonially
stoned and then stabbed to death by young fundamentalists for being ‘immoral’
in Thirunelveli district. [35] A
district TMMK official went on record demanding the implementation of the
Islamic law of stoning women to death in secular India. [36] May 2007 saw another Muslim woman tea
vendor hacked to death because she was selling tea in public. [36] In
neighboring Kerala by 2010, the 2006 electoral alliance of CPI (M)-PDP has
evolved into a moral police. The DYFI of CPI (M) and PDP cadre started barging
in houses and beating people. [37]
TMMK meanwhile utilized
the patronage of DMK regime and went for an enlarged capacity building. An
ambulance network was created. Ambulance services have been a favored way of
arms trafficking. At a thanksgiving
function in November 2007 Chief Minister Karunanidhi made a personal donation
two ambulances to TMMK ambulance network.[38] Earlier in August 2007 TMMK
had put to use its ambulances in a deadly attack on Hindus at Thenkasi.
The attacks and killings of the Hindu youths, who were the brothers
of the earlier slain Hindu Front leader, were symbolically done on August 14 –
the independence day of Pakistan. [39] In Coimbatore by August 2007 the case
against Madani was so weakened by DMK government that it was foregone
conclusion that he would be released. However in a curiously inexplicable
judgment the Judge while accepting that there was a conspiracy through serial
bomb blast to kill L.K.Advani then visiting Coimbatore and take revenge on
Hindus, found “several factors outweighed the legal factors for giving death
sentences”. [40] Madani was cleared of all charges while Badsha was safely
saved from the hangman and returned to the comfort of his cell. Madani came out
in 2007. Two years later without much fanfare in 2009 DMK Government released
nine more members of Al Umma, sixteen months before the completion of their
sentence.[41]
In 2008 there were
multiple bomb blasts in Bangalore. And on August 17, 2010, Madani was again
arrested, in connection with the conspiracy for the 2008 Bangalore bomb blast.
[42] The geography of Southern Jihad now included Karnataka very well beyond
the tentative steps. So much so that the Congress government is set to spend Rs
5 lakhs for Madhani’s treatment at an Ayurvedic Spa.[43] Even as the BJP was
getting defeated in the Karnataka election, Arab News from Saudi declared that
unlike the outgoing BJP government the elected Congress government would not
oppose the bail petition of Madani. So the article declared ‘Congress win bodes
well for Madani’ [44].
In fact the current Chief
Justice of India P.Sathasivam who headed the bench of Judges in the Supreme
Court rejected the earlier bail application of Madani. Justice P.Sadasivam
stated an apex court bench headed by Justice P. Sathasivam declard that the
Supreme Court was “not inclined to enlarge him on bail.”[45]
AIADMK again
In 2011 AIADMK came to
power. TMMK had shifted its alliance to AIADMK. This time it had launched a
political party and had got two seats as well. Islamist forces were now well
entrenched in power in Tamil Nadu. This is despite the fact that TMMK is still
in the list of organizations prohibited from receiving foreign contribution by
Ministry of Home Affairs (as on 18-11-2011).[46]
The Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) on 5th October 2011 stated in its website that a
case was registered against five people – MH Jawaharullah, the then State
President (TMMK), S. Hyder Ali, the then State General Secretary (TMMK), H.
Sayed Nizar Ahmed, the then State Dy. President (TMMK), G.M. Shiek and Nalla
Mohmed Kalanjim, the then Authorised Signatories of Coimbatore Muslim Relief
Fund and members of TMMK alleging that during the period from 15.12.1997 to
20.06.2000 they entered into a criminal conspiracy at Chennai and formed an
association to accept foreign contributions without registering the association
and without prior permission of Govt. of India. They had received foreign
contributions of Rs. 1,54,88,000/- (approx) from foreign sources.
This was used for the
relief of Coimbatore bomb blast accused. Additional Chief Metropolitan
Magistrate, Egmore, Chennai has convicted MH Jawaharullah in the case and had
sentenced him to one year rigorous imprisonment. Yet MH Jawaharullah continues
as MLA in Tamil Nadu assembly.[47]
AIADMK had created an
impression that its leader was tough with anti-national forces. In reality
AIADMK just like any other Dravidianist party has natural leanings towards
Islamists and politicizes the war on terror which is being fought by security
forces and intelligence agencies with increasing difficulty because of the
intelligent maneuvering of Islamist forces which manipulate the intrinsic
anti-Hindu prejudices and vote bank politics to their advantage. AIADMK
government also gave the green signal to Islamist forces. Islamists made veiled
as well as blatant threat of violence against the Kollywood movie ‘Thupakki’, a
2012 movie which dealt with ‘sleeper cells’.
Jaya Government instead
of offering protection mediated a compromise between the Islamists and the film
makers.[48] In the same year when 20,000 strong mobs of Muslim agitators
violently laid siege to the US consulate at Chennai, the police were told to
look the other way.[49] In 2013 Viswaroopam film was targeted.
Islamic fundamentalist
organizations demanded ban on the film. Kamal Hassan who made the film in an
extraordinary display of submission to fundamentalist forces made a separate
private premier show to the Islamic private fundamentalist censor groups. The
act boomeranged on the actor. They demanded a complete ban and the government
was more than eager to oblige the fundamentalists. The Chief Minister announced
that the actor could thrash out the differences with the protesting Muslim
groups and the government would clear the decks for the film’s release. [50]
It was also rumored in
film circles that Amir Sultan a fundamentalist Islamist and who was closer to a
rabid Islamic preacher in Tamil Nadu, also helped in settling the deal. Earlier
Ameer had caused a ban on a TV talk show by alerting TNTJ – an Islamist
organization. [51] Kollywood as the Tamil film industry is called is a very
important business place. In 2012 as these Islamist control of Kollywood began
Ameer had become the president of Film Employees Federation of South India
(FEFSI), one of the influential bodies of Tamil cinema[52] An Islamist stranglehold
on Kollywood would help raise funds for many of the Islamist operations in
Tamil Nadu.
After all, foreign money
trail on which Jihad is dependent always allows the security agencies to keep
track and monitor the activities. It was after these events that in full
earnestness the attacks on Hindu activists started. Hindu activists are not a
serious threat to Islamists in Tamil Nadu in direct combat. Nevertheless these
attacks and murders help the Islamists youths get an experience of how to deal with
the law enforcing agencies, how to evade arrests and when arrested how to use
the prison terms. The execution style of these murders of Kaffirs also
reinforces the theo-politics of Islamism. And even if a Jihadist is ailed, they
know they will be securely released through the manipulation of political and
other establishments. In Tamil Nadu Hindu lives have become the preparatory
assignments for budding Jihadists.
Understanding Islamism: It was
Indian historian Sitaram Goel who coined the term ‘Islamism’. To him Islamism
is the residue of Islamic invasions and he sees Indian Muslims as victims of
Islamism. He describes Islamism thus:
Its basic tenets are ultimately
derived from Islam which has so far succeeded in sealing itself off from every
form of empiricism, rationalism, universalism, humanism and liberalism which
are the hallmarks of Hindu as well as Western culture …. Islamism is a
self-righteous psychology and a closed cultural attitude which makes it
impossible for its converts to co-exist peacefully and with dignity.[53]
Tufail Ahmed, director of South Asia Studies Project at the Middle
East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) described the goal and methodology of
‘Islamism’ mainly in the West thus:
The jihadists of Al-Qaeda variety
and Islamists share the same ideological objectives, with the only distinction
being that the former are armed and consider themselves fighting on a
battlefield against infidels. Their goal is: establishing Sharia rule. Islamism
is a softer face of jihadists, sometimes masquerading as liberal Islam in our
midst. Driven by an ideological longing to revive the glory of Islamic
caliphate, Islamists are open to using Western tools of election, constitution
and the rule of law in introducing Islam in a country’s politics, governance,
literature, culture and architecture. Their tactic is to win an election,
re-write a country’s constitution to make it compliant with Islam and begin
Islamising. [54]
In the South Indian context where the institutions of democracy
are not as strongly homogenous as in the West the Islamist strategy is a bit
different and is a liberal combination of Jihadism and Islamism. As it is the
Indian pseudo-secular polity has developed an intrinsically Hindu-phobic
political discourse. It is more pronounced in the South with the Dravidian
discourse which has elements of racial hatred towards Hindus.
Islamism has been consistently drawing upon these resources in
India – using every fault line in Hindu polity, whether the Dravidian in Tamil
Nadu or Marxist-Congress in Kerala to the maximum advantage of furthering the
cause of Islamization of the state. In the next article in this series we will
see a case study of Popular Front of India which provides a text book example
of how an Islamist organization functions in India.
