Ideal of Hindu attacked ...

The ideal of a Hindu is to respect diverse views (who doesn't necessarily belive in our philosophies) and protect people beyond our political boundaries who are being inflicted with injustices.

And FYI, it is not just an ideal in theory which we find suitable for preaching !

Our ancestors have showcased the world by practicing it in their life. They welcomed the Jews and Parsis, who were being ethnically persecuted by the Christians and Muslims. 

“The Indian Jewish identity is the only one that hasn’t been created by persecution,” he (Robin David, an Jew) said. “We’ve never felt scared. This is the first time we’ve been made to feel like Jews.” -- an Article by Naresh Fernandes is the editor of Time Out Mumbai

But ... do we have the capacity and will to carry forward the legacy of our ancestors, our Hindu ideal ? NOT at all ! 

According to another article, The future of terrorism,

India should worry. Terror attacks of such complexity are most easily detected and disrupted by a developed country which has deep pockets and efficient systems. A country like India, with a foothold in three centuries, provides both porous lines of defence and excellent, globally important targets.

Gohan Gunaratne, author of Inside Al Qaeda, points out that "the world's top four countries that suffer from terrorism are Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and India." Take out the failed and rogue states and only India is left. Or, to put it another way, you won't find a Chabat Lubavitch guesthouse (Nariman House) in the other three.

Mumbai attack ... implications and measures

Attack on Mumbai ... perhaps for the first time the voices of "Spirit of Mumbai (Bombay)" are not much being heard as of now at the least! ... I haven't been able to understand if such kinds of spirits are a sign of resilience OR insensitivity?

May the almighty God give strength to all those who have lost their near and dear ones, their loss is irrecoverable. Heartiest tributes to the members of law enforcement agencies (Police, Army and NSG) who have made supreme sacrifice for the motherland and fought gallantly against the terrorists.

Implications:-

1. Political: UPA Govt. on defensive, Home Minister resigns, so does the NSA; BJP on the offensive.  What are leftist doing? Researching tirelessly and trying to solve the case for us (They seem to think that they are the ONLY intellectuals left in India … read on

2. Global: India named among 20 most dangerous places to be.

3. Technical: Terror: New age terrorism a reality.

4. Consciousness: Serious dangers to the diversity loving “Hindu” thought in Bharat.

Measures (Some of them):-

1. Politicizing and communalizing of terrorism is dangerous. Narendra Modi’s targeting the UPA Govt. on the field and when the operation was in progress, was immature, untimely and unwarranted. Consensus MUST emerge, as was hinted by L.K. Advani in his recent address at HT Leadership Summit. Why didn’t the PM and LOP go together at the cite ?

2. Improve the defense and strike capabilities of our armed forces, both in terms of weaponry and fitness. We as a nation just can’t loose our officers of the ranks of ATS chief, ACP, NSG Major, encounter-specialist. We have perhaps over emphasized non-violence a little too much. Stop all talks of non-violence exhibiting unmanliness.

3. Stop wasting time in the non-sense ideas of talking to Pakistan (read ISI) and explaining the evidence we have against them. Prepare and equip the armed forces for pin-pointed, precise and pre-emptive strikes in PoK and Pakistan (without inflicting any damage to the common Pakistani). Make the foriegn affairs and policies more effective, start building a world consensus against Pakistan aggressively. We must really be insane to believe that Pakistan will be facilitating us in nabbing the terrorists in its soil, they will of course take the evidence and use the information to wipe out all traces which could possibly lead to a fair investigation.

4. Start inculcating the great nationalistic values of Bharat, Bharatiya ethos and culture on a war footing. As a next step, a compulsory military training for self-defense and mental alertness at all the times.

5. Instead of running away from religion, society should start making efforts in bridging the gulf between different religions especially islam, christianity and hinduism. Understand each other better, celebrate festivals together and build consensus on issues of nationalism. No appeasement whatsoever towards any body based on faith, so no reservations on the basis of religion.

Story of Sadhavi Pragya

When L.K.Advani talked about the brutality and torture of Sadhavi couple of days back referring to the affidavit filed by her lawyer, I searched in vain for the full text of the affidavit which made him to "finally" realize the ordeal she has been going through, although many of us have sensed it long back. Finally I found the full text of Affidavit filed by Sadhavi Pragya's lawyer in court .. here it is:-

http://www.dailypioneer.com/135277/%E2%80%98I-was-beaten-day-and-night-my-chastity-was-questioned-I-wanted-to-commit-suicide%E2%80%99.html

Now, if a nun in Orissa says that she was raped, she was not put under narco-test to ascertain the authenticity of her statement, rather her word was taken as a commandment and hunt began look for the culprits.

Now, if India is a secular state, similarly shouldn't the role of Maharashtra ATS be probed and investigated on serious charges made by Sadhavi?

Some excerpts from the affidavit:-
.......
6. I say that in Surat during the course of my interrogation with Mr Sawant, I mentioned to him that the LML Freedom two wheeler once owned by me was subsequently sold to one Sunil Joshi of Madhya Pradesh way back in October, 2004 and that Mr Joshi had paid me Rs 24,000/- for the same. I had also signed the necessary TT Form for RTO transfer in October, 2004 itself. I categorically asserted to Mr Sawant that since October, 2004 I had no control over the vehicle or its movements and usage.
.......
16. I say that as a result of the custodial violence/torture, mental stress, anxiety that were developed in the process, I was subjected to, I developed acute abdominal and kidney pains. I lost my appetite, became nauseous and giddy and prone to having bouts of unconsciousness. In view of this, within few hours after putting in Rajdoot Hospital, I was removed from the ATS office and was taken a hospital which learnt it to be Shusrusha Hospital wherein I was kept in ICU.
.......
27. In the circumstances I now pray for the following relief:
a) that the ATS be directed to submit an explanation for my detention without authority of law between 10.10.2008 and 23.10.2008;
b). that enquiry/investigation be conducted into my accusation made hereinabove on oath, regarding custodial torture/violence and mental and psychological abuse;
c). that such investigation as referred to in (b) above, include a polygraph test, as well as Narco analysis on me to determine the veracity of my accusations;
d). that such investigation to include a polygraph test and narco analysis on officers of the ATS named by me, and also of those officers whose names, I do not know, but I can identify, for they subjecting me to mental and physical abuse during custody as well as others to be identified by me;
e) that a report be called for from the ATS for the reasons of my admission in two hospitals ( Shusrusha an another) and the medical treatment undergone by me at the said two hospitals;
f) The ATS be directed to disclose the reasons for my stay at Hotel Rajdoot at Mumbai.;
g) For such further and other reliefs as may be fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case.

History of Malegaon blasts

Finally the secular media and Indian National Congress have something to cheer about. In the past, we saw how the media and the Congress failed miserably to find the face of Hindu Terrorism in the likes of Bajrang Dal. But now it seems that the Media has finally found the story which they have been waiting so anxiously. So, when the ATS (Anti-Terrorist Squad) of Congress run state of Maharashtra comes out with the so called breakthrough in Malegaon blasts, the Media didn’t waste any time to brand it as “Hindu Terrorists”.  The self proclaimed intellectuals and communists, who have been parroting and teaching us that terror has no religion, suddenly lost the sense of self professed intellectualism and stated that Hindu outfits are responsible for Malegaon and Modassa blasts.

What happened ? On 29th Sept. 08, low intensity blasts took place in cities of Malegaon in Maharashtra and Modassa in Gujarat in Muslim dominated areas killing 8 and injuring 80. For more, read on …

Who have made the arrests of alleged suspects ? Maharastra ATS (read the Congress + NCP Govt.)

Track record of NCP chief (Sharad Power) ? He has publically accepted that he faked the announcement of a bomb blast in muslim dominated area after the '93 bombay bomb blasts. So, the NCP can go to any extent to appease the muslims and what better time when the elections are round the corner and BJP is determined to put Congress on the defensive on the issue of fight against terrorism. And giving a track record of Congress's history of muslim appeasement is  a long story in itself. 

Malegaon blasts history ! In 2006 too a series of blasts took place targetting the so called minority community. And when the attacks occur on so called minority, the conscious of intellectuals rise and they write articles in which they become a judge themselves and articulates that the RSS, Bajrang Dal and VHP are behind these blasts. And when the investigations conclude, the result is that it was proven beyond doubt that it were a handiwork of the Lashkar and SIMI. I wonder if these intellectuals like Praful Bidwai, Javed Akhtar Sahab, etc. have any sense of dignity and shame left in their consciousness !

After having failed to nail down the Hindu outfits in 2006, who is being targetted now ? 

Sadhavi Pragya ... she is a symbol of Hindu youth ! So far she has been subjugated to the worst of investigations which are being done on dreaded criminals and terrorists. Her crime is that she has been a devout and staunch Hindu. 

Today, she is the draupadi of modern day bharat who is being insulted by the army of kauravas (Sonia Congress, Pawar NCP, Karat CPIM and christened Media) with dhritarashtra (Advani BJP) blinded in hope of getting on to power and  pandavs (Thakarey ShivSena and Uma Bharati Jana Shakti), perhaps the only source of help. 

Question before the Hindu youth today is which role does he/she wants to play ?

How an Intelligent Indian Muslim thinks ?

After the recent blasts in Delhi, I tried to look around for any comments or reactions from the Indian muslim community. So, I came across this interesting website: http://indianmuslims.in/

First, see the funniest part of it, in the “About Us” section, this is what they say …

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mission Statement:
A platform that engages all Indians in a constructive dialog on issues concerning Indian Muslims

If you are an Indian Muslim and interested in writing for this blog, please drop us a mail at editor[at]indianmuslims.in.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quite evidently, on one hand they want to engage all Indians BUT only allow Indian Muslim to blog on their site !

Now, some of the excerpts (italized) one of the leading blogs on “terrorism” written in the aftermath of Delhi blasts.:-

Blog Name:- It’s the Intelligence, Stupid!

First, blog blames the Intelligence agencies ...

"The latest terrorist act in Delhi killing more than 20 people and claimed by ‘Indian Mujahideen’ just reinforces and reminds that the whole way in which these investigations have been pursued till now are completely ineffective."

Second, as far as strong anti-terror law is concerned,  blog says they are NOT needed ...

"Narendra Modi and Sheila Dixit have called for more stringent anti-terrorist laws. It is a useless demand and any such law will end up subjugating innocents more as we have seen under POTA and TADA than stopping the terrorists. Innumerable detentions throughout India after each blast has shown most of those apprehended have nothing to do with the blasts."

Third, blog suggest some measures to improve working of Intelligence agencies ...

"The Indian intelligence system needs to build contacts with the local Muslim communities, with the imams of mosques and community leaders with honour and respect. They need to bring them on-board and give a sense to the community that we are all in it together. They also need to ensure that the focus is on stopping unlawful activities rather than making the whole community suspect."

My comments are as below one each of the above :-

First, 

If we don't listen to WHAT Intelligence agencies need, then how can we blame them ! NSA says that anti-terror law is needed. Remember these were his views before the Delhi blasts. 

Second,

You are politicizing the “war against terrorism”, Why do you associate politicians to it ? DO NOT POLITICIZE THE MATTER …. I say don’t hear what the elected representatives say! But go ahead and ask from the law enforcement agencies and if they say that anti-terror law isn’t needed then so be it.

As far as efficiency of these laws goes, I must remind here that 100 of the 129 finally accused were found to be guilty and were convicted by the specially designated TADA court. Read here . I was listening to the then Police Commissioner of Mumbai during ’93 Bomb Blasts during one of the discussion after the '93 Blasts verdict was announced in 2006 and he was strongly advocating the need for stringent laws and said that 100 out of 129 means that TADA had one of best conviction rates, without which the terrorist would have easily escaped .

Third,

Unlawful activities” … it is not some petty crimes which we are discussing here my friend, it is the anti-national terrorist activities which are being discussed.

Is the above suggestion practical? You want the Intelligence to build publically visible contacts with the Muslim leaders … They do make contacts within the muslim community covertly and you want to steal away the stealthiest weapon of covertness from Intelligence agencies. Which side are you standing ? I am sorry to say that you don't sound naïve but certainly foolish …

Stupid Common Man ...

Hearing the same story again being repeated ...

In the series of serial bomb blasts ripping one after the other, through various cities of India ... the latest one is New Delhi. Terror strike at the heart of the national capital.

Is this first time capital is attacked ? No
We have witnessed attack on the temple of democracy (which we call 'Parliament') and then again around Diwali in 2005.

We are told that modus operandi of terrorists remains same here as was in Ahmedabad and Bangalore (in a sense that so called "low intensity blasts" being used); but the modus operandi of our elected Governments also remains same asking for people to maintain calm, peace and harmony, not to forget the ex gratia announcements. At most, some make rhetoric statements like "Aar Paar Ki Ladaii" (Do or Die Fight) but then waste crores of rupees to deploy forces around the border and do nothing.

Time is running out ... if the Governments don't do their duty ... then time is not far when somewhere a stupid common man will rise which won't be a pleasing experience for the so called "civilized society" in which we supposedly live today.

Finally a message for the Governments:-

SIMI's Secular Admirers ...

I happen to tumble across the article by S.Gurumurthy. I sometimes wonder if this is the same Congress party of Gandhi and Nehru which led the freedom movement and claims to have given us freedom ?

Source:- http://www.newindpress.com/newsitems.asp?ID=IEM20080821003817

Here are some of the excerpts (in Italics):-

August 5, a court in Delhi annulled the ban on the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), faulting the UPA Govt. for providing “no fresh evidence” to continue the ban.

Intentionally, you (UPA Govt.) don't provide any evidence against SIMI in the court of Law to support the extension of ban against anti-national outfit and eventually the honorable court has no option but to lift the ban.

How did the “seculars” react to the court lifting the ban on SIMI? Mulayam Singh and Lalu Yadav said that the ban was wrong in the first place! Congress party spokesperson Shakeel Ahmed said the order was “no setback.”

This vindicates the conclusion drawn above. UPA Govt. didn't want to extend the ban on SIMI and they don't see Court's verdict as a setback, in fact they are feel happy about it.

When the secularists were handing out negative certificate of good conduct to SIMI, thanks to the court order, a study by the Institute of Conflict Management headed by KPS Gill, the terror of the Punjab terrorists, had already catalogued over 100 incidents from 2000 to July this year, that characterised SIMI as a terror outfit. Its cadre had been charged as motivators and perpetrators in major attacks from 2002 to 2008.

Super Cop KPS Gill is apolitical person and his analysis as an expert MUST have been taken into consideration by UPA Govt., but they did not !

How did SIMI grow to these menacing proportions? The plain answer is that it was receiving open and clandestine political patronage from the seculars. The NDA government first banned SIMI in September 2001 and extended the ban in 2003,which continued till September 2005. The UPA government, which came to power in 2004, did not extend the ban when it expired in September 2005, helping to revive a disintegrating SIMI.

But why did the UPA not continue the ban? Because Sonia Gandhi and her party opposed the first ban on SIMI in 2001. They were not only admirers of SIMI, but also its advocates – yes, really, advocates as Salman Khurshid, president of the Uttar Pradesh Congress committee, was the counsel defending SIMI in the high court and in the Supreme Court against the ban.

While speaking against the introduction of POTA in the special Parliament session in 2002 Sonia censured the government for banning the SIMI, which was not involved in terrorist activities!

The government of the same party had to re-impose ban in 2006 after its own Maharashtra government found SIMI involved in the Mumbai train blasts in 2006.

Even now, Sonia has not uttered one word against SIMI. Does it mean that she admires it still? Or she is so saintly that, like one of the three noble monkeys of Mahatma Gandhi, she sees no evil whether it is SIMI or LTTE or Nalini or Afzal — the RSS and its allies being the only exceptions!

It is war, it has to be fought like one ...

The message is loud and clear from Gujarat,
It (Terrorism) is war, it has to be fought like one ....


How it is to be fought ? Political leadership has to show the "will and resolve" that they want it win this battle and end the disease of terrorism tooth and nail. So, they did the right things at right time ....

1. Asking the society to maintain peace, much to the displeasure of 24x7 media channels who were expecting rhetoric speeches from CM for cheap TRP ratings. For instance here, channel isn't appreciating State Govt. and Police of prevent Ahmadabad in Surat but is being apprehensive of the CM. Such a useless idiots sitting in media houses.

2. Investigate the blasts on "war footing" ...

By midnight of July 26 the ruling political leadership sprang into action to make senior policemen understand that their investigations will get 100 per cent support, nothing less nothing more. They had at their disposal money, resources, manpower and even a chartered plane.

More than 11 teams were formed within the first few hours of the blasts. One team was asked to handle the investigations into the material used in the bombs. Another team was asked to investigate the use of bicycles. Another team was formed to thoroughly check all the phone calls made in Ahmedabad from certain areas just before and after the blasts. Another team was set up to reach out to all the police informers and gather their opinions on and information of the blasts. One team followed the cyber crime aspect of the case. The overall investigation of the case was assigned to the crime branch of Ahmedabad where more than 100 people started following whatever little leads that were available, from the midnight of July 26.

All of them were told that even if "communal riots (the possibility was always there) take place in Ahmedabad they should not divert their attention."

Read on ...

Contrast this with the fact that we have political leaders who don't catch the terrorists for fear of communal riots. The same person (Abul Bashar Qasmi and Co.) was let off by UP Govt. fearing riots by the muslims as I had already mentioned in the last blog title "We have caught them ...."

Is Police good for nothing ? Think again ...

"From July 26 to August 16 (when the breakthrough was announced) none of us went home to sleep. Every morning at 7 we would all go home and return after a shower and in fresh clothes. We would sleep on our chairs in the daytime. We haven't hit the bed yet," said Deputy Commissioner of Police Abhay Chudasama.
