Islamic terrorists kill 22 Hindus in remote Jammu village
No reaction from India's
highly vocal English Media nor any Human Rights Jholawalas

"Jammu-Kashmir is part of India. It is not part of Pakistan. And the notion that any part of India in which there is to be found a Muslim-majority population is one where therefore Muslim claims have legitimacy is absurd."

India is a State in denial ?
Terrorism is simply the name of a technique:  Intentional attacks on civilians

At least 22 Hindu villagers were killed and eight others critically wounded in a militant massacre in village Kalhan in Doda district of Jammu region.

A senior police officer told rediff.com that a group of heavily armed militants swooped in on Kalhan late Sunday night and gathered the Hindu villagers in the house of the village headman. "The militants opened indiscriminate fire at the unarmed villagers huddled inside the house. 22 villagers died on the spot while eight others were critically wounded. The injured have been airlifted to Jammu for specialised treatment," Jammu range police chief inspector general of police Dr S P Vaid said.

He said troops of 8 Rashtriya Rifles and police have reached the spot and a massive hunt has been launched to hunt down the killers. High tension gripped Doda and adjoining areas as the news about the killings spread on Monday morning. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the massacre.

The killings came hours after police found the bodies of four abducted  villagers at Basantgrah in neighbouring Udhampur district Sunday afternoon.  

 

Unfortunately, neither the highly vocal English Media nor any Human Rights jholawalas, including the National Human Rights Commission, have shown any concern for Hindu victims of repetitive carnages. 

Surprisingly, in the midst of cold blooded killings of Hindus of Doda and Udhampur, most TV channels, even print media, remained casual, even dismissive. They stayed fatally attracted to Vadodara riots and persistently glossed over the collapse of governance in Jammu & Kashmir due to sheer pusillanimity of the Central government. For all intent and purposes, the mainstream media's single-point agenda was to pour vitriolic ridicule on the Narendra Modi Government.

Refer to chapter on Nature Worship.

No stern warning (or even a mild warning!) was issued to Gulam Nabi Azad, the chosen favourite of Sonia Gandhi and the Islam-loving and Hindu-hating UPA Government in New Delhi. According to UPA Government, Narendra Modi of Gujarat is saffronized, non-secular and communal. Gulam Nabi Azad is compassionate, secular, non-communal and above all a non-kafir.

In this context, Hugh Fitzgerald, Jihad Watch Board Vice President, in a very perceptive article written two weeks ago has discussed the current Jihad in Jammu and Kashmir and in the Indian subcontinent in general. He asks the pertinent question: 'Why do Muslim terrorists attack in Jammu-Kashmir? Because they can. 

The Muslim claim to Kashmir differs from their claim to all of India (or for that matter to Spain (Al-Andalus), to Israel, to Sicily, to the Balkans, to Bulgaria, to Rumania, to Hungary, and to all the areas once dominated by Muslims) only in the ability to push that claim. Of course, in the jihadist view the entire world in the end must submit to Islam and be dominated by Islam ? though non-Muslims may, should they accept what many Muslims continue to believe is perfectly just, live under those unambiguous conditions of humiliation, degradation, and physical insecurity whose sum is the status we now describe as 'dhimmitude'.  

At least the pseudo-secular Islam-embracing minority UPA Government in New Delhi should officially recognize in all their actions and overtures that Jammu-Kashmir is part of India. It is not part of Pakistan.

To quote Hugh Fitzgerald once again in this context: 'For what would follow, logically, would be a turning of all sorts of places within India into little Muslim-ruled areas. And given that the Muslim rate of population growth is always higher, in India and elsewhere than the non-Muslim population, and given that Muslims have not hesitated to push out large numbers of non-Muslims (think of the 400,000 Kashmiri Pundits forced to flee when threatened with death), either one takes a firm stand and rejects Muslim demands or, by even hinting at 'negotiating,' one emboldens the mujahedin.'

Why a Jihad in Jammu Kashmir?

 Jammu-Kashmir is part of India. It is not part of Pakistan. And the notion that any part of India in which there is to be found a Muslim-majority population is one where therefore Muslim claims have legitimacy is absurd.

Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald discusses the jihad in Jammu and Kashmir, and on the subcontinent in general:

Why do Muslim terrorists attack in Jammu-Kashmir? Because they can. The Muslim claim to Kashmir differs from their claim to all of India (or for that matter to Spain (Al-Andalus), to Israel, to Sicily, to the Balkans, to Bulgaria, to Rumania, to Hungary, and to all the areas once dominated by Muslims) only in the ability to push that claim. Of course, in the jihadist view the entire world in the end must submit to Islam and be dominated by Islam -- though non-Muslims may, should they accept what many Muslims continue to believe is perfectly just, live under those unambiguous conditions of humiliation, degradation, and physical insecurity whose sum is the status we now describe as "dhimmitude".  

            

400,000 Kashmiri Hindus have been displaced from their homes as a result of terrorism in Kashmir. They live in camps in Jammu and Delhi.

Hindu civilization in Jammu-Kashmir should be defended. It is a pity that so many in India among those who are called, quite loosely and often quite comically, "intellectuals" -- all shy away from anything that might conceivably be taken as a defense of Hindu (or Sikh) civilization, or culture.

Jammu-Kashmir is part of India. It is not part of Pakistan. And the notion that any part of India in which there is to be found a Muslim-majority population is one where therefore Muslim claims have legitimacy is absurd. For what would follow, logically, would be a turning of all sorts of places within India into little Muslim-ruled areas. And given that the Muslim rate of population growth is always higher, in India and elsewhere, then the non-Muslim population, and given that Muslims have not hesitated to push out large numbers of non-Muslims (think of the 400,000 Kashmiri Pandits forced to flee when threatened with death), either one takes a firm stand and rejects Muslim demands or, by even hinting at "negotiating," one emboldens the mujahedin. The Israelis have done the latter, to their own sorrow. In failing to make their own case, they have also failed to help Infidels in Europe understand that the siege against Israel, that Lesser Jihad, is hardly the only, or even the most important, of the local Jihads now being waged. And it will continue to be waged, using all the instruments now available, unless met with well-informed, implacable, and relentless opposition.

India should not be "negotiating" over Jammu-Kashmir.

Hindu civilization in Jammu-Kashmir should be defended. It is a pity that so many in India among those who are called, quite loosely and often quite comically, "intellectuals" -- all shy away from anything that might conceivably be taken as a defense of Hindu (or Sikh) civilization, or culture.  

Above all, no thoroughly modern Indian will dare suggest that Islam has done great damage to Jammu and Kasmir, as well as to India as a whole, and to Indian civilization. No, there are exceptions -- such as that cosmopolitan of Indian descent, V. S. Naipaul, who is not afraid of anyone. There are Indian-Americans (Hindu, Sikh, and even disaffected ex-Muslims) and their counterparts in Great Britain, who also know how silly it is not to make the case, to ignore history, or to shy away from the slightest hint of Hindutva, which is often mocked. Why, exactly? Is K. S. Lal to be mocked for "The Legacy of Muslim Rule in India"? Is Sir Jahundath Sarkar

Are all the other Hindu historians of India who have been unafraid to discuss what Muslim rule did to India?

Those of us who are not Indian should find out a good deal more about what happened on the subcontinent, and cease to so readily accept the "advanced" view which holds that anything smacking of "communalism" (a word used to indicate, of course, those who wish to show their sympathetic interest in, and identification with, Hindu India, and who refuse to play the game of sanitizing the history of Muslim rule) is ipso facto evil.

One hopes that those in the Western world who are articulate and aware, and of Indian (Hindu or Sikh descent, primarily) will help to educate others -- but that can only be done once one has educated oneself. Lal and Sarkar should be household words. The two volumes in which Sita Ram Goel simply lists tens of thousands of Hindu sites destroyed should be better known. Those Indians who become internationally famous, and always -- as a matter of course -- are quick to demonstrate that they have absolutely nothing to do with "communalism" (i.e., Hindu causes, Hindu history, Hindu interests) -- one thinks here of Amartya Sen -- would do better to study their own history, and not to assume that intelligent Hindus and Sikhs who show a bit of that supposedly terrible "communalism" must be wrong. They aren't.

Systematic ethnic cleansing: Hindus always become the victims 
Deafening silence in Secular Press?

There is one thing that nobody, not even the wisest among us can do: and that is to re-live history. Like it or not, we have to live with it. We have to accept the fact that a predominantly Hindu country was ruled for some eight centuries by Islamic invaders and some of their tyrannical successors and for another one hundred years by the British.

That was to give many Hindu intellectuals some of them described as Macaulay’s children a tremendous sense of inferiority. They were often willing to think the worst of Hindu royalty while unwilling or hesitant to look at anything but the more benevolent side of Islamic rule whether under an Aurangzeb or even a Tipu Sultan.

If there is a communal riot in Gujarat it is condemned as a `pogrom’ to eliminate Muslims or, worse still, as genocide on a scale practised by Hitler. 

Systematic ethnic cleansing: Hindus always become the victims 

But let lakhs of Hindu Pandits be driven out of their ancestral home in the Kashmir Valley and there is silence in the secular press. 

***

But let lakhs of Hindu Pandits be driven out of their ancestral home in the Kashmir Valley and there is silence in the secular press.

Hindus in Kashmir are routinely terrorised and killed but that is seldom noticed. There were six killings in 2000, another six killings in 2001, some seven killings in 2002 and just this May terrorists massacred 32 Hindus and our secular media took everything in its stride. The wailing of women whose husbands, sons and fathers were murdered in cold blood went unheard.

Writing in Outlook (20 February) K. P.S. Gill raised an important point. He said: “Why does the Muslim world not rise up in rage against these fanatics and political opportunists who are bringing disgrace to their faith? Why are the voices of criticism against extremist Islam and Islamist terrorism so muted? 

Our secularists pretended not to have read Gill. When dams are raised and huge lakes are formed, ancient temples get submerged but Hindus don’t raise a hue and cry.

At no time has India practised genocide as its two Muslim neighbouring countries have done. It has suffered from terrorists and it continues to do even today and there has not been a voice of protest from Muslim organisations, which should also know that many are the Muslims in India who have been giving shelter to Muslim terrorists and their ISI patrons.

They could organise a protest against President Bush: why can’t they organise a similar protest against General Musharraf and his paid thugs? Is that too much to ask? Or are the wails of Hindu widows the price we have to pay for our vaunted secularism?

Angry reaction to Hindu plight

They go hysteric on dargah, their silence deafening on Hindu carnage.

The latest carnage of 35 innocent Hindus in Jammu and Kashmir is part of the scene that's all so deja vu since the last 20 years or so.

First came the TV news, the tragic images and the screaming newspaper headlines thereafter. Then came the immediate flying visits of VIPs to the massacre sites, their public appeal for communal harmony, their announcement of financial relief to the families of the victims, their condemnation of the incident and their proclaimed resolve that New Delhi will not be bend by the perpetrators. Quickly followed the hand-wringing, rationalising editorials interspersed with human interest stories, hospital pictures, and police/army reactions-cum-speculations.

Within a week, the whole episode went-off the national radar, and it's back to square one: the terrorists ready with plans for more terror attacks of one kind or another, in Doda or Udhampur or elsewhere, smug and secure that this Indian nation of ours is just too soft, impotent in giving "an eye for an eye" and, instead, remains naively susceptible to yet another carnage with its attendant replay.

The only difference this time around is that no outfit was boastful about committing what it did, though the finger yet again points to one of those evil jihadi outfits nurtured by Pakistan. Then there is the other conspicuous element this time of our National Security Adviser's cryptic reaction that "We will send an appropriate message" even while avowing that "The peace process will continue."

What, pray, is an appropriate message, Mr. NSA? And to whom would it be given? Chewing on a betel-nut or something like that in his car while answering the media's questions, all that Mr. NSA disclosed was that the PM would not be going to Pakistan in June as was earlier believed. Was that the "appropriate" message? We don't know.

India in Danger: The Offensive of Islam - By Bojil Kolarov 

In 4102 from the beginning of Kali Yuga the barbarians invaded Punjab. At the lead of their hordes was Mahmud Gaznavi - a Turk from Middle Asia, who moved the capital of his state in Ghazna. In the course of the next years his armies undertook a series of ravaging military campaigns against India, turning her northwest provinces into piles of burning ashes and killing more than one hundred thousand people. However, more fearful is the fact that the invaders forcefully imposed in the sacred land of the Vedas a doubtful religion standing in most cases far lower than the Hinduism - Islam. In the next ten centuries the latter spread all over the country like an epidemic to such a degree that today it encompasses almost one third from the population of the subcontinent and turn into the greatest ever threat for the existence of the Indian civilization.

I have often asked myself what was so specific about the Muslim self-conscience that prevents it from getting integrated with any other? Why the Christians, Buddhists, Judeans, Sikhs or Jains can live in harmony with India and enrich her culture, but the followers of Mohamed can not? The Islam is not just a total religion, it is a nationality. Its followers all over the world felt like part of God-chosen nation, which stands over the rest. The people who profess other religions are considered to be “impious” and in the case of the Hindus, worse - for “pagan”. The Muslims would rather transform India into an Arab country, but they would never become real Indians.

This is the uniqueness of the Muslim invasions in India from the period of 8-15 century. While the previous invaders - the Persians, Greeks, Hunas and Juechas have only ravaged the country without trying to interfere in the secular and religious life (for that reason these numerous invaders disappeared like grain of sand in the vast Indian sea), the Arabs, the Pushtuns and the Turks have tried to impose a new view of life and conception of the world, exemplified by the Islam, which would have over-live their physical existence. This turns into a real threat for the traditional culture of the country because the Islam creates a totalitarian culture that does not tolerate any other traditions and customs.

Where Islam settled, the traditional culture before long disappeared.. Those regions in which it outweighed, were brutally cut from the bosom of the Indian civilization and annexed to the Semitic. The bloody violence over the local population from the invaders, and also the treason of millions of Hindus, who betrayed the bequest of their own religions helped for the spreading of the new religion. Century by century the Arab doctrine spread around the country of the Vedas like a cancer in an diseased person in order to encompass in our days almost 30% of its population. If this expansion does not stop and 380 belief apostates of the subcontinent do not understand the character of the sin committed by their ancestors, India is threatened in the next 1-2 centuries to follow the destiny of the Zoroastrian Iran which 1300 years ago disgracefully surrendered to the warriors of the crescent moon.

Uncle Sam's Sanctimonious Meddling in India's affairs?
US commission urges India to punish perpetrators of Gujarat riots but is strangely silent of Islamic terrorism in Kashmir.

  "Muslims are the first victims of Islam. Many times I have observed in my travels in the Orient, that fanaticism comes from a small number of dangerous men who maintain the others in the practice of religion by terror. To liberate the Muslim from his religion is the best service that one can render him."

                                                                                       -  Ernest Renan (1845- 1892) French Philosopher.

The Sangh Parivar and Bharatiya Janata Party-led governments have come under severe attack from a US commission which said the Indian government should hold to account the perpetrators of the 2002 Gujarat riots to display the country's return to its tradition of religious tolerance. 

Although positive developments affecting freedom of religion and belief have been witnessed in the country since the United Progressive Alliance government came to power, the US Congress-mandated commission said, "Concerns about religious freedom in India remain" despite the "improved situation".  

In its annual report, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom said violence against minorities continues to occur in the states where BJP heads the government and names these as Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.

Abortion clinics, providers and workers often live in fear of Christian activists. When Muslim extremists place a bomb at a bus station in Israel, it is justifiably regarded as an act committed by "Muslim Terrorists." When are we going to wake up and recognize that similar acts here in USA are being committed by "Christian Terrorists?" Senator Trent Lott openly compared homosexuals with thieves, expressing the fundamental assumption that homosexuality is essentially criminal in nature and deserving of similar treatment. The website for Gary Bauer's Family Research Council speaks of "waging war against the homosexual agenda."

As Stephen Kinzer tells the story in Overthrow, America's century of regime changing began not in Iraq but Hawaii. Hawaii ? Indeed. Kinzer explains that Hawaii's white haole minority -- in cahoots with the U.S. Navy, the White House and Washington's local representative -- conspired to remove Queen Liliuokalani from her throne in 1893 as a step toward annexing the islands. The haole plantation owners believed that by removing the queen (who planned to expand the rights of Hawaii's native majority) and making Hawaii part of the United States, they could get in on a lucrative but protected mainland sugar market. Ever wonder why free trade has such a bad name? Over the decades, a version of this story repeats, and repeats. Kinzer, a New York Times reporter, writes that the United States has thwarted independence movements in Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Nicaragua; staged covert actions and coups d'etat in Iran, Guatemala, South Vietnam and Chile; and invaded Grenada, Panama and obviously Afghanistan and Iraq. Over 110 years, Kinzer argues, the United States has deployed its power to gain access to natural resources, stifle dissent and control the nationalism of newly independent states or political movements.

How Christian Evangelist target Hindu American students

"The divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity."

                                                                      - John Adams (1797- 1801) second president, American Statesman.

"Original sin was as ridiculous as imputed righteousness."

                                                                        - Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) First American diplomat. Refer to A Ph.D. thesis on Church planting movements in India – By Dane Winstead Fowlkes – East Texas Baptist University.

Gore Vidal, the eminent American historian, in his Lowell Lecture at Harvard University given April 20, 1996:

“From a barbaric Bronze Age text known as the Old Testament, three antihuman religions have evolved --Judaism, Christianity, Islam. These are sky-god religions. They are, literally, patriarchal --God is the omnipotent father-- hence the loathing of women for 2,000 years. The sky-god is a jealous god, of course. Those who would reject him must be converted or killed for their own good.

“When the white race broke out of Europe 500 years ago,… inspired by a raging sky-god, the whites were able to pretend that their conquests were in order to bring the One God to everyone, particularly those with older and subtler religions."

(source: Monotheism and its discontents - By Gore Vidal).

There is increasing evidence that Christian evangelical groups are aggressively targeting Hindu students in American college campuses for conversion. In fact, a sampling of Asian American-identified evangelical fellowship websites reveals mission statements targeting Asian and Asian American students for outreach and membership, while simultaneously affirming a non-race-specific evangelical identity.

One reason for the present renewed aggressive effort is that, unlike other Asian Americans, Hindu-Americans have staunchly resisted efforts at conversion. Also, unlike other Asian Americans who are becoming increasingly associated with evangelical Christianity on college campuses, Hindu-Americans have their own campus groups such as Hindu Students Federation.

Nevertheless, evangelical "parachurch" organizations like Campus Crusade for Christ (CCC), The Navigators, and IVCF are soliciting large numbers of students to their weekly bible studies, prayer meetings, and social events. There is no doubt that Asian Americans – especially Korean and Chinese - are becoming increasingly associated with evangelical Christianity on the college campus. The hope is that Indian-Americans will follow suit.

The main concern of the recently established Fellowship of South Asian Christians (organised at the Overseas Indians Congress on Evangelism) is the evangelization of South Asians living abroad. The organization acknowledges that it is gearing to become a dynamic force for evangelism among Hindus, scattered in countries other than their homeland.

The Institute of Hindu Studies, based in the Midwest, says its mission is to be “a resource base, strategy center and a facilitator of knowledge” by providing “reliable information on India, Hinduism and the Indian Diaspora.” The IHS says its vision is “To stimulate and encourage the growth of a culturally relevant movement for frontier missions among the 2,700 unreached, predominantly caste Hindu people groups existing mostly in India, but found throughout the world.”

Bhanu Christudas, a student at William Carey International University on the campus of the U.S. Center for World Mission, writes: 

I believe it is high time for us to concentrate our efforts on reaching the dear Hindu men and women around the world before this form of Satan's deception begins to devour millions more into its philosophy.” He asks fellow Christians: What is your part in reaching the Hindus for Christ?

Pax Americana: International peace, or perpetual turmoil?
John F Kennedy and India

Spurning world opinion, and disregarding the United Nations and its collective wisdom, the Anglo-American Coalition is in invasion mode. 49 countries are with this union. No, not great democracies, but nations, which are the size of the stamps they mint by the zillion. Some are mere dots on the Atlas, or doesn’t even have the population of a big Indian city, yet it is an equal partner to the 48 others like it who have collectively decided to play policeman. Just study the make-up of this motley group that is trying to usher in ‘democracy’: from Down Under come the Aussies, and Kiwis, they who snatched innocent aborigine babies from their mother’s breasts and crowded them into isolated 'halfway homes', yes sir, the very Kiwi New Zealanders who usurped Moari land and tradition and consigned them to footnotes in their  glorious Anglicised history books that stars the likes of Captain Cook.

No more covert CIA or MI covert operations now sir, not with Bushes and Blairs around, it is overt designs, to assassinate. They dropped bombs on Tripoli till Gaddafi’s daughter died of wounds, and now try the same on Baghdad. They divided Germany, and India, and Korea too. They broke up Laos, and Vietnam too. They have a finger in every pie, and another on every nuclear button. Indeed the Americans are funny people. They sermonize from pulpits on why India should sign the Non Proliferation Treaty, and yet their senate in its infinite wisdom refuses to let their own President endorse it. They scream from rooftops about Geneva Convention (when al Jazeera showed a few captive yanks, more a convincing proof of their capture by Iraqis: a fact that the coalition lied to the world about ‘none of our forces is missing’ they chimed till the network called their bluff)- Suddenly, now, it is Geneva.

 

  

John F Kennedy and the Peace Corps of America became a symbol of a benevolent and caring Super power.

***

All I know, is way back the Americans were nice people, bringing their volunteer Peace Corps workers to alleviate the suffering here. That the funds under PL 480 were graciously waived off from return. That ship loads of wheat and maize steamed in during the sixties to feed us…and that one John F Kennedy did mobilize a fleet into the Indian Ocean when Chinese army threatened to overrun India. Where is that American now?
