As my beast (my Scorpio) made its way relentlessly through unending monsoon drenched never ending wilderness of East Godavari District of AP, my wandering mind reflected on the happenings in far away Dhaka and Far away Kashmir. The purpose of my wandering trip was to become one with nature. An annual pilgrimage which I indulge myself along with my family to escape the rigors and happenings of daily life. But, happenings as mentioned above kept my thoughts occupied throughout. And, as I settle myself for a temporary breather back at my dwelling in Hyderabad, with the self indulgent monsoon rain dripping outside, the happenings mentioned above swirled back in my thoughts, and also the thoughts as to, what these happenings should mean to a resurgent India.
This brings us to three major questions. Is India indeed resurgent? Is the incident of Dhaka and the linking with Zakir Naik, worth breaking our head with? Is the killing of Burhan Wani by our Armed Forces in an encounter also worth breaking our head with?
My answer to the 1st query is, yes! Yes, India is indeed resurgent. Testimony of that is the spate of blogs and videos and many questions raised on Social Media against the activities of Burhan Wani & Zakir Naik. In fact, the feeling one got was that, Social Media was suddenly in spate. Like the Majestic Godavari in its full monsoon bloom. The liberals as usual seemed to be fighting a losing battle. But, their commitment to their cause has to be appreciated. At times, a singular warrior fighting away the onslaught of a horde tends to walk away with the honors. The liberals, specially the liberal media are standing their ground. Though their numbers fast dwindling, they seem to be showing a lot of resilience. It is becoming clearer now that, India has to deal with a new kind of fanaticism. Not a ‘coined’ phrase of Hindutva fanaticism, not an Islamic fanaticism, not a Church guided conversion fanaticism, or not the new age ISIS Fanaticism. But, a ‘Liberal-Secular’ fanaticism.
This new Liberal-Secular Fanaticism I sincerely believe could take the country into religious and civil conflict and unrest.
This again I sincerely believe is going to happen on or before 2019, which is on or before the next General Elections. There are many incidents which could be planned and executed. After all India is a Nation of many castes, creed and & cultures. It is very and extremely easy to ignite passions and tempers in a nation with such vast diversity. Examples like Akhlaq where the actual incident was that of Akhlaq’s son being targeted by the brother of the Hindu Girl being courted by him are likely to be repeated in various parts of the country. This brother being from the SP, and in an ideal incident of matching the Hindi phrase of ‘Behti Ganga me Haath Dho Lena’, keeping in mind the anti-Beef rhetoric of the BJP in those times, and conveniently laid the blame at the BJP’s doorstep by giving the incident a Beef angle.
Incidents like that of Dalits being thrashed in Gujarat by a Cow Protection Brigade. I have travelled to Gujarat several times over the past many years, and I know the place, language, culture and area like the back of my hand. A place which has never witnessed such an incident before. If one travel across Gujarat it becomes evident that even Muslims leave Cows alone. Let alone Dalits or anyone else. No one cares to investigate that it is the Hindu Dalits who have a permanent relationship with Cows, and towing Cows to an abattoir is the last thing on their mind. Unless of course they are converted Christians masquerading as Dalits, aka the Rohith Vemula Case. Where the Hyderabad HC has clearly stated that once a Hindu, whether, OC/BC/SC/ST converts they lose their caste status, including their Dalit Status, if any.
Many incidents are likely to be engineered an executed by a desperate Secular-Liberal Coalition. The Secular Parties plan and execute these incidents in their respective states. The Secular Media laps them up like there is actually no tomorrow. Latest in these planned programs is a BJP leader from UP conveying a slur against Madam Mayawati. Again a Dalit angle. The BJP was of course prompt to take action against this leader. But, the Liberal Media have already commenced the obituaries of the BJP in the 2017 UP Assembly Elections, courtesy these 2 incidents.
But, before we go further in this panned unrest being executed by the Secular Political Parties and their Liberal Media friends, let us also try to slightly stir the corpse of the Dhaka-Zakir Naik episode as well as the Burhan Wani episode.
I remember the huge building of Zakir Naik’s Islamic Research Foundation while taking the Mumbai Subway along the Harbor Line to visit any of my clients since my days in Mumbai during the early nineties. I always wondered that, being a Hindu, I have never seen or come across such a huge sprawling Campus dedicated to Hinduism similarly, in any part of India I had travelled in those days. Coming to think of it, even now. Such was the scale of appeasement politics of that time, and even now. During the same time, I happened to be scrolling the Channels of my Hotel Room TV, with the newly arrived feature of Cable TV. I happened to come across a discussion between Zakir Naik and a Saudi Cleric about the status of Sufis and Dargahs in India, Pakistan & Bangladesh.
Those days this guy was still young and it seemed he was trying to learn from the Saudi Cleric of how Sufis and Dargahs should be treated in the Sub-Continent. What I heard plainly shocked me. Both, the tutor and the disciple had little regard for anything un-islamic.
If that was their opinion on Sufis and Dargahs which are at least 50% Islam, then what could be their opinions on Hindus and other religions. This young disciple and eager learner of that time can now be easily considered as the World’s leading hate mongers and Terrorist Cultivator. That Zakir Naik is a Religious Thug of the highest order is confirmed by his forced over stay in Saudi due to the latest controversy of him radicalizing young Bangladeshis. The sooner the government moves legally against his IRF and his religious apparatus in India the better. He is better off in sight as he is now, rather than living among us as a free citizen carrying about his activities with unabated glee and freedom.
Burhan Wani should be a subtle reminder to us all Indians as to how un loyal and how selfish an average Kashmiri can be. These are the same Kashmiris who were reeling under the worst floods in the century, and who were helped by the newly formed Indian Government and the Indian Army to safety and to rebuild themselves with just the slightest of damage. Whereas, their own locally elected National Conference Government of Omar Abdullah had failed.
A fact, due to which he also lost the elections. The same floods also affecting the other side of the Kashmiri Divide in POK, where rescue and rehabilitation activities were so pitiful that, the Indian Government appealed to the Pak Government to allow them to help them in the activities. An offer which was later denied.
Kashmiris are living in a unique fool’s paradise. We hear about the classic proverbial ‘fool’s paradise’. But, Kashmiris seem to be leaving in a uique ‘fool’s paradise’. The basis of Kashmiriat is Sifuism. They are not strict Muslims like their Pak neighbors or other 130-150 Million Indian Muslims. The brand of Islam practiced by the Kashmiris is precisely the one which is despised by the Taliban and its splinter groups namely the LET, IM, ISIS, Al Qaeda, etc. Little do they realize that, if and one (A BIG ‘IF’) Kashmir gets freedom from India (as they dream), the Wahabis who lead the organizations named above who are helping them in their fake struggle will wipe out all Kashmiriat at the drop of the hat.
As I see, Kashmiriat is under a Big threat as we speak. Firstly, from the terrorists and their sympathizers who have seeped into Kashmiri society. Secondly, from a resurgent India who will never let go of this piece of land, which maybe a Hindu like me will never visit, but, is entrenched in my Mind, Body & Soul like an umbilical. If Kashmiris have to retain their Kashmiriat, it is in their best interest to surrender to the Indian State and it’s Governance. A Kashmiri should just visit Baluchistan to see how Baluchi culture has come under the onslaught of Wahabism, and against whom they are fighting a do-or-die battle. It is a huge but definite irony about, who will win? Baluchis against the Pakistani Punjabi dominated Wahabi Culture. Or, Kashmiris against Hindu Dominated Indian Culture.
There was an insane suggestion conveyed by a Baluchi Blogger to save Baluchistan and sever from Pakistan. His suggestion was that, entire Baluchistan should convert enmasse to Hinduism. That way, the Pakistani State cannot touch a hair on their bodies, since that would be classified as genocide.
If few Balochis start to convert to Hinduism here and there they will become easy target for the Wahabis and Wahabi/Punjabi dominated Pak Army, and others will be deterred seeing the fate of the converted. But, if entire Balochi Nation converts enmasse, then the UN and International Community steps in, and no one can touch a hair on them. Perhaps, it is time Kashmiris take a leaf of this Blogger’s book, and do the same to integrate themselves totally into Indian/Hindu Society.
Coming back to the Liberal Media, it is basically four or five who have held the Nation and a Billion Plus Resurgent dreams as hostage. They are are basically 4-5 Journalists. Is the solution to expose them and their corrupt lives the easiest solution? Like in the case of Tarun Tejpal. The entire media is witness how a certain female journalist is still carrying out her agenda uncontrolled and unchecked in spite of the Radia Tapes exposure of her role in Institutionalized Corruption. Then what is the solution?? The solution is to counter them in open televised debates by people who can hold their own against them. Rather these same journalists openly hold lop sided debates with skewed on the set participation by selected attendees. Ever notice that, not a single journalist has taken up the challenge of an open debate. All they keep doing is shoot and scoot, a policy which their pedigree Arvind Kejriwal seems to be following aptly.
I would like to be the 1st person to challenge them to a ‘Televised’ debate one by one, covered by Media channels throughout the country in each and every language. Hopefully this challenge shall be in a series of challenges these ordinary degree passed, fluent English speaking Convent educated Journos will face in the new Resurgent India. I might fail. But others might pass. But knowing myself, I don’t think I will.
This is the only way to nip the bud of counter-resurgence.
