LETTER TO NEWS INDIA TIMES, NEW YORK                          May 18, 2013

 

Dear Editor,

On behalf of the Indian American Intellectual Forum and its entire national and international constituency I want to convey that we are appalled upon using purposely a divisive and mischievous title “Dalit Leader Named Chief Minister of Karnataka” (News India Times, dated May 16^th) by your reporter. We are convinced that this title is politically motivated, mean, mendacious, malicious and a diabolical attempt designed to create a wedge in Hindu society and fragmentize it to the advantage of the establishment.

If your reporter was interested in igniting a new class warfare based on societal divisions that previously existed in the Indian and Hindu society in all fairness he should not have ignored the appointment and placement of the selective minority individuals by Mrs. Sonia Gandhi in highly sensitive positions in the government in office. Trampling upon the sentiments of the majority of Indians she has quietly handed over most crucial and extremely important portfolios to her pet individuals from Muslims and Christians communities. Here are some examples.

Salman Khurshid, Foreign Minister of India; E. Ahmad, India’s Minister for External Affairs; Syed Akbarddin, the spokesman for the Ministry of External Affairs; Chief of Intelligence Bureau, Syed Asif Ibrahim; Chief Justice of India, Altmas Kabir; Attorney General of India, Goolam E. Vahanvati; Vice President of India Mohammed Hameed Ansari; Health Minister Gulam Nabi Aza;, Union Minister Farooq Abdullah, K. Rahman Khan, Sonia Gandhi’s political Advisor Ahmad Patel all are Muslims. Former Chief Election Commissioner of India, S.Y. Qureshi was also a Muslim.

Isn't it ironic that your reporter while reporting about these pet individuals of Sonia Gandhi  never identified them as Muslims, Sunnis, Shiias or Christians. Can it be an inadvertent error?

Sonia Gandhi, her son Rahul Gandhi, Defense Minister A.K. Anthony, Air Chief Marshall Norman Anil Kumar Browne all are Christians. However, strangely enough their identification is never made by referring to their religion or Jati. Could it also be a mistake?

The Dalits, as is universally acknowledged, are an integral part of the Hindu Samaj. Quietly and constructively Hindu society has been at work for bringing about social reformation so that  justice and equality become  a part of every body  including those who for one or the other reason have thus far been denied such rights.  Included in the scheme of this massive transformation are those who were classified as unprivileged. We are determined to make equality,  justice,  national unity and patriotism four central pillars of Indian's modern civilization. Alas! your reporter failed to recognize these characteristics in the New Indian Society. Clearly your reporter’s intention smacks of mala-fide intention. We have not seen any news report loudly proclaiming that Sonia and Rahul are Catholic Christians, and that Salman Khurshid, Altmas Kabir and all others mentioned above are Muslims.

A doubt has crept in our minds that some anti-Hindu Communists, communalists and far left guys entrenched in top most positions in Media are deliberately sowing the seeds of disintegration and conflict in Hindu Samaj. They twist and craft their items in such a way as to serve their sinister and evil designs.

We firmly believe that your reporter has done a great disservice to his profession and more importantly to Hindu Samaj. It is incomprehensible as to what on earth prompted him to damage Hindu Society. Instead of drafting and highlighting his news item negatively the reporter could have done a great service to his profession by staying on facts, projecting positivity and by helping the ongoing efforts by millions of Hindu volunteers towards unification and revitalization of the entire Hindu Society.

SUJATA PATIL, A POLICE INSPECTOR AT MATUNGA, MUMBAI TO BE SUSPENDED AND PUT IN JAIL?

SUJATA PATIL,  A POLICE  INSPECTOR  AT MATUNGA, MUMBAI TO BE SUSPENDED AND PUT IN JAIL?

 

Secularist (sickularist!) and anti-national forces in India in collaboration with anti-Hindu Congress government  are ganging up and conspiring to put Sujata Patil in jail for writing a poem in an internal Police magazine.  In that poem  Sujata  Patil had described the hoodlums who had vandalized the war  memorial  at Mumbai,  as “Traitors” and “Snakes”. 

 

The aim of this insidious activity is to demoralize, frighten and terrorize Hindus.

 

"SUDARSHAN TV”  in India has started a campaign in support of Sujata  Patil.  Please have a look at the videos and subscribe to Sudarshan TV:

SHENANIGANS OF GIRISH KARNAD

Shenanigans of Girish Karnad

Narain Kataria in New York

I was shocked at the vituperative tirade and disgustingly ignoble attacks in Mumbai the other day by Playwright Girish Karnad on learned Nobel Laureate V.S. Naipal for being anti-Muslim and tone deaf.

His assertion that the Islamic period of Indian history was rich and glorious period is based on false assumptions. It is devoid of factual data, motivated by a malicious design to obscure and falsify Indian history, mislead public opinion, and is just a preposterous nonsense.

In reality, the Islamic period of Indian History was a very dark and dismal period so far as the Hindus are concerned. It was a period of resistance, suffering and suffocation for Hindus. Islamic vandalism was so stark in its evil, so barbarian in its nature and so enormous in its magnitude that it demands eternal condemnation. Mr. V.S. Naipal has rendered a yeomen service to Hindu Samaj and deserves our kudos for telling the truth and enlightening us about the murder and mayhem perpetrated by uncivilized brutes on hapless Hindus.

For the information of readers and Mr. Girish Karnad, I give below some factual accounts of savagery and barbarism provided by Islamic/British chroniclers.

Babur was a beast. He used to derive sadistic pleasure by watching heads of slaughtered Hindus. "I ordered that a tower of Hindu heads be set up on the ground." (Babur Nama, translated into English by A.S. Beveridge, p. 370)
 

Akbar was the slaughterer of Hindus. Jahangir, whose earlier name was Salim, wrote in his autobiography "Tarikh-i-Salim Shahi" that under Akbar and Jahangir "five to six hundred thousand (500,000 to 600,000) Hindus were killed." (Tarikh-i-Salim: Trans. By Price, pp. 225-6).

In relation to Akbar’s conquest in Chittor (Rajputana), Abul Fazl recorded that "following Akbar’s order, eight thousand Rajput warriors were first disarmed and then slain and along with them forty thousand peasants were also slain." (The Islamic treatment of PoW, Surah 8, Ayat 67, the Quran) (Akbarnama by Abul Fazl translated into English by H. Beveridge)
 

Abbas Khan Sherwani in his chronicle Tarikh-i-Farishtah recorded: "The Hindoos were pursued and slain by (Muslim) allies with such success, that the river was dyed red with their blood. It is computed by the best authorities, that above one hundred thousand (100,000) infidels were slain during the action and in pursuit.”

It is a well-known historical fact that during the Jahangir’s rule in India, our fifth Guru Arjun Dev was made to sit on a hot iron plate. Hot sand was poured over his body. Our tenth Guru Gobind Singh`s two young sons were bricked alive by Islamists. Many Sikh saints were sawed alive. Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib was put into a cage and his head was chopped off because he refused to convert to Islam.

In recent history, the Indian Muslims were responsible for the partition of our Motherland in 1947. Muslims forced Hindus to cede Sind, West Punjab, Balochistan, North West Frontier and East Pakistan. They gleefully warned Hindus: “Has ke Liya Hi Pakistan, Ladke Lenge Hindustan.” After the creation of Pakistan, a reign of loot, murder, rape and terror was unleashed against Hindus and Sikhs. Muslims drove out 10 million Hindus from Pakistan. Thus, they reduced the Hindu population in Pakistan from 23% in 1947 to 1% now. In Bangladesh the, Hindu population was reduced from 35-40% in 1947 to 8-9% now.

After consolidating their position, the Muslims turned their eyes on Kashmir. They tortured Hindu to such an extent that more than 400,000 Hindus fled their homes and hearths there. Now, the Muslims want to get rid of Hindus living in Jammu also.

In 1971, more than 3 million people were killed in Bangladesh, out of which 80% were Hindus. More than 30 million Bangladeshi Muslims have already illegally infiltrated into India. Muslim population in Assam is increasing with leaps and bounds. The situation has reached alarming proportions, and soon a Kashmir-like situation could arise there too. 
 Mr. Karnad seems to be a totally disingenuous and biased person. A feeling has crept in my mind that the guy is either suffering from cognitive disorder or from Stockholm syndrome – a tragic psychological phenomenon in which the hostages express empathy and have a positive feeling towards their captors.

In face of such a voluminous and irrefutable evidence about the Islamic brutalities, Mr. Karnad has an audacity to state that Islamic period of Indian history was rich and glorious. Before putting his foot in his mouth, Mr. Karnad should have acquainted himself with the true History of India. By his idiosyncratic behavior, he has lowered his stature, exposed his abysmal knowledge about history and made himself a laughing stock in the eyes of all learned people.
