Hindu nazis leading anti-Islamic crusades inside & outside India?
An article by Subodh Atal, Lalit Koul, Sunil Fotedar, “Treating the symptom?” in the Outlook (July 23, 2001) circulated by Stimpson Institute to its regular readership, reveals the policy attitude of the India’s Hindu nazi party BJP and other Hindu nazis in India. It distorts history with a purpose. Muslim political opinion was divided into three groups in the period leading up to and including the Il World War. There were those (like Khaksar, Ahrar and other religious groups) who wanted to restore the imperial power to the Muslims so that the civilizing role of Islam in the caste-based repressive society was resumed. There were those who wanted to transform British empire in India into a secular nation state. In the end, neither #succeeded.
Largest Hindu state: The II-World War brought the era of imperialism irreversibly to an end. There was no likelihood of the Mogul Empire being resurrected of the past even more remote in history. Most of the Muslims nor any other mythical Hindu empire of India discarded the imperial model and accepted the idea of nation state.
The British established the largest Hindu state in history and gave it a new post imperial national polity. A foundation for the end of civilization conflict between Islam and Hinduism in South Asia was laid. Many prominent leaders of India, notably Pandit Nehru, it first Prime Minister, and Dr. Ambedkar, the author of 1the first Constitution of India, accepted the two-nation theory of Pakistan. They considered it beneficial also for non-Muslims as it constituted the acceptance of the idea of nation-state by both countries thus bringing the civilizational conflict in South Asia to an end.
The Hindu nazi party, however, did not accept the two-nation theory then, its political reincarnation — the BJP – does not accept it even now. A Hindu nazi leader, Nathuram Godse, assassinated M.K. Gandhi and India went back on its promise to Kashmiris to allow them to decide their political future by a plebiscite in 1958. The reason given by Nehru for going back on his word was Pakistan entering an alliance with the USA. Now that the situation is reversed (it is India not Pakistan who *is an ally of the USA) the Kashmiris are still no nearer to being allowed to exercise their right of self-determination.
Although the change started under the Congress rule, India today is embarked on resumption of civilizational conflict between Islam and Kufr. India’s polity is based on hatred — avenging the humiliation of a thousand years — and it wants the West to join it in its crusade against Islam. There is very little likelihood of an imperial polity resulting in any benefit for India, but its people would have to suffer internal conflict and war in pursuit of the imperial mirage. I take the words and implications of the Outlook article seriously. In commenting on Agra summit, it said:
…Ending of cross-border terrorism is indeed a valid posture for India. However, we believe that this is where the Indian Government failed miserably in identifying the boundaries of the subcontinental dispute. Cross-border terrorism is after all only a symptom. The malaise is much deeper, and it is the same that forced the 1947 partition, the persecution and “hounding out of Pundits from the Valley, the mistreatment of Hindus in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the eternal feuds of the Muslim populations of Palestine, Chechnya, etc. with non-Muslims of those regions, the Bin Laden phenomenon and many more. This malaise is religious fundamentalism. It has already spread to other parts of India in the form of Islamic extremist forces such as SIM! and Deendar Anjuman. it is the same malaise that prompted Jinnah to declare that “We shall have India divided or we shall have India destroyed”. It is the same malaise that prompts many Pakistanis to say that “Hans ke Liya, Pakistan/lad ke layenge Hindustan”. The Pakistan-sponsored fundamentalist violence that started in Kashmir valley in 1980 also appears to have set in motion a vicious cycle of Hindu and Muslim communal incidents across India including the mosque demolition and the Bombay blasts and riots. By negotiating on the symptom, not the malaise, the Indian Government has missed a rare opportunity to paint Pakistan in its true colours while allowing Musharraf to gain legitimacy and stature the rest of the world denies to him. Kashmiri Pundits realize the depth of the problem having been the victim of 53 years (and several centuries) of Islamic fundamentalism, the rest of India may wake up when it gets balkanized between Islamic and Hindu extremists.
The article presents the struggle for freedom in Palestine, Kashmir and Chechenya as eternal feuds of Muslims with non-Muslims. India sees itself in the forefront of conflict with Islam-internally as well as internationally. India is going to make a lot of trouble for a lot of Muslim countries for a long time.
