IT IS HIGHTIME …HINDUS MUST ASSERT THEMSELVES OR PERISH UNDER THE GARB OF PSEUDO SECULARISM

Prof Dr Colonel K Prabhakar Rao.( Retired)

The recent incidents of arrest at Hyderabad of Nasiruddin an accused in the murder of Hiten Pandya a minister in Gujrat State should be an eye opener to all the States in India. Hyderabad city police on murder charges arrested Nasiruddin and his arrest has stirred his followers to gate crash into the Office of Police commissioner demanding his release. Even Burkha clad ladies along with ruffians and antisocial elements could enter the secured office the city police Chief demanding the release of the accused. The fact that these incidents could take place with all the agitators managing to travel and enter the secured office speaks very low of the city intelligence network. More trouble was to follow soon. The accused was to be handed over to the team of police from Gujrat as he was facing charges in Gujrat. Again there was a serious trouble in front of the office of the Director General of Police when the followers of Nasiruddin collected and tried to forcibly take away Nasiruddin from the custody of Gujrat Police. When things were going out of control, A police officer of Gujrat opened four rounds of fire from his service revolver resulting in death of a youth named Mojahid, a close relative of Nasiruddin.There was a hue and cry in the city and trouble erupted in Saidabad colony during funeral procession of the deceased.
These incidents throw light on certain issues. How could the agitators first demand release of the accused at the office of Police Commissioner and then try to snatch way him from the custody of Gujrat Police at the office of DGP. A section of people have started believing that they can get away by doing any thing in India under the garb of secularism. More over, constant pampering of a section by our pseudo secularists has resulted in these situations where these offenders have shown least respect to the law enforcing agencies in the State.
The recent report of Commission enquiring the Godhra carnage has come out with a new revelations stating that the fire in the bogies at Godhra was not caused by any arsonists but was the result of accidental fire. The fire resulted in death of many Hindu travellers and the outcome of the tragedy is well known to all. Most of the people ask how a commission now could establish that the Godhra fire was only an accident. With fall of NDA Govt at center, the pseudo secular forces are again on rise that finds ways and means to appease the minorities to gain sympathy and vote banks. The appeasement of minorities right from the days of struggle for independence finally had resulted in partition of greater India and our country and people are still suffering the effects. Unfortunately, the leaders who are at the helm of affairs are more worried about the catching of votes than the welfare and safety of the nation, a great tragedy indeed. Our leaders, who were more worried of their image as secularists than the safety of the nation, frittered away the advantages inspite of winning the wars in 1965, 1971 and at Kargil. Where they are leading us? Most probably to disaster.
In free India Hindu sentiments have always come under repression under attack by Govt forces that trek the path of pseudo secularism. The demolition of ancient 1000 Pillar structure at Tirumala by Govt during a plan of modernization and widening has come as a shock to all. But none opened their mouth. There was only one protest from His holiness China jiyyar Swamy. It is very sad that our pontiffs themselves differed on the issue. There were many contradicting the Swamy from other Mutts. The question asked by many right-thinking persons was whether the Govt could take such a step incase of any Masjid arbitrarily. Probably, the country would burn. This is only an example and tip of iceberg. In free India, Hindu sentiments were always crushed under the garb of secularism while others were pampered.
The recent tragic part is the ineptness of Hindus of this country during the arrest and humiliation of his Holiness Swami Jayendra Saraswathi of Kanchi Mutt by Tamilnadu police. Tamil nadu police arrested the Swamiji who was at Mahbubnagar on a religious tour at midnight and took him away to Chennai by special flight. The Chennai police claimed that the Pontiff charged for murder would have escaped to Nepal if he was not arrested. A ridiculous logic that cannot stand to any reason. They claimed that a helicopter lay ready for his escape that under any case could not have flown him to Nepal without refuelling on the way. The worst part is that the Swamiji was denied bail by chain of courts. The astonishing part is that the notorious criminals charged for treason more heinous than a murder, rapists, murderers, swindlers, scamsters and dacoits are roaming freely in this nation without any fear and after getting bail. A criminal like Veerappan who committed scores of murders was left almost free for two decades in the forests of Tamilnadu and Karnataka. In such scenerio, a religious head of a most pious Mutt worshipped by all the Hindus and aged eighty years could not be granted a bail, Really a point to ponder over by all. The murder charge was pressed against the Swamiji as a bolt from blue and as things go on, it is most likely that the Swamiji would come out clean from all allegations. There is a wide belief in all circles that the Mutt and the Swamiji have been made targets by some evil men, atheists and parties to defame them and to take control over the mutt. Why a pontiff and Mutt became sudden targets? Tamilnadu police and Govt state that the law is above all. There is no doubt about it and all would agree. But why step motherly treatment to Swamiji? Can our Govt take similar action against the religious head of a big mosque or a renowned Mullah under similar situation? Definitely not capable in present scenerio, even a child would answer in negative in sleep. A normal criminal like
Nasiruddin after arrest could evoke such a reaction in Hyderabad. Could the Govt take action against the Shahi Imam of Jama Maszid when he made anti national statements when Tailbans destroyed Bamiyan Buddhas? Why Govt swallowed the episode when some minority leaders opposed singing of Vandemataram in Parliament? The saddest part is that there was no wide clamor and indignation among the majority community in India. This is a very typical of Hindu community. This is not a new phenomenon. This community was always very passive to all the happenings around them. Hindu community never stood as one against any invader in the past too. The Hindu soldier never fought for his religion and faith. They fought more for the loyalty and for those who employed them. As a result, all invaders right from the days of Alexander the great to the Europeans enslaved India in the past. Majority of Hindus are self-centered and the middle class sector is the major contributor in this respect. In the minority community, the middle class is literally absent, They are either well to do are poor. The entire minority community in which well to do are very few react as one unit on all religious matters and this is the strongest reason for the partition of our country. Hindus are divided along various castes, parties and regions while minority community is free of these problems. For them, religion is ultimate. The betrayal by Muslim Generals along with their troops in Tallikota battle fought on 23 Jan 1565 between Ramaraya of Vijaynagar Empire and the confederation Army of Deccani Sultans resulted in death of Ramaraya on battlefield and destruction of Hampi and Vijayanagar that can be seen even today. The Deccani Sultans who fought each other tooth and nail came together and made religion as the main issue and declared a jihad on Hindu empire and succeeded in destroying it. Throughout the Indian History, there is no evidence of Hindu confederation army that made religion as the main issue and fought battles with Muslims. Hindu kings, Rajas and chieftains always fought within themselves and never made any common cause in such a long Indian History. There is only a small bright period of 10 years from 1323 to 1334 in South India when Prolayya Naika followed by Kapayya naika ably supported by Prolaya Vema Reddy, Singama Naika of Rachakonda and Veera Ballala of Karnataka fought Muslim troops and defeated Malik Maqbool who was the Governor at Warangal appointed by Mohd Tughlaq, the ruler at Delhi after capturing Warangal from Kakati Prataparudradeva.They were instrumental in laying the foundation for Vijaynagar Empire along with Harihara and Bukkaraya at the behest of saint Vidyaranya Swamy. Thus, Hindus themselves are to be blamed for their position and sufferings today in free India where Some Hindus felt ashamed of being called Hindu. The saddest part is that Hindus do not want to identify themselves with any issue or cause that is likely to be called as religious issue. A tragedy indeed. Then why blame others? It is high time now for all Hindus to identify themselves with their faith and assert themselves instead of being just fence sitters and mere opportunistic watchers. Unless the attitude changes, India might face another partition. The community would continue to suffer and would be soon bull dozed by the pseudo secular forces in India who are pampering the minorities and leading the nation to disaster and doom. It happened earlier and continues to follow the footsteps of those who vanished into History. Hidus must learn to fight for their faith that they have not done for centuries.
