What destroyed Buddhism – Hinduism or Islam?

Earlier, the Hindu claims of Hindu temples lying beneath mosques built during Islamic invasions/ occupation were laughed off as saffron whims of PN Oak. Romila Thapars and DN Jhas had established the ‘historical facts’ in our minds that Mughals were nation-builders and persecution of Hindus by Islamic rulers, breaking of temples, conversion of masses and worship places, enslavement of women, killing of Kafirs etc are exaggerations of right wing hate-mongers. Though every other page of (auto)biographies by Muslim invaders or their sycophants stood as testimony to what right winger hate mongers said.

Something has changed suddenly. Hindus have started asserting their right to inquire about their lost temples. A videography of Gyanvapi Masjid’s interior has stripped all Bhaichara claims of Jhas & Thapars suddenly. Clear evidences of destroyed Hindu idols, lotus, saffron images, Hindu motifs inscribed on Masjid walls have emerged. A few-feet tall Shivling is clearly seen inside well of Masjid’s Wazukhana positioned exactly in the direction pointed by Nandi.

With such overwhelming testimonies in support of Hindu claims of Gyanwapi being a demolished temple, the cabal of Islamists, liberals & communists has started another shameless propaganda.

Hindus demolished Buddhist temples. If Mughals were invaders, so were Hindus.

It’s like this: If you catch a thief while stealing your stuff, instead of apologizing and returning it, he asks you to prove that you haven’t stolen someone’s stuff 50 years ago!

Logic says those ‘Muslim sites’ that have clear Hindu footprints must be returned to Hindus. In view of strange nature of Muslim sites that they are always found in vicinity of an old Hindu worship place (this phenomenon is not restricted to Hindu places/ India alone. Israel, Turkey, Arab, China, Iran etc have innumerable ‘disputed’ places where mosques are built over worship places of Buddhists, Pagans, Jews, Zoroastrians & Christians), it’s imperative to get all pre-partition ‘Muslim sites’ examined from inside in interest of truth, peace, and brotherhood.

Dr Mahender Thakur on Twitter: "Qutb Minar complex Delhi: Quwwat-ul-islam  mosque was built after demolishing 27 Hindu- Jain Temples. Clear cut  mentioned in this Inscription. #SanataniYoddha https://t.co/TSAtSAKVo1" /  Twitter
ASI’s inscription on Quwwat ul Islam (Might of Islam) Masjid at Qutub Minar, Delhi reads – “The structure was erected by Qutubuddin Aibak using ruins of 27 Hindu and Jain temples”

There have been famous ‘Muslim’ sites which were constructed over demolished Hindu temples on which Hindus never gave up their claims ever since they were built. Ram Mandir, Kashi Vishvanath, Mathura Krishna Jamabhumi to name a few. Crores of Hindus continued to believe and tried to get those places back from Muslim invaders. Are there any Hindu sites that have been claimed as Buddhists’ for centuries with such widespread belief and consistent struggle spanning over centuries?

If there are any Buddhist places ‘captured’ by Hindus anywhere, a separate legal course can and must be adopted. I hardly know any Buddhist who claims any Hindu temple to be theirs that was forcibly captured and converted into Hindu place. There might be exceptions. A proper archeological study must be conducted at proven disputed places and the concerned place must go to its original faith.

However, raking up the non-existent Buddhist-Hindu issue now out of nowhere has deeper designs.

1. To trap Hindus in guilt of being invaders just like Muslims so that they give up claims on Hindu sites under Islamic occupations

2. To fuel Hindu-Buddhist divide to weaken India. Divide & rule

Let’s examine the claims of Islamists of Buddhist persecution by Hindus. Let’s also see if Hinduism and Buddhism are indeed at odds. Let’s also declutter the sudden motherly love Islamists have induced for Buddhists and their temples ‘destroyed by Hindus’. You be the judge.

1. Islam destroyed Buddhism. Did you know But (idol) – greatest sin in Islam is Arabic corruption of Buddha?

Dr B R Ambedkar, a Buddhist himself, writes [1]

There can be no doubt that the fall of Buddhism in India was due to the invasions of the Musalmans. Islam came out as the enemy of the ‘But’. The word ‘But’ as everybody knows is an Arabic word and means an idol. Not many people however know what the derivation of the word ‘But’ is the Arabic corruption of Buddha. Thus the origin of the word indicates that in the Moslem mind idol worship had come to be identified with the Religion of the Buddha. To the Muslims, they were one and the same thing. The mission to break the idols thus became the mission to destroy Buddhism. Islam destroyed Buddhism not only in India but wherever it went.

Before Islam came into being, Buddhism was the religion of Bactria, Parthia, Afghanistan, Gandhar and Chinese Turkestan, as it was of the whole of Asia. In all these countries Islam destroyed Buddhism. As Vicent Smith points out: “The furious massacre perpetrated in many places by Musalman invaders were more efficacious than Orthodox Hindu persecutions, and had a great deal to do with the disappearance of Buddhism in several provinces (of India),”…

Islam attacked both, Bramhanism and Buddhism. It will be asked why should one survive and the other perish. The argument is plausible but not destructive of the validity of the thesis. To admit that Bramhanism survived, it does not mean that the fall of Buddhism was not due to the sword of Islam. All that it means is that, there were circumstances which made it possible for Bramhanism and impossible for Buddhism to survive the onslaught of Islam…

The Musalman invaders sacked the Buddhist Universities of Nalanda, Vikramasila, Jagaddala, Odantapuri to name only a few. They razed to the ground Buddhist monasteries with which the country was studded. The Monks fled away in thousands to Napal, Tibet and other places outside India. A very large number were killed outright by the Muslim commanders. How the Buddhist priesthood perished by the sword of the Muslim invaders has been recorded by the Muslim historians themselves.

Summarizing the evidence relating to the slaughter of the Budhist Monks perpetrated by the Musalman General in the course of his invasion of Bihar in 1197 A.D. Mr. Vincent Smith says: “The Musalman General, who had already made his name a terror by repeated plundering expeditions in Bihar, seized the capital by a daring stroke… Great quantities of plunder were obtained, and the slaughter of the ‘shaven headed Brahmans’ that is to say the Buddhist monks, was so thoroughly completed, that when the victor sought for some one capable of explaining the contents of the books in the libraries of the monasteries, not a living man could be found who was able to read them. ‘It was discovered’ we are told, ‘that the whole of that fortress and city was a college, and in the Hindi tongue they call a college Bihar.”

Such was the slaughter of the Buddhist priesthood perpetrated by the Islamic invaders. The axe was struck at the very root. For by killing the Buddhist priesthood Islam killed Buddhism. This was the greatest disaster that befell the religion of Buddha in India.. The sword of Islam fell heavily upon the priestly class. It perished or it fled outside India. Nobody remained to keep the flame of Buddhism burning… After the massacre of the Buddhist priests, ordination became impossible so that the priesthood almost ceased to exist.

The reason why Brahmanism rose from the ashes and Buddhism did not, is to be accounted for, not by any inherent superiority of Brahmanism over Buddhism. It is to be found in the peculiar character of their priesthood. Buddhism died because its army of priests died and it was not possible to create. Though beaten it was never completely broken. Every Brahmin alive became priest and took the place of every Brahmin priest who died.

As to the conversion to the faith of Islam by the Buddhist population as a cause of the fall of Buddhism, there can hardly be much doubt. Unfortunately, the causes that have forced the Buddhist population of India to abandon Buddhism in favour of Islam have not been investigated and it is therefore impossible to say how far the persecution of the Brahmanic Kings was responsible for the result.”

So, according to Dr Ambedkar,

  • Greatest sin – But (idol) in Islam is derivative of Buddh! Such inbuilt hatred for Buddhism in Islam!
  • Sword of Islam attacked both Hinduism and Buddhism
  • Islam destroyed Buddhism not just in India but also in Afghanistan, Iran, Central Asia, and China
  • Islam slaughtered Buddhists
  • Islamic invaders burned Buddhist universities
  • Islamic invaders destroyed Buddhist temples
  • Islamic sword slaughtered Buddhist priests and literature
  • Islamic sword converted Buddhists to Islam
  • Role of persecution of Buddhists by Brahmanic kings that led to conversion of Buddhists to Islam needs more evidences

Dr Ambedkar completely bulldozes the recently fabricated ‘Buddhist genocide by Hinduism’ parallel of real ‘Hindu-Buddhist genocide by Islam’ Islamists and their leftist/liberal slaves have tried to push as ‘established historical facts’.

Dr Ambedkar has discussed stories of a few individual kings linked with possible Buddhist persecution. But it wasn’t counted as reason for destruction of Buddhism anywhere. Dr Ambedkar strongly believed preferential treatment of some class (castes) over others (including Buddhists) was strong reason for conversion of masses to Islam.

I completely agree with this and will elaborate in some other article in future. Birth discrimination in form of castes, colors, regions, races has to result in conversion/destruction one day. Sword of Islam could have never succeeded in India had Hindus been following Vedic Karma-based Varna instead of the stupid birth-castes that have no mention in entire Vedas. However, it’s no way exonerating sword of Islam from butchery it unleashed on Hindu-Buddhists. It’s only to analyse internal factors that held back native Dharmics – Hindu-Buddhists – from giving decisive retaliatory blow to the invading sword of Islam.

2. Buddhism is branch of Bharatiya tradition of Vedic Dharma

Mahatma Buddha was born in Vedic Dharma. Like a true reformer of Dharma, he is said to have opposed anti-Vedic violent rituals of animal slaughter prevalent at that time. He was completely in accordance with Vedas that prohibit any slaughter of any animal in any manner by anyone. The very first Mantra of Yajurved says – प॒शून् पा॒हि॒ [१/१] – Don’t kill animals. His differences with ‘powerful traditional elite’ of his times makes him special.

3. Mahatma Buddha is 9th Avatar of Bhagvan Vishnu as per Hinduism!

Hindus never saw Buddhism as a separate religion. Hindus called Buddha Bhagvan Buddha and declared him 9th incarnation of Lord Vishnu! Is this how oppressor religions behave? Has Islam acknowledged any Mahapurush from outside Arabia as prophet? Do they revere Ram, Krishna, Buddha etc as Avataras or even prophets? Islam named its greatest sin ‘But-बुत’ after Buddha’s name instead! Can you see the contrast?

4. Mahatma Buddha propagated Vedic concepts of Dharma (Dhamma), Dhyana, Karma, Yog, Yam, Niyam

Mahatma Buddha rejected mindless ritualism. That doesn’t mean he left Dharma. All his life, he propagated concepts of Vedas that polish one’s Aatma from within which is the sole purpose of Dharma. Karma, Yog, Yam & Niyam are foundations that Buddha propagated like a true son of Mother Dharma.

5. Historical conflicts between Hindus and Buddhists, if any, were sectarian, not religious

As explained above, Hindus revered Mahatma Buddha as 9th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Hence they never saw Buddha as an outsider or his teachings as some other faith. Buddhism was never a separate religion for Hindus. It was another version of Vaishnavism – popular sect of Hinduism. Hence, conflict of Buddhists with ‘Hindus’, if any, had to be a ‘Vaishnav vs Shaiva’ struggle that was prominent at that time. Even the non-Buddhist Hindus competed as Vaishnava vs Shaiva. When your history spans over millennia, such groupings and conflicts are inevitable.

But to give this intra-Dharmic tussle an inter-religious twist is favorite job of jobless leftists. They would go to any extent to whitewash Islamic brutality in history and blame Hindus instead for non-existent ‘ongoing genocide of Muslims’. They would always fabricate a version of history that divides Dharmic natives and establishes foreign invaders as fathers of India. These slaves of barbarians have vested interests in promoting history that divides country and suppressing one that unites it.

6. Do Hindus hate Buddhism? Do Muslims love Buddhism?

Millions of Hindus have been choosing their names as Buddh Prakash and Siddharth for centuries. How many Muslims have named their kids after Mahatma Buddha?

Why were Buddhist city names never changed by Hindus? How many Hindu-Buddhist places names remain as original in Afghanistan/ Pakistan/ Central Asia?

Why are there so many functional Buddhist temples in Hindu majority India if Hindus were so out to destroy Buddhism? How many Buddhist temples are standing in Muslim majority Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Central Asia today? How many are functional?

7. Who bombed Bamiyan Buddha Statues?

The shameless attempt by Islamists to blame Hindus for genocide of Buddhists is actually to hide the massacre of Buddhists of past and even present by sword of Islam. Imagine, just 20 years ago, Islamic rulers of Afghanistan bombed monumental Buddha statues to dust. They even video-recorded and spread it across world. Imagine what these Islamists must have done in last 1400 years when there were no videos, human rights and international coverage?

8. Hindus persecute(d) Buddhists but Dalai Lama took shelter in India!

If Hindus persecute(d) Buddhists, why did Dalai Lama come to India when he was forced to leave his own country, Tibet? Why didn’t he go to any Islamic country? After all Islamists have real pain for Buddhists, no?

9. If Muslims were invaders in India, so were Aryas (Hindus)?

Owaisi, Madani, Islamists and leftists are hell bent on calling Aryas (Hindus) invaders who subjugated native Daas/ Dasyus/ Aadivasis/ Dravidas. This is again to absolve themselves of the invader-guilt in eyes of others. What if Muslims are invaders? Hindus too are! Hence it justifies all Islamic occupations in form of mosques over ancient temples, all atrocities and genocide unleashed on native Hindus. Don’t ask us any questions about Islamic invasion! Don’t you dare ask us to return your temples. You too invaded India just like us!

In reality, Aryan Invasion Theory (AIT) has been discarded long back by all sane historians, linguists, and scientists. Dr B R Ambedkar’s views on AIT sums it all. He concludes his research as follows [2]:

The Aryan race theory is so absurd that it ought to have been dead long ago. But far from being dead, the theory has a considerable hold upon the people.. The conclusions that follow from the examination of the Western theory may now be summarized. They are:

1. The Vedas do not know any such race as the Aryan race.

2. There is no evidence in the Vedas of any invasion of India by the Aryan race and its having conquered the Dasas and Dasyus supposed to be natives of India.

3. There is no evidence to show that the distinction between Aryans, Dasas and Dasyus was a racial distinction.

4. The Vedas do not support the contention that the Aryas were different in colour from the Dasas and Dasyus.

ENOUGH has been said to show how leaky is the Aryan theory expounded by Western scholars and glibly accepted by their Brahmin fellows. Yet, the theory has such a hold on the generality of people that what has been said against it may mean no more than scotching it. Like the snake it must be killed.”

Read again – Dr Ambedkar said – Aryan Invasion Theory is like a snake; it must be killed!

In a nutshell, all historical, factual, and circumstantial evidences puncture the hollow rants of ‘Buddhist genocide by Hindus’ and ‘Hindus are also invaders’ uttered by Islamist blabbers and jobless leftists. Dr BR Ambedkar, a Buddhist himself – whose picture and constitution these anarchist vultures carry on their shoulders in every anti-Indian protests in JNU, Jamia, AMU, Shaheen Bagh etc – unequivocally holds Islam and its sword responsible for destruction of Buddhism in India and outside. It’s time for Islamists, Owaisis, Ranas, Arfas, Ravishs, Sabas, Zubairs, Akhtars, Naseeruddins, Sayemas et al to honor Baba Saheb in real. Repeat words of Baba Saheb on Islam and its sword viz a viz Buddhism next time you appear on TV or Twitter.

Hindus don’t have to trap themselves in guilt of being foreign invaders. They are not. But a deep introspection is indeed needed. Why is an Ambedkar forced to adopt Buddhism at the end of his life? Why can’t Hindus follow Vedas in true sense, shun all birth-based castes, rituals, institutions only meant for some people, adopt Karma-Pradhan Samaj instead of Janma? Why can’t Hindus accept mistakes, apologize to ‘lower castes’, embrace them as equals in letter and spirit, reform and progress together as one family?

Time for Hindu-Buddhists to unite against Budh-Shikan (destroyer of Buddha idols) Khiljis!

Ending the write up with the words of Dr Ambedkar [3] on his conversion from Hinduism to Buddhism. Do we get the message?

“I will choose only the least harmful way for the country. And that is the greatest benefit I am conferring on the country by embracing Buddhism; for Buddhism is a part and parcel of Bhâratîya culture. I have taken care that my conversion will not harm the tradition of the culture and history of this land.”

370, Nazi India and Imran Khan – Understanding Pakistan

Another Islamist is worried about ‘Nazi India’ under ‘fascist’ Modi rule. Pak PM who earned the name Taliban Khan by crores in Pakistan for his friendships, sympathies and links with dreaded Taliban has concluded that RSS is real threat to world peace after an ‘RSS man’ abolished article 370. Hypocrisy is a small word to describe this paradox. 

Most in India don’t understand Pakistan. There are two types of Indians

 1. Who hate Pakistan coz of media reports, news and perception of Pakistan being ‘enemy state’ –  common masses as well as people from defense who have had first hand experience dealing with Pakistan.

2. Who want friendship with Pakistan – mainly liberals who believe good and bad people are found in all communities and bad people are present on both sides of the border (more on Indian side of course), Aunties in their 50s who wanted to marry the ‘hot’ Imran Khan in his cricketing days, many Punjabis (both Hindus and Sikhs) who believe partition of Punjab was worst thing to happen and we share same culture, language, food, Bhangda etc, who tell stories how they went to see Ind-Pak cricket match in Lahore and next day went to visit their ancestral Haveli where nobody charged them for food, shopping etc. They conclude that partition was a dirty politics played on innocent Punjabis who otherwise wanted to stay together.

When Indian jets bombed terror camp at Balakot post Pulwama, Imran Khan’s ‘gesture’ of returning Wg Cdr Abhinandan and sacking a Minister for anti-Hindu remarks won hearts of crores on Indian side. There were Indian Bollywood intellectuals who demanded Nobel Peace Prize for Imran Khan and asked ‘Hindutva brigade in power’ to learn from Imran Khan and sack ‘Hindutva extremists’ from positions. 

I wish to inform that both 1 and 2 are wrong because
a. Pakistan is not enemy of India.
b. Pakistan will never be friends with India. 

Looks paradoxical? Let’s begin with understanding greatest paradox on globe – Pakistan. Read till the end. There is some interesting food for thought for our agencies, forces, liberals and masses vis a vis Pakistan, its ideology and threats emanating from both. Test of “bad people are found on both sides” must also run in parallel. Let’s begin.

But first, the complete statements:

a. Pakistan is not enemy of India. Pakistan is enemy of Hindus.
b. Pakistan will never be friends with India because Hindus are in majority.

Sit back and keep counting to know what these mean.

1. Constitution of Pakistan clearly says no Non-Muslim can become President ever

Genocide of Hindus – natives, sons/daughters of soil – started with Jinnah’s declaration of Pakistan being a Muslim state. Genocide was constitutionalised soon. Creation of Pakistan and bloodshed of millions required a justification. Demonisation of Hindus was thus the first step. Most liberals hide behind argument of “but bad people are on both sides”. Yes. But constitution of one side sides with bad guys, that’s the problem.

2. Imran Khan – even cricket was Jihad

Let’s meet PM Imran Khan – Even in his cricketing days when some Aunties in India wanted to die for him, he saw every match against India as Jihad in Kashmir.

Imagine Virat Kohli saying – I score centuries against Pak coz Muslims drove my ancestors out of Lahore. I see Lahore as part of Akhand Bharat.

3. Imran Khan’s Indian illegitimate children 

Khan’s ex-wife shares some interesting features of this Nobel Peace Prize contender. Reham Khan writes that Imran Khan informed her of total 5 of his illegitimate children including Tyrian White. It’s interesting to see him boasting about some Indian illegitimate children of his, eldest being 34 years of age and how he ‘helped’ some Indian women get pregnant when their husbands failed to do so! This is a typical Pakistani mindset that considers victory in ‘winning’ women of others that forms basis for rape, forced conversion, Nikah and disappearances of thousands of Hindu girls every year in Sindh and across Pakistan. And yes, this is continuation of same rape tradition from Muhammad Bin Qasim to Ghazni to Ghori to Mughals that Pakistanis hail as heroes.

4. Imran Khan’s Minister who will destroy all temples

Meet Pakistan’s Railway minister – Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed. He has been Pak’s minister 6 times. One of the most senior politicians, right hand man of PM Imran Khan. He threatens Hindus of Pakistan and India with demolition of all temples.  

5. Imran Khan’s minister gives nuclear threat to destroy Birla Ji ka Mandar (Mandir)

Imran Khan’s minister often enjoys interesting company. From left – Sheikh Rasheed, Hafiz Saeed (26/11 mastermind), Maulana Sami Ul Haq (father of Taliban), Syed Munawar Husain (Head- Jamat e Islami), Retd Gen Hameed Gul (mother of Taliban and ex-Chief ISI). 

6. Imran Khan’s Minister vows “to kill ‘b*****d Modi'”

7. Imran Khan’s Minister – Ghazi of Sultan Ghaznavi of Somnath, soldier of Ghazwa e Hind

Meet Pakistan’s minister for Parliamentary Affairs – Ali Muhammad Khan.
He reminds 3.6 Million Hindus of Pakistan and 80 Crore of India of Sultan Mahmood Ghaznavi as to how he attacked, plundered and demolished the revered Somnath temple. He also reminds Hindus of Ghazwa e Hind – the bloody conquest of Hindus by Islamic forces, a Hadith in their holy books that says Hindus will be defeated, enslaved, killed or converted to Islam in final war.

Imagine an Indian Minister threatening to attack Kaba in holy Mecca on Prime Time and wiping out all Muslim population!  

8. Imran Khan’s minister says “Kashmir is not for Hindu Kafir”

9. Imran Khan’s Minister asks Hindus “when you are cow-piss drinkers and idolaters, how will you fight us (Muslims)”?

Meet Pakistan’s Punjab’s ex-cultural minister Fayaz Ul Hassan Chouhan. He tells Hindus that “you are cow-piss drinkers and idolaters and hence can’t fight us (Muslims)”. Before someone reminds me of his removal from ministry by Imran Khan, let me inform you that he has been back to ministry, the Ministry for Colonies.

I think Imran Khan still deserves Nobel Peace Prize for keeping Hindu-hating minister away from ministry for 4 months.

Another crucial point is that every India hater from Pakistani minister to suicide bomber Adil Dhar to Hafiz Saeed calls Hindu cow-piss drinker. Even within Indian border, it is important to identify and keep vigil on such piss-obsessed traitors.

10. Imran Khan’s minister assuring Hafiz Saeed’s men- “no one can touch Hafiz Sahab till Imran Khan is in power”

11. Imran Khan’s Minister for Inter-faith harmony Noor Ul Haq Qadri in a spiritual discussion with Hafiz Saeed (also joined by Moulana Sami Ul Haq – father of Taliban)

Just to complete the list of Imran Khan’s non-Nazi companions/ministers, know about Pakistan’s Minister for Interior – Brig Ijaz Shah. According to the ex ISI Chief, Shah was the mastermind behind Osama Bin Laden’s safe years long stay at Abbottabad near Pakistan Army’s academy. Former PM of Pakistan – Benazir Bhutto in a letter to the then President and Army chief – Parvez Musharraf wrote before her assassination that she fears she will be killed. Brig Ijaz Shah – the current Minister for Interior with Imran Khan was one among four she feared will get her assassinated!

Let’s come back quickly to Pakistan’s only narrative – hate-Hindu

12. Pakistani media admitting role in Pulwama, claim “they killed 350 Indian soldiers not just 35”

Interestingly the same man earlier claimed that Pulwama was a false flag operation conducted by Indian agencies to trigger conflict with Pakistan for electoral gain for Modi! Now urge to become avengers-in-advance for Kashmiris on 370 made them forget what they peddled earlier!

13. Pak General (ex Director operations) who leaked Pulwama plan 4 months before attack!

I had even tweeted this to authorities the next day – October 2, 2018. Exactly after 4 months, Pulwama – the first suicide attack in J&K happened. My twitter account was suspended soon after.

14. Pak Army Brigadier Retd Haris Nawaz calls Modi – “Chai wala, Makkar, Dehshatgard Hindu PM (tea-seller, rascal, terrorist Hindu)”

Says no other faith could have done what they (Hindus of India) did. Although he is not aware that it is RSS and not RRS (typical problem most Pakistani experts have in facts and pronunciation), still he knows enough about Hindu being a coward race.

15. Imran Khan’s Brigadier will send non-state actors, Taliban and ISIS to teach ‘coward Hindu race’ a lesson in Kashmir

He says

– Pak has many non-state actors who can teach lesson to ‘Hindu Kaum’. Hindu Kaum is such that it kneels down and touch your feet if you are strong. But if you show softness, they will start jumping on your heads.

– They (Hindus) are not able to fight militarily
– Pak will direct Taliban to Kashmir once the US withdraws from Afghanistan 
– Soon ISIS will be in Kashmir and Pakistan can’t stop it
– Even FATF can’t do anything coz we will only send Mujahids in Kashmir but we won’t get involved in any terror financing! Genius! (If I kill someone, only 302 will apply. I will be protected from corruption charges.)

16. Imran Khan’s Brigadier says – “Hindu race will be wiped out in nuclear war as Hindus have only one nation. Muslims will still remain as they have so many countries”

17. Imran Khan’s Brigadier says – “Hindu is a coward race. It can’t fight us”

18. Commander of Ghazwa e Hind: “From Qasim to Ghazni to Ghori to today’s Jihadis to social media Ghazis who are fighting Hindus are doing Ghazwa e Hind – final conquest of idolaters (Hindus) of India” 

19. Commander says “Prophet himself will lead Muslim forces to destroy Hindus of India. Whole of India will come under Tawheed – One Allah. Removal of 370 is beginning of Ghazwa”

20. Commander says- “Hindus fear Muslims. Muslims ruled Hindus for 1300 years and kept them as slaves. This fear and slavery in Hindu DNA makes them stammer when they speak to a Muslim”

21. Commander will send Jihadis to Indian Kashmir

Man on left is Dr Farhan Virk – an MBBS doctor from Pakistan and head- social media cell of PTI – Imran Khan’s party. He operates from Imran Khan’s residence at Bani Gala, Islamabad. Man on right is Zaid Hamid. Son of a 9th gen (9 or little older, needs to be established) Hindu convert to Islam from Bihar. He is quite popular in Pakistan with lakhs of followers on social media. ISI-man.

22. Commander says “Hinduon ko thand daalni hoti hai (teach Hindus a lesson)”

23. Commander says “anything that weakens Hindus is part of Ghazwa e Hind. When we march on streets of Delhi soon, the day will be final stage”

24. Commander says “never trust a Hindu”

25. Commander says “Hindu is animal who drinks cow-piss, he remained slave for 1000 years”

26. Commander says “get one Crore Hindus working in Muslim countries out of jobs”

27. ‘Liberal’ Pakistani Hassan Nisar says “we (Muslims) still have 50 countries. You (Hindus) have only one. You Hindus will be wiped out in nuclear war”

Before Aman Ki Aasha liberals accuse me of quoting extremists only, here is darling of many Indians – Hassan Nisar, most respected columnist in Pak. He says – If nuclear war happens, Muslims have 50 countries. We will still survive. Hindus will cease to exist if we nuke you. You are not found anywhere else in world.

28. Pak Administrative Services Officer and senior analyst says “according to Quran, idolater Hindu is biggest enemy of Muslims along with Jews”

Orya Maqbool Jan (Ex officer Pakistan administrative services, columnist, prime time analyst)- Muhammad said in Hadith & Quran to Muslims – Jews and those who do Shirk (idolaters/polytheists) are your enemies. Today, Hindu is the only one who does Shirk (idolatry). Hence Hindu is the biggest enemy.

29. Pakistani astrologer explains new dimensions of ‘rascal’ Hindus

He has definitely read some hidden text of Hindus that no Hindu is aware of according to which Hindus believe in Avaagan (only Pakistanis know what this Avaagan is, is it Aavaagaman by any chance?) Ram was a character in Mahabharat that happened in Satyug! Kalyug belongs to goddess Kali! Anyway, major point to drive home is ‘Hindu is rascal’. And this must be broadcast on primetime on national television.

30. “Hindu is Baniya only capable to do accounting. We are accompanied by martial races”

31. Pak analyst : Moody (this is how most Pakistanis pronounce Modi for some reason) is a terrorist. “Will dig graves of Hindus in Kashmir”

32. Pak analyst : “We Muslims are Ghazi when alive and Shaheed when dead. You (Hindus) are Bhagoda (coward)”

33. Pak journalist : “I will go to Kashmir wearing suicide vest”

34. Imran Khan’s minister says “this is not India. Everyone in Pakistan has gun including Aalu-Chhole wala. All will come to Kashmir”

35. Imran Khan’s minister : “I won’t say Sushma Ji blushed at this age on meeting me. Imran Khan bowled googly with Kartarpur corridor for Sikhs”

This is foreign minister of a country talking about female foreign minister of the other. There is a reason women ended up being worst victims of rape, abduction forced conversion, marriage and sex-slavery during Islamic invasion and partition of India. There is also a reason why Pakistan is worst country for non-Muslim women, specially Hindu girls. Women of disbelievers are always on target of Pakistani faith. (Will cover women and Pakistan in detail in upcoming articles)

I can go on and on. Will stop now. One thing is clear. An Indian sees a Pakistani as a Pakistani. But a Pakistani sees an Indian as Hindu who can never be a friend. This was whole meaning and basis of Pakistan. Remember when Wg Cdr Abhinandan was caught by Pak forces, what was first thing they made him say?

My name is Abhinandan and my religion is Hindu.

If this can’t teach us lessons, nothing will. Pakistan is not a country. It is part of India that was populated by Hindu-hating radicalised people and is now captured. They have extended their claims on Kashmir. Punjab was tried in 80s. It is still in queue. And as their ministers said – Delhi is final destination. Pakistan is just a launch pad. Goal is something bigger. You leave Kashmir, they will claim Punjab. You leave Punjab, they claim Himachal. It won’t stop until Delhi. Final destination is complete Islamisation of India. Complete genocide/conversion/persecution of Hindus as laid out by half a dozen sitting ministers on prime time.

Those who try to create false equivalence on “extremists on both sides”, look closely. How many ministers or Indian intellectuals have you seen on TV declaring all Muslims as enemies, rascals, fit to be killed/converted? How many people have actually been killed by “lynch mobs” in India? 10? 20? 100? 1.5 Million Hindus were killed alone in Pakistan during 1971 oppression of East Pakistan. Where is the comparison? 10 against 15,00,000? Stop fooling yourself.

Imagine, the above is what they could speak on prime time on national television! How dangerous would the real plans be that lie in darkness of their hearts and closed-doors? Listen from one of them and prepare. This war is going to be dirtiest and longest.

“There can’t be any brotherhood between Hindu and Muslim. We beheaded our fathers who refused to accept Islam”

This is my first article in series on Pakistan. Will post more. Next will be Hindu-hate in Pakistani art, culture and movies. Stay tuned!

बलिदान

कितना भी दुःख हो शोक तुम नहीं करना
है कृष्ण का सन्देश शोक मत करना

याद आये जब दिल में अपने दुखों की
तुम याद कोई बलिदान कर लेना

चौदह साल का बालक एक हकीकत था
जंजीरों में जकड़ा खड़ा दरबार में था

काजी ने पूछा क्या है ईमान क़ुबूल?
रहना है जिन्दा तुझको या मरना है क़ुबूल?

उसने चेहरा उठा के देखा काजी की तरफ
सबकी नजरें थीं उठीं लेकिन बालक की तरफ

स्याने सब कह रहे थे कर ले ईमान क़ुबूल
शोर सब ओर से होता था कर ईमान क़ुबूल

नम आँखों से एक बार बस माँ को देखा
उन आँखों में आंसू का समंदर देखा

एक हाथ से था पोंछता माँ के आंसू
दूजे हाथ से था पोंछता अपने आंसू

हिल गए ये नजारा देख पत्थर भी
रुक रुक के देखने लगे परिंदे भी

इतने में अचानक एक शोर हुआ
तकबीर का नारा फिर बुलंद हुआ

काजी ने कहा फिर से- है ईमान क़ुबूल?
भीड़ से शोर उठा- कर ले ईमान क़ुबूल!

इतने में हकीकत गरजा सुन काजी!
तुम कहते हो मैं कर लूं ईमान क़ुबूल?

हकीकत को तो बस राम का है नाम कबूल
राम के भक्त कभी बनते हैं गुलाम ए रसूल?

‘धर्म जिस जीने से खो जाए वो जीना है फिजूल’
धर्म जिस मरने से जी जाए वो मरना है मंजूर

धर्म प्यारा है मुझे है नहीं ईमान क़ुबूल
तेरा दीं तुझको मुबारक नहीं ईमान क़ुबूल

छाया था सन्नाटा मुग़ल के खेमे में
दिल शेर का है क्या इस कलेजे में

काजी ने कहा कर दो सर इसका कलम
गुस्ताख को मारो करो फितने को खतम

था तैयार भी जल्लाद काम करने को
तलवार जो उठी तो लगी गर्दन को

अगले ही पल वो सर हुआ जुदा तन से
एक धुन सी उठ रही थी उस गर्दन से

धर्म की राह में मर जाते हैं मरने वाले
‘मरके जी उठते हैं जी जाँ से गुजरने वाले’

कितना ही अँधेरा क्यों न हो दुनिया में
कितनी ही विपत्ति क्यों न हों जीवन में

हरा के उनको धर्म पे बढते जाना
बलिदान हकीकत का सुनाते जाना…

Why Guru Nanak & Guru Gobind Wore Janeu, Performed Yajna – Real Sikhi- 1

Humne tumhe bachaya (we saved you)

Hamaare guruon ne tumhare Pandat bachaaye (Our Gurus saved your Pandits)

Hamaare Sikhon ne tumhari auraten bachaayin (Our Sikhs saved your women)

Hamaare Sikhon ne tumhaare Mandir bachaaye (Our Sikhs saved your temples)

Hindu apni ladaai khud nahi lad sakta tha, Sikhon ne unki ladaai ladi (Hindus couldn’t fight, Sikhs fought for them)

The ongoing ‘farmer protest’ has exposed everything that is wrong in country except farming. Yuvraj Singh’s father, a failed actor, Yograj Singh recently reminded us “how Hindu women were sold to Mughals in 2 Rupees and how Sikhs would save women of ‘weak Hindus'”. He is not alone. Gang of left joined ‘farmers’ with ‘free Umar Khalid’ posters. On 26 Jan, the gloves were off.

Who can’t see a genuine-looking farmer protest was vitiated with communal hatred for Hindus from Day one? ‘Farmers vs govt bill’ was deliberately made into ‘Sikhs vs India’ and ‘Sikhs vs Hindus’ thanks to celebrities, actors, dancers, politicians and Shaheen Bagh model.

When brothers fight, enemy ropes in. Pakistan – that came into being with declaration that Muslims & Hindus (including Sikhs) are two different races who can’t live together – is conducting 5 TV shows daily ‘in support of Sikh farmers’.

I am not the one who would blame Pakistan or Khalistanis sitting across world for the mess. I always believe outsiders can’t be the reason of fire. They can add fuel certainly. But cause is certainly deeper and internal. The ongoing ‘farmer protests’ mess or Sikh separatism in 1980s stemmed from same root that needs to be addressed now.

Distortion of history – root cause of Hindu-Sikh divide

In childhood, majority of Sikhs I knew were impossible to distinguish from Hindus except for physical appearance. I belong to a Punjabi Hindu family that migrated from Punjab to West UP few centuries ago. My family history shows some of my great grandmothers having surname ‘Kaur’ on both paternal and maternal sides. Even today, we have a Sikh married into our family. She is equally versed with history of Guru Gobind Singh Ji and Vedic Mantras. She performs Yajna-Agnihotra better than any trained Purohit.

I grew up in refugee colony in West UP with Hindu-Sikhs who were driven out of today’s Pakistan’s Punjab and settled here with whatever was left of their families and relations. Every household had horror stories to tell. No family came to India unharmed. Some lost most women, some lost elders, some lost all kids, some lost everything, and all lost pride.

I was surrounded with Sikhs who would visit Salasar Ji, Vaishno Devi and apply Tilak on forehead with pride on Diwali Puja. They would come back with Prasad and distribute in Muhalla. Most Sikh shopkeepers had framed images of Lakshmi Mata, Lord Krishna & Lord Ganesh along with Guru Nanak Ji placed in their mini-temple installed just above the Galla (cash corner).

On Diwali, each temple and Gurudwara of the city would illuminate with same joy & light. I had Sikh friends who would recite Hanuman Chalisa in single breath. I played Sahibzada Fateh Singh (son of Guru Gobind Singh) more than once in school drama. There was not a single dry eye when Wazir Khan bricked 5 yrs old kid alive for not converting to Islam.

In a nutshell, a significant chunk of Sikhs was inseparable from Hindus. They believed themselves to be part of common glorious heritage of Vedas, Ram and Krishna. They took pride in the fact that Sikhs were those courageous first sons of every Punjabi Hindu household whose brave mothers volunteered to give them for the Hindu (Khalsa) army against Islamic invaders.

However, there is another view among many Sikhs. Another significant fraction believes Sikhism is a separate religion. Not just separate but superior religion that rebelled against oppressive Hindu faith by

  • Challenging Brahmanical hegemony
  • Rejecting rituals like Janeu, Tilak, Yajna
  • Eradicating caste-system
  • Rejecting idol-worship
  • Rejecting polytheism and establishing worship of One True Supreme (quality that makes Sikhs closer to Muslims than Hindus)
  • Embracing secularism by declaring – I am neither Hindu nor Musalman

The view that Sikhs are separate religion gained prominence of late. Plethora of literature was fabricated and history was rewritten with sole aim to dissociate Sikhs/Sikhism from Hindu/Hinduism. Some claims were made out of thin air and were repeated. Books, tracts, articles, media forums were flooded with the recently fabricated history with impunity. I will give some examples of how Janeu and Yajna were wiped out from Sikh history.

Claim 1 : Guru Nanak rejected sacred thread (Janeu/Yajnopaveet) of Hinduism

Guru Nanak refused to wear Janeu when Brahman came to perform his Yajnopaveet Sanskaar (sacred thread ceremony). Guru said-

“The thread is spun of cotton, and Brahmin twists it; They kill a goat to eat and then ask one to wear [this thread]”

“The Brahmin throws not the sacred thread over his passions and lust for woman. Each morning is his face covered with shame. His feet and hands by the thread are not restrained; Nor his tongue and eyes. Unrestrained by the thread he moves along.” [Guru Granth Sahib]

Reality:

1. If I see someone cleaning his hands with pure water and putting them in mud next moment, I would definitely call him an idiot. I will say – “Cleaning hands is of no use if you put them in mud again“.

In the above, did I condemn cleaning hands or putting hands in mud? Which sane person can infer rejection of cleaning hands from this? Similarly, when Guru Nanak said – “you kill/eat animals, you lust after women, you discriminate among people and then wear Janeu”, how does one conclude that Guru rejected Janeu? He simply pointed out contradiction in people’s conduct. His problem was with killing/eating animals, lust, and discrimination. Problem was certainly not with Janeu.

The lie that Guru Nanak rejected Yajnopaveet/Janeu is spread by quoting half text. Guru did question the priest regarding the ritual. But what he did next must be read in words of none other than Dr Kirpal Singh, author of Janamsakhi Tradition (stories from Guru Nanak’s life), former Professor & Head – Punjab Historical Studies Department, Punjabi University, Patiala. He is an authority on Guru Nanak’s history and Janamsakhis. Here is the full version of Guru’s Janeu incident verbatim from Dr Kirpal’s book – Janamsakhi Tradition

Religious Ceremony: Yajnopavit of Guru Nanak

When Guru Nanak grew up to be of nine years, his parents thought of performing the ceremony of Yajnopavit i.e. investing the child with the sacred thread called janeu. The pandit brought along a janeu made of cotton. As per the practice, then prevalent, a special area was earmarked for the ceremony. The ground was sanctified by smearing it with a paste of cow-dung mixed with mud. Nanak was made to sit there, and it was whispered in his ear that it was the religion of Brahmins and Khatris to wear janeu. The ceremony was complete and all the relations who had come to see it went back. However, all this did not leave any special impact on Guru Nanak’s mind. The Guru has explained thus the real janeu in one of his hymns:

Make compassion the cotton, contentment the yarn; Continence the knot and purity the twist; Such is the true sacred thread of the self Thou Brahmin-priest! Put this on me shouldst thou have it. This thread neither snaps nor is soiled; Neither burnt nor lost. Said Nanak : Blessed are the beings that around their neck put this… [Guru Granth Sahib]”

Dr Kirpal further adds quotations from different Janamsakhis that prove Guru Nanak DID wear Janeu. He writes

“The Miharban and Mani Singh Janamsakhis say the ceremony of putting Janeu took place at the age of nine.. There is considerable difference of detail as regards the observance of his ceremony in the Janamsakhis of Miharban and Mani Singh. The latter refers to the performance by Kalu (Guru Nanak’s father) of a huge Yajna.. There are many details of janeu- ceremony, Gayatri mantras recited by Pandit Brij Nath.

Contrary to it, the former which is of much earlier date than the latter; mentions none of these details. The former version has been taken as correct. Mani Singh says that at the time of wearing Janeu Guru Nanak recited to the Pandit the hymn- ‘O Nanak! my body is a chariot and it has one charioteer’ whereas the Miharban version says that he recited the hymn– ‘Make compassion the cotton, and contentment the thread, continence the knot and truth the twist.’”

Reality is major Janamsakhis have covered Janeu/sacred thread ceremony of Guru Nanak with prominence. They differ in nitty-gritty of ceremony as to which Mantra was recited by Brahman/Guru Nanak and which food was served etc but all of them conclude that Janeu ceremony DID happen and Guru Nanak wore Janeu. There is ABSOLUTELY NO account of Guru Nanak not wearing Janeu in any authentic Janamsakhi. (All tall claims of Guru rejecting Janeu are only found on online forums like ‘SikhWiki and RaajKaregaKhalsa dot com’ that are anything but authentic)

On contrary, Guru Nanak explained true spirit of Yajnopaveet/Janeu behind the ritual which is to purify body, mind and Aatma. Threads of Janeu are symbols. Guru was absolutely spot on when he criticised Janeu being worn by wrongdoers, meat-eaters and womanisers. This only proves his love and devotion towards Janeu – Vedic symbol of purity. Don’t we have similar restrictions on wearing Janeu as per Shastras? Guru’s anger was on wrongdoings, hypocrisy and mindless ritualism and not on Janeu itself. That’s why he wore it after explaining the spirit behind. Similarly, lot of Brahman-bashing is done in name of Guru Nanak by separatists based on isolated half quotes. I will show in subsequent articles how on contrary Guru Nanak and Sikh Gurus loved and respected Vedas and Brahmans.

2. While opposing Janeu under influence of separatist bigotry and false history, the separatists forget to take away crux of entire episode. Guru’s message was – “Your Janeu is of no use if you eat meat, have lust for other women etc..

What separatists remembered is – “Your Janeu is of no use” deliberately chopping off latter part. Instead of rejecting meat, lust and discrimination, they rejected Janeu. This is similar to rejecting habit of cleaning hands instead of habit of putting them in mud.

3. Guru Nanak’s question of mindless ritualism on Janeu is equally valid on Panj Kakars also. If Guru considered meat-eating, lust and discrimination as greatest sins that pollute and defeat pious purpose of Janeu, same would pollute and defeat pious purpose of Panj Kakars too. Have separatists – many of them being meat-eaters, having lust for women, having strong superiority complex of being Jatt, the worst kind of casteism (half of Punjabi songs/movies revolve around Jatta’s supermanship) – rejected Panj Kakaars just like they rejected Janeu? If rituals of Panj Kakaars are followed despite these possible misconducts, there is no reason why Sikhs shouldn’t wear Janeu.

4. Guru Nanak not just wore Janeu but also considered it, along with Shikha/Choti, as symbol of pious people, seekers and saints. Guru Granth Sahib (Asa Ghar 4 Mahla 1) says

ਖਲੜੀ ਖਪਰੀ ਲਕੜੀ ਚਮੜੀ ਸਿਖਾ ਸੂਤੁ ਧੋਤੀ ਕੀਨ੍ਹ੍ਹੀ ॥
ਤੂੰ ਸਾਹਿਬੁ ਹਉ ਸਾਂਗੀ ਤੇਰਾ ਪ੍ਰਣਵੈ ਨਾਨਕੁ ਜਾਤਿ ਕੈਸੀ ॥੪॥੧॥੩੩॥
खलड़ी खपरी लकड़ी चमड़ी सिखा सूतु धोती कीन्ही
तूं साहिबु हउ सांगी तेरा प्रणवै नानकु जाति कैसी ॥४॥१॥३३॥

The yogis and the celibates live their disciplined lifestyle.. For Your sake, O Lord Master, they are imbued with love.. They raise (Shikha/Choti) their hair in tufts and wear (Yajnopaveet/Janeu) sacred threads and loin-cloths. You are the Lord Master, I am just Your puppet. Prays Nanak.. ||4||1||33||

Claim 2 : Guru Nanak rejected Seven Rounds (Saat Phera) ritual of Hinduism in marriage

Guru Nanak challenged all major rituals of Hinduism. To prove that rituals mean nothing, Guru Nanak went around sacred fire of Yajna 4 times instead of prescribed 7 times in his marriage. This proves that Guru Nanak didn’t follow Hinduism.

Reality:

1. This claim is an admission that Guru Nanak performed Yajna and married as per Vedic ritual! What do you call a person who wears Janeu, performs Yajna and takes Pheras around sacred fire? Don’t we call him Hindu?

2. This is a self-goal by separatist historians anyway. As per Paraskar Grihya Sutram – the ancient book of Vedic rituals, a Vedic wedding has only four Pheras not seven! Most Vedic weddings actually happen with four Pheras only! Separatist enthusiasts confused four Pheras (circumambulation around Yajna) with Saptapadi (7 steps in straight line, another ritual in wedding). Here is the proof [Kand 1, Kandika 7, page 85]

This only proves that Guru Nanak not just performed Vedic Yajna but also followed ritual of four Pheras perfectly as per Shastras!

3. Another thing to note is Yajna isn’t performed without wearing Janeu/Yajnopaveet. So if Guru Nanak performed Yajna no matter with 4 or 7 Pheras as accepted undisputedly, he must be wearing Janeu at that time! This again negates bogus claim regarding Guru Nanak rejecting Janeu in childhood!

4. Separatists argue that Guru Nanak was not a Hindu since he rejected symbols of Hinduism such as Janeu. This is false as established above. Even for argument’s sake if it’s true, he still performed Yajna at his marriage ceremony which proves beyond doubt that Guru Nanak was a follower of Vedic Dharma. He could have rejected Yajna just like Janeu. Why didn’t he? Clearly he followed Vedic Dharma.

Question is why have Sikhs stopped performing Yajna that Guru Nanak himself performed? If Sikhs don’t wear Janeu because Guru Nanak rejected (which he didn’t) it, why don’t Sikhs perform Yajna at marriage which Guru Nanak did? Why are we following Guru Nanak in parts? Is there any justification other than blind hate for the parent faith – Vedic Dharma?

Claim 3 : Guru Tegh Bahadur saved faith of weak Hindus. It’s duty of Sikhs to protect weak. That doesn’t make him/Sikhs Hindu

Reality : Guru Tegh Bahadur gave his life for his Dharma of Tilak and Janeu – Guru Gobind Singh

Guru Nanak’s love for Janeu, Tilak, Yajna and Vedic Dharma was inherited by Guru Tegh Bahadur. Guru Gobind Singh writes in his Dasham Granth’s Bichatar Naatak-

तिलक जंजू राखा प्रभु ताका। कीनो बड़ो कलू महि साका।।

धरम हेत साका जिनी कीया। सीस दिया पर सिरर न दीया।।

Meaning – Guru Tegh Bahadur gave his head but kept Tilak and Janeu (sacred thread) for his Eeshvar. He did greatest work in Kaliyug for his Dharma. (Guru Gobind Singh doesn’t mention any weak Hindus or faith of Hindus here)

Who can match this greatest sacrifice for Dharma? Guru Tegh Bahadur was son of Vedic Dharma and he died protecting it. Of course, Guru died protecting Hindus because he himself and ALL Gurus were Hindus. Every son of faith worth his salt would give his head in return of Dharma. Guru Tegh Bahadur died for his mother faith- Vedic Dharma. Mother Dharma and all Hindus (includes real Sikhs) are extremely proud of her Balidani son.

Here is a beautiful Bhajan – Tilak Janju (Janeu) on these legendary lines by Guru Gobind Singh. Listen to this in background and keep reading.

Guru Gobind Singh used to wear Janeu/sacred thread

Panth Parkash – one of the most comprehensive works on Sikh history written by legendary historian Giani Gian Singh in 1880 describes Guru Gobind Singh on his day of marriage in following lines

Hindi –

पीत पुनीत उपरना धोती जोति नविय व छवि छाजै।

पीत जनेऊ मनो वदन सासि पै बिजरी भ्राजे।।

English – Guru Gobind Singh wore clean yellow Dhoti and yellow Janeu-Yajnopaveet/sacred thread at the time of wedding.

Majority of Guru Gobind Singh’s literature is reproduction of Hindu Puranas, Ramayan and Mahabharat in simple words for masses. All his life, he invoked Shakti, Devi & Shiva to destroy Turks/cow-killers. Read Dasham Granth if you don’t believe.

This love of Gurus for Janeu and Dharma is still alive in many Sikhs. Revolutionary Sardar Bhagat Singh (whose pictures communists carry these days for no reason) wrote in his tract ‘Why I am an atheist’ how his grandfather Sardar Arjan Singh – a staunch Sikh, follower of Vedas and Swami Dayanand – wore Janeu and performed daily Yajna. Bhagat Singh also remembers how he would chant Vedic Mantras for hours daily. Sardar Arjan Singh Ji also authored a book – “Guru Saheban Vedon ke Pairo the (Sikh Gurus were followers of Vedas)”.

There are thousands of instances of Sikh Gurus that prove they were followers of Vedic Dharma. I will bring more truth in upcoming articles on Gurus, their Vedic ancestry, Sikh philosophy, warriors and history that will counter the trash of distortion, separatism, extremism and lies.

Gurus conducted Yajnas, wore Janeu, died for Janeu, created army of Hindus for protection of Hindus. Sikh/Khalsa was army of the Hindus by the Hindus for the Hindus. First Sikhs of the world were the first sons of Hindu mothers. Remember when you take jibe of ‘we saved you/your women’ at any Hindu, you are insulting Hindu mother/father of Guru Nanak, Guru Gobind and all Gurus, your own mother, your entire clan and the mother who gave her first child f(or Khalsa Hindu Army) who later became your great grandfather. If Gurus are to be followed, a true Sikh has to be a true Hindu and vice versa.

What should a Sikh do? Follow Gurus. Guru Gobind Singh carried his mighty bow on one shoulder and Janeu on the other. Every Sikh who loves Gurus must carry both traditions on his shoulders. A tree remains green only till it’s connected with roots. Let’s remember this always.

One Muslim = 10 Hindus – What Muslims are Taught in Pakistan

Most Indians don’t understand Pakistan. Forget about novices or liberals living in dreams, even the learned despite all their sincerity fail to crack miserable Pakistani psyche. 

Pakistan doesn’t hate India. Pakistan hates Hindus. Please refer to my articles 1 & 2. Right from ideological founder of Pakistan to physical founder to etymology to liberals to common masses to extremists to artists to politicians to everything (minus the non-Muslims) in Pakistan hates Hindus.

ARY News aired programs calling for open slaughter of Hindu ‘Baniya’ on Primetime. Producers of Amir Khan’s PK chose same ARY as distributing partner in Pakistan!

This hate has ideological roots in sacred texts of majority of Pakistanis. All translations of the holy book [9/5] ask followers to slay idolaters wherever found, [98/6] call idolaters/polytheists/non-believers ‘worst of creatures’ and [9/29] ask followers to fight non-Muslims till Islam is spread to the last man on earth. Out of non-believers, idol-worshippers are declared greatest sinners.

We would be happy to believe that “Slaying of idolaters” in holy book actually meant “empowerment of idolaters” just like Faiz’s “Sab but uthvaaye jaayenge.. bus naam rahega Allah ka” actually meant “when falsehood will perish and truth will prevail” as suggested by Javed Akhtars and Barkha Dutts. But problem is Sharjeel Imams and Abu Baqr Al Baghdadis read “slaying of idolaters” as “slaying of idolaters” and not “empowerment of idolaters”. 

Imran Khan’s minister in Punjab Faiyaz ul Hassan Chouhan warns cow-urine drinker, idolater Hindus of Muslim wrath. 6th gen convert, descendent of Hindu Rajput Chauhans believes his father was an Arab.

This rabid hate comes with a cost which is idiocy, hypocrisy, perpetual humiliation and defeat Pakistan and Islamists of subcontinent have become epitome of. Hindu-hate was basis of creation of Pakistan. For that, villanization of Hindus and victimisation of Muslims was imperative. But how could the superior faith become so helplessly weak in front of Kafir idolaters? How could Muslims be superior race and victims at the same time? 

This paradox was explained with two assumptions. Pakistan’s holy books, textbooks, Generals, politicians, Mullahs & ruling establishment taught following to Pakistanis since childhood

1. Muslims are martial race. They are fair, handsome, tall, well built, fearless, born warriors, conquerers and big-hearted people. 

1 Muslim = 10 Hindus in war. Muslims fight frontal wars.

2. Hindu is Baniya (clever trader). He is dark-skinned, ugly, meek, weak, coward, callous, cunning, shrewd, small-hearted and incapable of fighting. Hindu was slave of Muslims for 1000 years. Hindu conspires and backstabs.

Fareed Paracha, Jamat e Islami Pakistan functionary spewing venom against Hindus

1 Muslim >= 10 Kafirs as per Holy Book 8/65. You may find it absurd but this has been official policy of Pakistan Army vis a vis India. All four wars Pakistan initiated against India actually had this 1:10 theorem at play. Almost all Army chiefs and PMs of Islamic Republic of Pakistan religiously believed in a Muslim’s magical prowess against weak Hindu Baniya described in Islamic Holy Book. Few examples:

Tahir Mehdi, a Pakistani columnist exposes Pakistan in Dawn – Have you ever watched the Independence Day play in your neighborhood school? Please do, the next time you get an opportunity. A boy dressed in a dhotee, with no top or maybe a vest and a shiny bald head but with a small head of hair dangling funnily on one side of the skull represents India. He has a shrewd smile on his face and his character personifies callousness and insensitivity. He is a traitor who ditches poor Muslims to side with an oppressive white man. It is a theatrical rendering of the narrative: all Indians are Hindus and all Hindus are baniyas. No need to add that baniyas are abhorring creatures.

Outlook 16 June 2008, page 24 reads – Dr Babur quotes junior Muslim officers describing their motivational lectures, “we are taught that in the Quran one Muslim is equal to 10 Kafirs and after every lecture, slogans praising God and Caliph Ali are raised

Sarmad Iqbal, a Pakistani writes in Quint – I also vividly remember how my textbooks in primary school and even in secondary schools, particularly in Urdu language… …were replete with references like, “We Muslims were strong and brave so we defeated the weak, cunning and clever Hindu Indian army”. Central Asian invaders like Mahmud Ghaznavi who destroyed and desecrated one of the most sacred Hindu temples in India “Somnath” (in the Indian state of Gujarat) were often glorified.

Pak cricketer Sohail Tanveer and TV anchor discuss how disgusting Hindu Baniya is after getting rejected from IPL

India-Pakistan cricket matches are marked by commentary such as – Is Hindu team ko hamaray Shaheenoon nay harana hai (Our hawks [reference to Pakistani cricket team] will have to defeat this Hindu team [refering to the Indian cricket team]”.

Mass rallies in support of “Kashmiri Muslim brothers” led us to believe that the Hindu Indian army is killing our Muslim brothers and is being endorsed by a government that has the dimag (mind) of a Hindu Baniya (a clever Hindu merchant).

Mohsin Khan ex-Pak cricketer on how Indian players could not match strength, energy and courage of Pakistani players. This is same man who Indian cinema gave acting chance in many films and who an Indian actress Reena Roy married!

Manzoor Turabi, Researcher, Pakistan Project, IDSA writes – Almost on a regular basis, the Urdu newspapers carry articles and editorials portraying India as a country ruled by ‘Hindu Baniyas’ who, from their point of view, are ‘enemies of Muslims’.

Sabir Nazar writes in Dawn – Indian soldiers are cowards. One Muslim soldier is equal to 10 Hindu soldiers (Hamid Gul) … but we never won any war against India.

Gen Amjad Shoaib, DG Military Operations, Pak Army refers Hindus as Baniya repeatedly (6 times in 2 minutes)

Irfan Husain, Pak’s ex-civil servant who wrote speeches of PM ZA Bhutto writes in Dawn – In the evenings at the army mess where I had a room…While my shooting skills improved on the rifle range, I don’t think I learned anything of value. But I did get an insight into the insularity of military life. For one, our commanding officer, a reasonably bright lieutenant-colonel, was convinced that one Muslim soldier was equal to 10 of his Hindu foes.

And for all the talk of one Muslim soldier being equal to 10 Hindus, we have lost each of the wars we have fought with India.

Ardeshir Cowasjee writes in Dawn- It is of no use us propagating the myth that one Pakistani soldier is equal in strength and courage to five Indian soldiers. Our retired generals, colonels, air marshals, wing-commanders, admirals and commodores do us a disservice when they air their views…

Stephen P. Cohen, American author, Political Scientist and Professor of Security Studies writes- “One Pakistani soldier is equal to ten or more Indians – Pakistan adopted it as a way of demonstrating to foreigners… that a small amount of assistance to Pakistan could offset the Indian behemoth. If one Pakistani equalled ten or twenty Hindu Indian soldiers, then Pakistan could overcome the disadvantages of its apparent size and resources…

Ayaz Amir, former Muslim League N leader and Pak columnist writes – from Kashmir to Kargil, and the 1965 war in between — were started by us, convinced of victory because we had fed ourselves on the notion that one Muslim soldier was equal to ten Hindu soldiers.

The book Dirty Hands and Vicious Deeds, edited by Samuel Totten, eminent Professor of history reads- “Proclaimed itself the inheritor of the martial tradition of Islam, the successor of Timurlane and Nadir Shah and all the other Islamic conquerers of India.” It became a common theme among the ranks of the military, a matter of unquestioning bravado turned into conviction of their own innate prowess as soldiers of Islam, that one Pakistani soldier was equal, if not better, in fighting spirit than 10 Hindus. Out of such thinking infused with racial bigotry and religious chauvinism, the senior commanders of Pakistan Army were blinded by their own limited vision of the complex reality of politics.

Mullah Khadim Hussain Rizwi close to Pak Army explains relationship between Muslims and Hindus

To cut long story short, for an Islamist, Hindu is a Baniya/weak community. Muslim is martial race. Muslims ruled Hindus for 1000 years. Still, Muslims are victims of Hindu oppression. How? Because Chalaak Baniya sided with British to end 1000 years long humiliation in form of Muslim rule. As per history taught in Pakistan, Hindu invited British to conquer India. Muslims fought British for independence while Hindu Baniya was acting as loyal servant of the Queen. Since Hindu was not able to fight Muslims with muscle power (1 Muslim > 10 Hindus), he backstabbed Muslims and joined hands with British. This may be called as Yahood o Hanood ki Saazish a term popular in Pakistan which means conspiracy of Jews & Hindus. 

(Theory of Muslim martial struggle against British is hoax. Those versed in history know that Jinnah was a British stooge. Muslim League – sole representative of majority of Muslims in pre partition era – had its first objective as “To promote, among the Musalmans of India, feelings of loyalty to the British Government, and to remove any misconception that may arise as to the intention of Government with regard to any of its measures” [Dhaka Resolution, December 30, 1906])

Situation of Islamists in India is more complex. Being minority, their claims of Muslim superiority and attempts of villanisation of Hindus have to be subtle. I am not suggesting Indian Islamists are any better. Remember that Pakistan was brainchild of Indian Islamists.

Dar ul Uloom Deoband’s (Uttar Pradesh, India) Fatwa stating a Muslim shouldn’t even show tolerance and morality to Non-Muslims, shouldn’t make them friends!

Fatwas like – asking Muslims to not be friends with Hindus – are regularly issued from Dar ul Uloom, Deoband, India. Deoband is a suburb in UP state where 80% population is Hindu (at least on papers). In principle, Islamists of India and state of Pakistan are inseparable. They carry equal hate, disgust and venom for Hindus.

Remember Sukhi Lala (Lala is synonym of Baniya widely used in Punjab) of 1957 Mehboob Khan’s Hindi movie Mother India? Tightwad with ugly face, bald head with Hindu sacred symbols Shikha & Tilak, big moustaches, dirty stares, rapacious character, who tries to rape a helpless mother of four small kids in exchange of food for her dying kids right in mid of storm? 

Sukhi ‘Baniya’ molesting a helpless mother of 4

This portrayal of Lala/Baniya was then adopted and taken to new heights by Salim-Javed (same Javed who after villanizing most peaceful Baniya community on earth using stolen plots from Hollywood is now feeling sad at growing Islamophobia). In almost every other movie written by the likes of Javed, 5 characters were often seen. A casteist Brahman who would not let a Dalit enjoy equal rights, a cruel Thakur/Rajput whipping poor people for fun or raping women, and a greedy Baniya who would snatch Sood/interest even from mother of dying kids.

Baniya with sacred Tilak and Shikha on head oppresses poor in Bollywood movies

There used to be another interesting character. A Rahim Chacha who would protect poor/Dalit from Thakur’s atrocities or adopt a Hindu daughter/sister without changing her faith and would eventually die protecting someone from Thakur’s wrath.

Remember Shahrukh Khan’s Raees? Baniye ka dimaag aur Miya Bhai ki daring? This is subtle way of putting Hindu is Baniya and Muslim is martial race. Junior Owaisi’s open threat to wipe out 100 Crore Hindus with 25 Crore Miya Bhai was nothing but exhibition of universality of 1:10 theorem aka Miya Bhai ki daring (check number of social media ‘Miya Bhai’ pages endorsed/inspired by Owaisis).

Will 'Miya Bhai' SKR overshadow female characters in 'Raees'? | Evening  Standard

This also explains why Muslim community in general and Islamists in particular are victims of illiteracy, poor health and worst statistics in scientific innovations. When applying Dimaag/brain is looked down upon in popular culture, having brains is a matter of ridicule and joke, and violent tendencies are glorified beyond limits, you end up becoming Islamist circus like Pakistan. 

These idiotic Baniya-Martial race fantasies would not merit a response if their impact could remain confined to some isolated Mullah brains. But given these reveries served as war strategies for Islamists in past (including terror attacks on India and 1948, 1965, and 1999 Ind-Pak conflicts), eyes can’t be closed. It’s not about how ridiculous Islamists are but how much capable these ridiculous Islamists are.

All Indians are not Hindus. All Hindus are not Baniyas. All Baniyas are not cowards. Muslims of Pakistan are children of those Hindus who had to change their faith at sword’s point. At least 2/3rd of Pak Army Chiefs till date have been descendants of Hindu Jats and Rajputs. Rest 1/3rd have faked their castes. I will give detailed account of all prominent Pakistanis and their Hindu ancestry in subsequent articles.

All Pakistanis carry Hindu DNA. If all Hindus are Baniyas, all Pakistanis are those children of Baniyas who couldn’t fight.

O Nizam! “You Made me Bride, Took Away my Tilak” – How Sufis Converted Hindu Women

Hindus are right when they say that it is not possible to establish social contact between Hindus and Muslims because such contact can only mean contact between women from one side and men from the other. – Dr B R Ambedkar, Pakistan or the Partition of India (1940)

These words from Dr Ambedkar are pure gold. They hold true to this date. Dr Ambedkar discusses the strange Muslim male psyche that wants to interact with women of other faiths but doesn’t let its women interact with men of other faiths. Love/rape Jihad can no longer be brushed aside as figment of Hindutva’s imagination. This is harsh reality of today that agencies, commissions and rational people have started realising.

If Kerala witnessed, in few years, 2600 odd Hindu women converting to Islam to marry Muslim men against just 2 Muslim women converting to Hinduism to marry Hindu men, it can not be natural. 2600 vs 2 (national stats of absolute numbers must be much worse) requires a huge, organised and coordinated game played by one side on the clueless other. One can check how many Hindu women were made wives by Muslim men and vice versa and how many Hindu men were killed by family of Muslim wife/lover and vice versa. You will see words of Dr Ambedkar in action in every local newspapers from West UP, WB, Kerala, Assam, Maharashtra, Pakistan and other Indian states. “We kept your women in beds for 1000 years” is a common slang used by a community in West UP, Hyderabad and elsewhere.

My men-your women madness that came with Islamic invaders is so mean that Hindus took 1300 years to even recognise it. Even today, not many Indians are comfortable discussing this phenomenon even with best of friends. Revered Islamic literature and all popular translations of ‘holy’ scriptures are full of references that can throw light on this phenomenon.

Please do some research to find what Quran, Hadith (sayings of Prophet Muhammad), Seerat (life of Muhammad), Sharia (Islamic laws) and Fatwas (Islamic judgements) say about Non-Muslims, idol-worshippers, marriage between Muslim women and non-Muslim men, Jihad against ‘Kafirs’, killing of men, abduction of Kafir women, taking women as sex-slaves, converting masses on sword’s point, spreading Islam to last man in the world, Ghazwa e Hind, and complete annihilation of idolaters & their faith.

According to Dr Ambedkar, not one Islamic invader in india was a mere looter. They were all filled with extreme zeal of Islamic conquest. “These Muslim invasions were not undertaken merely out of lust for loot or conquest. There was another object behind them… there is no doubt that striking a blow at the idolatry and polytheism of Hindus and establishing Islam in India was also one of the aims of this expedition.” – Pakistan or the Partition of India (published 1940) 

Abduction of women, taking them as sex-slaves, converting them to Islam, producing children to contribute to the numbers of Muslim armies was established part of doctrine of early conquests. But an interesting phenomenon also developed in parallel. Some ‘good’ cops were unleashed on Hindus undergoing slaughter, rape, Jaziya (heavy ransom money paid by Kafirs to state to stay alive in Muslim rule) and religious persecution.

With every butcher came a Sufi poet. With butchery of Ghazni, Ghori, Khilji, and Babur came Sufi Shayari of Moinuddin, Nizamuddin, Farid, and Khusro. Not that latter were enlightened souls who valued Hindu lives but they adopted softer approach to Islamise India. While Salar Ghazis, Khiljis and Baburs would kill & erect towers of Hindu skulls and terrorise Hindus to make them accept Islam, Sufis ‘saints’ like Nizamuddin, Moinuddin Chisty, Farid, and Amir Khusro would show ‘miracles’ of Allah’s prowess to ‘idolater’ Hindus to give them proof of One Allah, Islam’s divinity and Hinduism’s futility to make conversion of those to Islam possible who couldn’t be converted by sword.

Islamic butchery of Hindus was complemented by Sufi ‘healing’. According to Moinuddin Chisty’s biography, Prophet himself gave him ‘good’ news of Islamic conquest of Hindus in dream at hands of Muhammad Ghori. Another Sufi Amir Khusro who is commemorated by Govts in India till date for his contribution in arts & Indian culture (!) was a salaried historian cum sycophant in Darbar of greatest butcher Alauddin Khilji.

Let us see how, apart from physical abduction, rape and enslavement, Hindu women were lured/trapped into following Islam. This was subtle Sufi style which Hindus fail to recognise even till date. Look at the celebrated Sufi Amir Khusro and some of his Hindi poems

छाप तिलक सब छीनी रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
प्रेम भटी का मदवा पिलाइके
मतवारी कर लीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
गोरी गोरी बईयाँ, हरी हरी चूड़ियाँ
बईयाँ पकड़ धर लीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
बल बल जाऊं मैं तोरे रंग रजवा
अपनी सी रंग दीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
खुसरो निजाम के बल बल जाए
मोहे सुहागन कीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
छाप तिलक सब छीनी रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके

English translation:

You’ve taken away
my looks,
my Tilak – faith,
with your glance.

You gave me wine
of your love,
You’ve intoxicated me
with your glance.

My fair wrists
with green bangles
are in your tight possession

with your glance.

I am yours,
I have your colour
You have poured it on me
with your glance

My life is now yours, Oh, Nizam,
You’ve made me your bride,

With your glance.

(Sadly, this Islamist’s poem has been adopted by many Hindu Bhajan Samrats as some great Hindu Bhajan. You may find hundreds of its versions today. Sometimes cluelessness of Hindus amazes me!)

जिसका पिया संग बीते सावन,
उस दुल्हन की रैन सुहागन।

जिस सावन में पिया घर नाहि,

तुम ही जतन करो ऐ री सखी री,

बहुत दिन बीते पिया को देखे,
अरे कोई जाओ, पिया को बुलाय लाओ

बहुत रही बाबुल घर दुल्हन, चल तोरे पी ने बुलाई।
बहुत खेल खेली सखियन से, अन्त करी लरिकाई।
न्हाय धोय के बस्तर पहिरे, सब ही सिंगार बनाई।
बिदा करन को कुटुम्ब सब आए, सगरे लोग लुगाई।
चार कहार मिल डोलिया उठाई, संग परोहत नाई।
चले ही बनेगी होत कहाँ है, नैनन नीर बहाई।
अन्त बिदा हो चलि है दुल्हिन, काहू कि कछु न बने आई।
मौज-खुसी सब देखत रह गए, मात पिता और भाई।
मोरी कौन संग लगन धराई, धन-धन तेरि है खुदाई।
बिन मांगे मेरी मंगनी जो कीन्ही, नेह की मिसरी खिलाई।
अंगुरि पकरि मोरा पहुँचा भी पकरे, कँगना अंगूठी पहिराई।
एक के नाम कर दीनी सजनी, पर घर की जो ठहराई।
नौशा के संग मोहि कर दीन्हीं, लाज संकोच मिटाई।
सोना भी दीन्हा रुपा भी दीन्हा बाबुल दिल दरियाई।
गहेल गहेली डोलति आँगन मा पकर अचानक बैठाई।
बैठत महीन कपरे पहनाये, केसर तिलक लगाई
गुण नहीं एक औगुन बहोतेरे, कैसे नोशा रिझाई।
खुसरो चले ससुरारी सजनी संग, नहीं कोई आई।

दैया री मोहे भिजोया री

जाहि के रंग से शोख रंग सनगी
खूब ही मल मल के धोया री।
पीर निजाम के रंग में भिजोया री।

हजरत ख्वाजा संग..।
अरब यार तेरो (तोरी) बसंत मनायो,
सदा रखिए लाल गुलाल।
हजरत ख्वाजा संग खेलिए धमाल।

जब यार देखा नैन भर दिल की गई चिंता उतर
ऐसा नहीं कोई अजब राखे उसे समझाए कर ।

जब आँख से ओझल भया, तड़पन लगा मेरा जिया
हक्का इलाही क्या किया, आँसू चले भर लाय कर ।

तू तो हमारा यार है, तुझ पर हमारा प्यार है
तुझ दोस्ती बिसियार है एक शब मिली तुम आय कर ।

जाना तलब तेरी करूँ दीगर तलब किसकी करूँ
तेरी जो चिंता दिल धरूँ, एक दिन मिलो तुम आय कर ।

मेरी जो मन तुम ने लिया, तुम उठा गम को दिया
तुमने मुझे ऐसा किया, जैसा पतंगा आग पर ।

खुसरो कहै बातों ग़ज़ब, दिल में न लावे कुछ अजब
कुदरत खुदा की है अजब, जब जिव दिया गुल लाय कर ।

जो मैं जानती बिसरत हैं सैय्याँ
जो मैं जानती बिसरत हैं सैय्याँ, घुँघटा में आग लगा देती,
मैं लाज के बंधन तोड़ सखी पिया प्यार को अपने मान लेती।
इन चूरियों की लाज पिया रखाना, ये तो पहन लई अब उतरत न।
मोरा भाग सुहाग तुमई से है मैं तो तुम ही पर जुबना लुटा बैठी।
मोरे हार सिंगार की रात गई, पियू संग उमंग की बात गई

पियू संत उमंग मेरी आस नई।

अब आए न मोरे साँवरिया, मैं तो तन मन उन पर लुटा देती।
घर आए न तोरे साँवरिया, मैं तो तन मन उन पर लुटा देती।

मोहे प्रीत की रीत न भाई सखी, मैं तो बन के दुल्हन पछताई सखी।
होती न अगर दुनिया की शरम मैं तो भेज के पतियाँ बुला लेती।
उन्हें भेज के सखियाँ बुला लेती।
जो मैं जानती बिसरत हैं सैय्याँ।

जो पिया आवन कह गए अजहुँ न आए,

ऐ जो पिया आवन कह गए अजुहँ न आए।
अजहुँ न आए स्वामी हो।
स्वामी हो, स्वामी हो।
आवन कह गए, आए न बाहर मास।
जो पिया आवन कह गए अजहुँ न आए।

बन के पंछी भए बावरे, ऐसी बीन बजाई सांवरे
तार तार की तान निराली, झूम रही सब वन की डाली। (डारी)
पनघट की पनिहारी ठाढ़ी, भूल गई खुसरो पनिया भरन को।

These are just a few samples. Khusro’s Hindi ‘poetry’ is full of fantasies of Hindu woman wearing Hindu religious/cultural symbols – Tilak, bangles, red Chunari etc. She is dying to get attention of her not-so-interested ‘Piya’ Nizam. Sometimes the Nizam ‘steals her Tilak’, holds her fair and delicate wrists full of green bangles tightly and makes her his bride. Many times, the scenarios are same as popular Hindu stories of Krishna and Gopis. There are Panghat, Matki, teasing of women but in place of Krishna, there is a Nizam and so on..

Q. You are a fanatic. You don’t understand poetry. These lines were written by Amir Khusro for Nizamuddin Auliya – a Sufi saint in his devotion. In Muslim poetry, it was common for men to portray themselves as bride craving for closeness with her groom – the spiritual master. Your cheap mentality sees Love Jihad everywhere.

A. How about a few poems like below for devotion?

बुर्क़ा हिजाब सब छीनी रे कान्हा नैना मिलाइके
जाम ए मुहब्बत मोको पिलाइके
नशे में चूर कर लीन्ही रे कान्हा नैना मिलाइके
गोरे गोरे जिस्म पर स्याह ताबीज़वा
कमरिया पकड़ धर लीन्ही रे कान्हा नैना मिलाइके
महबूब तो कान्हा के सदके जाए
केसरिया रंग नहलाई रे कान्हा नैना मिलाइके
खुसरो कृष्ण के चरणों में जाए
बना खाविंद मोरा कान्हा नैना मिलाइके

बुर्क़ा हिजाब सब छीनी रे कान्हा नैना मिलाइके

I threw a similar challenge at a mob of Islamists and seculars in IIT Kanpur when they normalised hate for idolatry and sang a Pakistani Islamist’s lines “Sab butt uthvaaye jaayenge bus naam rahega Allah ka” (when all idols will be removed.. only Allah’s name will remain..). They said it’s all metaphor. All went in hiding the moment they were asked to repeat the same lines replacing ‘butt’ with ‘Allah/Rasul’ and ‘Allah’ with ‘Shiva’. Problem with these Urdu poets is they never demean Allah/Rasul/Islamic symbols even metaphorically. And the stupid secularism never asks them why! It can only side with butchers in attacking idolatry/Hindu faith. Khusro was an Islamist Jihadi. In poetry, he made a Nizam

rub Tilak off a woman’s forehead (even metaphorically, the woman with Tilak must be Hindu)
hold a woman wearing bangles (even metaphorically, the woman with bangles must be Hindu)
make her his bride (even metaphorically, woman whose Tilak was removed and who became Nizam’s bride must be a Hindu convert to Islam)
Saanvre, Matki, Panghat etc used exclusively for Krishna in Indian literature are extensively used and cleverly connected with Nizam instead of Krishna

Q. What is the proof that Khusro wrote this to trap Hindu women? What would he achieve by this?

A. Same that his own father Saifuddin achieved by abducting and converting his Hindu mother (a Rajput Rawat) to Islam (Bibi Daulatnaz).

Same that ‘saint’ Moinuddin Chisti of Khusro’s Sufi tradition achieved by getting a minor daughter of a Hindu Raja abducted after getting her father killed, converting her to Islam and doing Nikah at Prophet’s commands.

Same that Moinuddin’s Ajmer Sharif’s official caretakers achieved by trapping thousands of minor girls, raping, filming, blackmailing, converting them to Islam and forcing them into flesh-trade. Google 1992 Ajmer Rape Scandal to know how it was done.

Same that hundreds of Sufi shrines across Pakistan & India achieve by converting young & minor girls to Islam.

Same that Khusro achieved by portraying abduction of Deval Rani – an unfortunate baby girl whose mother was abducted by Alauddin Khilji when she had infant in her lap, whose father was killed when she was 10 again by the same butcher, who was abducted by same Khilji who abducted her mother 10 years ago, who was put in same Harem at age of 10 years with her mother, who was converted to Islam like her mother and married off to Khilji’s son Khizr Khan, who underwent rapes and tortures by Islamic butchers who usurped power one after another – as some love story which he named ‘Ishqiya’.

Same that Khusro achieved when he wrote below with swelled chest in Islamic pride over victories of greatest butcher cum rapist cum pedophile cum homosexual of all times – Alauddin Khilji. See how much hate this Khusro had for Hindus and their faith. Read bold part carefully. [All quotes are from Khusro’s Khaza in ul Fatah – Campaigns of Alauddin Khilji]

Khusro celebrating helpless Kafir women & children being sold in Delhi’s slave market

“The Mughals (was the time when Mughals were still non-Muslims), taken by surprise, begged for water from the Muslim army. They were all taken captive along with their women and children. A great victory had crowned the Muslim armies. Thousands of Mughals were sent to the fort of Naraniya with ropes round their necks; their women and children were brought to the Delhi slave-market and sold away like Hindustani slaves… He went there and put unhesitatingly to the sword all the Mughals who had been brought to the fort after the victory. Streams ran with their foul blood.

Most of the Mughals were slain.. their women and children were taken prisonersout of fifty or sixty thousand Mughals not more than three or four thousand were left alive. Ghazi Malik.. had Kank and his comrades thrown under the elephants’ feet.. and then constructed a tower of Mughal headswomen and children were sold in Delhi and the rest of Hindustan like Hindi prisoners of war.”

Khusro celebrating desecration of Somnath, religious slaughter of Hindus, rivers of blood and forced conversion to Islam

Having described the dagger thrusts in many victories over the Mughals, I now come to the conquest of the Hindus of Gujrat : As the sword of the Emperor of land and sea had been plentifully smeared with the blood of the infidel Mughals, he wished to wash off this clotted impurity in the immense ocean. Consequently, on Wednesday, the 20th Jamadiul Awwal, 699 a.h., a fortunate day, he issued a firman.. to send an army, like clouds and rain, to the coast of Gujrat to destroy the temple of Somnath.

Like an angel directing the clouds, the late Ulugh Khan (May God make him drink out of the fountain of His forgiveness!) was appointed to lead the victorious army. Resolved to conquer, the clouds moved towards the sea; and as the foundations of the temple were water-deep, they wished to bring its summit to the water also. When the Imperial army reached the City of that land, the sword of the righteous monarch completely conquered the province, which, adorned like a bride, had escaped so many emperors of the past.

Much blood was shed. A general invitation was issued to all the beasts and birds of the forest to a continuous feast of meat and drink. In the marriage banquet, at which the Hindus were sacrificed , animals of all kinds ate them to their satisfaction. Then the Khan A ‘Azam moved his army towards the sea. Round the temple of Somnath, which is the centre of Hindu worship, he drew a circle with his troops, and planted his Khaim spear so high towards the centre that its sharp point almost pierced the sky. The banner of Islam was elevated to the equator, while every arch emerging from the two semi-circles, into which the army was divided, -without fail passed its arrow through the black dot of infidelity.

So the temple of Somnath was made to bow towards the Holy Mecca; and as the temple lowered its head and jumped into the sea, you may say that the building first said its prayers and then had a bath. The idols, who had fixed their abode midway to the House of Abraham (Mecca), and there waylaid stragglers , were broken to pieces in pursuance of Abraham’s tradition . But one idol, the greatest of them all, was sent by the maliks to the Imperial Court, so that the breaking of their helpless god may be demonstrated to the idol-worshipping Hindus.

It seemed as if the tongue of the Imperial sword explained the meaning of the text: So he (Abraham) broke them (the idols) into pieces except the chief of them, that haply they may return to it .’ Such a pagan country, the Mecca of the infidels, now became the Medina of Islam. The followers of Abraham now acted as guides in place of the Brahman leaders. The robust-hearted true believers rigorously broke all idols and temples wherever they found them. Owing to the war , Takbir and Shahadat was heard on every side ; even the idols by their breaking affirmed the existence of God.

Khusro praises Islamic sword that purified land with Kafir blood

In this ancient land of infidelity the call to prayers rose so high that it was heard in Baghdad and Madam (Ctesiphon) while the ‘Alai proclamation (Khutbd) resounded in the dome of Abraham and over the water of Zatnzam . As to the city of Nahrwala and the city of Kambayat (Cambay), which the sea raises its head to swallow up, as well as the other cities situated on the coast — though the sea beats against them with force, yet the wave of the Muslim army did not turn to the sea to wash off the contamination of infidelity from the land, but cleansed the ground by a deluge of infidel blood, for if blood is not clean, and cannot cleanse, yet the sword is a purifier ; and the sword having overcome the infidels, their blood became pure also. My object in this simile is not real blood, but (only to show) that the sword of Islam purified the land as the sun purifies the earth.

Khusro celebrating seize of Ranthambhor fort – hunger, thirst, helplessness of Hindus, burning of Hindu daughters, and sacrifice of men therein

In a single campaign Ranthambhor was conquered, and by the decree of providence the land of infidelity became the land of Islam.

When the celestial canopy of the Shadow of God cast its shade over the hill of Rantambhor and the conqueror of the world emitted his heat like the sun over the unlucky inhabitants of that place, the days of their life began to decline. The towering fort, which talked with the stars through its lofty pinnacles, was surrounded by the troops. The Saturnian Hindus, who are related to that planet, had for purposes of defence collected fire in all the ten towers, thus turning the towers of earth into towers of fire. Everyday the fire of those people of Hell extended its heated tongue to the light of Islam. But as the Mussalmans, men of pure elements

May the country prosper under such an Emperor till water and earth, fire and air continue to existA mountain moved against the infidel fort, and the hearts of the Hindus began to fail them... Hradas inside the fort, being the brides of the Hindus, had borne them female offsprings of s tone and were openly throwing them out

Famine prevailed to such an extent within the fort, that they would have purchased a grain of rice for two grains of gold but could not get it. The fire of hunger had roasted their hearts within their earthen bosoms — and they wished to open their bosoms and cut up their roasted hearts… After the nauruz, the Sun of Justice (the Sultan) shone full on the Rantambhor hill and every day its heat and light increased, till finally the lofty fort, which drew its water- supply from the azure sky, became a desert from lack of vegetation and water. The world seemed smaller to the Rai (of Rantambhor) than the prison within a rose-bud.

So in his desperation one night he lighted a high fire, which rose like a mountain-tulip on the hill, and threw into it the rosy-coloured young maidens, who had grown up in his arms. After he had personally despatched to hell these deserving inmates of paradise, he came.. with one or two other unbelievers, bent on sacrificing his life with honour. Though the morning breeze had begun to blow, the narcissus-eyes of the watch- men had not yet closed in sleep…

Thus on the fortunate date, Tuesday, the 3rd Zil Qa’dy 700 a . h . such an impregnable fort was taken through an exercise of the strong will. The title of the ‘ Place of Islam ’ was sent from heaven for this house of infidelity. The inhabited parts of Jhabun, that old land of paganism, became the ‘ New City ‘ of the true believers. The great Imperial banner stood over the iron fort like a key in a lock ; for it was the key for the conquest of southern lands.

Khusro celebrating destruction of all temples and plunder of Hindu city by ‘holy warriors’

First the temple of Bahir Deo, the support of which he had invoked, was destroyed. Then the houses of infidelity were overthrown by the strong arm of the holy warriors. Many strongly built temples, which the trumpet of the Day of Judgment could not have shaken, went to sleep on the ground as the morning breeze of Islam blew upon them. The stones of the infidel fort had grown deaf from hearing the Hindu conches ; but now they re-echoed the (Muslim) call for prayer, Where formerly the loud pealing of the Brahman’s kettles had torn the ears of the Hindus, now the sound of the Prophet’s Khutba filled true believing ears with a melodious joy...”

There are hundreds of pages this man Amir Khusro wrote on how the sword of Islam killed Hindus, enslaved women, sold them in slave markets, demolished Hindu temples to humiliate Hindu faith and establish Islam – the only true religion. He was not a mere commentator or a neutral historian but someone who took part in military campaigns of Alauddin Khilji against Hindus in pure Islamic zeal. His sycophancy and approval of a butcher like Khilji finds no parallel in history.

Q. Still, we studied in school that Amir Khusro was a great Sufi mystic and an ideal example of India’s Ganga-Jamuni composite culture. Why are you bringing all this to demonise him?

A. Because millions of women were enslaved at sword’s point by Khiljis as recorded by Khusros in history of India. Millions were fooled/forced into accepting Islam like today’s Pakistan and India. Statistics prove that religious conversion of Non-Muslim women is primarily carried out at Sufi shrines. From history of Khusros, Moinuddins and Khiljis, it is crystal clear that they and their followers were/are on a mission. Mission of eradicating Hinduism/ idolatry from earth, taking women as Maal e Ghanimat and convert all to Islam. Those who wish to remain fools may wait for Khiljis.

1000 girls abducted every year, 2 Million Hindus chained labours – Why Pak Hindus Need CAA -2

Disclaimer : By Muslim/Islamist/Islam in this post, I mean people/faith of people like Akbar Owaisi, Sharjeel Imam, Zakir Naik and those who believe ‘Hindus are Kafirs’ and ‘Kafirs will burn in hell’. If you believe idol-worshippers too will go to Jannat, this is not for you.

I reject anti-CAA protests. CAA-NRC is an excuse. Real causes behind the uproar are seeds of religious supremacy sowed in masses since childhood through religious literature & history of ‘ruling India/Hindus for 1000 years‘, hate for Kafirs, desire for a caliphate (a hidden desire in minds of certain religious clerics across globe) and mobilisation of a religious community for same. This is a well thought-out plan where Islamists like Sharjeel Imam (mastermind of much celebrated Shaheen Bagh, ex-IIT, JNU student who wants to cut off Assam from rest of India militarily) are at the core and some common Muslims, leftists, liberals and gullible students across India are being used as disguise to give this Jihad a legitimacy among masses.

Anti-CAA leader, Hyd MLA Akbar Owaisi reminds us how his ancestors waged war on India and ruled it for 800 years.

28 of my family members were massacred with chants of Pakistan ka matlab kya La ilah illillah, tera mera rishta kya La ilah illillah in Gujranwala, Pakistan in 1947. If Jai Shri Ram became ‘Hindutva war cry’ coz it was allegedly chanted by someone while killing a man over beef (stories with little evidence), liberals fail to explain why the chants of Tera mera rishta kya La ilaah illillah or Sab but uthvaaye jaayenge, bus naam rahega Allah ka in anti-CAA protests are not the declaration of war by Pakistan(is) in India!

Millions were butchered and raped with same slogans in 1947, 1971 & 1990. Deliberately using these chants today in opposing an Act meant to provide security to persecuted minorities of Pakistan is no coincidence. It is clear warning to a Hindu survivor of 1947 violence like me some of whose ancestors were fortunate enough to escape death in Gujranwala. “We will catch you in Delhi if you help remaining Hindus of Gujranwala today.”

We moved on after migrating to India. We thought history is history. We thought Kafir-haters have got their land. Now India will be home to persecuted Hindu-Sikhs like me. But I was wrong. We forgot our history. Those who created Pakistan but never went there didn’t. The agenda is not yet finished. Hans ke liya hai Pakistan, khoon se lenge Hindustan (we snatched Pakistan away with smile, will take India with blood) was often used by rioters in West UP where I spent my childhood. This aggression must be checked at all levels – physical, religious, social, psychological and intellectual – by the state.

Let’s analyse arguments of anti-CAA fanatics one by one.

Q. What does CAA do?

A. It simply fast-tracks process of granting citizenship to the persecuted non-Muslim minorities of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Read the Act.

Q. CAA is against constitution of India.

A. CAA is an Act passed by both houses of parliament & signed by President of biggest democracy of the world. 200 women at Shaheen Bagh or a PhD student in African Studies at Sabarmati Dhaba, JNU can’t dictate what is unconstitutional. Anti-CAA protests are lynching of law of the land. Just like a lynch-mob believes they have right to decide what is crime and what punishment criminal should be given surpassing all courts & law, anti-CAA protestors believe they are highest authority on constitution and they can block roads, burn buses/trains, attack police, f*** Hindutva, and moral police law-abiding citizens.

Q. Look look, how can a secular India promise citizenship only to Non-Muslims? CAA is anti-Muslim.

A. Wrong. Anyone can claim Indian citizenship anytime outside CAA. A Pakistani Muslim Adnan Sami did it and got it.

Q. But under CAA, only Non-Muslims are included. Why not Muslims?

A. If there is flood in Kerala, the extra relief, food and medicines would be dispatched to Kerala separately. It doesn’t mean the other parts of India are deprived of food or medicines. If persecution of Non-Muslims is highest in these countries, special and quick relief will be made for Non-Muslims. Instead of wasting energy opposing CAA, oppose Islamic States like Pak that forced India to bring CAA in first place.

Q. India is a secular country. It can’t discriminate among immigrants on basis of religion.

A. How many secular laws does the Muslim community follow? India’s secularism is never under attack when

  • Muslim man could have 4 wives. Non-Muslim is jailed
  • Muslim man could divorce wives unilaterally over SMS
  • Halala persecution of Muslim women
  • No property rights after divorce
  • Everything barbaric under Sharia

How many government of India/states schemes exclusively for minority/Muslims in last 70 years have you opposed or refused to take? How many times did you hit streets, vandalise public property, burn trains and attack police against below schemes exclusively meant for Non-Hindus, many exclusively for Muslims? Here is 3-page list of current schemes

If special and exclusive schemes, scholarships, jobs etc for Indian Muslims didn’t hurt secularism of India, CAA won’t either. Don’t worry.

Q. But still, CAA excludes Muslims from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

A. Why are you so worried about Muslims of outside? Specially Pakistan? Does this Act say anything against Indian Muslims? Or snatches anything away from Indian Muslims?

Q. If it is that easy, why are there so many people protesting on streets? This is not Gandhi’s India. This is not Dr Ambedkar’s India.

A. Why are there so many fools in the world? Let them be fools. You must be smart. Dr Ambedkar’s constitution is for all Indians.

Anti-CAA protests are anti-Dalit

85% of Pak Hindus are Dalits, tribals and backward classes. They are treated as untouchables in Pak. There are separate water-taps for Hindu kids at schools. Why is it that an Act that has been introduced to give relief to millions of Dalits is being opposed tooth and nail in name of Dr B R Ambdekar? Is it not akin to pushing a drowning kid further down and dedicating the act to his helpless father?

During partition, many Dalits were not allowed to leave Pak because Jinnah’s country needed Non-Muslims to clean their toilets. This is reality. Even today, many vacancies for Sanitary jobs in Pakistan are exclusively floated for Non-Muslims.

51% of Pak Hindus are bonded (chained) labours

‘We were kept chained up after work, sometimes for days even, in a dark room without food,’ recalled Kasturi, a bonded labour. Image & caption by FARAS GHANI/AL JAZEERA

According to an estimate, total Pak population today ~ 197 Million

Share of Hindu population = 1.85%

Hindu population in Pak ~ 3.6 Million

According to a Dawn’s report in 2015, over 2.3 million people were bonded labour in Pak, with over 80 per cent of them being Hindus. (bonded labours are people tied in chains so that they can’t escape, exploited in fields, factories, brick plants. Whole families are tied in chains, kept as slaves, women are raped, sold as sex-slaves sometimes by ‘owners’)

Total Hindu bonded labour ~ 1.84 Million

It means more than 50% of total Hindu population in Pakistan is bonded labour.

Know that when anyone protests in India against granting citizenship to such victims of extreme persecution, slavery & torture that can make anyone go insane, it’s not for Dr Ambedkar. It is exactly against Babasaheb’s ideas, people and country. Reality is, all these masked men & women hiding behind Dr Ambedkar’s name hate him and Dalits to the core. Just ask a CAA protestor, why are they against relief and freedom to 1.84 Million Dalit-Hindus?

Litmus test : Ask a CAA protestor, if Dr Ambedkar is so dear and respected in Shaheen Bagh circles, will Dr Ambedkar go to Jannat? You will have your answer.

Q. CAA is bogus coz it nowhere defines what the persecuted minority is. How will you make sure whether a Ramchand who has migrated from Pakistan was indeed persecuted or is just tricking us for taking citizenship?

A. Millions of Hindu-Sikh-Buddhists were slaughtered, raped, converted to Islam and displaced in celebration of Pakistan’s creation. Non-Muslim population of Pakistan (including Bangladesh) was reduced from sizeable number to a minuscule one. More than half a Crore Hindu-Sikhs were kicked out of their ancestral land. Even after this massive ethnic cleansing, Non-Muslims constituted around 14% of Pakistan’s population in 1951 census. Today, they are at 2-3% (5-7% if Bangladesh is accounted).

I really get amazed at shamelessness with which a Javed Akhtar or an Arfa Khanum asks for proofs of persecution from Pak/Af Hindu-Sikhs! What is bigger proof that more than 50% of them are bonded labours who are chained like animals and raped like sex-slaves?

Ask parents of those 1,000+ Hindu-Sikh girls (mostly minor) who are abducted every year (as per Pakistani reports, real numbers would be much higher), raped, converted to Islam forcibly and married off to Muslim men. Should all of Hindu-Sikh-Buddhists in Pak-Af wait till their daughters get raped in order to prove persecution to anti-CAA brigade in India?

And no, it’s not an act of few. Pakistan’s state promotes trapping and conversion of Non-Muslim girls to Islam. Read this to know how abduction, rape and conversion of Hindu girls is encouraged through Pak movies.

What happened at Nankana Sahib? A Sikh girl was abducted, converted to Islam and married off to a Muslim. Later, a rabid mob surrounded Shri Nankana Sahib – Mecca of Sikhs – and threatened to demolish the Gurudwara and establish mosque over it. This happens with Hindu-Sikh girls, Temples-Gurudwaras on daily basis.

Remember Ghotki violence? A false blasphemy complaint against Hindu school principal led to attacks on temples & Hindu households and desecration of idols. While one Babri Mosque is still remembered, thousands of temples/idols were demolished in Pak/Ban in last 70 years. Is there no shame left?

Hindu temple attacked in Ghotki, Sindh, idols desecrated over false charge of blasphemy against Hindu school teacher

Who can forget Asia Bibi, a Pak Christian woman, mother of 5, charged under false allegations of ‘blasphemy’, sentenced to death by Pak court? For 9 years, she and her family lived life worse than hell. A Governor who spoke in her support was assassinated by his own bodyguard. another Minister of minority affairs, a Christian, was gunned down for raising voice for the lady. At last, under international pressure, she was acquitted by Supreme Court. She had to be taken directly to the airport from the court and was flown out of the fanatic country as dozens of Fatwas over her ‘head’ were waiting outside.

No, it’s not the act of ‘few’. Pakistan officially declares Non-Muslims as 2nd class citizens. No Non-Muslim can become PM/President/Army Chief as per Pak constitution. Pak sitting ministers openly mock Hindus and call them as ‘idolaters’ & ‘cow-piss drinkers’.

Q. Ok. But what about persecuted Muslims of these countries?

A. We thought Pakistan and Bangladesh were created for that purpose only!

Q. Aren’t there any persecuted Muslims in Pak/Ban/Af?

A. If Muslims are still persecuted there, there is no point of existence of Pak/Ban. In that case, instead of opposing CAA, oppose existence of states of Pak/Ban.

Q. Look, majority of Muslims i.e. Sunnis are safe. But minority sects like Shia and Ahmadi are persecuted there. Why not include them in CAA?

A. It is not as simple. Basis of Pakistan was not any Muslim persecution in India. According to Jinnah, “Hindu and Muslim are two separate races. Hindus worship cow. We eat them. There is nothing in common.” Jinnah thought of Muslims as purer and superior race that could no longer live with “Napak/impure” Hindus. According to Jinnah and ALL MUSLIM CLERICS, Non-Muslims are Kafirs and will burn in hell for their disbelief in Islam.

On the basis of religious superiority and hatred, Shia Jinnah created Islamic Pakistan. His close Ahmadi aide Muhammad Zafarullah Khan became foreign minister of Pakistan. (A secular Hindu named Jogendra Nath Mandal also joined Pakistan as law minister but returned to India in 1950 crying)

Question is, have Shias and Ahmadis of Pakistan rejected Pakistan or idea of Islamic supremacy? Have they rejected hate for idolater Hindus? Have they started preaching that even an idolater Hindu, a Hanuman Bhakt Hindu, a polytheist Hindu, a prophet-rejector Hindu, an Ali-rejector Hindu and a Ghulam Ahmad-rejector Hindu too can go to Jannat?

Help me find their literature that accommodates idolater/polytheist Hindus as Jannati (who will go to Islamic heaven). Currently, I can see Quran of Shias having hate for idolater-Kafir Hindus (9/5, 98/6) and works of last prophet of Ahmadi sect – Mirza Ghulam Ahmad Qadiyani – declaring Hindus as ‘Said ul Qareeb‘ – Nearest prey (for Ahmadi hunters).

Q. Still, India must accommodate ALL as it is secular.

A. Why shouldn’t Pakistan, Afghanistan, Saudi and Somalia accommodate ALL persecuted Muslims and non-Muslims?

Q. Haha, there you go. Saudi/Pak/Af constitution is not secular, you Sanghi dumbo. Their laws are different. Who are we to decide what they should follow and what they shouldn’t?

A. Hmm. So just because India chose to be secular, it should get punished and sermoned by shameless defenders of these fanatic states? You want your brand of idiotic secularism for India but Islam as state religion in Muslim countries! Why are you not a traitor?

And just like you don’t have issues with Saudis having anti-Non-Muslim laws, you shouldn’t have issues with a law that was passed by elected government of India.

Q. I don’t care what happens in Pak/Saudi. I only care for my secular India. I love my India.

A. Then love India. Respect its laws, stop burning buses and stop crying for Pakistani Muslims. Stop crying for Palestinian Muslims.

Q. What about atheists and jews in Pakistan?

A. Do you love atheists and Jews?

Q. Yes.

A. Will atheists and Jews go to Jannat (Islamic heaven)?

Q.

A. Why silent? (silent because as per CAA protestors, Jannat only belongs to a particular Mazhab)

Q.

A. Don’t pretend to be saviours of Jews and atheists. All you want is to oppose Hindu-Sikh-Buddhists who want to save their future daughters from abduction, rape and conversion.

In 2017, Pakistan had only 800 Jews out of population of over 200000000. They can apply for Indian citizenship anytime. Many have already moved to Mumbai. Others too can. There was no need for any special provision for them.

Dealing with atheism in Pakistan is tricky for several reasons.

– Atheism is not well defined, very difficult to identify atheists as a group. They can anyway apply for Indian citizenship through regular process

– Declared atheists are most times declared as blasphemers in Pakistan and fanatic countries. They get lynched by rabid mobs or are systematically persecuted by law. The punishment can be as big as death.

Hence in order to help atheists of Pakistan under CAA, the protestors against CAA must work towards stopping Pakistan from punishing atheists under blasphemy. A small question to all Mullahs and Muslims worried about atheists of Pakistan – “what does Islam say about apostate? What should be done to a Muslim who has renounced Islam in a Muslim state? What should be done to a Muslim who rejected Prophet Muhammad as prophet?”

Q. This government wants to do Hindu-Muslim using CAA. If it was indeed about citizenship, many Hindus are also persecuted in Sri Lanka and Myanmar. Why not include Hindu/Christians of Sri Lanka also in CAA? Why only Pak, Af and Ban? You clearly want to demonise Muslim countries and Muslims.

A. Few minutes ago you were saying you don’t care about what Muslim countries do. Now you seem worried when CAA exposes persecution of three Muslim countries towards Non-Muslims. Time to reject hypocrisy.

How many times did you burn buses-trains, attack police and ask law-makers – “why are not Hindus of India given right to marry 4 women like Muslims”? You went too far till Sri Lanka! Are you really burning India in name of protest because you care about Tamil Hindus of Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka can never be compared with Pakistan. There are no historical baggage. On contrary, Hindu-Buddhist composite culture of Sri Lanka has celebrated this cultural unison for millennia. A Brahmana Ravana ruled Lanka in Ramayana. When he wronged, Lord Ram liberated Lanka from his clutches and gave throne to the native Dharmic Vibheeshan. This is the relationship we enjoy with Sri Lanka. There have been turbulences during and post LTTE Tamil conflicts. We hope the bloodshed stops and sanity prevails. And it will.

But those comparing Sri Lanka and Pakistan/Af know nothing about Pakistan. They know nothing about Afghanistan. There is a complete historical context of CAA and inclusion of these three countries. For years, liberals and communists fed lies to the people of India vis a vis Islamic invasions, Islamisation of the land of India that once included whole of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh of today.

Creation of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh are bloodiest chapters in the Indian history (Hindu-Buddhist to be more accurate). Where we stand today has a long history that dates way back beyond the artificial partition of India in 1947. Hindu-Sikh-Buddhists have been living in Af-Pak for centuries. One day they were asked to leave. Many of them could. Many couldn’t. 14 Aug 1947 – creation of artificial terrorist country called Pakistan – has no relevance in the context of the history of natives that dates thousands of years back. Let’s understand context of CAA in words of Dr B R Ambedkar (Partition) :

“…fact that the areas which the Muslims want to be separated from India (Pak-Ban) have always been a part of India. Historically this is, no doubt, true. This area was a part of India when Chandragupta was the ruler; it continued to be a part of India when Hsuan Tsang, the Chinese pilgrim, visited India in the 7th century A. D. In his diary, Hsuan Tsang has recorded that India was divided into five divisions or to use his language, there were ‘five Indies’ : (1) Northern India, (2) Western India, (3) Central India, (4) Eastern India and (5) Southern India and that these five divisions contained 80 kingdoms.

According to Hsuan Tsang, Northern India comprised the Punjab proper, including Kashmir and the adjoining hill States with the whole of Eastern Afghanistan beyond the Indus, and the present Cis-Satlaj States to the west of the Sarasvati river. Thus, in Northern India there were included the districts of Kabul, Jallalabad (both in today’s Afghanistan), Peshawar, Ghazni (Af) and Bannu, which were all subject to the ruler of Kapisa, who was a Hindu Kshatriya and whose capital was most probably at Charikar, 27 miles from Kabul. In the Punjab proper, the hilly districts Taxila, Singhapura, Urasa, Punch and Rajaori, were subject to the Raja of Kashmir; while the whole of the plains, including Multan and Shorkot, were dependent on the ruler of Taki or Sangala, near Lahore. Such was the extent of the northern boundary of India at the time when Hsuan Tsang came on his pilgrimage.

It is true that when Hsuan Tsang came, not only the Punjab but what is now Afghanistan was part of India and further, the people of the Punjab and Afghanistan were either Vedic or Buddhist by religion. But what has happened since Hsuan Tsang left India?”

Read more from Baba Saheb Ambedkar how

– native Hindu-Buddhists of Af-Pak region were massacred

– their women were raped, abducted, enslaved and sold in Arab/Central Asian markets

– their faith was attacked, thousands of temples were demolished and converted to mosques

– their faith was changed to Islam by sword, Jaziya tax and humiliation

– their education centres were burned down

and more..

Historically, the Af-Pak-India region has been the natural home of Hindu-Buddhists (and all belief systems that originated in India). Seize of their land by continuous invasions shrank their numbers and boundaries.

Afghanistan was conquered. Ethnic cleansing of complete Hindu-Buddhist population happened.

Pakistan was created. Ethnic cleansing of 5-7 Million Hindu-Sikh-Buddhists happened.

Bangladesh was created. Ethnic cleansing of Hindus happened (around 3 Million Hindus killed and raped by Pakistan in 1971).

Af-Pak-Ban separated to accommodate Muslims. What should India do to millions trapped in fanatic lands? Rectify past mistakes (of allowing invaders to grow in such numbers that they could wipe us out entirely, of accepting terror state Pakistan) or appease Hindu-haters in India who would burn buses and kill policemen if any relief to raped Hindu-Sikh girls in Pakistan is given in India?

Q. Sabka khoon shaamil hai yahan ki mitti me (all gave blood for India’s independence). Muslims were at forefront of freedom struggle.

A. How is it related to CAA?

Anyway, time to bust myths. Jinnah’s Muslim League fought 1946 Indian provincial elections on issue of Pakistan. Here are the results. Except for NWFP (now in Pakistan), Muslim League won more than 90% Muslim seats across India. It means that Indian Muslims had decisively voted for Pakistan in 1946. History tells that most who voted for Pakistan never went to Pakistan.

I see many anti-CAA protesters say – “Our forefathers rejected Pakistan!”. But facts are naked in front of all. Here is Sardar Patel – greatest Indian leader post Independence – asking some questions to Indian Muslims. Owaisi, Arfa, Javed Akhtar etc and anti-CAA mobs must introspect.

Sardar Patel, Kolkata 1948, asks Indian Muslims – “Majority of you voted for Pakistan. And 2-4 Crore of you are still here. You say we doubt your patriotism. Ask yourself. Why?”

Q. CAA is prelude to NRC. NRC is ploy to throw Muslims out of India.

A. How?

Q. Many of us don’t have documents. So just coz we don’t have proper documents, will you throw us out? Hindustan kisi ke baap ka nahi hai.

A. Why on earth would one not have documents? You try it on US soil. You will be in jail. And if this is a norm, why is it a ploy to throw Muslims out? If this is a common practice (which I doubt for urban areas where most violence is taking place), Hindus, Sikhs, atheists all will be impacted alike. Why do you think NRC is anti-Muslim? Are you suggesting that Muslims alone have habit of living without papers?

Q. With CAA, government has given security to Non-Muslims. So even if they don’t have documents, they will be accommodated. But Indian Muslims without documents will be thrown out.

A. Any Non-Muslim is asked to produce Af-Pak-Ban passport under CAA. If one fails to produce any document, they will be in jail. Any Af-Pak-Ban Muslim anyway doesn’t need CAA as discussed above. How does CAA give security to Non-Muslims without documents then? And how is NRC against Indian Muslims?

In short, an Indian Hindu or a Sikh or a Parsi or a Buddhist or a Muslim will be asked to show the Indian documents. If one fails, will face SAME consequences. Persecuted Af-Pak-Ban Hindu/ Sikh/ Buddhist/ Parsi/ Christian will be asked to show Af/Pak/Ban documents. If one fails, will face consequences. What is there against Indian Muslims?

Q. We don’t have documents. Our documents burned in 2002 Gujarat riots.

A. And our patience has been burned in past and present invasions, rape, massacre and conversion of Crores. We don’t have patience for illegal occupants anymore. Show documents or leave.

We do not live in ideal times. Those who created Pakistan should at least be ashamed of what their ancestors did. You need to apologise to Lakhs of Non-Muslim daughters that are crying in Jihadis’ confinements in Pakistan. Supporting CAA-NRC would be first step towards confidence building among communities.

28 of my family members were massacred in Gujranwala because ancestors of majority of people protesting against CAA today voted and cheered for Pakistan in 1946. Can you – the protestors – give me back my family, my Haveli, my ancestral land? Can you undo Pakistan? Do I see enough hate & protests by you against Pakistan/Islamic countries for persecution of Hindus? No? It’s not in your hands? Hmm.. Then CAA too is not in your hands. Those who had to bring it have done it. Take it with grace and peace with which you created/accepted Pakistan.

Blood of my family and Lakhs others is on many hands shamelessly opposing CAA in India today. Stop playing victim when you are the aggressor. Real victims are those whose heads rolled down the Gujranwala well. Real victims are those Rinkle Kumaris who are abducted, raped and converted to Islam to never return home. Anyone who opposes protection to our daughters from Jihad is enemy of humanity. Let there be no confusion.

Go ahead India. CAA-NRC is first step towards de-radicalisation of this land of Rishis. We have long way to go.

Father, Well and 7 Daughters – Why India Needs CAA – 1

During semester end at IIT, I picked fight with a senior. He was a Malang (didn’t care about world). I said – “money is everything”. He replied – “Didn’t you have it in Gujranwala? Why did you run away from there? And what’s the guaranty that you won’t run away from Amritsar 40 years later?” I was furious. I had no idea what he was saying.

Next week, I had a train to Amritsar in night. I was going home in semester break. The Malang came to see me off to station. “You got everything in life. But.. Ask your grandfather. Could money save his family?”

Train arrived. Malang returned. But I was stunned. What did he know about my grandfather that I didn’t? The train started moving.

I was home next day. Big beautiful house. Loving parents, but always under stress of business. I am going to meet Nanaji tomorrow, I told Mom. “What happened? Stay with us for some days. Will go together to meet Nanaji. He is ill”, she told.

I was in Jalandhar next day.

I : Nanaji, what happened in 1947?  

Grandfather : Nothing, Puttar (son). What happened?

I : Where are your siblings currently?

G: I don’t have any. I was lone child of my parents.

I : How come? In your times, parents used to have 10-12 kids on an average. Why didn’t your parents have more?

G : Haha! They were great planners! Take rest now.

Next day, I was playing video game in my room. Nanaji came, sat besides me.

Grandfather : Playing Contra?

I : Yes.

G: Have you seen 7 colours of sun-rays ever?

I : No.

G : Let me show you, come to terrace.

We both went up. Beautiful sunshine. Sun was about to set.

G : Do you see the saffron?

I : Yes, whole sky is saffron!

G : There are 7 colours in this saffron. But they will be gone soon. There will be darkness all over.

I : That’s natural. It happens every evening.

G : Hmm. It happens once in centuries too. Do you know I have named 7 rays of sun as – Lajjo, Rajjo, Bhaggo, Paro, Gayo, Isho, and Urmi?

I : Why?

G : There was a Balwant Khatri in Gujranwala, a rich landlord. Big Haveli was among largest in Gujranwala. He had 7 daughters and a son from wife Prabhavati Devi.

Baldev (son) – 20
Lajwanti – 19
Rajwati – 17
Bhagvati – 16
Parvati – 15
Gayatri – 13
Ishvari – 11
Urmila – 9

Theirs was a beautiful family. A rich Punjabi Hindu Khatri family. They were looking for suitable grooms for Lajjo and Rajjo. However, something was not right in Punjab.  

Barrister Jinnah had declared Direct Action Day for Pakistan. Hindu-Sikhs knew that Gandhi Ji’s ideals can’t be defeated by some miscreants. After all Hindu-Sikhs sang Avval Allah Noor upaayaa. Hindu-Sikhs used to sing Baba Bulleh Shah, Baba Farid’s poetry and visit Sufi Mazars. After all Gujranwala was full of Jatt, Gujjar and Rajput Muslims. How could they – the blood brothers – harm their own blood?

Soon, the news of massacre of hundreds of Hindu-Sikhs started coming from nearby places. Mobs chanting Allahu Akbar and Pakistan ka matlab kya La ilaah illillah were heard shouting – “no woman of Kafir will go to India, we will take them”.

It was morning of 18th Sep, 1947. A Sikh postman almost barged into the Haveli shouting – “Lala Ji, leave the place. They are coming for your daughters. Lajjo will be Salim’s. Sheikh Muhammad will take Rajwati. Bhagwati will go to…” Lala Balwant slapped him hard. What rubbish? Salim is Mukhtar Bhai’s son. Mukhtar Bhai is like our family.

“Mukhtar Bhai only is leading the mob, Lala Ji. All Hindu-Sikhs are fleeing to India. Will go in lots of 300-400 people in an hour. Get family to city Gurudwara fast”, the Sikh shouted and fled.

Lala Ji rushed to Prabhavati who was 7 months pregnant. She was in tears already. She overheard everything.

Prabhavati : We need to go, Lala Ji.

Balwant : We are going nowhere. Sardar is lying. Mukhtar Bhai can’t do that. Ideas of Gandhi Ji can’t be defeated.

Prabhavati : It’s not time to discuss ideas. We must go. I have asked daughters to pack jewellery and papers.

Balwant : But Mukhtar Bhai… I have to talk to him.

Prabhavati : He came last month when you were not home. He told Salim likes Lajjo and wanted to do Nikah with her. Lajjo told that Salim eve-teases her with his friends. She has stopped going out because of him.

Balwant : Why didn’t you tell this earlier? I could have talked to Mukhtar Bhai.

Prabhavati : You are too naive. He himself wanted to take Lajjo for Salim. Now he is coming to take her by force. Let’s leave.

City Gurudwara was full of Hindu-Sikhs. Men with swords and spears were guarding Gurudwara boundaries. Gujranwala, known for wrestlers, had Akhadas in many temples and Gurudwaras. Well built Hindu-Sikh men were deployed at the main entrance. Many were guarding the terrace. Many were sharpening swords on the stone near the well. Women, girls, and children were terrified. Mothers had pulled Infants/kids close to them.

Suddenly, a huge cry broke the silence. It came from the Badi Masjid from across the road. A mob of thousands was shouting slogans-

Pakistan ka matlab kya la ilah illillah (Pakistan means there is no god but Allah)

Hass ke litta vai Pakistan, khoon naal lavaange Hindustan (we took Pakistan with smile, will take India with blood)

Kaafron, kattna asi dikhaavange (Kafirs, see how we butcher you)

Kise mandir vich ghanti nahi vajjugi hun (no temple will remain, no bell will ring in temples)

Hindu di janaani bistar vich, te aadmi shamshaan vich (Hindu women belong to our bed, men to crematorium)

Prabhavati was sitting near window surrounded by 7 daughters. Her only son was guarding the main gate outside. Suddenly the mob from the mosque across had turned silent for some reason. In a minute, the screams of La ilah illillah started again. And this time, the volume kept going louder.

The mob with swords, daggers, spears and chains was approaching the Gurudwara. Prabhavati was first to witness from the window. She shouted – “They are coming” and held all her kids tightly in fear.

Gates of Gurudwara were locked from inside. All men took positions inside near walls and gates. All Hindu-Sikh men were asked to listen the announcement. Sukhdev Sharma, a wrestler and priest, stood up and said –

“They are coming for our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters. Their swords are for our necks. They will ask us to convert to their faith and surrender. I have decided. I won’t surrender. I won’t convert. Neither shall I allow them to touch our women.”

There was a pin drop silence for 3 seconds. And the Hindu-Sikhs roared

“Jo bole so nihaal sat Shri Akaal! Wahe Guru Ji da Khalsa waahe Guru Ji di fateh! No one will leave Dharma of our ancestors. Let them taste our swords”.

Mob had entered the Gurudwara. The first lot of 50-60 attackers was slaughtered in no time. People inside Gurudwara were prepared and in better position for small mob. There was hardly any casualty on this side. Hall of women & children was locked from inside.

The mob of hundreds chanting religious slogans stood at 50 meters distance from the Gurudwara for 30 minutes. They were waiting for something. Soon the reinforcement came. This time, they were in thousands. Hindu-Sikhs inside Gurudwara were hardly 400. Men were 50-60. Rest were old, women and children.

This had to be the final battle. The mob had displayed a Sikh woman they abducted from her home being dragged in front of everyone. Her clothes had been torn. She was being paraded naked while the men were cheering assaulting her sensitive organs. She fell unconscious. But many vultures from mob kept playing with her body. Finally, someone cut off her breasts and threw them towards Gurudwara.

Hindu-Sikhs of Gujranwala had heard about this barbarism in news. They were seeing it for first time. Suddenly, everyone started thinking about their women. What if our women fall in their hands after we die? This was the moment when even death was looking easy. Something else was scarier.

Mob had started breaking the gates.

Lajjo : Tusi katto bapuji, Main Musalmaanani nahi banugi (go ahead father, I won’t go to a Muslim)

Balwant : (crying, not able to speak)

Lajjo : Karo bapuji, te bhajjo jaldi etho (do it father, and run)

Balwant : (crying more, it was gut-wrenching) I can’t, my daughter. How can I?

Lajjo : If you don’t, they will cut my breas…(thak, the sword struck Lajjo’s neck)

Lajjo’s head rolled down the well. Balwant’s strike of sword was accurate. Her headless body was pushed down the well too. Now the mob could not touch her clothes. Nobody could cut her…. She was liberated.

It was Rajjo’s turn next.

Then Bhaggo’s.

Then Paro’s.

Then Gayo’s.

Then Isho’s.

and finally, Urmi’s.

The father would kiss forehead of each and take the head next.

Balwant liberated his seven daughters on 18th Sep 1947. The mobs chanting religious slogans were so close to the 7 sisters. But their father could manage to save them. What if the cost he paid was their lives? At least their breasts were intact. Their honour was intact. Their freedom was intact.

Even the remaining bodies were fed to the well because even the dead bodies of girls were not safe.

Gates of the Gurudwara had been broken. Swords of Hindu-Sikhs were chopping rioters left, right, and centre. Heavily outnumbered, the Hindu-Sikhs killed many times more. A great resistance was put up. The natives of Gujranwala showed for the last time that this land still belonged to Sardar Hari Singh Nalwa and Ram.        

Balwant : Prabhavati, Lala Jagjeevan’s Tangas are waiting at the back gate of Gurudwara. He has just messaged me to escort as many women and children as we could. Take all women and children there. Baldev! You will go with mother.

Baldev : (silently nodded his head)

Prabhavati : But you? I wont go without you (was crying)

Balwant : You have to live. For the unborn. Baldev and you must reach India. I will come too.

Prabhavati : Why won’t you come with us?  

Balwant : You are going with Baldev and the unborn. I will come in next lot. Lalaji and few men are taking you to station.

Balwant kissed her forehead, hugged Baldev and gently caressed the unborn. “Hurry up”.

Tanga of Prabhavati and Baldev had left for station.

Balwant had lost sanity. He was perhaps the only father to have killed seven of own children in order to protect them from something more gruesome. With trembling legs, he went to the well and shouted – “Two kids have their mother with them. 7 kids here must have their father. Jai Shri Krishna..”

Balwant had stabbed himself and jumped into the well. This man gave 7 Padminis to the society.

Nanaji’s tears couldn’t stop. Neither could mine.

I : How do you know all this?

Grandfather : Baldev was my friend in college.

I : Where is he now? I want to meet him.

Grandfather : He died.

I cried a lot that night. But suddenly, I recalled my senior’s words – “ask your grandfather, could money save his family?”.

I went straight to Nanaji’s personal room where his documents and belongings were kept. I slowly and quietly unlocked the locker.

There was a photograph of his teenage. With his parents sitting in middle while he stood at their backside. And there were seven smiling sisters. Like the seven rays of sun…

—————-

PS : We lost 28 family members in creation of Pakistan. My great grandfather, his brothers, sisters and their families were killed. All hailed from Gujranwala, Pakistan. All in the name of La ilah illillah – there is no god but Allah.

Protesters of Shaheen Bag, Delhi are no victims. I am the victim. There are millions more trapped in fanatic lands of Af-Pak-Ban who have been subject to worst religious persecution are the victims and need to be rescued.

We have moved on. But Pak-lovers in India haven’t. And now I believe unilateral moving on from history is dangerous. It can make culprits victims and vice versa. So no moving on from now on until all don’t move on.

Please keep my story in mind when you read my next article on why CAA-NRC is must for India and its survival.

Wrote this on insistence of my close friend, a scientist in US. This is his story. Have used some creative freedom to make it presentable to common people. Reality was way too disturbing.

Faiz’s Hum Dekhenge- Liberals’ Anthem or Islamist’s War Cry?

On 17th Dec, 2019, I complained against a gathering at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur in India. I also mentioned in my complaint how the following lines recited from a poem of Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s favourite offended my religious sentiments – 

“Hum dekhenge..Jab arz e khuda ke kaabe se sab but uthvaaye jaayenge.. Bus naam rahega Allah ka..”  

It literally translates into following
“We will see..When from the house of Allah, all idols will be removed…Only Allah’s name will remain..”

I knew the poem. So I objected instantly. Few others joined me too. Based on our complaint, the institute set up an enquiry committee and requested all members of institute family not to post anything on this matter so that ‘harmony is restored’.

However, since then, many – from some kids at the institute to Irfan Habib to Barkha Dutt to Swara Bhaskar (had to google about last three – a failed historian, a failed journalist, and a failed actor) to liberals is teaching us the context of these revolutionary lines. Coincidentally, these Faiz lovers seem to have same poison for India (specifically Hindus) that Tukde gang aka JNU’s Azadi fighters have or the suicide bomber of Pulwama Adil Dar had or Imran Khan has. (Pulwama attacker, Pulwama mastermind and Pakistan Government have shown exactly same literary preferences. Refer this article for details.)

Here I would share perspectives on Faiz and this poem that everyone – including those Indians who are heralding him as father of Indian revolutionary poetry – seem to be conveniently unaware of.

Am presenting it in form of claims and truths about the lines, its author, its context and everything. Claim is from Faiz’s newborn Indian kids, Reality is mine.

Claim : Anybody who has attended any such gathering—where people challenge authorities—knows this is the norm. People shout slogans. They sing songs. They celebrate great poetry. 

Reality : If call for idols’ destruction is ‘challenging authorities’ and norm for such gatherings, this gathering must be a terrorist gathering. This is exactly what terrorist invaders like Qasim, Ghazni, Khiljis, Ghori, Timur, Babur, Janahngir, Shahjahan, Aurangzeb, Tipu Sultan, Nadir Shah, Abdali, Jinnah, Ajmal Qasab, and Aadil Dar did. There is history of 1000+ years’ attacks on temples, idols and idolaters in India. (read more by Dr B R Ambedkar on history of Islamic invasions in India and their connection with assault on idols here.

Creation of Pakistan came with destruction of hundreds/thousands of temples/idols. Terrorist of Pulwama – Aadil Dar wanted to teach lesson to “idol-worshippers” and show “power of Allah” to the world. In this context of continued assault on idols, temples and idolatry in the name of Allah for 1000+ years in India, the Najms like – “when idols will be removed and only Allah’s name will remain” – are seeds of terror being sowed in innocent minds.  

Claim : This poem has been recited across multiple marches across multiple universities in India before. 

Reality : By this logic, a Chor (thief) having history of theft should not be caught/punished. A serial killer should not be caught. A serial rapist should not be punished. Coz he had done this with multiple people across cities in India before. 

There have been many terror attacks on our universities before with similar anti-idolatry pro-Allah slogans. Check the history and destruction of the ancient universities – Nalanda, Vikramasila,  Odantapuri, Somapura, Jagaddala, Vallabhi. All were burnt/destroyed during Islamic invasions. All had same story. You don’t have Allah’s name yet, you need to go. What should we do? Welcome next attack?

Claim : It is a popular poem written by Faiz against the authoritarian Pakistan Government

Reality : This statement has so many contradictions, errors, and irrelevancies. Start counting 

Popular poem : Popular is a subjective term. Popular among whom? Popular for good reason or bad? I asked my veteran uncle whether he knew this famous poem. I asked my cousin who has served in Rashtriya Rifles. I asked my grandfather who fought for India’s independence. I asked a farmer. None of them knew about this poem. I asked an Indian scientist in UK, do you know this poem? He replied – “Yes. Poem that calls for Islamic State!”

On the other hand, Kanhaiya Kumar, Umar Khalid, Shehla Rashid, Imran Khan, and ISI are very well aware and fond of “Hum Dekhenge”. 
So what do I do if you sang a popular Pakistani poem asking for removal of idols? Isn’t that what Pakistan was created for? Why would I tolerate this Islamist supremacist call in India?

Written by Faiz : If someone is talking about killing me or destroying my faith or establishing faith of Allah when I do not believe in Allah, how does it matter whether the threat is coming from an angel or a fairy? A man Kamlesh Tiwari was beheaded at instigation by mobs across India coz he was accused of ‘calling Prophet of a Mazhab as gay’. Nobody cared about the context. None asked him for the context. None inquired who Kamlesh Tiwari was. There was no rally/protest by the liberal mobs despite LGBTQ rights being on their prime agenda. No liberal came forward to inform anti-Tiwari murderous mobs across country that being gay is not a shame/crime.

Faiz might be your Prophet. He is not mine. His poem is full of rabid anti-idolatry terms and historical references. Now you must interpret his poem in my context. I don’t have time to waste on Pakistani poetry when I have to deal with Pakistani terror. It’s not my/any Indian’s responsibility to know Faiz. It is your responsibility to not sing his poem that threatens me and my faith in literal sense.

Against the authoritarian Pakistan government : There is the redundancy error in this statement. Pakistan is authoritarian by its very existence. Pakistan came into being by declaring (Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s words)- “Hindus and Muslims are two different races. They worship cows. We eat cows. We can’t live together.” The term “Pakistan” itself meant that whatever was left in India after Pak was Naapaak (land of impure). Jinnah declared Direct Action Day. Slaughter, rape and abduction of millions of Hindu-Sikhs and kicking out of around a crore people was celebrated.

Pakistan’s constitution says – “No non-Muslim can become President/PM of Pakistan”. You can’t hold a Pakistani passport until you declare that Ahmadis (a Muslim sect) are Non-Muslims/Murtad. (Murtad is someone who has renounced Islam, death penalty for apostasy in Sharia law). Know why Pakistan is not just an authoritarian state but also an Islamic state meant to slaughter, rape, conversion and destruction of Non-Muslims. Read.

The revolutionary Faiz Sahib opted Islamist Pakistan of Jinnah over secular India. Pakistan that promised to degrade Hindu-Sikh-Non-Muslims to second class citizens. No, It was not fear of death in ‘Hindu India’ that made Faiz opt for Pakistan. Sahir Ludhianvi, Ghulam Sarwar, Taj Muhammad and many migrated from Pakistan to India during and after partition. Faiz didn’t. Faiz literally thought of creation of Pak as liberation of Muslims! Faiz wrote on Jinnah-

“…the man who has been responsible for the birth of a major State and the liberation of a major nation from economic and political bondage, the Quaid-i-Azam has already passed into history…. The future of Indian Muslims who have done as much and suffered far more for Pakistan than we the Muslims of Pakistan have, is still uncertain…” [Faiz’ editorial on 27.12.47, republished by Pak Tea House]

Faiz Sahib not only praises Jinnah for ‘liberating Muslim nation’ in 1947 but also thanks “Muslims of India who created Pakistan but didn’t move there”! (BTW, CAA protesters and fans of Faiz in India want all to believe that Indian Muslims rejected Pakistan in 1947. But Faiz claims that Indian Muslims had done as much for Pakistan’s creation as Muslims of Pakistan! Who is lying?)

Is this a coincidence that all protests against CAA-NRC (something done to partially heal wounds of persecuted Non-Muslims & idolater Hindus of the fanatic Islamic state(s) that I find extremely necessary) use a Pakistani’s poem with derogatory and violent references towards idolatry and a call for an exclusive Islamic/Allah’s state? All CAA-NRC protest mobs are rubbing salt to wounds of crores of idolater victims of partition and current Islamic states when their settlement in India is opposed using poems filled with the very attacks on idolatry written by a Pakistani who chose Islamist Pakistan over secular India. 

Q. But Faiz was a revolutionary. He always stood against Pakistan’s authoritarian regimes. 

A. Utter lies. First of all he should have opposed Pakistan – the original sin as explained above. To an idolater like me whose family was slaughtered in 1947 with same slogans against idolatry and for Allah’s rule, Pakistan remains an enemy in totality. An internal fight between an Islamic State’s civilians and military who both are united against my idolater faith and existence has no significance for me. Hence, even if Faiz challenged military of Pakistan (which is again a lie), he remains part of the problem. He chose Pakistan over India. That’s enough for me.

Faiz standing against authoritarian regimes is biggest lie anyway. He chose authoritarian state – Pakistan to live. He led Pakistan Times in 1947 itself. Immediately after 1971 genocide of 3 Million Bengalis by Pakistan (primarily a Hindu genocide), Faiz took oath as Cultural Advisor to Ministries of Culture and Education under same Bhutto, who after getting 30,00,000 Bengalis (mostly Hindus) slaughtered and getting 4,00,000 women raped under his watch, said to Bengalis – “children of pigs, go to hell”. Faiz worked under same constitution that declared no Hindu/Non-Muslim can become President/PM. I am not aware of any effective movement started by revolutionary Faiz or popularised by his fans to oppose this constitutional genocide and persecution of Non-Muslims by Bhutto. I don’t know why some jokers in India lie so much. 

Claim : It is not a poem promoted by Islamists. 

Reality : Indeed, it is. This poem was instrumental in kickstarting Imran Khan’s (who opposition called Taliban Khan for his blatant justifications of suicide attacks by Taliban) real politics in 2013. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5bjGJtqx20
This was sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, grandson of an Islamist Fateh Ali Khan (who sang famous Jinnah’s Muslim League song – “Muslim hai to Muslim League me aa – If you are a Muslim, join Muslim league” when Muslim league of Jinnah was hiring Gundas to butcher idolater Hindus and create Pakistan)

Imran Khan’s politics in general and this poem at Islamabad Jalsa of 2013 in particular were funded and supported by Pakistan’s authoritarian & Islamist ISI. Check Chaudhary Pervez Ilahi/prominent Pak analysts’ reports on how serving ISI chief – Gen Shuja Pasha funded Imran Khan’s PTI and arm-twisted political parties/leaders to surrender to Khan.

If recitation of this poem against Zia ul Haq by a lady in Sari was proof of its greatness, its recitation by an Islamist puppet of Zia ul Haq’s authoritarian Army – Imran Khan is proof of its Islamist context. Lady’s event had 50,000 people. Islamist Imran Khan’s rally had lakhs. Poem remains source of bigotry. 

And when lyrics clearly call for destruction of idols and establishing Allah’s name alone, finding revolution in it sitting in India is not just foolish but treacherous. 

Claim : It is a classic poem of dissent against authoritarian governments.

 Reality : 1. Faiz was a puppet of most authoritarian man in Pakistan ever – Zulfikar Ali Bhutto as shown above. 

2. In 1942, when India’s fight for freedom from British was at peak, Faiz joined British Army to weaken India! Revolution! Interestingly, those who mock Savarkar the most for compromising with British sing this traitor’s poetry thinking him as some revolutionary. A traitor to motherland is hero of traitors here! 

3. Faiz is being hailed as an anti-military establishment revolutionary. This is biggest lie. After getting defeated in Kashmir war of 1948, Pakistan Military hatched a plan to oust the then Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan. Revolutionary Faiz was part of the meeting held at Maj Gen Akbar Khan’s residence. This proposed coup was thwarted by Liaqat and revolutionary Faiz was sentenced for 4 years in imprisonment!

Anyone who says Faiz was against military dictatorship is a liar.

Claim : Faiz’ poem is used in a particular context and should be interpreted accordingly. 

Reality : 1. Exactly. Faiz’ poem is used by Islamists to establish that they are more Islamists than their adversaries in the market. Had he been an anti-Islamist revolutionary as falsely claimed, he must have attacked symbols of Islamism and glorified idolatry (considered to be worst sin as per Islamists and Zia Ul Haq). But he abused idols as falsehood. He glorified Islamic God as exclusive truth. It is like going to Iraq, abusing Yezidis with words – “Hey, when your women will be raped, only Islamic State will rule here” and then claiming that I stood against ISIS! Only a fool can do that.   

2. Is it first law of Thermodynamics that only Faiz’ words will have context and others won’t? Our thrashing of Faiz must also be seen in the context of our fear of persecution being an idolater.

3. Context is an interesting thing! Everyone is talking about where it is being used. I replied earlier – this was used by Islamist Imran Khan to cement his politics with help of ISI-Army establishment. These days, this poem is being used to incite violence against police and state in India. If greatness of poem lies in the fact that it was once used against a military dictator in Pak, I have proved it worst just now. Any drunkard can sing it in a party. It’s not Faiz’ credit/discredit. 

Leave this bogus argument aside. Let’s now see what the context of the actual lines Faiz wrote in the poem was. I could have given context myself as I am versed with Islamic history and scriptures. But sharing here in Sharjeel Imam’s words (same Sharjeel Iman who spearheaded seditious anti-CAA campaign and was jailed for his plans to cut-off North-East from rest of India). He writes in twocircles- 

“In this.. Faiz uses the image of a victorious Prophet Mohammad emptying Kaaba of hundreds of idols after the conquest of Makkah.. The term mardood e haram, i.e. barred out of sacred places, refers to Mohammad and his companion who were forced to leave Makkah 8 years earlier, because of the Islamic rejection of idolatry. The mardood e haram finally defeat the Meccan idolators, come back to the Haram [kaaba], and purify it from idols.”

Context is clear. It’s all about hate for idolatry. So much hate that all falsehood and negativities were being termed as “Boot/idol” by Islamic scholars. It is like someone hating Allah/Rasul so much that whenever he sees a liar somewhere, he says – “You are Allah”. This is ingrained hate for idolaters that liberals/leftists import from Urdu poetry without applying brains. This hate can’t be seen as hate until it is reversed in the direction (check the litmus test at the end). Not anymore. Enough is enough.  

Claim : Faiz was a proclaimed atheist.

Reality : How does it matter whether the dagger slitting my throat was made in India or China? Moreover, if an atheist wants all idols removed and Allah’s name alone, who needs Islamists?

Do some homework. Faiz was not an atheist. 

He married a British lady – Alys. The ‘atheist’ Faiz made Alys convert to Islam. She became Kulsoom. They had a ‘Nikah’ – an Islamic marriage in which BOTH bride and groom MUST BE MUSLIMS. Her elder sister was also trapped by an Islamist M D Taseer who converted Christobel to Bilqees and did Nikah. [Source : Dawn]

This is the special legacy of Pakistan. Doesn’t matter if they are liberals or extremists. They always eye at women of other faiths. Their conversion and Nikah is common. Every year, thousands of Hindu-Sikh girls are converted to Islam and married off to Muslim men. However, NOT A SINGLE CASE of a Muslim woman marrying a Hindu-Sikh man has occurred in Pakistan TILL DATE. 

“In Rudaad e Qafas, Major Ishaq, who was a companion of Faiz, mentions that when they were jailed together, Faiz famously taught Quran and Hadees to the prisoners in the Hyderabad jail. Faiz himself mentions that a colonel explicitly asked him, why he was teaching Quran when he was an atheist. When Faiz clarifies that he is a Muslim, the colonel starts appreciating his Quranic lessons.” [Source : Sharjeel Imam, twocircles]

The ‘atheist’ Faiz had 2 Muslim children. His children had Muslim children. I don’t know why an ‘atheist’ would convert his wife to Islam, give his kids Muslim names and faith! This is how students in India are being fooled in name of Faiz. A small fraction of students in India is the latest victim of propaganda of fake revolution.

Claim : The poem talks about shattering all religious symbols like idols and rituals, and “to believe in only truth, which is a god. Here Allah means only god. Not a muslim god, but accidentally god of a muslim poet.”

Reality : Interesting! Few points

1. When the oppression Faiz was witnessing was from Islamists, how wise was it to shatter “all religious symbols”? Why not restrict to Islamic symbols only?

2. But, wait! “All religious symbols”? Faiz said – “when idols will be removed from the house of Allah – Kaba”. He made a distinction. He wanted idols (like pre-Islamic idolaters – Pagans of Mecca whose 360 idols were destroyed by Prophet, who were killed/converted to Islam in conquest of Mecca, but Kaba was not destroyed) to be removed but not the Islamic stone of Kaba. Why? Was Kaba not a religious symbol? Or was Kaba too dangerous to handle? If everything apart from Allah (the ultimate truth) is falsehood/symbols, what are Prophets/holy books/Kaba? Why were not they destroyed in Faiz’ poetry? 

Hypocrite Pakistani Islamist and his fool Indian fans!

3. If oppression was Islamic, Islamic symbols like Kaba/Allah/Rasul must have been questioned in poem not idols. This is called revolution. But the hypocrite religious bigot kept shattering the already shattered idols of poor idolaters who were reduced from 22% to 5% from 1947 to his times. Truth is – his fight with Islamist Zia was only to establish himself as bigger shatterer of idols. Students of IIT Kanpur on 17th Dec became victims of this fight of two Islamists.

4. Which dictionary does in the world translate Allah as truth and idols as falsehood?  

For you, idols are falsehood. For me and billions, idols can be God. For billions, Allah does not exist. For me, Ram is supreme. Can you call symbols of Islam – Allah, Prophet, Kaba, Quran etc as symbols of falsehood and Ram as the only truth?

5. “God of a Muslim poet”? But 2 minutes ago, you claimed that Faiz was an atheist poet? Is Muslim = Atheist?

Message to innocent students who are being fooled/forced to attend anti-idolatry events across India in name of dissent/free-speech/anti-CAA protests

You don’t know Faiz, his Islamist Pakistani root and rabid anti-idolatry pro-Islamist poetry. I understand. Most of you learn Science/literature/other languages not Urdu/Arabic at most universities. Dear innocent students, dissociate yourselves from such communal gatherings that toe Pakistan’s Islamist agenda.

Know that when you oppose CAA, you oppose relief to those persecuted Hindu-Sikh-Buddhists of Pakistan whose daughters (in thousands) are kidnapped, raped, converted to Islam forcibly and married off to men double their age every year. And when you sing Pakistani poetry of destruction of idols to oppose their settlement in India, you indeed cross all limits of insensitivity.

Finally, a litmus test for EVERY PARTICIPANT of anti-CAA marches and fans of Faiz’ Hum Dekhenge.

If you think you and your fellow participants have no religious/hate agenda when you recite/cheer for “when idols will be removed, only Allah’s name will remain”, then

in following lines:

“When all idols will be removed”

“Only Allah’s name will remain”

replace “idols” with “Kaba”/”Rasul” and “Allah” with “Ram” and sing it. Post your videos on social media and start singing the amended version in next anti-CAA protests.

Ask ALL of the participants to do the same. Test your honesty and those who you are defending as ‘peaceful students’. Count how many fans of anti-CAA protests/Hum Dekhenge are indeed secular and not religious fanatics. Your time starts now.

Hindu-Muslim Unity? Myth vs Reality – Dr B. R. Ambedkar

Govt of India has passed the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) according to which, the persecuted minorities of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh viz. Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians can claim citizenship of India. Many Muslims and ‘liberals’ have given Fatwa over the bill declaring it ‘anti-Muslim’. Trains are being burnt in West Bengal, police are being attacked in Jamia, stations are being ransacked, running trains with passengers inside are being attacked with stones and weapons, nationwide protests are being called. Many intellectuals are urging masses to hit streets as govt, judiciary, and majority Hindus have ‘failed’ Muslims.

This violence is not new to India. Since the advent of Muhammad Bin Qasim, throughout Muslim invasions, partition of India, pre and post partition riots, Bangladeshi genocide of Hindus, burning of innocents in Godhra etc, this has been a normal in India. What is new is the newfound love among Islamists, left scholars and liberals for Dr B. R. Ambedkar. Latter has extensively been invoked at various forums by leftists and Islamists as ‘secular’ response to ‘divisive Hindutva’ of BJP on CAB. In short, Hindus of India are being reminded below things repeatedly

  • India was not a country. It was built by Mughals/Muslims
  • India was never a Hindu country. Sabhi ka khoon shaamil hai yahaan ki mitti me (everybody’s (Hindu-Muslim alike) blood was spilled in its soil for freedom)
  • Muslims came to India, spread science, technology, art, culture and enriched India
  • All stories of religious persecution of Hindus at hands of Muslims/Sultans are falsehood promoted by RSS to demonise Muslims
  • None of the wars waged by Muslim armies on India had a religious agenda
  • Massacre of men, rape of women, destruction of temples are exaggerated. It was never religious. This was norm at that time
  • Muslim rulers also killed Muslims and other Muslim rulers. Proves they were not religious fanatic
  • Conversion of Hindus to Islam was never done by sword/force in Indian subcontinent. This is a lie propagated by Hindutva WhatsApp universities
  • No Hindu temple was destroyed. No mosque was raised over any temple. This is lie by Hindutva mobs to justify Babri demolition
  • Our forefathers rejected the idea of Pakistan/Jinnah. Hence India must remain secular

What did Dr Ambedkar think of above, Muslims, Pakistan, religious persecution, Muslim invasions, secularism, and Hindu-Muslim unity? Was he really the champion of the brand of secularism Islamists, leftists and liberals are preaching in his name?

Truth may shock you.

Quotes in the article are taken from Babasaheb Ambedkar’s book – Pakistan or the Partition of India (published 1940) available at official website of Ministry of external Affairs, Govt of India. Titles are mine. Know the history you were never taught. Draw your inferences. Let’s begin.

Hindu-Muslim Unity

Dr Ambedkar: “Before the Hindus complain of the destruction of the unity of India, let them make certain that the unity they are harping upon does exist. What unity is there between Pakistan and Hindustan?”

Myth: India didn’t exist before Muslims/British. Hindu India never existed.

Reality : Vedic-Buddhist India existed before Muslim invasion, Afghanistan was part of India

Dr Ambedkar:

“Those Hindus, who maintain the affirmative, rely chiefly upon the fact that the areas which the Muslims want to be separated from India have always been a part of India. Historically this is, no doubt, true. This area was a part of India when Chandragupta was the ruler; it continued to be a part of India when Hsuan Tsang, the Chinese pilgrim, visited India in the 7th century A. D. In his diary, Hsuan Tsang has recorded that India was divided into five divisions or to use his language, there were ‘five Indies’ : (1) Northern India, (2) Western India, (3) Central India, (4) Eastern India and (5) Southern India and that these five divisions contained 80 kingdoms.

According to Hsuan Tsang, Northern India comprised the Punjab proper, including Kashmir and the adjoining hill States with the whole of Eastern Afghanistan beyond the Indus, and the present Cis-Satlaj States to the west of the Sarasvati river. Thus, in Northern India there were included the districts of Kabul, Jallalabad (both in today’s Afghanistan), Peshawar, Ghazni (Af) and Bannu, which were all subject to the ruler of Kapisa, who was a Hindu Kshatriya and whose capital was most probably at Charikar, 27 miles from Kabul. In the Punjab proper, the hilly districts Taxila, Singhapura, Urasa, Punch and Rajaori, were subject to the Raja of Kashmir; while the whole of the plains, including Multan and Shorkot, were dependent on the ruler of Taki or Sangala, near Lahore. Such was the extent of the northern boundary of India at the time when Hsuan Tsang came on his pilgrimage.”

“It is true that when Hsuan Tsang came, not only the Punjab but what is now Afghanistan was part of India and further, the people of the Punjab and Afghanistan were either Vedic or Buddhist by religion. But what has happened since Hsuan Tsang left India?”

Myth : Muslims came to India to spread science, technology, art, culture and richness

Reality : Muslims invaded India with large armies repeatedly to massacre Hindus. No year passed without bloodshed of Hindus.

Dr Ambedkar:

“The most important thing that has happened is the invasion of India by the Muslim hordes from the north-west. The first Muslim invasion of India was by the Arabs who were led by Mahommad Bin Qasim. It took place in 711 A. D. and resulted in the conquest of Sind. This first Muslim invasion did not result in a permanent occupation of the country because the Caliphate of Baghdad, by whose order and command the invasion had taken place, was obliged by the middle of the 9th century A. D. to withdraw its direct control from this distant province of Sind.

Soon after this withdrawal, there began a series of terrible invasions by Muhammad of Ghazni in 1001 A. D. Muhammad died in 1030 A. D., but within the short span of 30 years, he invaded India 17 times. He was followed by Mahommad Ghori who began his career as an invader in 1173. He was killed in 1206. For thirty years had Muhammad of Ghazni ravaged India and for thirty years Mahommad Ghori harried the same country in the same way. Then followed the incursions of the Moghul hordes of Chenghiz Khan. They first came in 1221. They then only wintered on the border of India but did not enter it. Twenty years after, they marched on Lahore and sacked it.

Of their inroads, the most terrible was under Taimur in 1398. Then comes on the scene a new invader in the person of Babar who invaded India in 1526. The invasions of India did not stop with that of Babar. There occurred two more invasions. In 1738 Nadirshah’s invading host swept over the Punjab like a flooded river ” furious as the ocean “. He was followed by Ahmadshah Abdalli who invaded India in 1761, smashed the forces of the Mahrattas at Panipat and crushed for ever the attempt of the Hindus to gain the ground which they had lost to their Muslim invaders.”

Myth: Muslim invasion had no religious agenda

Reality: It was all religious, to demolish every temple, to kill/convert every idolater-polytheist Hindu

Dr Ambedkar:

“These Muslim invasions were not undertaken merely out of lust for loot or conquest. There was another object behind them. The expedition against Sind by Mahommad bin Qasim was of a punitive character and was undertaken to punish Raja Dahir of Sind who had refused to make restitution for the seizure of an Arab ship at Debul, one of the sea-port towns of Sind. But, there is no doubt that striking a blow at the idolatry and polytheism of Hindus and establishing Islam in India was also one of the aims of this expedition. In one of his dispatches to Hajjaj, Mahommad bin Qasim is quoted to have said :

“The nephew of Raja Dahir, his warriors and principal officers have been dispatched, and the infidels converted to Islam or destroyed. Instead of idol-temples, mosques and other places of worship have been created, the Kulbah it read, the call to prayers is raised, so that devotions are performed at staled hours. The Takbir and praise to the Almighty God are offered every morning and evening.

After receiving the above dispatch, which had been forwarded with the head of the Raja, Hajjaj sent the following reply to his general:

“Except that you give protection to all, great and small alike, make no difference between enemy and friend. God, says, ‘ Give no quarter to infidels but cut their throats ‘. Then know that this is the command of the great God. You shall not be too ready to grant protection, because it will prolong your work. After this give no quarter to any enemy except those who are of rank.”

Muhammad of Ghazni also looked upon his numerous invasions of India as the waging of a holy war. Al’ Utbi, the historian of Muhammad, describing his raids writes :

“He demolished idol temples and established Islam. He captured …… cities, killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolaters, and gratifying Muslims. ‘ He then returned home and promulgated accounts of the victories obtained for Islam. ……. and vowed that every year he would undertake a holy war against Hind.” Mahommed Ghori was actuated by the same holy zeal in his invasions of India. Hasan Nizami, the historian, describes his work in the following terms :

He purged by his sword the land of Hind from the filth of infidelity and vice, and freed the whole of that country from the thorn of God-plurality and the impurity of idol-worship, and by his royal vigour and intrepidity left not one temple standing.”

Taimur has in his Memoir explained what led him to invade India. He says:

My object in the invasions of Hindustan is to lead a campaign against the infidels, to convert them to the true faith according to the command of Muhammad (on whom and his family be the blessing and peace of God), to purify the land from the defilement of misbelief and polytheism, and overthrow the temples and idols, whereby we shall be Ghazis and Mujahids, companions and soldiers of the faith before God.“”

Myth : Muslims/Muslim rulers also killed Muslims and other Muslim rulers. Proves they were not religious fanatics

Reality : They fought among themselves for power. But they were united in religious ’cause’ of wiping Hindu faith off the world

Dr Ambedkar

“These invasions of India by Muslims were as much invasions of India as they were wars among the Muslims themselves. This fact has remained hidden because the invaders are all lumped together as Muslims without distinction. But as a matter of fact, they were Tartars, Afghans and Mongols. Muhammad of Ghazni was a Tartar, Mahommed of Ghori was an Afghan, Taimur was a Mongol, Babar was a Tartar, while Nadirshah and Ahmadshah Abdalli were Afghans. In invading India, the Afghan was out to destroy the Tartar and the Mongol was out to destroy the Tartar as well as the Afghan. They were not a loving family cemented by the feeling of Islamic brotherhood. They were deadly rivals of one another and their wars were often wars of mutual extermination. What is, however, important to bear in mind is that with all their internecine conflicts they were all united by one common objective and that was to destroy the Hindu faith.

Myth: Conversion of Hindus to Islam in Indian subcontinent was never done by sword/force. This is a lie propagated by Hindutva WhatsApp university.

Reality: Forced circumcision, slaughter, rape and slavery were unleashed on Hindus to Islamise India

Dr Ambedkar:

“The methods adopted by the Muslim invaders of India are not less significant for the subsequent history of India than the object of their invasions.

Mahommad bin Qasim’s first act of religious zeal was forcibly to circumcise the Brahmins of the captured city of Debul ; but on discovering that they objected to this sort of conversion, he proceeded to put all above the age of 17 to death, and to order all others, with women and children, to be led into slavery. The temple of the Hindus was looted, and the rich booty was divided equally among the soldiers, after one-fifth, the legal portion for the government, had been set aside.

Muhammad of Ghazni from the first adopted those plans that would strike terror into the hearts of the Hindus. After the defeat of Raja Jaipal in A.D. 1001, Muhammad ordered that Jaipal ” be paraded about in the streets so that his sons and chieftains might see him in that condition of shame, bonds and disgrace; and that fear of Islam might fly abroad through the country of the infidels. ”

The slaughtering of ‘ infidels’ seemed to be one thing that gave Muhammad particular pleasure. In one attack on Chand Rai, in A. D. 1019, many infidels were slain or taken prisoners, and the Muslims paid no regard to booty until they had satiated themselves with the slaughter of the infidels and worshippers of the sun and fire. The historian naively adds that the elephants of the Hindu armies came to Muhammad of their own accord, leaving idols, preferring the service of the religion of Islam.

Not infrequently, the slaughter of the Hindus gave a great setback to the indigenous culture of the Hindus, as in the conquest of Bihar by Muhammad Bakhtyar Khilji. When he took Nuddea (Bihar) the Tabaquat-i-Nasiri informs us that:

“great plunder fell into the hands of the victors. Most of the inhabitants were Brahmins with shaven heads. They were put to death. Large number of books were found……… but none could explain their contents as all the men had been killed, the whole fort and city being a place of study.”

Cow’s flesh around idol’s neck

“Of the destruction of temples and the desecration of idols we have an abundance of evidence. Mahommad bin Qasim carried out his plan of destruction systematically in Sind, we have seen, but he made an exception of the famous temple at Multan for purposes of revenue, as this temple was a place of resort for pilgrims, who made large gifts to the idol. Nevertheless, while he thus satisfied his avarice by letting the temple stand, he gave vent to his malignity by having a piece of cow’s flesh tied around the neck of the idol.

Destroyer of 1000 temples

“Minhaj-as-Siraj further tells how Mahommad became widely known for having destroyed as many as a thousand temples, and of his great feat in destroying the temple of Somnath and carrying off its idol, which he asserts was broken into four parts. One part he deposited in the Jami Masjid of Ghazni, one he placed at the entrance of the royal palace, the third he sent to Mecca, and the fourth to Medina.”

50,000 Hindus slaughtered on final plunder day of Somnath

“It is said by Lane Poole that Muhammad of Ghazni ” who had vowed that every year should see him wage a holy war against the infidels of Hindustancould not rest from his idol-breaking campaign so long as the temple of Somnath remained inviolate. It was for this specific purpose that he, at the very close of his career, undertook his arduous march across the desert from Multan to Anhalwara on the coast, fighting as he went, until he saw at last the famous temple:

“There a hundred thousand pilgrims were wont to assemble, a thousand Brahmins served the temple and guarded its treasures, and hundreds of dancers and singers played before its gates. Within stood the famous linga, a rude pillar stone adorned with gems and lighted by jewelled candelebra which were reflected in rich hangings, embroidered with precious stones like stars, that decked the shrine….. Its ramparts were swarmed with incredulous Brahmins, mocking the vain arrogance of foreign infidels whom the God of Somnath would assuredly consume. The foreigners, nothing daunted, scaled the walls; the God remained dumb to the urgent appeals of his servants; fifty thousand Hindus suffered for their faith and the sacred shrine was sacked to the joy of the true believers. The great stone was cast down and its fragments were carried off to grace the conqueror’s palace. The temple gates were setup at Ghazni and a million pounds worth of treasure rewarded the iconoclast

The work done by Muhammad of Ghazni became a pious tradition and was faithfully followed by those who came after him. In the words of Dr. Titus.”

Myth: No Hindu temple was destroyed by Muslims. No mosque was raised over any temple. This is lie spread by Hindutva mobs to justify Babri demolition

Reality: Muhammad Ghori destroyed every single temple and idol in Delhi and raised mosques over them

Dr Ambedkar:

Mahommad Ghori, one of the enthusiastic successors of Muhammad of Ghazni, in his conquest of Ajmir destroyed pillars and foundations of the idol-temples, and built in their stead mosques and colleges, and the precepts of Islam and the customs of the law were divulged and established. At Delhi, the city and its vicinity were freed from idols and idol worship, and in the sanctuaries of the images of the Gods mosques were raised by the worshippers of the one God.

Another destroyer of 1000 temples, 1000 mosques built over them – Delhi’s Jama Masjid was built over ruins of temples demolished by elephants

Qutb-ud-Din Aybak also is said to have destroyed nearly a thousand temples, and then raised mosques on their foundations. The same author states that he built the Jami Masjid, Delhi, and adorned it with the stones and gold obtained from the temples which had been demolished by elephants, and covered it with inscriptions (from the Quran) containing the divine commands. We have further evidence of this harrowing process having been systematically employed from the inscription extant over the eastern gateway of this same mosque at Delhi, which relates that the materials of 27 idol temples were used in its construction.

Ala-ud-Din, in his zeal to build a second Minar to the Jami Masjid, to rival the one built by Qulb-ud-Din, is said by Amir Khusru not only to have dug stones out of the hills, but to have demolished temples of the infidels to furnish a supply. In his conquests of South India the destruction of temples was carried out by Ala-ud-Din as it had been in the north by his predecessors.

” The Sultan Firoz Shah, in his Futuhat, graphically relates how he treated Hindus who had dared to build new temples. ‘ When they did this in the city (Delhi) and the environs, in opposition to the law of the Prophet, which declares that such are not to be tolerated, under Divine guidance I destroyed these edifices. I killed these leaders of infidelity and punished others with stripes, until this abuse was entirely abolished and where infidels and idolaters worshipped idols, Musalmans now by God’s mercy perform their devotions to the true God.

Even in the reign of Shah Jahan, we read of the destruction of the temples that the Hindus had started to rebuild, and the account of this direct attack on the piety of the Hindus is thus solemnly recorded in the Badshah-namah :

Order to demolish every single temple in Benares and elsewhere – Kashi Vishwanath

“It had been brought to the notice of His Majesty, says the historian, that during the late reign (of Akbar) many idol-temples had been begun but remained unfinished at Benares, the great stronghold of infidelity. The infidels were now desirous of completing them. His Majesty, the defender of the faith, gave orders that at Benares and throughout all his dominions in every place all temples that had been begun should be cast down. It was reported from the Province of Allahabad that 76 temples had been destroyed in the district of Benares.

It was left to Aurangzeb to make a final attempt to overthrow idolatry. The author of ‘ Ma ‘ athir-i-Alamgiri dilates upon his efforts to put down Hindu teaching, and his destruction of temples in the following terms :

” In April, A. D. 1669, Aurangzib learned that in the provinces of Thatta, Multan and Benares, but especially in the latter, foolish Brahmins were in the habit of expounding frivolous books in their schools, and that learners, Muslims as well as Hindus, went there from long distances…. The ‘ Director of the Faith ‘ consequently issued orders to all the governors of provinces to destroy with a willing hand the schools and temples of the infidels; and they were enjoined to put an entire stop to the teaching and practising of idolatrous worship.. …Later it was reported to his religious Majesty that the Government officers had destroyed the temple of Bishnath at Benares. ” 14[f.14]

” Such invaders as Muhammad and Timur seem to have been more concerned with iconoclasm, the collection of booty, the enslaving of captives, and the sending of infidels to hell with the’ proselytizing sword ‘ than they were with the conversion of them even by force. But when rulers were permanently established the winning of converts became a matter of supreme urgency. It was a part of the stale policy to establish Islam as the religion of the whole land.

Qutb-ud-Din, whose reputation for destroying temples was almost as great as that of Muhammad, in the latter part of the twelfth century and early years of the thirteenth, must have frequently resorted to force as an incentive to conversion. One instance may be noted: when he approached Koil (Aligarh) in A. D. 1194, ‘ those of the garrison who were wise and acute were converted to Islam, but the others were slain with the sword ‘.

Myth: Islam was spread with love in Indian subcontinent.

Reality:

Dr Ambedkar:

” Further examples of extreme measures employed to effect a change of faith are all too numerous. One pathetic case is mentioned in the lime of the reign of Firoz Shah (A. D. 1351—1388). An old Brahmin of Delhi had been accused of worshipping idols in his house, and of even leading Muslim women to become infidels. He was sent for and his case placed before the judges, doctors, elders and lawyers. Their reply was that the provisions of the law were clear. The Brahmin must either become a Muslim or be burned. The true faith was declared to him and the right course pointed out, but he refused to accept it. Consequently he was burned by the order of the Sultan, and the commentator adds, ‘ Behold the Sultan’s strict adherence to law and rectitude, how he would not deviate in the least from its decrees’.”

Myth: Had Muslims converted Hindus by force, there would have been no Hindu alive today. Islam freed Hindus from clutches of Brahmanvaad.

Reality: Mahmood of Ghazni alone enslaved 5,00,000 Hindu men, women and children and sold them in markets of Ghazni

Dr Ambedkar:

Muhammad not only destroyed temples but made it a policy to make slaves of the Hindus he conquered. In the words of Dr. Titus:

“Not only was slaughter of the infidels and the destruction of their temples resorted to in earlier period of Islam’s contact with India, but as we have seen, many of the vanquished were led into slavery. The dividing up of booty was one of the special attractions, to the leaders as well as to the common soldiers in these expeditions. Muhammad seems to have made the slaughter of infidels, the destruction of their temples, the capturing of slaves, and the plundering of the wealth of the people, particularly of the temples and the priests, the main object of his raids. On the occasion of his first raid he is said to have taken much booty ; and half a million Hindus, ‘ beautiful men and women ‘, were reduced to slavery and taken back to Ghazni.

“When Muhammad later took Kanauj, in A. D. 1017, he took so much booty and so many prisoners that * the fingers of those who counted them would have tired ‘. Describing how common Indian slaves had become in Ghazni and Central Asia after the campaign of A. D. 1019, the historian of the times says

The number of prisoners may be conceived from the fact that each was sold for from two to ten dirhams. These were afterwards taken to Ghazni, and merchants came from far distant cities to purchase them ;. . ….and the fair and the dark, the rich and the poor were commingled in one common slavery.

” In the year A.D. 1202, when Qulb-ud-Din captured Kalinjar, after the temples had been convened into mosques, and the very name of idolatry was annihilated, fifty thousand men came under the collar of slavery and the plain became black as pitch with Hindus.

Slavery was the fate of those Hindus who were captured in the holy war. But, when there was no war the systematic abasement of the Hindus played no unimportant part in the methods adopted by the Muslim invaders. In the days of Ala-ud-Din, at the beginning of the fourteenth century, the Hindus had in certain parts given the Sultan much trouble. So, he determined to impose such taxes on them that they would be prevented from rising in rebellion.”

The Hindu was to be left unable to keep a horse to ride on, to carry arms, to wear fine clothes, or to enjoy any of the luxuries of life.

The payment of the Jizyah by the Hindus continued throughout the dominions of the sultans, emperors, and kings in various parts of India with more or less regularity, though often, the law was in force in theory only ; since it depended entirely on the ability of the sovereign to enforce his demands. But, finally, it was abolished throughout the Moghul Empire in the ninth year of the enlightened Akbar’s reign (A. D. 1665), after it had been accepted as a fundamental part of Muslim government policy in India for a period of more than eight centuries.

” the Hindu was taxed to the extent of half the produce of his land, and had to pay duties on all his buffaloes, goats, and other milk-cattle. The taxes were to be levied equally on rich and poor, at so much per acre, so much per animal. Any collectors or officers taking bribes were summarily dismissed and heavily punished with sticks, pincers, the rack, imprisonment and chains. The new rules were strictly carried out, so that one revenue officer would string together 20 Hindu notables and enforce payment by blows. No gold or silver, not even the betelnut, so cheering and stimulative to pleasure, was to be seen in a Hindu house, and the wives of the impoverished native officials were reduced to taking service in Muslim families. Revenue officers came to be regarded as more deadly than the plague; and to be a government clerk was disgrace worse than death, in so much that no Hindu would marry his daughter to such a man. ” 20[f.20]

These edicts, says the historian of the period,

” were so strictly carried out that the chaukidars and khuts and muqad-dims were not able to ride on horseback, to find weapon, to wear fine clothes, or to indulge in betel. . …. No Hindu could hold up his head. ….. Blows, confinement in the stocks, imprisonment and chains were all employed to enforce payment. ”

All this was not the result of mere caprice or moral perversion. On the other hand, what was done was in accordance with the ruling ideas of the leaders of Islam in the broadest aspects. These ideas were well expressed by the Kazi in reply to a question put by Sultan Ala-ud-Din wanting to know the legal position of the Hindus under Muslim law. The Kazi said :—

If Jaziya collection officer wishes to spit in a Hindu’s mouth, latter must open mouth to receive it. This is religious duty to subjugate Hindus

” They are called payers of tribute, and when the revenue officer demands silver from them they should without question, and with all humility and respect, tender gold. If the officer throws dirt in their mouths, they must without reluctance open their mouths wide to receive it….. The due subordination of the Dhimmi is exhibited in this humble payment, and by this throwing of dirt into their mouths. The glorification of Islam is a duty, and contempt for religion is vain. God holds them in contempt, for he says, ‘ Keep them in subjection ‘.

To keep the Hindus in abasement is especially a religious duty, because they are the most inveterate enemies of the Prophet, and because the Prophet has commanded us to slay them, plunder them, and make them captive, saying, ‘ Convert them to Islam or kill them, and make them slaves, and spoil their wealth and properly ‘. No doctor but the great doctor (Hani-fah), to whose school we belong, has assented to the imposition of jizya on Hindus ; doctors of other schools allow no other alternative but ‘ Death or Islam ‘.”

Such is the story of this period of 762 years which elapsed between the advent of Muhammad of Ghazni and the return of Ahmadshah Abdalli.

How far is it open to the Hindus to say that Northern India is part of Aryavarta ? How far is it open to the Hindus to say because once it belonged to them, therefore, it must remain for ever an integral part of India ? Those who oppose separation and hold to the ‘ historic sentiment ‘ arising out of an ancient fact that Northern India including Afghanistan was once part of India and that the people of that area were either Buddhist or Hindus, must be asked whether the events of these 762 years of incessant Muslim invasions, the object with which they were launched and the methods adopted by these invaders to give effect to their object are to be treated as though they were matters of no account ?

Apart from other consequences which have flowed from them these invasions have, in my opinion, so profoundly altered the ‘ culture and character of the northern areas, which it is now proposed to be included in a Pakistan, that there is not only no unity between that area and the rest of India but that there is as a matter of fact a real antipathy between the two.”

North India-Rest of India divide was caused by Islamic invasions

“The first consequence of these invasions was the breaking up of the unity of Northern India with the rest of India. After his conquest of Northern India, Muhammad of Ghazni detached it from India and ruled it from Ghazni. When Mahommed Ghori came in the field as a conqueror, he again attached it to India and ruled it from Lahore and then from Delhi. Hakim, the brother of Akbar, detached Kabul and Kandahar from Northern India. Akbar again attached it to Northern India. They were again detached by Nadirshah in 1738 and the whole of Northern India would have been severed from India had it not been for the check provided by the rise of the Sikhs. Northern India, therefore, has been like a wagon in a train, which can be coupled or uncoupled according to the circumstances of the moment.”

Invasions – source of pride for Muslims?

“The methods adopted by the invaders have left behind them their aftermath. One aftermath is the bitterness between the Hindus and the Muslims which they have caused. This bitterness, between the two, is so deep-seated that a century of political life has neither succeeded in assuaging it, nor in making people forget it. As the invasions were accompanied with destruction of temples and forced conversions, with spoliation of property, with slaughter, enslavement and abasement of men, women and children, what wonder if the memory of these invasions has ever remained green, as a source of pride to the Muslims and as a source of shame to the Hindus ?

But these things apart, this north-west corner of India has been a theatre in which a stern drama has been played. Muslim hordes, in wave after wave, have surged down into this area and from thence scattered themselves in spray over the rest of India. These reached the rest of India in thin currents. In time, they also receded from their farthest limits ; while they lasted, they left a deep deposit of Islamic culture over the original Aryan culture in this north-west corner of India which has given it a totally different colour, both in religious and political outlook.

The Muslim invaders, no doubt, came to India singing a hymn of hate against the Hindus. But, they did not merely sing their hymn of hate and go back burning a few temples on the way. That would have been a blessing.

They were not content with so negative a result. They did a positive act, namely, to plant the seed of Islam. The growth of this plant is remarkable. It is not a summer sapling. It is as great and as strong as an oke. Its growth is the thickest in Northern India. The successive invasions have deposited their ‘ silt ‘ more there than anywhere else, and have served as watering exercises of devoted gardeners. Its growth is so thick in Northern India that the remnants of Hindu and Buddhist culture are just shrubs.

Even the Sikh axe could not fell this oak. Sikhs, no doubt , became the political masters of Northern India, but they did not gain back Northern India to that spiritual and cultural unity by which it was bound to the rest of India before HsuanTsang. The Sikhs coupled it back to India. Still, it remains like Alsace-Lorraine politically detachable and spiritually alien so far as the rest of India is concerned. It is only an unimaginative person who could fail to take notice of these facts or insist in the face of them that Pakistan means breaking up into two what is one whole.

What is the unity the Hindu sees between Pakistan and Hindustan ? If it is geographical unity, then that is no unity…. If unity is to be of an abiding character, it must be founded on a sense of kinship, in the feeling of being kindred. In short, it must be spiritual. Judged in the light of these considerations, the unity between Pakistan and Hindustan is a myth. Indeed, there is more spiritual unity between Hindustan and Burma than there is between Pakistan and Hindustan…”

Dr Ambedkar’s quotes end here.

In the light of Babasaheb’s observation – “As the invasions were accompanied with destruction of temples and forced conversions, with spoliation of property, with slaughter, enslavement and abasement of men, women and children, what wonder if the memory of these invasions has ever remained green, as a source of pride to the Muslims and as a source of shame to the Hindus?”, the current violence/protests over CAB can be understood.

Art has no Boundaries but ‘Sita Must Convert to Islam’ – Understanding Pakistan – 2

Art has no boundaries. Artist is artist – not Indian or Pakistani. Ghulam Ali Saheb and Mehndi Hassan Saheb permeate all borders. Who can separate us? Mere man-made Lakeer? Certainly not.

I salute this boundary-less love. But I wish matters were that simple.

My first analysis on good and bad people on both sides of border dealt with what overwhelming ruling elite, establishment and media of Pakistan think about India (Hindus to be exact, as in Pakistan, India = Hindu and Hindu = India).

Next, I will analyze the biggest contributor to collective psyche of masses – cinema. Since, Pakistan has a long tradition of movies that are specifically created not just for entertainment but influencing vulnerable minds, I will have to split this analysis in multiple posts. I will begin with review of the star-studded movie whose name defines the pretext on which Pakistan separated from India – Musalman.

I choose this movie for several reasons. It is not one odd exception of fanaticism. It features the biggest superstars of Pakistan. Some of these stars have worked also in Bollywood. We Indians have paid for their mega-launches in Bollywood. Recall Zeba Bakhtiyar of Henna by RK Films? Remember Jawed Sheikh of Om Shanti Om and Namastey London?

Shaan – another lead hero of film made a career making anti-India anti-Hindu films. This includes Waar – the highest grossing Pakistani propaganda film – that blames India for suicide bombings and terrorism in Pakistan.

Oh, did I mention that Waar is produced by ARY – the media company that runs the biggest hate-India channel and suspected to be ‘very close’ to Pakistani army.

(Interestingly ARY was also distributor of PK - the Aamir Khan film which is also subdomain of Pakistan, features a Hindu girl desperate to marry a Pakistani, and has a joke on Shiva, not Prophet)

Waar – another production of ARY – is included in catalogue of Netflix India. I will discuss this in some other article. What is relevant is that the film is a representative of what reverberates most with Pakistani psyche. And don’t worry, will showcase more such films from Lollywood as examples.

When Bollywood of Hindu majority India was celebrating mega launch and success of superstars viz. Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Amir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Irrfan Khan, Emran Hashmi, Imran Khan…, this was happening in Lollywood of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

1. “Muslim Mother asks child to end Hindu-Raj”

2. “Cunning Hindu Baniya, Muslim hate, non-religious & hot daughter!”

Above clip is a crash course on Pakistani psyche. Start counting

a. This is the first scene of movie where Hindu family is shown. Without any religious context, Ishvar Allah tero naam background music starts playing! And this happens in all Pakistani movies whenever there is a Hindu family in the scene. This looks funny but one can imagine the extent of Hindu genocide Pakistan has committed. There is hardly any Hindu left to tell that no Hindu plays Ishvar Allah tero naam as Bhajan.

(It was a political gimmick used by clueless congress leadership in hope that it will ease tensions between Hindus and Muslims. It did 50% work. Many Hindus adopted Allah same as Ishvar. Many temples played it day and night on Gandhi Ji’s call. However, Muslim community seemed less impressed. No Masjid ever announced Ishvar is same as Allah. Hindus diluted their faith for Allah. Ishvar kept waiting for Muslims. As result, Pakistan, genocide and rape of Lakhs of Kafir women happened).

b. Hindu is a typical Baniya. He will have dark complexion, a Baniya cap, Tilak on forehead, an ugly mole on the face, ugly face expressions, deep hatred for Muslims. The accent and mannerisms will make him look like an ugly joker. (observe it for yourself in next videos and articles)

c. However, his Hindu daughter will be beautiful. She will either be wearing short dress or a sexy revealing Saree (to woo Muslim men as you will see next). She will be liberal and not much impressed with her Hindu faith. She will try to educate her fanatic Hindu father about innocence of Muslims but latter being typical ‘Makkar Hindu Baniya’ will refuse to listen.

d. Hindu daughter refuses to go to temple for Bhagvan ka Darshan.

e. Her bigot Hindu father fears that his daughter might turn another Jodha Bai! Those who don’t know, Jodha Bai was said to be Hindu princess whose father had to send her to Akbar’s Harem as symbol of surrender before Mughals. Reference to Jodha Bai keeps appearing in Pakistani movies frequently with immense pride. One can understand reasons and mindset behind disappearances, forced conversion, abduction, Nikah/sex-slavery/flesh-trade of thousands of Hindu-Sikh minor girls in Pakistan (and every part of world where Islamism has reached including India & Europe).

A narrative has been built among Muslims of Pakistan that Hindu women/girls don’t want to remain Hindus/visit temples and it is Muslims’ duty to save them from Kuffar (Hindu faith), greatest sin of Butparasti (idol-worship), Behayayi (sin of wearing indecent revealing clothes, short-dresses) and hell. Just check statistics of Hindu-Sikh women/girls/minors abducted for conversion/Nikah to understand better.

3. “Muslim hero only takes shelter in Muslim households”

Can you see full dresses of women in Muslim family? Even a 6 yrs old child has covered her full body. Remember short dressed Hindu girl in earlier video? Contrast created between Hindu and Muslim women so that former can be ‘corrected’ later.

4. “Indian Army conspires against its Muslim officers coz they are Muslims”

5. “Indian Army considers Muslims as terrorists”

6. “Muslim Major of Indian Army explains why Muslims are suicidal in nature and why he is so proud (!)”

7. “Liberal Muslim boyfriend brings her Diwali gift but her Hindu father hates Muslims, won’t let him enter his house”

As expected, hot & enlightened daughter of cunning ‘Hindu Baniya’ fell for a Muslim boy. All set to become Jodha Bai! Muslim boy is so liberal that he bought her Diwali gift despite her father’s extreme hatred for Muslims.

8. “Napaak – Impure Hindu can’t touch Quran”

A Hindu enters Muslim Major’s house in Indian Kashmir and throws away Quran. Lady replies – We Muslims will cut you into so many pieces that your “Hindu Qaum (community)” won’t be able to count. Even a 6 years old girl knows sanctity of Quran and knows why it is her religious duty to not let any Kafir Hindu touch it. Now compare her with a grown up Hindu adult girl who refuses to go to temple.

9. “But Muslim men can touch/ caress/ romance Hindu women in open”

The man in video is younger brother of Muslim Major. While his sister-in-law and niece made it clear that a Hindu can’t touch Quran and dared whole Hindu Qaum in previous video, he touches, dances, and romances with a Hindu girl in open. Go back and check moral values, head-cover and ‘decent’ dress of his family women. Now compare it with his Hindu girlfriend’s. A desperate woman who only wants to seduce her Muslim boyfriend.

Rule is clear. Muslim woman must be decent, confident and firm on her faith. She doesn’t go out with boys. While Hindu girl is available for all, clueless about her faith and is meant for Muslim men.

10. “Coward Hindu lynch mob vs brave Muslim”

Just look at the way Hindu Baniya walks up to his daughter’s Muslim boyfriend, his facial expressions, his repeated hatred for Muslims, frequent Ram Ram chants and finally out of the blue – Ye Musla to Gau Mata se bhi jyada zor me dikh raha hai (This Muslim is even more powerful than Gau Mata- mother cow). Unnecessary reference to cow for hurting Hindu sentiments is consistent across all walks of life – politics, movies, literature, art, TV, media and street. Gaumutra jokes are not a new phenomenon.

11. “Finally, agenda is out! Hindu Baniya’s daughter wants to be with Shahid in next birth too”

Forgets that Shahid’s faith doesn’t have next birth. Shahid will have his virgins in jannat!

12. “Girl finally tells her Hindu God – I don’t have belief in you. My love is above my faith”

Hindu girl rebels for love. She challenges Hindu God – “I don’t believe in traditions/customs. I don’t want to understand faith. I only know love.” At 0:24, she actually shows finger to God in denial and declares her dissociation. In end, vulgar dance at God’s feet seals her disbelief.

13. “Hindu Army officer punishes a small kid for being Muslim”

14. “Hindu Army officer asks his Bhagvan – What material are Musalmans made of?”

15. “Hindu girls are prostitutes. Whenever hero refers to courtesans, he doesn’t forget to mention their Hindu faith”

16. “Hindu girlfriend of Muslim man reminds jealous Hindu army man- how Akbar kept Jodha Bai in his bed”

a. Hindu Army officer of India tortures Hindu girl and her Muslim boyfriend because she loves him and doesn’t care about her faith.

b. Imagine the satisfaction director/dialogue writer got when they made Hindu say – “You have thrown honour of all Hindus beneath one Muslim’s feet!”

c. Hindu officer assures Hindu girl to punish her coz she did Balatkaar (rape) with Muslim man! Poor Hindi perhaps. He wanted to say sex.

d. When a Hindu officer asked her not to be in relationship with a Muslim, Hindu girl reminds him proudly how Hindus had to send their women to Akbar’s bed to save themselves!

Those who have been to West UP in India or any similar Islamist dominated places must know this is exactly how Hindus are ridiculed by a community that proudly claims they ruled Hindus for 1000 years and kept Hindu women in beds.

I will analyse this Islamist fetish – keeping “Hindu women in beds” (and being proud of it) that explains thousands of cases of abduction, rape, forced conversion, Nikah, selling, trafficking and flesh-trade involving Hindu girls in Pakistan and India every month – in detail in my upcoming articles.

e. In the end, Muslim boyfriend of Hindu girl dares all Hindu gods to find Azad (Jihadi protagonist) who plans to carry out attacks on Hindus. Apart from Hindu women in beds, another obsession of Islamists – idol worship and so many gods of Hinduism is interesting. Almost everywhere, mockery of idolatry and many gods (called Butparasti and Shirk in Islamic lingo) of Hindus will be seen in Pakistani ‘Art’.

17. “Hindu Army officers disrobe Muslim women. Muslims never touch others’ women”

a. After explaining how Muslims made Hindu women Jodha Bais in their beds for centuries, movie highlights how Muslims never touch women of others. Genius!

b. Hindu governor’s daughter ‘Sita’ has been abducted by Kashmiri ‘freedom fighters’ who can be disrobed. There is a consistent practice in Pakistani movies to have most Hindu female characters named after Hindu goddesses – Sita, Kaushalya, Shakuntala (observe it in current and upcoming articles). Some of them will be made courtesans, some made girlfriends of Muslims and some are used for vulgar rants. For example, “first save your Sita who can be disrobed” reminds us of some online abusive troll or a roadside religious fanatic/rioter who posts/hurls vulgar comments/morphed pictures of Hindu goddesses to hurt religious sentiments.

c. Muslim Major of Indian Army who has now joined Kashmiri terrorists (ISPR/ISI play at work to flare up Muslim sentiment in Indian Army) says Hindus propagate falsehood regarding Muslims being violent.

18. “Hindu is Kutta (dog), Sikhs are brave, mutiny in Indian Army – ISPR/ISI smiling”

19. “Hindu Qaum (race) is liar. Sikh race (!) is truthful. ISPR’s googly!”

20. “Sita converts to Islam. She wants to stay with her abductor Azad Khan”

This is second Hindu female character of the movie rebelling against Hindu faith. Because Hindus are liars. She regrets taking birth in Hindu faith. But now she rectifies Allah’s mistake. She converts to Islam in 15 seconds. Moulvi quickly covers her naked Beghairat (indecent) head and makes her recite Kalma.

Perfect guide for Muslim fanatics in Pakistan/elsewhere to abduct, convert and marry Hindu/Non-Muslim girls. No surprise news of abduction, forced conversion and Nikah of a Hindu/Sikh minor girl is as definite as first ray of light with sunrise every day in Pakistan. Trend is similar in almost all Indian states having presence of Islamists.

Be it Love Jihad debate in India or white girl grooming gangs from Pak in Britain, the mindset of ‘winning’ others’ women by hook or crook under religious sanction/encouragement is clearly visible.

21. “Azadi is not about Kashmiriyat but all about digging graves of Kuffar (Non-Muslims)”

22. “Lady Sikh Indian Army officer joins Muslims in Azadi. Coz Muslims are thousand times better than Hindus”

Keep counting how many Non-Muslim girls have gone to Muslim camp. There were 3 Hindu-Sikh female characters in movie. Baniya’s daughter, Governor’s daughter, Sikh Army officer. All of them had converted to Islam/embraced Muslims by the movie ended. Coincidence!

23. “Hindu dogs try to bomb mosque but they can only bark and not bite Muslims”

24. “Suicide bomber kills Indian Army men with Allahu Akbar chants. Bhagvan of Hindus gave them Kutte ki Maut (dog’s death) whereas Allah granted Muslim Shahadat (martyrdom)”

Movie ends with the trademark Islamist suicide attack.

Now let’s run a quick “good and bad people on both sides” test.

Two main actors of the movie – Jawed Sheikh and Shan Shahid are Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar of Pakistan film industry. The most popular actor of all time and highest paid actor respectively. How many times have you seen the following in an Indian movie:

Amitabh Bachchan says – Thank God I have taken shelter in Hindu household not Muslim’s?

Akshay Kumar says – This Muslim race always spreads lies about Hindus?

Amitabh Bachchan says – There is an arrangement of Muslim bar dancers in party?

Akshay Kumar says – I will dig graves of all Muslims?

Amitabh Bachchan converts a Muslim woman named Aisha and marries her off to his brother Arjun?

Akshay Kumar kills Muslims chanting Jai Shri Ram with declaration – “Your Allah gave you pig’s death. My Ram gave me Moksha!”?

Anushka Sharma portrays Hindu girl warning Muslims – O Muslims, how could you touch our book Gita with your filthy Muslim hands?

Deepika Padukone portraying Muslim girl Fatima, tells her father – “I don’t need to offer Namaz. You alone do it” or dance exposing half of body in front of Prophet’s picture to declare her disbelief?

Priyanka Chopra portrays another Muslim girl Zainab who does romance with Hindu man in open, ready to accept Hinduism while he dares her Prophet and Allah to stop him with all Jannati Jinns and angels?

I can’t think of any such movie.

Yes equality and borderless love is good. But only if it is mutual.

Else this one-sided equality only results in thousands of innocent girls crushed on beds with forced conversion, Nikah and prostitution.

Q. You just picked one movie. Don’t generalise.

A. I will review 5 mega movies. Rest assured, each one will surpass previous in hate, bigotry and naked attempts towards onscreen Hindu genocide and rape.

Q. Only 5? Not enough.

A. Why don’t you give one example from Indian side from actors of same stature?

Q. Gadar was blatantly anti-Pak. There are hundreds of anti-Pak movies.

A. Read article again. It is about Pakistan promoting genocide of Hindus, rape and conversion of Hindu women to Islam etc. The very point is – Hindu is Pak’s enemy not India. India is enemy because Hindu is in majority. How many anti-Muslim movies did Bollywood produce?

Q. Gadar was anti-Muslim. There are many dialogues.

A. Bring one comparable to those presented here. On contrary, Gadar is full of balancing like- Kashi Kaba ek Hai ek hai Ram Rahim, Islam Zindabad, Pakistan Zindabad! The hero was even ready to convert to Islam!

Here is the point. Even the most anti-Pak movie of India till date was blatantly secular. Show one Pakistani movie in which Muslim man/woman was ready to convert to Hinduism and say Hindustan Zindabad!

Q. Look, movies do not depict right or wrong. They only show fiction.

A. Why is it that they keep challenging Hindu gods and mocking cow but never drew Prophet’s cartoons in fiction? Why does this fiction work in one direction always? Why these movies made careers of its superstars in Pakistan?

Q. Forget past. Let’s look ahead. Let the actors cross boundaries and perform in each other’s countries. It will bring countries closer.

A. This movie Musalman was made in 2001. The protagonist of the movie – Jawed Sheikh has worked in 13 Indian films since this poisonous anti-Hindu performance.

Rule of engagement seems to be like this. Pakistan/Islamists will continue to promote Hindu genocide, rape, conversion and insult of Hindu faith. Meanwhile India must bear responsibility of being secular state, culture, art etc. It must welcome snakes that are directly responsible for the screams of Hindu-Sikh minor girls emanating from conversion centers of Pakistan.

Have you ever thought why movies – Ishaqzaade, Ranjhana, and Bajirao Mastani were banned in Pakistan but Jodha Akbar became one of the most popular movies ever? In first three movies, Muslim girl fell in love with Hindu man. In fourth, Jodha Bai was brought to Akbar’s bed.

If this can’t open eyes, nothing could. Time for liberals to introspect. Neutrality between right and wrong is suicide.

Will discuss 4 more movies in upcoming posts. Stay tuned.

I thank Shri Sanjeev Newar for critical inputs. Indebted to my team for all support and hard work.
