The Minority Fraud


Today marks the 10th Anniversary of this blog site. It’s a nice feeling to be still on when bloggers normally do not sustain over long periods. The targets of Corrupt, anti-Hindu media, corrupt anti-Hindu politics and anti-national Communists and those who covertly waged war on Hindus have all taken a beating in the last decade. That’s another great feeling.

Much of the media stands discredited now. All their big stars who could get away with anything without a challenge are now trashed for every lie they peddle. Newspapers like Indian Express, TOI or The Hindu are no more valued for news content. Everyone on social media is a fact-checker, everyone with a mobile is a citizen-journalist that can influence events. As it should be in a democracy, SM has delivered immense power to the people – where it belongs. The Commies have dramatically diminished in power and relegated to a corner of India. The other Commie, anti-Hindu outfits like Congress, SP and so on are clinging for dear life. ModiSarkar has been bold in decisions like 370, Triple Talaq, CAA and more will come.

ModiSarkar has also shown the Islamists and Commies who have rioted, destroyed public property and squatted and blocked areas like Shaheen Bagh in Delhi that they will not deter the govt and nor will Modi-Shah give into violent tactics or idiotic journos screaming about what foreign politicians say. It is now a redeeming feature of India that we have a PM that is 100% Indian and thinks and works for India and doesn’t crawl for vested interests abroad like Sonia Congress. We all know very well that the riots and violence are engineered by Congress, their Commie allies and, without a doubt, their Paki sponsors. There is some more courage required – and that is in destroying the nonsense of “Minority”:
 
When the Ministry of Minority Affairs (MMA) was carved out of the Ministry of Social Justice in 2006 it didn’t cause much flutter and hardly received much notice. News transmission still wasn’t blaring and SM hardly existed. But this particular act of SoniaG and its criminal nature escaped the other political parties too. The Sonia-Congress agenda being dictated by her Catholic persuasions required that she create this particular ministry to break India even if it meant partnering the Islamists and radical Mullahs in her quest to completely marginalize Hindus. The Christian population being very low and having strong presence only in some parts of India compelled Sonia-Congress to make Muslims their mainstay. Sonia had learned the hard way that she didn’t really need “Thoo seventhee thoo”. All her Congress needed was some 180-200 seats to rule India – the rest could easily be made up by the other anti-Hindu parties in the south and north. Thus, the fraud of MMA was perpetrated with that specific agenda of perpetuating power for the Gandhi family.

This MMA was then used to launch quite a few “Minority” schemes and policies. Among the major laws arising out this was the RTE Bill passed in 2009 soon after the Congress got a second term. Following the lead of the Centre, many bigger states also had their own MMAs. In election after election, Sonia has also met radical Hindu-haters like the Imam Bhukari to seek Muslim votes. From its inception till date all the ministers of the MMA have been Muslims. So, the right title for the ministry should have been Ministry of Muslims. The other REAL minorities like Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists or Parsis are enterprising people and don’t beg for doles all that much from governments. The only major beneficiaries of this ministry have been Muslims and Christians and to a large extent Muslims and Muslims only.

While the Congress and its Muslim allies like SP, TMC, RJD practically did nothing for Muslims they repeatedly sucked up to all their Mullahs to keep all of them in their “Tabela”. Even terror-promoter Zakir Naik was donating money to the Gandhi Foundation. Congress also released over 20 Paki terrorists for no reason or rhyme and no bargain. The Hurriyat and Separatists were funded well by the GOI and their media criminals (like NDTV) enjoyed offices and stays in luxury govt buildings in Kashmir. The hands of security forces were tied in Kashmir and terrorists and stone-pelters had a free run. And in the rest of India they pushed Muslims into the clamour of “we are victims, we are victims, we are victims” of the Hindu majority. This had no basis but served Sonia’s politics well. She had almost passed the Communal Violence Bill that would have held Hindus as the culprit of any communal conflict.

Sonia did estimate the rise of Narendra Modi as a threat to her. There were friends like Ishrat Jehan & co that were used to deal with Modi. Even in the campaign leading up to LS2014 blasts were engineered at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. All that failed and Modi became the PM. The BJP won 2014 with a clear majority and won 2019 with an even bigger majority. Unable to combat Modi politically or in the Parliament the Congress and its “Muslim allies” knew this was the time to unleash their “programmed army” to wreak havoc across India. There is not a single country in the world where Muslims live in harmony with the majority or other communities. But they will happily keep claiming to be “minority” and under that garb unleash violence, blockades and many crimes. This effort is ably supported by many Jihadi media personnel who don’t carry guns or bombs but will twist every situation or incident to portray the Muslim as the “victim” when the original offence itself had originated from the Muslim:
 
Suhasini the Hissini, Rana Ayyub, Saba Naqvi – all of them come out of their burqa to help Muslims play victim. The nonsense above had started with “Kagaz nahin dikhayenge” by the Muslims but they don’t have a problem standing in line with their “Kagaz” to vote. Because voting for their Sickular party is compulsory – mandated by the husband or father and the Mullah. Their agitators are not seeking any explanation of CAA or NRC. From UP to Bengal to Karnataka to Delhi – the violence is orchestrated by the one that developed this “Minority fraud” format – Congress. The tag of “Minority” being victims of some imaginary nonsense is the hammer being used to drive a non-existent nail. And then they indulge in violence themselves with masks and claim to be victims as they did in JNU. In comes another product of this Jihad – Sharjeel Imam.

Sharjeel is an educated man, so his Jihad is a bit more sophisticated than self-inflicted wounds that the JNU idiots play with. He has larger plans. Among the many stupid rants that this guy let off was one to cut off Assam and NE from India. He wants 5 lakh Muslims to gather and block the “Chicken Neck” which is like a gateway to the NE. I am absolutely sure that the usage of this term and his bizarre plan to cut off India is not home-grown alone. There is an element of sinister foreign input in it. This is the reason why the GOI and many State govts were alarmed when they have been ignoring many stupid statements by the Muslim rioters. This brave Muslim warrior who wants to break India was hiding in his hometown of Jehanabad in Bihar and was arrested quickly.

Sharjeel wanted to show some extraordinary daring in baring the Islamists’ plan to break India. This community that claims to be a “victim” in everything frequently indulges in an orgy of violence all over at the drop of a hat. “Hinduon se Azadi”, “Desh jala ke rakhenge”, “Bharat tere tukde” all these slogans are coming from this lot that wants to play “victim”. It seems the only way to combat ModiSarkar is to use Muslims as the preferred “tool”. The idiotic protest at Shaheen Bagh in Delhi had women and tiny infants sitting in for nearly two months. One 4-month old infant died due to the cold. Such is the desperation for revolt that they didn’t spare even infants from their tyranny. Now that Delhi elections are over, I am sure this Shaheen Bagh jokers will go back home to plot some new adventure to again start earning their daily allowance of 500/- and biryani packets.

This “Victimhood” Minority has shown its potential for violence and disruption repeatedly. It has driven out Hindus from Kashmir. It has made life hell for Hindus in Kerala and TN through outfits like PFI. Hindu temples are destroyed right under ModiSarkar’s nose in Delhi. Kamlesh Tiwari was murdered in broad daylight. Scores of murders and rapes happen without fear. All this is not the handiwork of some “Darra hua Musalman”. All of this is organised violence by political parties that are using Muslims as tools of anarchy and violence. Since the Sonia regime, road-Namaz, rail-Namaz, highway-Namaz, garden-Namaz – all increased dramatically, all actions of assertions by this minority. This is one of the greatest crimes committed against Hindus and other Non-Muslims in India by political parties and various govts.

There are many parts and pockets in India where Muslims are not a minority by numbers. They are actually a majority in such places. And wherever they are in majority, there have been frequent cases of harassment of Hindus, including being driven out of the locality like in Kairana or Meerut, both in UP. Whether Muslims are in minority or majority it is an undeniable fact that other communities have suffered and that is why the CAA had to be passed. Not just that, Europe too is realizing that this is indeed a serious problem with violence, murders, rapes spiraling out of control. France too has started cracking down on this problem as did Switzerland earlier:
There is no one definition of what constitutes a minority internationally. However, each country or region can have a different yardstick. For instance, Sikhs are not a minority in Punjab. It is now a challenge for ModiSarkar to redefine what constitutes a minority and how it applies to different regions or to the country itself. Regardless of anything else Muslims certainly don’t constitute a minority in this country at around 17 crores of population which is growing without control. They are the second largest majority and not a minority anymore. In some regions in the country they are actually a majority. The violence in UP over CAA was quickly and deftly dealt with by the Yogi govt. It is the continuous violence in Delhi – be it JNU, Jamia or some other agitation or blockades like Shaheen Bagh that is alarming, even when it’s the BJP that is in charge of law and order in Delhi.

It is time Amit Shah and Narendra Modi redefined minority or completely scrapped this fraudulent classification. The fraudulent ministry created just to pander to Muslims with only Muslim ministers must also be scrapped. There is no need for any minority nonsense in India. If at all, minorities should be those who are less than 2-3% of the population. Along with other laws (like CAA), Uniform Civil Code must also be enforced and all citizens must have one civil law even if their social practices like marriage ceremonies have different patterns. Whether Hindu, Muslim or Sikh polygamy must be banned and the discrimination in education must also go. There cannot be minority education laws and majority education laws. RTE discrimination must end. This minority fraud has gone on long enough and is sure to create serious civil strife if this fraud is not ended.

Our Terrorists Better Than Yours



There has been terrorism in almost all parts of India. It must be a rare state that hasn’t suffered a terrorist attack since independence. I suppose Sikkim could be one of them. By now it has become a regular facet of life in India. Since 26/11 our media has been a little more careful and sensitive in reporting terror attacks but this is not because they are any wiser. If earlier there was a race for histrionics and breathless reporting, we now have a race to claim the most “mature” reporting. Who knows, we might now even have a category of awards for “Best reporting of a terror attack” given these attacks are inevitable. It’s not just what happens on TV but also off it that produces a lot of unwanted and mindless spin over a tragedy.

As the attacks at Dilsukh Nagar in Hyderabad unfolded on February 21 there was information being shared all over including Twitter. People were reporting blood banks, trying to find info about their family or friends with others helping to relay the message. Naturally, there was also the usual chatter about Islamic terror and Hindu terror. We will get to that part but when everyone else was concerned about life and death Sagarika Ghose’s friend calls her up to tell her the area was known for its meat shops and meat retailers. Damn! How are we gonna eat beef in that area now? People from Hyderabad rejected her piece of info claiming the area was a huge market that had all kinds of things including theatres, temples and malls and bazaars. Of all the things meat shops seem to assume significance for Sagarika and she relays it. She then says “no pre-conceived notions, just facts”. I hope she runs a FTN show on how to bring the meat shops back. But I doubt anyone is in doubt what she wanted to really convey through her “meat shop” tweet. (Tweeple from Hyderabad claim the nearest meat shop is at least over a km away).

Let’s now turn to “maturity”. Oh there you are! TM Veeraraghav of CNN-IBN and his claim that his channel was the most informative, non-speculative and mature in reporting the Hyderabad attack. How does he know? He was probably watching other channels and didn’t watch his own. The downright stupidity in the manner Rajdeep Sardesai conducted himself in covering the attack is alarming. He was banging away with theories of polarisation and immediate dangers and so on. He even called in Asaduddin Owaisi to comment on the situation. Owaisi is the guy with cases against him and someone who threatened a “third wave of Muslim radicalisation” from the parliament. There was worse. What does it say of Rajdeep when even Owaisi told him “you are more of a politician than me”? I haven’t known TMV to be bombastic or indulge in moronery like his boss so we can let this off as a one-time gaffe. I suppose Arnab and Times Now put a lot of pressure on these guys. But Arnab had his own theories and started with the US handling of terror. And NDTV? I really don’t know what they did since I didn’t watch. I just hope they didn’t coin a new term “moderate terrorists” like they used for Yasin Malik calling him “moderate separatist”.

But for a while let’s put our media folks aside. We can’t blame all our media crooks for terrorist attacks, can we? This is a better time to look at our politicians. The Hyderabad attack came a day after Sushilkumar Shinde expressed regret for his shameless speech about “Hindu terror”. Zero tolerance, war on terror and all that crap is what people are being fooled with and a majority of people happily also buy the argument that “terrorists have no religion”.  The very idea of saffron or Hindu terror was created by the Congress to distract from the real challenge and the real enemy of the current spate of terrorism that India is facing; Islamic terror. As long as the politicians fake the real cause or live in denial India will never be able to combat terror and terrorists. And that is that! Simple! And for those who still live in the hogwash that we are at “war on terror” I will have to recall Allen West’s speech I had reproduced in a previous post. Here’s how the American General who has seen battle summed it up:

“...I’m sick and tired of people saying “war on terror”. There is no such thing as war on terror. In World War Two, how smart would it have been, if the United States of America said they were at war with the Blitzkrieg. Or if they were at war with the Kamikaze.......  A nation does not go to war against a tactic. A nation goes to war against an ideology, and that’s what we’ve been talking about here today....” His speech in February 2010 can be viewed on Youtube.

If one wishes to wage war the enemy must be clearly identified. Who is India’s enemy? If a majority of these terrorist attacks are emanating from Pakistan what exactly is our govt doing? They are exchanging French kisses with them and our media is busy describing the dresses and hand bags of Hina Rabani Khar. No matter what the compulsions of vote banks and agents of Ghulam Nabi Fai and other terror sympathisers you simply cannot have a diplomatic relationship with a nation that frequently attacks you and hope to win peace. This is the real problem. Islamic terror does not imply Indian Muslims are naturally terrorists. But unless the govt accepts that there is Islamic terror and the route through Kashmir, where it started, is the belief that Kashmir belongs to Pakistan because of Muslim majority they will live in denial. Instead, the Congress govt trumps up some charges against a few Hindus and then drums up the chant of “Hindu terror” to please their votebanks. And it’s even starting to sound funny.

In the last few posts I explained how “malnutrition in Gujarat” is used as a stick to beat any economic progress or development in the state and Narendra Modi. Name any progress or achievement of Modi or Gujarat the haters will say “What about malnutrition”? That’s how Sadhvi Pragya has become. You name Mumbai 1993 they’ll say “What about the Sadhvi”? You name 1989, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and you will consistently get a question: “What about Sadhvi Pragya”? So, even now when someone mentions the Hyderabad attack being Islamic terror, the “Sadhvi Pragya” question pops up immediately. Of course, it doesn’t matter that the Sadhvi is not charge sheeted yet and is languishing in jail. This is further compounded by Opposition leaders like Sushma Swaraj also chanting “terrorists have no religion”. She has political compulsions, I don’t. I’m sorry, but they do. Most of these Islamic terror attacks are carried out in the name of Allah-Hu-Akbar, the attackers swear on the Quran and their motivators also promise them martyrdom and virgins in heaven. Remember, being at war with Islamic terrorists is not the same as being at war with Islam. No nation can be at war with a religion. It’s simply not possible. But if the terrorist’s Faith results in their action there can also be no denying that religion motivates them.

We need not go back into history of a thousand years. Even in the last two centuries religion has been the source of terrorism. Whether it’s the holocaust, whether it’s Northern Ireland or whether it’s Palestine, religion has been at the core of terrorism. The terrorism in Kashmir displaced lakhs of Kashmiri Pandits. The day our govt accepted that and did nothing about it they welcomed terrorism to our doorsteps. They created the window and kept the broken windows unfixed for permanent entry of terrorists. The so-called fight for liberation of Kashmir is no battle for strategic real estate alone. It is without doubt a battle born out of religion where the Muslim separatists and terrorists base their philosophy on the Muslim majority theory of the region. Why are we then being fooled with this “terrorists have no religion” nonsense? What exactly do these terrorists want? Unlike the Naxals, who are also terrorists, these terrorists are motivated by nothing but religion. If there is one count on which we can agree “terrorists have no religion” it has to be the application of law. Punish the terrorists regardless of whether they are Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians or even atheists. Aha! That’s where the problem lies. Our politicians even want punishments to be applied selectively. MLAs are now passing resolutions for mercy to terrorists.

Here’s something else that might shock a few. 26/11 is not the biggest terror attack in India in terms of lives lost. This is what the media and politicians have peddled to the people. The 1993 Mumbai blasts cost us 257 lives. Seven bombs in 2006 in Mumbai train bombings killed more than 26/11 (172). The Bush Doctrine at the very least laid out one honest truth. It stated that it is not possible to protect every street and corner of a country from terror strikes; the only solution is to take the offensive to the terrorists. No matter how much people and media scream it is impossible to protect every street and corner of India, especially with our huge population of one billion plus. Here’s another shocker: even before 26/11 happened, National Security Adviser MK Narayanan pointed out that were 800 terror cells in India with external support (read TOI report). That was in August 2008. The NIA, CBI, CIA, MIA, POS and all should have been busting these 800 cells and should have finished by now. Instead, they caught hold of some Sadhvi Pragya and still haven’t managed to prosecute her. That says a lot for zero tolerance. Has anyone ever asked in the parliament what happened to these 800 terrorist cells? Has the media asked? And then Rajdeep will say… Oh that information was already in the public domain and the other channel is wrongly claiming “expose”. Take that Rajdeep and ask that question.

The only way to fight terrorists is to take the battle to them, to take the offensive to them. And what does our govt do? They play dossier-dossier! They indulge in cultural exchanges. They want to show our enemies how sweet we are. Our news channels call terrorists who sleep with terrorists in Pakistan “moderate separatists”. Our Bollywood folks are short of talent in India and have to rely on enemy talent. Our commie folks have undying love for them. And our media? They’re the biggest laugh. They can’t live without enemy panellists or appearing as panellists on their show. Our ministers, like Shashi Tharoor, moderate cross-border debates on how civilians can end terrorism. That’s how you fight terrorists, eh?

Instead of acting and taking the battle to terrorists our politicians are busy researching the colour of terror. Most Congress morons shirk the responsibility with the fake argument of “saffron terror” and our Opposition too sings their song of “terrorists have no religion”. I guess all terrorists must be happy atheists. And our media has now shown progress. Some are busy informing us if there were meat shops in the place of attack. Some tell us our coverage was more mature. I’m positive that at the next attack our media will be hosting some debate: Is our terrorist better than yours? SMS reply to…

Loonies In The Box


I haven’t read any book by Chetan Bhagat for the simple reason that no one has gifted me any of his books. I have no intention of buying one either. Well, I’ve made my “position” on the issue clear and I doubt I would bother reading highly intellectual stuff. That should satisfy Arnab Goswami. “You are either with this absurdity that is going on or against it”. What’s your position? That is the challenge Justice Arnab throws up to panelists over the Salman Rushdie issue and many other issues. (What is really wrong with this man?) Somewhere in the middle of Arnab’s 90 minute Newshour (January 23) on TimesNow Chetan Bhagat asked the most important question on the show: “Why are lunatics on the Newshour"? Arnab quickly responded by stating there are no lunatics on the Newshour, just honourable men and women. Er.. with the exception of one. And that is Arnab himself. To call him a moderator of debates would be exceptionally charitable. He out-screams and shuts out every panellist, his arms fly all over and the number of times he asks someone to “take a position” I wonder if he wouldn’t be better off discussing the Kama Sutra instead of the Rushdie issue. It’s hard to blame Arnab alone for being the lunatic. He is one among many loonies in the media. What Arnab does not appreciate is that the Govt of India has indeed taken a position on the issue; that of “lunatics”.

Here’s what the TOI writes in an editorial called “Stop the hate” about religious zealots in Kashmir: “For the past few weeks, a Christian priest and foreign NGOs have been targeted for seeking to persuade Muslim youth to give up their faith in return for liquor, women and money. One priest, Pastor Chander Mani Khanna, had to appear before a sharia court to defend himself against charges of proselytization ……The state government has remained on the sidelines when it should have ensured protection to the victims of the hate campaign”. That’s funny! Since when has concern for victims of hate been a priority for the Govt? Mind you, the piece talks about frivolous evidence and govt inaction but it doesn’t wonder why a sharia court is in operation in the first place. Forget govt protection against religious zealots, what is currently evident is that the govt itself is the zealot. Also, entities TOI refers to as ‘victims’ in Kashmir are happily practicing the same trade in many other states in India where Hindus instead of Muslims are their prey. It is just that other states do not have sharia courts yet.

From the time the Rushdie controversy erupted the centre and the Rajasthan govt have kept muslim passions played up and electoral points are scored in UP and elsewhere. As the final instalment in their plan they even cooked up stories of paid assassins out to kill Rushdie. The Mumbai police have even denied the existence of any such plot or assassins. Even if that were to be true one has to wonder why no suspects were rounded up in the face of such strong intelligence. Interestingly, dealing with the victim is what Rushdie explained in his letter to Rajiv Gandhi on his book being banned. Firstpost has reproduced that letter (excerpts):

This really is astounding. It is as though, having identified an innocent person as a likely target for assault by muggers or rapists, you were to put that person in jail for protection. This is no way, Mr Gandhi, for a free society to behave ….. I deeply resent my book being used as a political football; what should matter to you more than my resentment is that you come out of this looking not only Philistine and anti-democratic but opportunistic.” Has anything changed since that time in 1988? Nothing! Instead, the zealots in the govt have only gotten worse in their opportunistic football.

In all of this the biggest and most evil misuse is that of the police force. It has become another football in the whole episode and will continue to be misused. Abhinav Kumar, apparently a very disturbed IPS officer, writes about the police tragedy thus in the DNA:

What then accounts for this equally remarkable and consistent display of cowardice by our police forces? Speaking from some experience, all it would have taken for Rushdie to attend the Jaipur Literature Festival was for a senior police officer in Jaipur to reassure the organisers and Rushdie of their support and issue a stern warning to all those threatening violence and take suitable preventive measures. Instead, we are told the local police leaned on the organisers to ask Rushdie to stay away and allegedly backed it up by encouraging rumours of paid assassins being dispatched from Mumbai, something the Mumbai police denied. What is beyond doubt is that the top leadership of Rajasthan police preferred to stay silent and the forces of bigotry and obscurantism had a field day. Ask any senior officer and they have a stock answer. ‘Our first priority is to maintain law and order.’ Even if it means turning a blind eye to illegal behaviour by gangs of goons paying lip service to some extreme ideology on the right or left of the political spectrum, or promoting some bigoted vision of ethnic pride or religious hatred? What is the point of maintaining such law and order? Contrast this apathy with the alacrity with which the police will respond if one tries to shout slogans or show a black flag at a rally featuring any of our political bigwigs. Regarded as a major ‘breach of security’ and a grave professional lapse, the offender will be quickly rounded up and made to feel the full force of the law, often quite literally while the police officers on duty may well face disciplinary action for this ‘dereliction’ of duty”. Sure, along with the goons in govt and on TV, the police forces have also become lunatics.

As of now not only has Salman Rushdie withdrawn from the Jaipur Litfest but also the video conferencing has been called off by the organisers as the Rajasthan police once again feared a “law and order” situation. But for the mullahs in the govt opportunity always knocks twice. This time, American comedian Jay Leno is the focus of affection. Leno cracks some poor joke about the ‘Golden Temple’ being a summer house for presidential hopeful Mitt Romney and our govt wants an apology from him. Comedians in the US lampoon every politician and every religion and the US First amendment protects their free speech. It’s nothing new. One can understand Sikhs protesting as a group but why does it need the govt to interfere? Well, in all the noise about Rushdie, Muslims and UP elections it is quite easy to forget there are elections in Punjab too and such an opportunity to stand up for Sikh sentiments is truly a gift for the govt.

As for the media, in the last stages of the Jaipur event they were mostly on stage giving political speeches. And why not? Most of their nightly debates are laced with their own political persuasions and theatre rather than any concern for real issues. Rajdeep Sardesai tweets: “Sikhs target Jay Leno, Hindus Husain, Muslims Rushdie. Guess we are 'sensitive' people after all!” Well, well Rajdeep might like to wonder which one issues regular death threats though. And here’s the thing about Rajdeep; he conveniently forgets his own community which Ashok Malik explains in an article “Playing with fire” in the TOI and I quote: “State sensitivity to street sentiment reached such ridiculous levels that when Da Vinci Code was released in 2006, Priyaranjan Das Munshi, then the information and broadcasting minister, held back the film from cinemas till he had reviewed it in the company of Catholic priests”.  That’s the bias that rules the head of lunatics in the media as well.

There are certain issues that are simply not debatable or negotiable. But you can trust the media to reduce such issues to a farce through their mindless debates. Entering India and participating in events by a PIO is neither debatable nor negotiable. The protesting lunatics were not so visible on TV screens. But the ones emboldening the govt in suppressing such freedoms are the lunatics in the media who kill issues with mindless debates.
