In 1976, African-American
Alex Haley published “Roots: The Saga of an American Family”,
a novel based on his family's history, starting with the story of Kunta Kinte,
who was kidnapped in the Gambia in 1767 and transported to Maryland to be sold
as a slave. Haley claimed to be a seventh-generation descendant of Kunta Kinte.
He went to the village of Juffure, where Kunta Kinte grew up and which is still
in existence, and listened to a tribal historian tell the story of Kinte's
capture. Haley also traced the records of the ship, The Lord Ligonier, which he said carried his ancestor to America.
Haley has stated that the most emotional moment of his life occurred on
September 29, 1967, when he stood at the site in Annapolis, Maryland where his
ancestor had arrived from Africa in chains exactly 200 years before. A memorial
depicting Haley reading a story to young children gathered at his feet has
since been erected in the center of Annapolis. The official page of Haley’s book notes:
“Alex Haley's Roots is the monumental two-century drama of
Kunta Kinte and the six generations who came after him. By tracing back his own
roots, Haley tells the story of 39 million Americans of African descent. He has
rediscovered for an entire people a rich cultural heritage that ultimately
speaks to all races everywhere, for the story it tells is one of the most
eloquent testimonials ever written to the indomitability of the human spirit”.
Haley’s
memorial has him reading a story to young
children. What would he have told them about his history? What would he
have told them that they could learn from his? History is written not because
we would like to change it. We obviously cannot. History is written so that we
discover and learn the truth about our past and who we were and why we are the
way we are. And in learning those truths we hope to undertake a better journey
than the one in the past and retain the best from what our ancestors left us.
The “indomitability of the human spirit”
equally applies to Hindus and the other natives of this land (Sikhs, Jains,
Buddhists etc). It is probably the only race of people and culture that
murderous invaders couldn’t wipe out. That’s half the story. But when you have
crooks who constantly distort and lie about history and have been doing so
unchecked then your future is likely to be just as distorted and painful. That
is how India got here. That is what the Commies
were and are doing, as is the MSM that is infested with them. Nothing would
please the Commies and the Congis (and DMK types) for the Hindu identity to
completely disappear. Their consistent actions have proved that they would
rather have Yadavs, Brahmins, Rajputs, Ezhavas, Dalits, Jats, Gujjars,
Harijans, OBCs, Tribals etc. as identities rather than anything that is
remotely called “Hindu”.
In the
introduction to my book “Social Media as
watchdog” I wrote: “One of the biggest challenges
for students coming out of schools and colleges in India is not remembering
what they learnt but unlearning what they did. This is particularly true of
history courses. Much of our history taught in schools cannot exactly be
described as accurate. Designed as they were by left-leaning historians, the
courses use an abundant dose of imagination and distortion. Thus, students have
to learn true history and facts only outside of schools. The same experience is
true for the whole population when they encounter Mainstream Media”.
Till after
the 2007 elections in Gujarat I had no idea what caste or tribe Narendra Modi was
from. I didn’t know YSR Reddy, the late Andhra CM, was a Christian. Frankly, I
couldn’t have cared less. Guess who educated me? It was NDTV, CNN-IBN and other
similar channels that ran bios of Modi and educated me that he was an OBC, a Ghanchi
(supposedly the Barber clan). Was there any purpose to it? His victory hurt Barkha Dutt so much that she tagged all
Gujjus as “effete” people. Such
tagging is one of the most important features of the Commies. Anyone that
challenges their incestuous circle will be tagged with unthinkable names and
adjectives even if that person is holding evidence of unshakeable truth. Lavrentiy
Beria, Security Head under Stalin is
credited with the line “You bring me the
man, I’ll find you the crime”. To put it more bluntly, I love the James
Hadley Chase title: “You find him, I’ll
fix him”. They will negate everything about a person or an organisation.
They will manufacture crimes. RSS runs “Bomb-making”
factories! Ring a bell? Here’s something I’ve written before:
Negationism is defined as denial or distortion of historical
facts, especially those relating to crimes against humanity. Dr. Koenrad Elst, a Belgian, is a Hinduism scholar who has written much about this negationism
and concealing of Islamic record in India. Here’s what Elst has to say (Wiki): Historians of the Aligarh
school (e.g. Irfan Habib) or Indian Marxists (e.g. Romila Thapar) have resorted
to history-rewriting: "Therefore, in 1982 the National Council of
Educational Research and Training (NCERT) issued a directive for the rewriting of schoolbooks. Among
other things, it stipulated that: "Characterization of the medieval
period as a time of conflict between Hindus and Muslims is forbidden."
Under Marxist pressure, negationism has become India's official policy”.
It actually recommends dumbing down of students. Effectively, it meant the
horrors of Indian Islamic history must be hidden from our students. Students
who cared were able to get to the real history but our MSM still follows that
diktat. So is it a surprise that Muslim violence is covered up and mostly
turned into ‘victimhood’ or an Anti-Hindu rant? Did such a “cleansing” really
happen? Well, here are facts produced by Arun Shourie in Eminent Historians:
Under the CPM govt in
Bengal a circular dated 28 April, 1989 is issued by the West Bengal Secondary
Board. It is in Bengali, and carries the number "Syl/89/1" (For
Class-9. Here “Aushuddho” supposedly
means “impure” and “Shuddho” is
“cleanse” by alteration or by deletion)
Book
: Bharatvarsher Itihash, by Dr. Narendranath Bhattacharya, published by
Chakravarty & Son:
Page 89 : Aushuddho - "Sultan Mahmud used
force for widespread murder, loot, destruction and conversion."
Shuddho - "There was
widespread loot and destruction by Mahmud." That is, no reference to
killing, no reference to forcible conversions.
Page 89 : Aushuddho - "He looted valuables
worth 2 crore dirham from the Somnath temple and used the Shivling as a step
leading up to the masjid in Ghazni."
Shuddho - "Delete 'and used the
Shivling as a step leading up to the masjid in Ghazni.'"
Page 112 : Aushuddho -- "Hindu-Muslim relations
of the medieval ages is a very sensitive issue. The non- believers had to
embrace Islam or death."
Shuddho -- All matter on
pages 112-13 to be deleted.
Page 113 : Aushuddho - "According to Islamic
law non-Muslims will have to choose between death and Islam. Only the Hanafis
allow non-Muslims to pay jaziya in exchange for their lives."
Shuddho - Rewrite this as
follows : "By paying jaziya to Allauddin Khilji, Hindus could lead normal
lives." Moreover, all the subsequent sentences "Qazi...",
"Taimur's arrival in India..." to be deleted.
Page 113 : Aushuddho - "Mahmud was a believer
in the rule of Islam whose core was 'Either Islam or death'.
Shuddho -- Delete.
Mind you, what
I provided above is just a sample. You can go through the whole set of “cleansing” that the CPM’s education
board ordered at this page. What’s
the logic behind such cleansing other than killing history? If at all there is
some belief that kids may not be able to absorb such a violent history, which
is not a stated objective, then it’s better to choose a higher age when they
can be taught this rather than giving them half-truths. In reality, when kids
discover the truth at a later age they hold in contempt the schools which
taught them bogus history when it was neither the fault of the school nor the
teachers. The danger is, someday some Indian kid might grow up to write a book
like the one some American has written.
The root of
any good or bad ideological practice is usually found in the precedents set by
the founding fathers of a nation. India doesn’t really have founding fathers
except her Hindu culture. But post-independence some like to give that honour
to some people. MK Gandhi was called
the Father of the nation. Jawaharlal Nehru is often referred to as the ‘Architect
of modern India’. In his book on Negationism, Koenrad Elst recalls Nehru’s admiration for Mahmud
Ghaznavi
The
best-known propounder of negationism was certainly Jawarharlal Nehru… his
writings contain some crude cases of glorification of Muslim tyrants and
concealment or denial of their crimes. Witness his assessment of Mahmud
Ghaznavi, who, according to his chronicler Utbi, sang the praise of the temple
complex at Mathura and then immediately proceeded to destroy it. Nehru writes:
"Building interested Mahmud,
and he was much impressed by the city of Mathura near Delhi". About
this he wrote: "There are here
a thousand edifices as firm as the faith of the faithful; nor is it likely that
this city has attained its present condition but at the expense of many
millions of dinars, nor could such another be constructed under a period of 200
years." And
that is all: Nehru described the destroyer of Mathura as an admirer of Mathura,
apparently without noticing the gory sarcasm in Ghaznavi's eulogy. Moreover,
Nehru denied that Mahmud had committed his acts of destruction out of any
religious motive: "Mahmud was
not a religious man. He was a Mohammedan, but that was just by the way. He was
in the first place a soldier, and a brilliant soldier."
You will
hear the same nonsense that for much of the killings and brutality religion was not a motive. They would
like us to believe that the crazy guys just wanted to demonstrate their martial
skills. But MK Gandhi set the example of covering up and white-washing such
crimes. The Moplah murderers of Kerala and the Khilafat movement ended up killing
thousands of Hindus but what did MKG think about it? Here’s what:
“The Moplah revolt is a test for Hindus and Mussulmans. Can
Hindus friendship survive the strain put upon it? Can Mussulmans in the deepest
recesses of their hearts approve of the conduct of the Moplahs?.... The Hindus
must have the courage and the faith to feel that they can protect their
religion in spite of such fanatical eruptions.... The Mussulmans must naturally
feel the shame and humiliation of the Moplah conduct about forcible conversions
and looting, and they must work away so silently and effectively that such
things might become impossible even on the part of the most fanatical among
them. My belief is that the Hindus as a body have received the Moplah madness
with equanimity and that the cultured Mussulmans are sincerely sorry for the
Moplah’s perversion of the teachings of the Prophet.”
The article
I linked goes on to ask of Gandhi: He fails to state
the extent of Hindu losses once again. He believes that ‘Hindus have received
Moplah madness with equanimity’. How can you receive acts like ‘rape’,
‘murder’, ‘forcible conversions’ etc with ‘equanimity’? He states that cultured
Mussulmans are sincerely sorry for the acts. But our question is this: Did he
find out why this revolt was so inhuman and why it was committed in the name of
religion? Did he try to understand the Moplah point of view? Did he find out
why the anti-British agitation turned into ‘anti-Hindu’? The answer to all
these questions is a resounding ‘NO’.
In Kerala we
had a CPM politician openly declaring political murder was a natural practice of the party. MM Mani just gets suspended
for six months when he should have been in jail. What about the killings under
the CPM itself in Bengal? Here’s an interesting read that is fairly reliable
given the violent and criminal nature of Commie politics:
55000? That’s like one “Gujarat 2002” for every year of
CPM in Bengal, isn’t it? But which one gets the most noise in our media? To
avoid interpreting selectively I recommend reading the full story which is even more damning. Did you ever see such
an important story being discussed in any news channel or newspaper? Did you
see a debate anywhere? Stupid channels spend hours discussing a stray comment
of some Cleric called Madani but never in the last 20 years has any channel
discussed the crimes of the Commies. Why? Because they ARE the Commies! In quite a similar fashion our media also
“cleanses” the violence of Muslims whether it’s Deganga or over the 100 riots
in UP. They report it only when it becomes absolutely inevitable. The
Muzaffarnagar riots wouldn’t have been on air if not for a reporter being
killed. And for every single incident everywhere else the “Big Bindis” of the Commies come out crying and wailing. If they can
cleanse history from our schools they can also cleanse the truth from our news
media. No matter what happens, stick the “Convict” badge on the Hindu. No
matter what the terrorist act or killing, find
the Hindu and they will find his crime. Are sympathies of NDTV, CNN-IBN to
the murderous Commies a lot clearer? Is it also any surprise why NDTV loves
separatists? Lord Macaulay had a dream of creating English speaking
interpreters and intellects and most of them are the current day Commies.
Call Malini Parthasarthy a Commie and she
will be very offended. Most liars in the media don’t like to be called Commies.
They prefer the more stylish “fiberal”
tag. Her silly tweet is factually wrong but it still helps to explain why you
are a worthless piece of junk if you don’t speak English. The toiling villagers
and many Indians who can just speak their own dialect is a nuisance in their
lives. Educate yourselves on their expectations! If you think Lord Macaulay
didn’t finish his job then I have good news for you. He wanted a nation so
steeped in the English language and belief that Indians think very lowly of
themselves. Macaulay may have been buried in history but his dreams are alive.
At the very least Macaulay could admit that the backbone of India is her
spiritual and cultural heritage. What Macaulay couldn’t finish off, the Commies,
their historians and their counterparts in our MSM are desperately trying to
finish off. Stick a post-it on your TV screens or papers when you watch or read
them: “Shuddho: Poison”.
To be continued…
