AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL SECULARISTS.

The answer to your moribund question is how can something die when it was still born in the first place? First, the country is partitioned through pressure exerted by the so-called minority who should be called the "second majority" as they are far above the mandatory 10 % of the Indian population. This is a unique happening as nowhere else in the world's history has the minority been able the arm twist the majority to cede huge tracts of its territory due to communal and religious incompatibility professed by the second majority. Like a festering wound this is what has laid the foundation stone of India's pseudo-secularism which is passed off as genuine secularism by the rootless Left leaning liberals who keep reminding us that the Indian state is supposed to be colour blind. Add to that the Central Budget assisted blatant 50 % subsidy to Muslims for annual Haj and pilgrimage tax on Hindus visiting the Amarnath caves or anywhere else.

Muslims can take four wives under a warped legal system and a Kashmiri woman loses her Kashmiri citizenship (sic) if she marries an Indian from another state. But if a Pakistani woman marries a Kashmiri male she becomes an Indian citizen who can own land in J&K which no other Indian citizen can do. What is the message? That Article 370 underscores the fact that J&K is not yet fully integrated into the Indian Union like the other states!

The Muslims as minorities have many rights in India whereas the Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley (Wadi) have been rendered homeless in their own country having been a minority in J&K! Obviously, the minority status is selectively applied in India to the advantage of Muslim only.

Narendra Modi is Lucifer if less than a thousand Muslims die in Gujarat in retaliation to Godhra riots started by the Muslims first but Rajiv Gandhi deserves all our sympathies having lost his mother even if he had commissioned through his goons the pogrom against Sikhs which saw 3000 of them being set on fire on the streets of Delhi. Heads I win and tails I lose in favour of Muslims- EVERY TIME- that includes not touching the father son duo of Imam Bukharis of Jama Masjid despite over 10 arrest warrants each for sedition and contempt of court charges against them! And you are nosing around for a whiff of genuine secularism in an environment reeking of a fetid stink of sham secularism?

When one starts from an erroneous point in a journey or road map he is hardly expected to reach the correct destination unless there is a course correction along the way after the blinkers have fortuitously fallen off. Otherwise, one will fail every time. That is what the last more than 60 years has taught us that despite this much hyped Indian brand of secularism things are as bad as they were in 1947 on the Hindu Muslim question-the only deleterious change being that the Muslims in India today far outnumber their coreligionists across the border. Not a sign that they are a persecuted race by any stretch of imagination and more so if you consider that more than 20 million (and counting) Bangladeshi infiltrators-not refugees-have brazenly crossed over to settle down in India replicating Hitler's doctrine of Lebensraum adding to our burden.

India's family planning slogan of "Hum Do Hamare Do" has been drowned out by the more potent "Lekin Bangladesh se aney do" in both word and deed. The unique IMDT Act that is applicable only in Assam the most devastated state through relentless influx from across the porous border put the onus of proving an infiltrator to be so on the accuser and not the intruder. The person who single-handedly contributed to this unpardonable crime of inundating the entire Northeast then called Assam with a sea of rejected humanity from East Pakistan was later made the President of India who later repaid with gratitude the favour to Indira Gandhi by rubber stamping her demand for clamping the Emergency in 1975. It is worth recalling once more that it was the Muslims themselves who had wanted a separate country for themselves to be carved out of India the very country where they were now sneaking in by droves for permanent residence.

One has to have an independent and relentlessly inquiring mind shorn of any mentoring by those regurgitating discarded and spurious theories of a bygone era no matter how iconic they may appear to us or well intentioned and rational sounding they may be in their ignorance. One has to cut a lonely furrow even inviting ridicule or even persecution if required in order to arrive at the truth when all past theories and pious intentions have miserably failed. History has relentlessly taught us that the majority is rarely ever right and that only the seers were on course even though they had to face persecution during their contemporary times. History is replete with "rowing against the current" characters like Galileo, Copernicus or Socrates who were ahead of their times.

Recently, through an open letter the VHP has really caught the Indian Mullahs on the wrong foot and the cat is now out of the bag when it asked them to openly declare that they put the country above all else and that Hindus were not Kafirs. There is an identical reply from each of the recipient Mullahs which means they had panicked sensing a trap and had consulted each other before reacting to VHP's letter publicly. How can they say that the idol worshiper is not a kafir? How can they deny that the world is divided into Darul Islam & Darul Harab? How can they accept that all gods are one (bedrock of Indian secularism?) when they are reminded to believe differently five times a day over loudspeakers blaring an intolerant dictum from mosques which reinforces that there is only one god and that is Allah which all Indians have to put up with merely in order to prop up Bharat's tattered and lifeless concept of secularism?

How does one expect the average Hindu to react when an anti-God Marxist regime in Kerala takes over management of all his temples in the state, leaving all mosques and other Muslims shrines of profit (including liberal donations from the oil rich Gulf ) alone and pays a monthly pension of Rs. 4000 per month to all retired moulavis of madrassahs from the collections from the hundis of Hindu Devastanam Boards when similar largesse is denied to Hindu archakas from whose temples the money has been collected in the first place? Unless these questions can be honestly answered and corrective steps taken to usher in genuine secularism, this sellout to the vote bank exerting block will make matters worse all around including the concept of secularism itself which only a Hindu majority can ensure. We know that this very secularism that many of us blandly swear by was the first casualty when Pakistan was created as a Muslim El Dorado where Hindus were in insignificant numbers. No change even in Bangladesh when it was delivered with India playing the midwife. No different in the Indian Kashmir Valley where Muslims enjoy a brute majority that is even more glaring than Pakistan or Bangladesh ever since it had been ethnically cleansed after the Pandits had been chased out from there or killed.

Therefore, how can our Muslims declare that Ram and Rahim are one? Ishwar and Allah is tero naam? How can they glorify India when they refuse to sing Bande Mataram our national song? How can they deny that jihad is a must for the faithful as described in all their holy books from which militants accurately quote chapter and verse repeatedly? How can they deny by issuing a Fatwa that what the militants are doing are not as per their religion even though the choice exists to avoid following such tenets as done by the moderate majority?

Because if they follow the VHP's suggestions they will become redundant and useless to pseudo-secular political parties who depend on them to divert the block votes of the “aggrieved” faithful into the ballot boxes in their favour? Being a male dominated faith where women have a marginal role, the Taliban are admired by many in India even if they do not openly admit it. They know it well that if you have government support then the minority can also behave like the majority and this gives them the aggressiveness being shown all the time where an appeasing government is in power. Since Gujarat was an exception to this rule many are against an electorally (and democratically) successful Narendra Modi, mostly the pseudo-Hindus who march to an alien drum beat. The real danger to the millennium old unbroken idea of India lies lurking within sporadic fanatical movements at times bubbling to the surface within the larger Hindu psyche that wishes to replicate the clout of the mollycoddled Mullahs having government and political patronage for wielding power unto themselves by an identical and time tested route. And for that eventual catastrophe it will be our pseudo-secular and left leaning liberals who will be solely to blame.
