One Country - Two Sets of Rules - 1

One Country Two Set of Rules

India sends $ 25 million Aid to Pakistan - through UN as demanded by Pakis - which will be utilized to kill even more Kaafirs (non Muslims) in India.

Just a few km away from the Rashtrapati Bhawan, 3 camps of Kashmiri Pandits continue to run in tents for FOURTEEN years. As of date there are 100, 000 Kashmiri Pandits living as refugees in their own country. Sri Sri raises this point in this video.




But, as our respected Dr. MM Singh explains in the perfect definition of Congressi secularism,

"Muslims must have the first claim on nation's resources"
(http://ibnlive.in.com/news/pms-priority-muslim-development/28055-3.html).

Surely, in India, the biggest crime is of being a Hindu.

So, the Congress govt. buys toilet rolls for Rs. 4200 per roll while spending 30, 000 crores on CWG. Kashmiri Pandits are mad dogs meant to be killed. They deserve no budget.

Jai Ho !!!!

The real issue in Jammu & Kashmir

ARNAB RAY

This article is from the September 2010 issue of Pragati - The Indian National Interest Review.

Arnab Ray is the author of “May I Hebb Your Attention Pliss.” (HarperCollins) and blogs at greatbong.net

There has been a slew of pro-Azaadi, anti-India articles in the Indian mainstream press recently. One fine specimen of mediahood proudly recounted how he became a stone-thrower for a day, pointing out quite pointedly that the only thing that saved him was the Hindustan Times staff card, with the emphasis being on the sub-string Hindu. Of all these marvelous bits of journalism, with their objectivity and integrity misaals in their own right, my favorite piece is by one M F Husain, who tells us how he left India for its lack of freedom. Yes, and presumably found it in Qatar, an Islamic theocracy where freedom of all religions other than Islam is severely restricted and where apostasy (leaving Islam) is technically punishable by death.

To castigate India for being “not free” while being a voluntary citizen of Qatar is the height of hypocrisy.

Anyhow, this article is not about M F Husain. Nor is it about the way forward in Kashmir nor whether trying to bribe the local population with money will work. Nor about the draconian Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) which I believe needs to be repealed, for the armed forces have to be made accountable in civilian contexts like everyone else. Nor indeed about the recent violence per se.

It is about the Kashmiri ‘fighting for independence against the wicked Indian state.’ thing that we see repeated ad nauseum not just from Pakistan but also in the Indian mainstream media.

My first beef is with the word ‘independence’.

Historically independence struggles have been fought against foreign powers, those who have taken control over a piece of territory for the purpose of economic exploitation. It has also been fought between peoples of the same nation, like the Bangladesh independence struggle where a section of the population that has attained power (Punjabi Muslims) treats another ethnic or linguistic community (in this case Bangali Muslims) as second class citizens, systematically annihilating and depriving them of their most basic rights.

In the case of India’s Jammu & Kashmir state, none of this is true. India does not economically exploit Kashmir. On the contrary it spends a massive amount on the state trying to buy the loyalty of the population.

Even the New York Times, which last time I looked wasn’t a right wing newspaper, says: “The dirty little secret of Srinagar, the heart of the movement to secede from India, is that many of its residents live quite well on the Indian government’s money”.

At the very least, no one can accuse the Indian government of taking anything out of the state. It is, of course, true that a lot of the development money lands up in wrong hands (that happens everywhere in India) but there are far more deprived areas of India that have no ‘freedom struggles.’ As to the rights of Kashmiri people, they have privileges over property ownership that very few Indian citizens outside Kashmir have, making them super-citizens rather than inferior ones.

So none of the traditional characteristics of freedom struggles hold here. However, it is true that Kashmiris are fighting. But for independence. They are fighting to establish a theocratic Islamic shariyat state, aligned with or as an intrinsic part of Pakistan, where “independence” is defined somewhat as it is defined in Qatar, with subjugated status for minorities, and where the establishment of liberty, equality and fraternity—the ideals of any freedom struggle —is farthest from the minds of the stone-throwers and those that support them.

Sure, one can say, “So what? If they want to establish an Islamic state, that’s their decision. What right does the Indian government have to interfere.”

This brings us to my second bone of contention—the word “Kashmiri”. 

Like “independence” this too, in this context, is a false word. A better more honest descriptor would be “Kashmiri Sunni Muslims”. There was a time when Kashmiris meant both Hindus and Muslims, but then the Kashmiri Hindus were killed and driven out of the state by ‘Kashmiris’. 


Since these Hindus (as well as people in Jammu and Ladakh) are not part of the ‘freedom struggle’ it is not fair to use the word Kashmiri to refer to the agitators, who, since they use Islam as their reason for wanting independence and identify themselves solely by their religious orientation, should also not object to being called what they actually are — Kashmiri Sunni Muslims.

The question should now be framed as: “So what is wrong in letting Kashmiri Sunni Muslims, after they have driven out the large section of the minorities, from establishing an “Islam is the answer”, “independent”, non-democratic state ? Their free will — they shall do as they like”.

If tomorrow the majority in Jat-land start an armed struggle to establish an autonomous Khap-istan where castiest lynchings, dowry and child marriage are legal, and where intercaste marriage implies death and retributive rape, would you call that an “independence” struggle and say that India should just let them have their way and not have the army fight them? 

If the day after tomorrow, if Gujarat decides that it wants to throw out its Muslim minorities and establish a Hindu theocratic Dhokla-land will the same Indians who post “Stop illegal military occupation of Kashmir by terrorist-state India” on Facebook also support the rights of Gujarati Hindus to choose how they wish to be governed because that’s what the ‘Gujarati’ majority wants?

I think I know the answer.

So please Sirs and Madams, do protest against the Indian state and the Indian Army and sign petitions and protest outside the United Nations while drinking Starbucks and discussing EB2 Green Card priority dates. Do whatever you want to do but please, for the sake of truth of labelling, please drop the “independence struggle” from the description, and qualify the word “Kashmiri” with what should come after it.

Of course, if you do so, then the romance and the liberal “feel good” of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with an independence movement will be gone. Hurling stones at the Indian Army would be seen not as an act of supreme passion and justified frustration but as an act of war against the Indian state, something I believe which there are laws against.

Which is why you won’t do it.

Kashmir's only Jain Temple destroyed

"Azadi" demanding "secularists" following the "Religion of Peace" destroy Kashmir Valley's Jain temple.

Hindu temples already finished and converted into rubble.

Sikhs asked to leave valley.

"Azadi" demanding "Secularists" who have "the first right over India's resources" (as decreed by Dr. MM Singh) continue to give their tough love to all the Kaafirs, infidels and non "secularists".

Today Kashmir, Tomorrow WB / Assam / Mallapuram (northern Kerala), Day after Tomorrow your and my homes and our children.

Jai Ho !!!

Only Jain temple in Valley destroyed Submitted by Vikas on Sun, 08/22/2010 - 22:58. Hemali Chhapia & Mansi Choksi | TNN  Mumbai: Two years ago,a family from Mumbai built a temple in the lap of snow-capped mountains miles away in Srinagar. The derasar (temple),carved out of teak,decked with marigolds and installed with three idols of Jain tirthankars,was set up for the thousands of Jains who streamed into the volatile region every holiday season. But last Saturday,the only Jain temple in the Kashmir Valley was burnt down by a mob. It is now ground zero.There is nothing left,nothing to go back to, says Jyotin Doshi, Chairman of Gem, a travel agency in south Mumbai whose family built the temple. A shaken-up Doshi recalls speaking to the priest, the lone caretaker of the temple,on the night the violence erupted. There was curfew in the valley but he noticed people gathering outside the temple, he says. The priest,who is disturbed and has now returned to his village near Lucknow, quickly gathered the three idols,which were sculpted out of panchdhatu (an alloy of gold, silver, copper, iron and zinc), and hid them in a hotel room. And exactly three hours later, the mob struck and destroyed whatever we had built, says Doshi. Two members of Doshis team from Mumbai, Apurva Bhansali and Jiten Dharod, flew to Srinagar the next day when the curfew was lifted. They packed the idols in cardboard boxes and flew to Sabarmati in Gujarat. Before the two had reached, the news had spread in Sabarmati. When the idols were installed in Chintamani Parshwanath derasar there,there were more than 14,000 people who came for darshan, he says. The idols,that has been taken to safety,were built in Kalikund in Dholka, Gujarat. Doshi says that his family set up the temple to realize his 68-year-old mothers dream.  http://lite.epaper.timesofindia.com/mobile.aspx?article=yes&pageid=18&edlabel=CAP&mydateHid=21-08-2010&pubname=&edname=&articleid=Ar01803&format=&publabel=TOI

One Nation - Two Sets of Rule

Article 370 of the Indian Constitution


This article specifies that except for Defence, Foreign Affairs, Finance and Communications,(matters specified in the instrument of accession) the Indian Parliament needs the State Government's concurrence for applying all other laws. Thus the state's residents have lived under a separate set of laws, including those related to citizenship, ownership of property, and fundamental rights, as compared to other Indians.


The BJP is today the only political party in the country which holds that Article 370 of the Constitution, which confers a special status on Jammu and Kashmir state, ought to be scrapped.


Dr. Shyama Prasad Mookherjee, the then president of Jan Sangh, was brutally murdered in police by the Sheikh Abdullah's police for opposing Article 370.


But then, as Hindus, we must ALWAYS show restraint.

Let Us Remember- The Day when Islamic Jihadis Killed Hindus in Kashmir

I got this as email from a friend in Panun Kashmir, the group working to get Kahsmiri Hindus their homeland

This is a fight of every Hindu, not just Kashmiri Hindus. The Congress / National Conference / PDP regime is no different than that of Aurangzeb - where Hindus are publicly killed and raped.

If you would like to contribute to this cause in any way (time / effort / money / mobilization / media), please mail me at tatra.yatra@gmail.com and I shall forward to the relevant people at Panun Kashmir.

Kashmir : Times have Changed, Issues are Different - Article by Tavleen Singh

Times have Changed, Issues are Different

Tavleen Singh

There was a time when it seemed as if a solution in Kashmir could bring peace with Pakistan. That time has gone. The Taliban now have a grander plan for the subcontinent.

The average Indian is so bored with Kashmir these days that I always hesitate to raise the subject in a column. If I do this week it is because a meeting took place in Delhi that has to go down as one of the most extraordinary in recent times. It was organized by social activist Madhu Kishwar under the auspices of the Centre for the Studies of Developing Societies, on November 7, and I went along because she invited a glittering array of politicians from Kashmir. I have not been to Srinagar in more than five years and thought the meeting could be a good way to revive my interest in a subject I once wrote a book on.

Among those who came to the meeting in the library of the Nehru Memorial were Mehbooba Mufti, Muzzafar Baig who was Deputy Chief Minister in the last government, Mohammad Sufi Uri from the National Conference, Professor Abdul Ghani Butt from the Hurriyat and Yasin Malik from the Jammu & Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF). The meeting was chaired by Ram Jethmalani and attended by journalists, academics, Kashmir activists and sundry others. It was a full house.

Madhu, an eager beaver peacenik as ever was, began the day’s discussions by emphasizing loudly and often that we were gathered together to find solutions. Despite this, things got off to an interminably dull start because Mr Uri from the National Conference made a long, boring speech that was full of historical grievances that everyone present was more than familiar with.

Muzaffar Baig took over from him and was more interesting because he offered a solution. He said that Kashmir’s borders needed to be made irrelevant as Dr Manmohan Singh has himself often promised. Instead of redrawing maps there should be a softening of the borders so that Kashmiris, Pakistanis and Indians could come and go freely and there should be ‘‘dual currency’’.

In view of what is happening in Afghanistan and Pakistan, this suggestion seemed so naively oblivious of geo-political realities that I went up to him when he finished speaking and asked if he had heard of the Taliban. Was he aware that this group of Islamist jihadis was close to threatening the existence of Pakistan and Afghanistan? How long would it take the Taliban to conquer Kashmir if Indian troops were withdrawn? He laughed sheepishly.

In any case the meeting carried on peacefully and in a dull sort of way until the late afternoon when it came to Yasin Malik’s turn to speak. I had not seen him in many years and was impressed to see him look dapper and elegant in a black, velvet jacket and a black and white polka-dotted shirt instead of the drab, Kashmiri clothes he usually wears. He looked more like an urbane Srinagar businessman than the terrorist he once was, but he was not allowed to forget his past. No sooner did he rise to speak than the meeting deteriorated into chaos. The hall was filled with insults hurled at him by a group of young Kashmir Pandits who till then had sat silent and unnoticed.

‘‘We will not allow this monster to speak,’’ they yelled, ‘‘ask him who raped and killed Sarla Bhatt? Ask him how many Hindus he has killed? He is a terrorist. He has no right to be here.’’

They said other things as well, angry, ugly things, and they made so much noise as they stood up and shouted their abuse that the meeting was totally disrupted for several minutes. Yasin Malik was infuriated and ready to leave. It was only after many entreaties from Madhu and Mr Jethmalani that he agreed to speak. But then Mr Jethmalani put his foot into it by saying that he himself loved Pakistan more than Pakistanis loved Pakistan and that all Indians should develop a similar love for Pakistan.

Then he added there would have been no militancy in Kashmir at all if the 1987 elections had not been rigged to coincide unfortunately with a large number of mujahideen in Afghanistan suddenly becoming ‘‘unemployed’’ because the Soviet Union withdrew its troops.

Yasin Malik decided to pick this up as the starting point of his speech. He said, ‘‘I was shocked to hear Jethmalani Sahib say what he did. I was the one who started the armed struggle in Kashmir and I was neither Afghan nor unemployed. I picked up the gun because it seemed there was nothing else to do. We had tried peaceful means to achieve azaadi and failed.’’

He then gave details of how the JKLF was among the groups that had set up the Muslim United Front to contest the Assembly elections in 1987. ‘‘We contested the elections because we thought that if we won we would declare Kashmir independent through a resolution in the Assembly but they were not prepared to give us our basic democratic rights. So we had no recourse but to pick up the gun.’’

He added that he had given up violence because he was persuaded by the ‘‘Indian civil society’’ that solutions could come peacefully. He felt betrayed, he said, because he now knew that all the Indian civil society could do was talk.

The Kashmiri Pundits were not going to take that lying down even if the panelists were, and they started yelling that the armed struggle had never ended. What about the Hizb-ul-Mujahideen? Who were they? And who were the other militant groups that continued to kill innocent people in Kashmir?

In the end there was more rancour and rage than debate, and the solution to our Kashmir problem remained as elusive as ever. Sitting next to me at one point was General Lakhvinder Singh, a hero of the Kargil war, and I asked him if he thought that there was any chance of reducing the deployment of Indian troops in Kashmir. He said, ‘‘We’ve tried it. And wherever we have reduced deployment we have seen an immediate increase in militant activities. It is not as easy as these politicians make it sound.’’

It is not easy at all because it is clear to many of us who have followed the Kashmir story carefully for many, many years that the problem has changed. There was a time when it seemed as if a solution in Kashmir could bring peace with Pakistan. That time has gone.

Kashmir’s struggle for so-called azaadi has been subsumed by the worldwide jihad. The Taliban have a grander plan for the Indian subcontinent. They want to conquer Islamabad, and when that is done they want the flag of Islam to fly over India.

Rape As a weapon of Intimidation - Mass Rapes to break the society

Read this article at the New York Times about the brutality of Mass Rape as a weapon in civil war.

As I read the article, tears came to my eyes.

This is what our Hindu sisters and mothers have faced for 1, 000 years of Islamic presence in India.

This is what Hindu women face today in Bangladesh and Pakistan and where ever else we are Kaafirs (non believers).

This is how Hindus have been pushed out of Kashmir. By inflicting murder and rape.

The cost of not converting / not becoming a Muslim is so high. And yet, they persist. And remain Hindu.

Do you realize now, why, Hindu women preferred to commit "jauhar", jump in fire, jump in well, ask their husbands / brothers to kill them, whatever..................

BUT

Not allow a Muslim to touch them.

You have to visit Chittor Fort in Rajasthan and see where thousands of Hindu women lit a huge fire and jumped into the fire.

Death before Dishonour.

Death by sword of husband / brother is only once. Death after rape by Muslims was every moment.

What are WE doing for Hindu sisters in Pakistan and Bangladesh and Kashmir ??

When Arundhati Roy visited the Delhi University campus on February 13, she was greeted with a slipper thrown by student group Youth Unity for Vibrant Action (YUVA). The slipper was auctioned for Rs 101, 000 at Jantar Mantar on Thursday.

"When Arundhati Roy came to our campus, a member named Asif Kumar threw his slipper at her to protest her statement that Kashmir should be given to Pakistan. Her statement is against our national interest," said Jairam Pandey, national convenor, YUVA.

The slipper was bought by businessman Amitabh Kumar.

"I was in Connaught Place for a meeting, when I went for a walk to Jantar Mantar after lunch. There I saw a demonstration by YUVA activists, who were auctioning the slipper" he said.

Interesting on Kashmir

I got this as a forward.


Enjoy !!

An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly that made the world community smile.

A representative from India began: 'Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Rishi Kashyap of Kashmir, after whom Kashmir is named.

When he struck a rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a good opportunity to have a bath.'

He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water.

When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A Pakistani had stolen them.

The Pakistani representative jumped up furiously and shouted, 'What are you talking about? The Pakistanis weren't there then.'

The Indian representative smiled and said, 'And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech.'

And they say Kashmir belongs to them………………………………………..
