India's communal riots -- the other kind of terrorism

In 2004, a US Department of State report concludes, and I quote; 'The leading party in the coalition [National Democratic Alliance (NDA)] was the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a Hindu nationalist party with links to Hindu extremist groups that have been implicated in violent acts against Christians and Muslims. Human rights groups and others also suggested that the Government’s inadequate response to acts of violence against religious minorities was due at least in part to links between extremist groups and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) during much of the period covered by this report.' Unquote.

More proof is in opening line of the 2007 Amensty International report on India and I quote, 'Perpetrators of past human rights violations continued to enjoy impunity.' Unquote.

Below is a few links to the work of Hindu extremist parties. These are not compilations of old stories but all from the recent past. The militant extremist Hindu parties go on, at will, under the patronage of their leaders in Dehli, to rape, kill and destroy -- anyone. Stories of Muslims being massacred through the modus operandi of riots is old news. Hence, I am just quoting very recent examples of Hindu extremists against Christians in India. Read on.

- Hindu extremists burn one nun alive, rape another
- Police gag order silences Sisters of Mother Teresa
- Orissa Christians treated worse than animals, says Father Bernard
- Orissa: no peace for Christians even in refugee camps
- Day of prayer and fasting for Christians in Orissa, together with Hindus and Muslims

Senior BJP leader L K Advani termed the rape of a nun in Orissa as a ‘shameful crime against humanity’ and denounced violence against Christians in the state and other places for which, Hindu extremist, Sangh Parivar outfits have been accused. Incidently, new evidence emerged on the 2002 Gujrat riots in the form of details of mobile phone calls made between those leading the attacks and politicians belonging to the then ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), a Hindu nationalist party.

Even Indian Army officers have been caught in the past for fabricating evidence to implicate Pakistan. In the 2007 AI report on India, it is mentioned that in April 2007, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) indicted five army officers for the extrajudicial killing of five villagers at Pathribal in March 2000. The officers were charged with fabricating evidence to support their claim that the men were foreign fighters killed in an “encounter” with security forces. The officers had earlier claimed that the men had killed 35 Sikhs at Chittisinghpora four days before the “encounter”. The plot to implicate Pakistan didn't end there. It simply thickened.

Anyway, amid mounting pressure [by 'in God we trust' and from elsewhere in the world of Euros] on the government to act against Bajrang Dal for anti-Christian violence in Orissa and some other states, Advani only talked about the need for restoring peace and a sense of security in the state through cooperation between the communities.

[No mention of any steps against Bajrang Dal to ban or prosecute it, so it did what was expected of it -Ed.]

After a meeting with a delegation of Christian leaders, he also favoured immediate initiation of a ‘sustained and sincere’ dialogue between Hindus and Christians.

[Note: No such thing for Muslims of India. Simply, tacit approval to set the extremist parties after minority Muslims]

This blog was intended to be an exhaustive account of secular India's extreme right wing Hindu umbrella group, ‘Sangh Parivar’ (SP) and the terror it engages in and gets away with -- communal riots. It tires me to see that the world cannot see what is so apparent -- the terror unleashed by Hindu right wing extremists.

America didn't see the financial crises coming or it chose not to. Instead, it saw 'weapons of mass destruction' when none was there. I can go on but this list will be endless. The West only sees a secular India, with world's biggest functioning democracy. There is more to 'Hindustan' than meets the eye. Hindustan minus the religious Hindu extremists is India. Otherwise, it is worse than Pakistan since there is no accountability or action of any kind of the Hindu extremist parties. India is a state sponsor of terrorism or else, it has to show that its hands are clean.

The riot-based terror is more methodical. The face is that of a unruly mob but schematic is very clinical and deliberate. The whole thing is built around an extremist Hindu party, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and members include parties like the RSS, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), and Bajrang Dal (BD, also known as the Monkey Brigade). Together they kill, loot and plunder -- at will. This is the kind of terrorism that is under the radar. In riots, emotions run high. Faceless mobs are blamed. Never the parties and its leaders who unleash it. It is time for the UN and the champions of human rights in the world to sit up and take notice.

And, India must rid itself of Hindustan, the state within, that sponsors terror on its own people. India must act. Now.
