Self-proclaimed intelligentsia attempt to eulogize terror, terrorists & their handlers do not hold water. It’s against basic grain of democracy!
Neha Dahiya / New Delhi
On April 19, self-claimed intellectual Arundhati Roy spoke on “Religious Nationalism, Dissent and the Battle between myth and history” in University of Texas at Austin.
Laced with false propaganda, inherent extreme bias, intellectual bankruptcy, hatred and many factual errors, Arundhati Roy seems particularly rattled by the current government’s firm stand on putting an end to decades-old nexus of anti-India forces, NGOs and terror groups.
In her speech, she relentlessly picked out the word, BJP, RSS and Prime Minister Narendra Modi depicting her obsession and self-constructed fear for the current Indian government.
Claims versus facts on RSS
Contrary to claims made by Arundhati Roy, whose links with terror outfits is well documented, RSS is neither fascist nor racist. RSS is the largest voluntary organisation that’s service oriented, inculcates patriotic spirit amongst the Hindus globally and pushes for sustainable development agenda for humanity rooted in ‘Sanatan dharma’, Indian civilizational values.
From providing education opportunities to millions of under-privileged kids to empowering girl children and women, RSS has been at forefront in bringing about fundamental shift in Indian society that got emancipated from the long British imperialist rule.
RSS human service during natural disasters either in India, US or Europe has been widely reported. From saving lives to providing succour, RSS volunteers had shown exemplary idealism especially during earthquakes, floods epidemics or hurricanes.
Completely ignoring RSS long track record of humanitarian approach to peoples’ problems, Arundhati making desperate attempt to label the organization ‘fascist’ has no basis.
In fact, Arundhati and her Leftist hooligans are the intolerant fascists that unleashed terror on patriotic RSS volunteers in states like Kerala and West Bengal. In these states, Marxist cadres supported and promoted by Arundhati Roy have murdered scores of RSS volunteers till date.
Yet another substantiated charge made by Arundhati Roy was that RSS is setting fire to the country and attacking both Christians and Muslims in Kashmir.
Militant cadres inspired by Mao Tse Tung including Arundhati Roy have played with fire and have blood on their hands in India. Arundhati Roy and her political principals are known to have provided weapons to innocent tribals in Jharkhand, Chattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh to create unrest and disturb peace in these states.
Self-proclaimed intellectuals like Arundhati Roy were known to have provided shelter to Left wing extremists as well as anti-India terror groups with a subversive agenda.
Arundhati says that RSS centennial celebrations in 2025 will be a watershed moment in Indian history. She’s right in a way. Rise of Hindutva inspired Indian society and people are bound to play a larger role on global stage. Be it environment, human rights to women’s empowerment, RSS and Hindus will make their mark internationally with classical civilizational values like ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbatam’ being the war cry. Turning the entire humanity into a larger family is what the likes of Arundhati Roy seem serious frightened about.
What’s wrong in exposing the opponents of RSS that came into being in 1925? One hundred years of eventful, non-profit work of RSS stands out through a bouquet of its organizations dedicated to prosperity and wellbeing of the humanity.
RSS rose like a phoenix after having been banned four times, thrice by the successive intolerant Congress regimes in India and once by the British rulers. These restrictions on a democratic, open and norms based organization, did not adversely impact the pace, progress and growth of RSS.
Manipulated data on Hindu festivals
What flummoxed most Hindus is Arundhati Roy’s concocted charges that they wielded swords and sticks against Muslims during the sacred festivals, Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti.
Each year, both Ram Navami and Muslim festival, Ramzan are celebrated more or less during same days leading to heightened tempers.
Her ranting that Hindus were the first to provoke and attack muslims in eleven cities during the Ram Navami and Hanuman Jayanti processions is not based on based facts but figment of fertile imagination.
In fact, on the ground in all eleven cities, it’s the peace-loving Hindus that were at the receiving end. Terror-linked Islamists urged and encouraged by the likes of Arundhati Roy attacked Hindus.
On April 16, 2022, Islamist miscreants attacked Hindus in Delhi from all sides, pelted stones, beat up both the devotees of Ram & Hanuman as well as security personnel. Seven Islamists that were apprehended by the Delhi Police have past record of gambling and murder related crimes. In fact the attackers seriously injured eight police personnel manning law and order apart from one civilian. Three firearms and five swords recovered from the accused debunk claims of those supporting the arsonists.
On April 11, 2022, in Khargone and Barwani of Madhya Pradesh, Islamists threw petrol bombs and stones on the procession and set many vehicles on fire. This incident has been given a different colour to suit the anti-Hindu and anti-India narrative peddled by Arundhati Roy and her comrades in arms.
On April 11, 2022, in Himmatnagar of Indian western state Gujarat, Islamist arsonists attacked Hindu devotees that were peacefully singing bhajans in praise of Lord Ram during Ram Navami procession. Islamists hurled stones at them. In yet another incident at khambat of Gujarat, Islamists set ablaze eight Hindu shops and pelted stones on the devotees procession.
At Lohardaga in Jharkhand, Islamists set ten bikes and one van belonging to Hindus on fire. In this violent attack that was perpetrated on April 10, 2022, one Hindu lost his life. Was this even taken cognisance of by Arundhati Roy and her proclaimed intellectuals gang working round the clock to push the wrong envelope?
On April 10, 2022, in Howrah, West Bengal, Islamists attacked around twenty Hindus including three policemen who were in a procession. Two days prior to this, Islamists cut the power supply by design to attack and pelt stones on the Hindus. They set two cars and a bike on fire as well.
In north-western state, Rajasthan’s town Karauli, a Hindu new year procession was attacked at Hatwara Bazar, a Muslim dominated area. The arsonists and their backers pelted stones at the procession and set vehicles and shops on fire. All these properties belonged to Hindus.
Instead of sharing these real stories of violent muslim mobs that got detained in some cases, Arundhati Roy and her ecosystem made a desperate attempt to play ‘genocide card’ that’s fake and far from truth.
Arundhati also said when Muslims responded their properties were bulldozed by the government or burned by mobs without trying to actually finding the fact of bulldozing. It was a routine anti-encroachment drive to demolish all encroachments which includes the accused structures. The drive was carried out under legal framework.
Is feeding lies, ultimate pass time?
Arundhati instigated people at Austin with claims of assaults on priests and nuns. In the process, she seems to have peddled a pre-scripted narrative by those funding her anti-India activities. Have a glance at reality on the ground.
In January 2022, a Hindu girl Lavanya was forced to end her life after her missionary school authorities gave her subdued treatment for not bowing down to their demand to convert to Christianity in the Indian southern state of Tamil Nadu. Was Lavanya not a child who had the right to practice religious faith of her choice?
In July 2021, Ranchi chapter of Missionaries of Charity, a congregation of Christian religious organisations, nuns Consalia and Anima Indwar from ‘Nirmal Hriday’ shelter home were arrested for selling three children and giving away the fourth. The first child was sold for £1200 and the other two for £500 each. Sister Consalia confessed to the crime before the police personnel. Should Indian government and Police sit mute bystanders to such crimes?
In July 2019, police arrested T.J. George for sexually abusing minor children in an orphanage at Kochi, in Indian southern state of Kerala. Seven children fled the orphanage and lodged a complaint with the police who took further penal action. Should such missionaries that abused the devout globally be allowed to operate in India?
In December 2017, seven Christian preachers were arrested in Mathura, a city in northern state of Uttar Pradesh for running a forcible conversion campaign. Villagers said that the missionaries were distributing Bible as precursor to forcing conversion of Hindus and those from other faiths. Since there was very little uptake of the Christian faith and the campaign did not gain much traction, the preachers launched violent attacks on a few low caste Hindu villagers and forced them to convert.
Ignoring these facts, Arundhati said that Churches were under attack in India.
Christian missionaries assign menial jobs to students and young children for proving their loyalty to the Lord. These include desecrating and urinating on Hindu Idols as touted process of completing the conversion process.
In Sagar district of central Indian state, Madhya Pradesh minor Hindu children were forced to consume beef and read the Bible. The incident happened at St. Francis Sevadham that touted to be a service centre for the poor. On complaint from a child’s father, National Commission for Protection of Children’s Rights (NCPCR) found that children were thrown out of the school as they refused to eat beef. Pork was served regularly to children in Sevadham, cattle were butchered inside the premises and some youngsters complained that their necks were choked when they refused to wear crosses.
Another big lie that Arundhati pushed was that Muslims were routinely accused of love jihad. Here are some of facts to the contrary.
On January 19, 2022, an incident of grooming jihad came light in Khandwa district of Madhya Pradesh. A muslim youngster Arbaaz, who pretended to be Vishal (a Hindu name) and his companion Sadiq reportedly gang-raped 15-year-old girl from nearby village Harsud after luring her into a relationship. The girl was forced to convert to Islam. The accused have been charged with sections including rape and sexual abuse by the Harsud police station.
In February 2021, 17-year-old Hindu girl named Neetu was brutally murdered with a hammer by her friend Layeek Khan aka Safeeq Khan as she refused his marriage proposal. The incident was of Begum Vihar area in Rohini, North West Delhi. Layeek Khan was a friend of Neetu for the past few years and constantly pushed her to marry him.
In October 2020, an 18-year-old boy named Rahul was brutally killed by five assailants Mohammad Afroz, Mohammad Raj and three others in Delhi’s Adarsh Nagar for being in a relationship with a Muslim girl. The girl’s family was against interfaith marriage.
In October 26, 2020, twenty year old girl named Nikita Tomar was shot dead in Faridabaad, northern sub-urban town bordering Delhi by Muslim man named Tausif for not accepting his marriage proposal. The girl in question had refused to accept Islam. Tausif and his friend Rehman tried to abduct Nikita and when she resisted, tausif pulled out his pistol and shot her.
Dress Jihad is yet another lie propagated by Arundhati and her ilk.
When six Muslim students in Udupi government school of Indian southern state Karnataka suddenly started wearing hijab in the classroom beginning in December 2021 all hell broke out. Flouting uniform code of the college was the issue. And, as per pre-planned propaganda, Islamists depicted this episode as ‘Hindu hatred’ to instil fear psychosis among Muslim minorities.
The girls were members of Campus Front of India (CFI),the notorious student wing of the radical Islamist outfit, Popular Front of India (PFI). While they had obeyed school uniform, sudden defiance and action by school authorities was projected as Muslim victimization as per a narrative pre-set by disruptive organizations. Karnataka High Court had restrained all students regardless of their religion or faith from wearing scarves or Hijab in the schools. Were these facts not pushed under the carpet and given a different twist to tout victimization of minorities?
Masking conspirators & criminals
There is a terrible trend these days of defending persons who are the masterminds of terror activities. Unfortunately, those masquerading as intellectuals have made attempts to legitimise these terror activities, individuals and organizations that were involved.
As per Arundhati, the police detained young scholar Umar Khalid for making a speech about brotherhood, love, and non-violence. Khurram Parvez documented stories of torture, forced disappearance, and death and GN Saibaba was summoned to protest against the CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act), for which he was imprisoned. If Arundhati was to be believed, all these people were innocent. The untold part of the story was the kind of conspiracy and crimes they were involved neck deep.
While hearing bail plea of Arundhati’s peacekeeper Umar Khalid, Delhi High Court said that he was accused of Delhi’s anti-Hindu riots, is hateful, provocative, and obnoxious. It should be noted that the bail plea of Khalid, the conspirator of the Delhi riots was rejected thrice since his arrest in September 2020. Khalid had publicly apologized for hanging of terrorist Afzal Guru who attacked Indian Parliament In an infamous statement he had said, “Afzal Hum Sharminda Hai, Tere Katil Zinda Hai” This is the same person who supports Hizbul terrorist Burhan Wani that raged a war against India. But, Arundhati gave Umar Khalid a peacenik label.
Contrary to what was said at Austin, GN Saibaba was suspended by Delhi University as he was deputy secretary of the banned organisation Revolutionary Democratic Front. He was arrested in 2014 for Left wing extremist naxalite and terrorist links. GN Saibaba was arrested for having links with groups that were thoroughly anti –India. His political beliefs are a matter of personal choice. But, he indulging in violence is a punishable offence. The court convicted him of criminal conspiracy and being a member of a terrorist organisation. He reportedly has links with Kashmiri separatist groups.
Khurram Parvez’s arrest irked the self-proclaimed intellectuals gang. Khurram Parvez that masqueraded as human rights activist was arrested under section 120B (party to criminal conspiracy), and section 121 (waging war against the state) and section 17 (giving money for terroristic act), section 18 (conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code.
He was also charged under section 18B (recruitment for commission of a terrorist act), section 30 (membership of a terrorist organization) and section 40 (offence to raise funds for a terrorist organization) of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) of India. As per evidence, arrest of Khurram Parvez was due to his links with Pakistan based terrorist outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba. His association Al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden or the Taliban for participating in the financing, planning, facilitating, preparing or perpetrating of acts or activities resulting in the brutal murders of thousands of innocent children, women and men worldwide.
Terrorists, their associates and supporters make no peace, liberty or bring about harmony among people.
