The Hindu Exodus Within India
(Internally displaced persons)
Dr T.H.Chowdary*
The exodus of Hindus from a western UP town Kairana is hitting headlines. The Hindu majority populations 40 years ago has been reduced to a mere 8% by now.
2. This creeping exodus did not draw the attention or send any alarm to any Hindu organisation. Much less the government of UP. In fact, how would it cause alarm when the mass expulsion of 400,000 Hindu Pandits from Kashmir was effected in one go in early 1990s – is not causing any concern? Since then those pundits are living as refugees in their own country in Delhi, Jammu and such places.
3. During the Sonia Maino Gandhi led UPA governments, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh launched the Muslim First programs of development in 92 districts identified by Js Sachar Committee as Muslim districts requiring special development. More than Rs. 1 lakh cr has been spent upon these districts for the development of Muslims - nowhere in India such attention had been paid to Dalits or STs; there were no SC First or ST First programs but only Muslim First programs.
4. Muslim majority districts were carved out - Malappuram in Kerala and Mewat in Haryana. It would be interesting to know what was the population in these two districts before they were carved out as Muslim districts and now. From these districts also Hindu families have been moving out.
5. Kerala had a 67% Hindu population in 1951. It is now 52%. Assam’s Muslim population was 17.62% in 1951 it went upto 35% now and in West Bengal it has gone up from 19.85% in 1951 to 27.01% now .
6. The Murshidabad (67%) , Malda (52%) and North Dinajpur are clearly Muslim majority districts. In the Hyderabad city and in Delhi there are Muslim majority areas, where no Hindu can get elected and it is only the successors to the Muslim League and the Rajakars are getting elected to the local legislature, municipalities and to the Parliament. It is quite clear that Pakistaniat which has been identified as the DNA of Muslim by Dr B.R Ambedkar is fully at work. The slogan of the Musilm League before 1947 “Ladake lenge Pakistan - Haske lenge Hindustan” is being slowly realised. The proportion of Muslim population in India as a whole has gone up by 50% from 10% in 1951 to more than 15% by now. Many mini Pakistans are coming up within India How is this coming about?
7. Jawaharlal Nehru had little support among the Congress men. It was Sardar Patel who had the entire Congress organisation with him. In 1945 when a successor to Abul Kalam Azad was to be elected as Congress President only one Pradesh Congress Committee proposed Jawaharlal Nehru’s name, one proposed Kripalani’s name and the rest, more than 20 proposed Sardar Patel’s name. The belief then was that whosoever would be the president of the Congress would be the Prime Minister of independent India. Gandhiji asked Sardar Patel to step down in favour of Nehru. The reason Nehru would never agree to be a second in the government. He would rather leave the Congress and together with socialists and communists might wreck the Congress. Sardar Patel stepped down for the third time in favour of Jawaharlal Nehru as President of the Congress. After independence, Nehru wanted to build up support in the Congress. He invited Muslims to join the Congress and 90% of them joined Congress. Only in Kerala the erstwhile Muslim League renamed itself as Indian Union Muslim League. Sardar Patel invited the RSS and the Hindu Maha Sabha people to join the Congress . They did not join. They rather liked to have their own party, the Bharatiya Jana Sangh which later to became the Bharateeya Janata party.
8. Sardar Patel died in December 1950. In the first general elections in 1952 to the provincial and to the Parliament Jawaharlal Nehru’s Congress struck an alliance with the Muslim legislatures League in Kerala. Nehru went on bashing the recently founded Jana Sangh although it did not exist in any South and East. He never spoke against the communists who then emerging as a considerable force.
9.Since then the Congress has gradually become a party of the minorities that is of Muslims and since the leadership of Sonia Maino (Gandhi) of Christians also. Today the Congress is more or less a party of Muslims and Christians and some communists who had infiltrated into Congress and go by the name of “secularists: and left liberals, all of whom have been for the last eighty years anti-Hindu. Under the patronage of the Congress and communists, Muslims in India have become as strident and divisive as they were before 1947. In the border states Assam and Bengal and to some extent Bihar, there has been facilitated infiltration of Bangladeshi Muslims estimated to be about 30 mln by now. Rohingyas (Muslims of Bangladesh origin, coming out of Myanmar are sheltered by their co-religionists in Hyderabad and Delhi etc.)
10. If the Congress party continues to be a party of minorities and communists in West Bengal and regional parties in other states increasingly appease minorities for their votes, the integrated India that Sardar Patel created, would gradually disintegrate; a fear that Dr.Ambedkar poignantly expressed in his November 1949 speech in the Constituent Assembly. This peril of ninety two districts and some more emerging as mini Pakistan is will overwhelm us. The BJP must have a strategy and tactics immediately implemented in order to avert this danger. The word, minority has become a sacred cow. Minority Commission, Minority Welfare Department, Minority Representation , Minority Educational Institutions are all disruptive of our nation –hood. Who is the majority? When there are more than 4000 castes and they are manipulated to range against one another and the identity as Hindu is at an increasing discount, it is fool -hardy to talk of Hindu majority. The talk of minority and majority should be given up as every caste is a minority and there is no collective concept of Hindus like Muslims and Christians are having. While the constitutional bodies in respect of minorities may not be easily abolished, right away, Minority Welfare Departments and Minority Finance Corporations should be done away with. There should be only welfare departments which will look after all the disadvantaged Indians and not by their communal names, Christian and Muslim and so on. (1,063 words)
