United Minorities Rule Over Divided Majority
There has been a steady decline in the quality of all India leadership especially with the ascendance of the Nehru dynasty for whom keeping power at any cost has become the supreme objective. Very sadly, the Indian National Congress of hallowed memory has been proprietarised that is, it has become the property of the Nehru Dynasty direct and indirect. Every congressman in every state has come to look to the Dynasty for power, for survival and for advancement. Those who got suffocated and could not become so servile had either floated regional parties or joined other parties . The National Congress Party of Sarad Pawar, the Trinamul Congress of Mamta Benerjee, Haryana Vikas party and so on are splinters of the Congress. Some may hold their own but others are becoming seasonal. In such a situation, very powerful regional and caste-based parties have emerged to challenge the Congress Party which is wedded to the Dynasty. In Tamilnadu, it is the two Dravidian parties which are dominant and chief contestants for power. In Andhra Pradesh it is the Telugu Desam Party, in Orissa it is (Biju) Patnaik’s, in Haryana, it is the Indian National Lok Dal, in Uttar Pradesh it is Mulayam Sing Yadav’s Samajwadi Party; in Bihar it is Lallo Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal, etc. All these are also proprietary in the sense that there is a supreme commander who has got the money as well as organisational power to sustain the local conglomerate of castes.
The BJP was founded by the great patriot, Sri Syamaprasad Mukherjee in 1950 to take on Jaaharlal Nehru’s Congress which has betrayed the nation by agreeing to the partition, then leaving the Hindus and Sikhs both in Punjab in West Pakistan and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) to fend for themselves at the last moment. Shyama Prasad noted with sadness that while the Hindus and Buddhists were being thrown to the wolves in East Pakistan and had been totally ethnically cleansed from West Pakistan, Nehru was coopting the divisionist, two-nation theory Muslim League numbers into the Congress to strengthen him in relation to the nationalists like Sardar Patel, Purushottam Das Tandon, J B Kripalani etc. In the general elections of 1952, Nehru-led Congress even struck an alliance with the Muslim League (Jinnah mentored and led) in Kerala. The Congress has thus in Nehru’s time itself had become captive to the interests and sentiments of Muslims. That is why its standard phrase all the time has been care of “minorities ( a cover word for Muslims in India) . SC, ST, weaker sections and women”, a most populist and most divisive slogan. The Congress party has come to set some of these sections permanently against the national main stream. As the Congress Party was becoming weaker due to splits like those engineered by Indira Gandhi in 1969, and then again in 1976 it has come to depend more and more upon communists and their fellow travellers. In fact, some of the communists had, by intention and deliberate plan joined the Indira Congress to subvert it from within and bend it to the communist purposes. They had been able to get the Jawaharlal Nerhu University established not to teach engineering or technology or science but only political “science” and history which in their view should be according to the Marxist mould. They were also helped to infiltrate into many universities and the academia. The damage has been immense in that patriotism, nationalism true history of Indian resistance to foreign invasions etc., had all been distorted to manufacture and invent frictions like composite culture, secularism, non-communal Moslem rule, banditry and insurgency and insubordination by Hindu-Sikh Chieftains like Shivaji, Gobind Singh etc.
The BJP rose out of the Janata Dal ( which indeed was a Jhagada dal) which was forged by all the non-Congress parties coming together to defeat Indira’s Congress in 1977 elections. The Jhagada Dal broke up because of the Himalayan ambitions and egos of several leaders and some of them easily falling prey to the viles of the Congress. The farmer Janasangh elements in the Jhagada Dal had regrouped themselves into the BJP. Sri Atal Behari Vajpayee in near-repudiation of what Syama Prasad Mukherjee , Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya, Sri Balraj Madhok and such thinkers defined as the goal, talked of “Gandhian socialism” and “secularism”, both of which are pale imitations of the Congress party itself. The disaster was soon enough by way of the BJP getting just two seats in the 1980 Lok Sabha elections. The death of Indira Gandhi and the rise of the former pilot son of hers as the Prime Minster and Congress leader further weakened the moral fibre of the Congress . Embroiled in unbridled corruption and appeasement of the minorities (the Shabano case) the Congress was defeated in the 1989 elections by Sri V.P.Singh who even proved to be more unscrupulous and not very dissimilar to his forbear, Jaichand (who in his enmity to Pruthvi Raj Chauhan joined the Islamic invader, Mohammed Ghori) brought in the Mandal reservation scheme and courted imam Bukhari, an Islamist for continuing in power. It was not only Congress that was splintered but with this phenomenon of V.P Singh a Jaichand successor, the Hindu society was heading to be totally splintered by the issue of reservations for backward classes. Had he succeeded, he would have introduced reservations for Muslims also in his insatiable hunger for their votes. (read how Jawaharlal Nehru was also conceding reservations to Muslims a companion article, in this issue, as recorded by Sri N.V. Gadgil)
In order to arrest the splintering of the Hindu society into feuding and waring castes Sri L K Advani conceived the grand idea of uniting the people around one of the most emotive issues namely the Ram Mandir in Ram Janmasthan in Ayodhya. Historically the fact is that it was not the BJP which projected the Ram Janmabhoomi issue in politics. It was Rajiv Gandhi who in order to provide compensatory (Sha Bano episode for Muslims) appeasement to Hindus, opened the locks of the Ram Lalla Madir in Ayodhya just before his campaign for the 1989 elections)
In these last five years the Congress has become even more proprietary, leadership of an Italian -born hardly educated interlocker. It is now no more than a regional party. The cast -based parties in the states are more powerful that the Congress anywhere. It is insignificant in Bengal, Bihar, UP, Kerala and Tamilnadu . In other states it has to battle with the BJP and the TDP and the NCP. The BJP, although committed to pan-Indian nationalism based upon our culture and heritage finds it very difficult to unite the caste-ridden Hindu communities even when the threat to all these communities is staring in the face .
Indian communists had never been true and reverent to this country’s history, heritage and civilisation and are ideologically inimical to Hinduism and believe that it is the faith of the people in the Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) the faith that was so strong that it resisted herein the many centuries-long Muslim dominance that is coming in the way of Communist take-over of the country. They believe concluded that unless Hinduism is and weakened and destroyed and Hindu people are divided with strife they can never hope to bring in communist rule in this country. Communists are a permanent minority but very clever. They may be splintered into nearly a score of parties and war groups but their common aim is the destruction of Hinduism and the imposition of a totalitarian one party rule. This they can never achieve in a democratic way and so they have to infiltrate and subvert other parties . Their mortal enemy is the BJP because it believes in strong nationalism and is ideologically anti-communist.
Islamists have never given up their belief in and commitment to their transnational umma and that they are not part of the Indian nation . One third of India has already been claimed by them and is converted into the intolerant, exclusivist anti-Hindu Islamic states of Pakistan and Bangladesh. They had not emigrated to the states of their creations. They are furiously engaged in increasing their population . Their proportion has already gone up by 50% in the 50 years since Independence. They are the only community, unlike Sikhs or Parsis which is led it by their religious leaders to vote in a block to defeat any party or candidate which talks of Indian nationalism and patriotism and India as a Punya Bhoomi . They are not interested in a well integrated India . They and the communists together constantly assert that India has many cultures, scores of languages, that the variety is immense and so emphasise division rather uniting culture and civilisational heritage. There can be no strong emotionally uniting commonality which can invoke heroes, sages and saints who are common to all the people. They emphasise divisive, separatist and disintegrating forces. Both the Muslims Leaguers residues and communists are in league with a third variety of Indians; that is, who are the products of English education as envisaged by Macaulay (in blood and colour only Indians, but in views, in preferences, in outlook they are totally un-Indian). They are also a minority .
All these varieties of minorities are whipping up minorityism in a constituent of Hindu society, namely Harijans and the STs. They propagate that Harijans and Adivasis were never Hindus but that Hindus were trying to Hinduise them and leave them as labourers. They would like to coopt these people also into anti-Hindu. Indian front. Thus these minorities of Muslims, Christians and communists are uniting in order to defeat and rule-over destroy the majority. That is how we find India ruled by a super-Prime Minister who is not of this country and Chief Ministers, Justices etc., from minorities. The ruling in coalition in the Center is that of is minorities who are least Indian or rather only in colour and blood Indian but un-Indian in many aspects. They would see that India would head for not one second division but for several divisions. The 130 Parliamentary constituencies which have been identified as subject to Muslim will in any election are being cultivated by all the parties for their votes . Of course BJP will never succeed in getting Muslims’ votes because when Gandhi- Nehru -Azad failed it is worse than a dream for them to hope to get Moslem votes whatever be the price they may offer.
New district will be carved out to create Muslim majority units just like Mallapuram in Kerala and Satyamevajayate in Haryana . Soon there after they will ask for more autonomy and then for a federation of minority, that is Muslim districts in India. If you could give autonomy to the Muslism majority Kashmir, why can’t you give it to us they ask our communists and Congressmen and the regional parties will accept their demand, in the hope of votes. This is the prospect that stares in the face of India. The great Sardar Patel integrated over 600 so called autonomous and independent states of Nawabs and Maharajas into the great Republic of India. And now we see the disintegrating habit of the Dynasty Congress itself in full force to undo India’s unity and integrity. What is necessary for patriotic people to ponder is how do we overcome this unfolding prospect of united minorities ruling over the divided majority. It is as well to remember the great wisdom in the following words:
How shall freedom be defended? By arms when it is attacked by arms; by truth when it is attacked by lies; by democratic faith when it is attacked by authoritarian dogma. Always and in the final act, by determination and faith. – Archibald Macleish, a Poet
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a small chance of survival. There may even be a worse case: you may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
-Winston Churchill
People of Hindustan, the inheritors of and believers in our country’s great philophic, cultural and scientific and intellectual heritage must wake up to the war being imposed on them by fundamentalist, intolerant, exclusivist, political ideology and religious faiths and defeat them before it is too late.
