Say what?

Apologies for my long absence! I was busy moving to new place and then I went on a vacation for all most a month. I tried to write couple of ideas but couldn’t finish them properly. Plus the issue I was trying to raise was changing so fast that it would even beat chameleon. So let’s get back to the business.


Allegedly, a Sadhvi – Female Hindu monk, planned to bomb innocent Muslims. What’s worse is that she got few army personnel and a sitting MP involved in her plot. They planted a small bomb in Malegaon - a historically riot ravaged town. Prior to bombing they formed an organization that has same name as the one founded (and still existing) by freedom fighter V.D. Savarkar. And if we go by cop’s account then all these people are not only connected to RSS, VHP and Bajarang Dal but also to BJP. So in one shot the ruling party (with a useless prime-minister at its helm) succeeded in defaming every Hindu organization as well as the opposition party in India. The only hindrance is that there is no proof to any of these theories. Even after doing NARCO tests (they conducted NARCO tests three times. Unprecedented by any account) and brutally beating army personnel cops got nothing to show except for a stolen bike. The special unit established to fight terrorists Anti Terrorism Squad (ATS) is so politically motivated that in desperation they even tried to connect Sadhvi and others in another bomb blast that happened couple of years ago. Unfortunately, cops have already apprehended the master-minds of that blast. but without any evidence or any provable theory or without ever lodging these people under strenuous anti-terrorism laws, ATS even refused to grant them access to their lawyers. The list of ‘terrorist acts’ by ATS just continues.


If the crime has really been committed by these folks then they should be punished. But even the circumstantial evidence is a joke. The blasts when they occurred were reported to be crude in nature. Nothing fancy or sophisticated but now suddenly ATS is saying that the blasts were RDX! The somersault is too much to stomach even for die-hard secularists.


In the mean time Media - the so called torchbearer of secularism in India are having fields day. They are all over the place trying to come up with non-sense news headlines as well as gravity defying theories. The best wacko-theory I liked is that when NARCO tests proved inconclusive, media started saying that with her meditation power Sadhvi is defying NARCO tests! Well, if she would have just disappeared in thin air before getting caught. (For the crime she did not commit) This kind of reporting is comically dark but the news agencies, most of them funded by foreign organizations, are pretty serious in their objective of slander anything and everything Hindu. And for that they can go to any extent. During this whole drama there were huge bomb-blasts in Assam. The responsibility was promptly taken by an obscure Islamic Jehadi group based in Bangladesh. More than 50 people lost their lives and yet the whole incidence was out of news waves within 24 hours. I mean seriously there was no news about the blasts or about the victims or the perpetrators. As if nothing of that sort ever happened.


With this ploy the anti-national forces compromising politicians, pinko-secularist as well as Media finally managed to attack the most revered institution in India – the Indian Army. Even Pakistani army couldn’t do that in last sixty years. Muslims in Kashmir as well as Pakistanis have habit of accusing Indian army of orchestrating riots as well as bombings in Pakistan and in Kashmir. Now they can happily point to the army personnel falsely accused in Malegaon blasts as a proof to their propaganda. Moreover, with Islamic terror on rampage throughout the world, secularists finally got stick of ‘Hindu terror’ to beat Hindus. So for every bomb blasts that will happen in India from this point onwards, these secularists will always point out that terror has no religion and Hindus are terrorists too. I am not sure where this buck stops. The zeal of politicians and media to convict the accused without a fair trial or without any shred of evidence is worrisome. Even if we consider this whole drama is being played for general election due mid next year, what’s frightening is the extent to which these politicians (and media) is ready to sell our countries future for their electoral ambition. It’s depressing beyond words.

p.s. – as I was hammering keyboard to vent my frustration extraordinary events are underway in Mumbai. Instead of planting bombs, so old school, terrorists are creating havoc a’la Hollywood style. Firing indiscriminately and throwing hand-grenades, this terrorist coming out party is heralding a bloody future.
