Where are we heading to? This sentence at the very outset may astound you a good deal. Well, before going to any further, let’s check out some readily available facts.

Ever since Islam stepped into the realm of Bengal, forceful conversion of Hindus has been one of the most preferred ploys of the Muslim zealots to make the whole community kowtow. Throughout the Muslim hegemony and 19th century, it was in full swing and gained new momentum with the onset of the 20th century backed by several doctrines. It has been unabated in both erstwhile East Pakistan and contemporary Bangladesh but the same malicious campaign is being witnessed in the Indian state of Bengal too, thanks to the tacit understanding between the pseudo-secular sections and Islamic fundamentalist forces and certainly the uncanny silence of the culpable democratic society.

What is more striking, even the Hon’ble Calcutta High Court, considered as the highest form of judiciary in the state, is corroborating the same spiteful intents. What else can be said if we look at the strange development of the case of Ms Anita Ray?

Ms Anita Ray (aged 15) and Shahidul got married only after she was misled by him. Anita, at the behest of Shahidul, ran from her paternal residence, got converted into Islam and married the venomous guy. Mr. Suvendu Ray (Anita’s father) got infuriated and with the help of police got hold of the estranged daughter only on 20th October, six days after the couple took flight.

Why are the Hindus being demolished in Bangladesh? There are a lot of reasons to that. The Muslims, the radical ones for sure and one that everyone suggests. But isn’t there anything else than that? Isn’t there problem with the Hindus themselves? Aren’t we giving up our land that every Hindu calls their land, India in the hands of Muslims? From the period of Akabar, we have not taken care of where we are currently staying but only caring about how we can manage our property.

Let’s look at that time period. Akbar had married Haraka Bai, a Hindu. She was Raja Bharmal’s daughter. Akbar persuaded both Bharmal and Rajput to take her. This was the turning point that everyone thinks is responsible for what happened afterwards. Now there was not much difference between the Hindus and the Muslims. She even changed her name to Mariam-uz-zamani to make herself look much more like a Muslim.

Now we could see that everything that ever happened in history has to have a beginning. Now where did this have the beginning of racial discrimination in South Asia? For me, I think that this started from here because she was never let to visit her father’s property and she had to stay in a outcast area, sometimes not even with her husband so that she could not make another problem in Akbar’s kingdom.

Mahatma Gandhi

We are all familiar with the name of Mahatma Gandhi. He is one of the most influential person in the world at this time period. He has been the father of a country that is well remembered as a country of secularism. The religion that is in that country is viewed differently than that is in the other countries. The part of his way to solve the country and the problems that followed were taken differently and solved differently. He is currently remembered as one of the most influential man in the South Asia because no one followed his rule and the concept like he did other ways.

He wrote a autobiography to encourage others to the way to fight these problems without any other harm to the others or without using any violence. His autobiography can be listed here: http://www.nalanda.nitc.ac.in/resources/english/etext-project/biography/gandhi/

From this we hope that other world leaders will learn and fight using non-violence. That is why it is encouraged to read this book and learn from this.

This has been sort of “decided” that Pakistani Islamic terrorist were behind this attack with the help of Muslim terrorists and Islamic extremists right on India. For instance, the SIM cards that were found has trail to Kolkata. Since Kolkata, is right beside Bangladesh, it is very much possible that Bangladeshi Islamic extremists might be involved as well.

Anyways, a friend from youtube requested me to feature his rebuttal on the  BS theories going around regarding 26/11 attack. Enjoy…

Indian Muslims Burning Indian Flag

Albert Einstein once said “The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don’t do anything about it.” What happened in Mumbai in the closing days of November 2008 was evil. The terrorists who planned and financed it were evil. The terrorists who carried it out were evil. And the terrorists who provided tactical and other support were evil. That should surprise no one. People long have known the depths of depravity to which radical Islam is capable of sinking. Have they not given us ample evidence?

 Just since the September 11, 2001 bombings that killed over 3000 Americans, radical Islamists have carried out over 11,000 terror attacks worldwide. While they were not the first to use suicide bombers or hijack airplanes, Islamists carried both to new heights as their principle weapons of terror. They have blown up schools and students, driven busses into crowds of people, set off terror bombs on public transportation and elsewhere in dozens of countries throughout Asia and Europe. Their leaders openly call for genocide against Jews and Hindus, and their followers are trying to carry out those calls. Wherever they have had the power to do so, they deliberately destroy religious shrines and houses of worship and brag about it as step in destroying other faiths or variants of Islam. And then they have the gall to claim that these things were done because they were angry at some perceived offense, frustrated at their current living conditions, or defending their own warped conception of human rights. So, while terrible, are the events that unfolded in ten locations across Mumbai anything new or surprising? Did the terrorists do anything they have not promised us they would do?

The tragedy is that these events could have been prevented. Radical Islam has been warning the rest of us that it means to re-make our planet in its own image and kill anybody that threatens to stand in its way. Its practitioners have vowed repeatedly to destroy India as an abomination against Islam; yet its leaders act as if they were only kidding. Despite the country experiencing almost non-stop Islamist attacks, the ruling Congress Party maintains a strict policy of non-confrontation with home-grown Muslims who support the radical organizations. It recently showed far more zeal in prosecuting an alleged “Hindu terrorist” after a bomb went off in a predominantly Muslim town. The accused Hindu priest was interrogated several times, despite the fact that her only tie to the bombing was a car used in the attack, which 38 year-old Sadhwi Pragya Singh Thakur had sold years before. In a policy of appeasement similar to Britain’s (which was also a target in the Mumbai attacks), that same government deliberately refrains from identifying terrorists as Muslim.

Indian Hindus often complain that the government is not carrying out its mandate of secularism but practices a “pseudo-secularism” that bends over backwards to favor minorities even if it means heaping disabilities on Hinduism or Hindus. Its recently-passed budget contained millions in subsidies for Muslims to go on the Hajj to Mecca and pilgrimages to Jerusalem; but not a penny for the numerous but uncounted Hindu refugees from Islamist ethnic cleansing in Bangladesh. Other groups are agitating because the government took possession of Hindu temples but refuses to maintain them.

A few days back, someone named “Allah Ke Bande” left a horrible comment against Hindus in general. I didn’t make a big deal out of this because I wanted people to realize the impact of Islamic Extremism that the world needs to encounter.

Allah Ke Bande, I made this video specifically for you. The background song is by Kailash Kher.

This is the time for us to reflect on the deaths and victims of Islamic extremism that people need to encounter on a daily basis. This is just one attack but for thousands of years, Hindus, Christians and Jews have to live with these types of radicalism from Islam. The funniest thing is that killing innocent people actually has been working for the Muslim extremists. The world population is not doing enough to end this extremism.

I said before and I am saying again. Certain aspects of Islam has problems and Muslims need to clarify those aspects. If Muslims don’t clarify the positions on Islam then more hatred will arise on the Muslims themselves.

Mumbai again becomes the victim of a terrorist attack. However, this time it is much serious. I am pretty sure because of the extensive coverage by CNN and other media we all know what happened. A bunch of terrorists decided to go crazy with their guns and kill innocent people.

This is not the first time India is facing these types of attacks. The problem is that India is not doing anything to make the nation safe(r) for its citizens. Every time there is an attack, we see Indian government going ahead and condemning the attacks and playing thier same boring record, “terrorism has no religion.” This is getting annoying now.

Muslim Jihadi Terrorism

If you are not willing to do anything about it then you will continue to face the wrath of Islamic terrorists. The US was like that too before 9/11. Now, they hyped up their security and they can figure out possible terrorist plots before they take place. For instance, today, the Feds figured out that NY trains would be targetted by Islamic terrorists. 

India just doesn’t have the technology or initiatives currently to carry out such a fast action as the americans. That’s why India needs to have an alliance with Israel and the US to destroy Muslim terrorism.

The Southern part of Asia today really deserves a break from all these Islamic fundamentalism and extremism. We are sick and tired of Hindus, Christians and Buddhists getting killed, tortoured and discriminated in Bangladesh & Pakistan. India is the nation that has the financial and military capability to take initiative in reducing Islamic terrorism. 

Muslims also need to come forward and redefine Islam and terrorism to the world. Not all Muslims are terrorists but 95% terrorists are Muslims. People that’s why do question Islam. Muslims need to look into their communities and their interpretations to see what is going wrong. We, the outsiders can always analyze whatever but the real change has to become within the Muslim communities.

Richard Benkin

We are delighted to welcome Dr. Richard L. Benkin to our site. Through personal email discussions, I found Dr. Benkin to be most considerate when it comes down to helping the Hindus of Bangladesh. He has been to Bangladesh and India several times involving human rights issues.

He was also the champion behind the lobby of getting Shoaib Chowdhury released from jail. Mr. Chowdhury, a journalist from Bangladesh was arrested for advocating peace between Islam and Judaism. Dr. Benkin has worked on many projects alongside Mr. Chowdhury and therefore has crucial knowledge on where minorities face hardships, including property rights, rape, assault, cultural genocide etc.

I would like you to check out his site Interfaith Strength. He started this site to encourage understanding between different faiths and encourage discussion of human rights violations.

He is planning to visit India soon to lobby for human rights for Bangladeshi Hindus. We strongly appreciate his goal and honest approach. We would like to request everyone to donate to Dr. Benkin’s cause. The information on how to help him in his journey will be posted soon. However,  even $1 donation would be a great start and you can help him to help our people in Bangladesh.

Bomb Attack on Assam

There we go again. Another attack on India. This time it was on Assam. The Indian government has been really weak when it comes to combating terrorism. We would hope that after hundreds of attacks by Islamic terrorists on India, they would really take some measures to prevent it. However, thanks to minority appeasement and pseudo secularism they really haven’t done anything. We have seen over and over again the Indian media going after police administration when they arrest anyone who is a Muslim for terrorism charges. Now the Indian police administration feels reluctant to arrest a Muslim without 150% proof because otherwise they have to face constant backlash from the biased media.

One thing we have to understand here. Not all Muslims are terrorists. However, all the Islamist terrorists are Muslims. Therefore, when we are looking for suspects it makes sense to focus on the radical Islamic communities rather than wasting time on others.

Assam has a problem of illegal mass Muslim migration from Bangladesh. A lot of these Muslims are poor and need desperate support. The radical Islamic organizations then come ahead with a false sense of support and recruit these people into terrorism activities. There has been instances where the local Assamese and Bangladeshi illegal immigrants have clashed against each other. India seriously needs to look into this migration issue.

I would like to take this time to wish everyone a very Happy Diwali. May your wish and prayers come into reality.

This has really been annoying me the last few weeks. Don’t get me wrong, I have been a minority all my life. The place where I grew up, I was the only Hindu in the whole area. I understand the minority issues and strive for equality more than anyone else.

At the end of the day, everyone wants peace. This will happen when there is a mutual understanding between the groups. However, for political and votebank reasons the Indian media has been really alienating the Hindu group. If this continues more disturbances and mistrust will arise among the population.

Whenever there is a terrorist attack carried out by Islamist radical organizations, the Indian media always downplays the incidence and uses ambiguous terms such as “anti-Indians” or “disoriented youths” etc. However, whenever there is a remote chance of any Hindu involvement on anything, they don’t hesitate to point out the Hindu involvement

How many terrorist attacks have taken place in India that have been carried out by Islamist organizations? In the last 3 months there has been at least one attack each month. The government hasn’t done a single thing but the media such as IBN and others jumped on the boat of calling Indians intolerant and that they are wrong in calling terrorists “Islamists.” They also point fingers at BJP for calling Islamist terrorists, “Islamist terrorist.” Are you serious?

Sagarika Ghost of IBN even blamed BJP for protesting against legalizing SIMI. This is a democracy for God’s sake. We are allowed to protest against whatever we like. Legalizing SIMI had no impact whatsoever. This was an ideological battle defeated in India by the pro-peace and pro-democracy people.

I am sick and tired of these types of double standards in the media. My friend, this is called “pseuedo secularism” not at all “secularism.”

That’s why blogging becomes so freaking important. This gives us a voice to fight back against the media. Whenever there is an article in the Indian media acting all “psuedo-secularizing”, we see 10-15 comments neutralizing that article. This is what we need…taking full advantage of Web 2.0. Neutralizing the media.

This is also a trend in the US/Canada. Web 2.0 is a huge force. A lot of people tend to learn and believe a lot from the web interactions rather than what is implied in the media. Therefore, Indians need to get this started. More bloggers need to enter into the arena. The internet is becoming a big force in India and as a result we saw the Indian government banning blogspot.com a few years back.

An effective blogging community can bring about changes and raise awareness in the community. The PC myth needs to stop! Appeasement needs to stop!
