Lynching is the game changer in New India Coercion as a means of terror

Lynching is the game changer in New India Coercion as a means of terror The lynching of Tabrez Ansari was by means of threat and violence perpetrated with utter impunity for hours at end, nay, for days together. This is the darkest hour in the history of India which marks a departure of Narendra Modi from the first term as PM since he remained silent in most of such cases instead of condemning. It heralds the worst for the minorities. The miracle is that Tabrez survived to illustrate this fact four days and then died. Sure sign of phenomenalism. The realities and facts of today undoubtedly point it, coercion, a form of terrorism. Such is the power and efficacy of the second Reich of Modi that the remains of the cause of terror travelled to Japan within the week of his junket. Such inveterate is our PM that as CM of Gujarat he could ask the police to not come in the way of RSS, HVP, ABVP and let Hindus vent their anger in 2002. Those who revealed the truth of it, Haren Pandya and Sanjiv Bhat, met their end at his hand. Dissent is the crying need of today if we want our democracy to thrive and not throttled. What matters to him is that the Diaspora in 2002 was with him and now in Japan they encore him. ‘Jai Shri Ram.’ ‘Vande Matrum.’ The first slogan was never uttered with the same ferocity then. The second is in praise of India as a mother goddess, which Muslim refuse to utter because of idolatry. That is how the juggernaut of dividing India continues. But what is painful is that those who lynched Tabrez coerced him to utter such slogans umpteen times, ad absurdum. When he was in jail after two days the main accused Papu Mandal went there and asked in surprise:‘Ab tak yeh mara kyon nahin? [why did he not die till now?]’ The wife of Tabrez and his mother in law were also there whom the police threatened that they would break their knees if they did not go out. (1) The young widow passed out at the sight of her husband. It is strange that only the crime of theft is registered but not of attack on the victim and his death! They forced him to chant against his will. This is part of the definition of terror and then they left him as a living mummy that amounts to lynching and essentially terrorism. He died on account of the torture. The police aggravated the condition by not paying attention to the serious condition. There are no reasons to believe that a man could have done thieving hardly a month after marriage. He had a job of a welder in Pune and was visiting his village for Id festival. He was to return back to Pune soon to resume his work. This is not a “cut and paste” allegation of terror, as the Jharkhand minister would like us to believe. It is sheer terror. It has put on notice the minorities that they are at the mercy of the majority Hindus. When Menahem Begin and his groups of terrorists bombed Hotel David in Jerusalem they had put the imperialist British on notice that their days were over and Israel would be created. Despite of the gravity of the lynching of the week Modi went to G20 meeting in Japan. He spoke succinctly on the global threat of terrorism on June 28. Terrorism is the greatest threat to humanity. It kills not only innocent people but also has most disastrous effect on economic opportunity and poses threat to social stability and to remove it, we have to close all the means that support communalism and extremism. This is a sham statement because he and his right wing groups and party do not believe what he is pontificating there. What is rampant in India is precisely due to him: communalism and extremism. Tabrez’s lynching is the living proof of it. If it cannot change the game then it is hunting with the hounds and playing with the hare. But can he play until kingdom come! The world is a large stage and he cannot strut and fret forever Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Transforming terrorism into lynching

Transforming of terrorism into Lynching Sadhvi Pragyasingh Habitual criminal or a spiritual descendant Pragyasingh Thakur tried to pass off at the oath taking ceremony in the Parliament that she is of a divine descent. She repeated the name of the seer whose spiritual progeny she claims she is. However the name of her biological parent is there recorded by the returning officer. "I...Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur Poorn Chetnand Avdheshanand Giri". It was in Surat that Pragyasingh Thakur had bought LML Freedom two wheeler from Siddhi Agencies. A bomb was fitted on it that blew up killing 7 and injuring nearly a hundred people in Bhiku chowk of Malegaon on September 29, 2008. From his ATS office at Kala chowki in Mumbai Hemant Karkare asked Sadhvi Pragyasing in Indore to present herself for investigation. When questioned she also named Lt Col Prasad Purohit.. The arrest of the army man followed after hers. As she ‘sang’ more, more arrests followed, of retired Major Ramesh Upadhay, Sudhakar Pandey etc. These accused are booked along with Sadhvi Pragya under various sections of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) and the Indian Penal Code (IPC). The charges include sections 16 (committing terrorist act) and 18 (conspiring to commit terrorist act) of the UAPA and sections 120 (b) (criminal conspiracy), 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), 324 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 153 (a) (promoting enmity between two religious groups) of the IPC. The accused have also been charged under relevant sections of the Explosive Substances Act. Can she claim divine origin to escape the law of the land? In fact one such accused is Dayanand Pandey (originally hailed from Kanpur) who also takes the title of Shankaracharya of a peeth in Jammu. His denouement can be summed up as a rake’s progress. When Hemant Karkare opened his laptop there was a bonanza of sexual exploits with reputed ladies of society. He resembles Narayan Apte who never missed an opportunity to womanize girls and women and on the last night in Mumbai before murdering Mahatma Gandhi he slept with the daughter of the police commissioner of the metropolis. A man is known by the company he keeps, the same for the woman. Nathuram Godse hated women as did VD Savarkar. Comrades in conspiracy and crimes and arms have their sex innuendos as the one that the writers of Freedom at Midnight mention in their book. “At the age of twenty eight, Godse had finally taken the ancient Hindu vow whose observance had so concerned and troubled Gandhi that of the Brahmancharya, the voluntary renunciation of sex in all its forms. He apparently remained faithful to it for the rest of his life. Before taking it he had only one known sexual relationship. It was homosexual. His partner was his mentor, Veer Savarkar.” (p. 423) This is truly an allusive and oblique remark or hint, typically a suggestive or disparaging one. This much sociology throws enough light on the signs of times we are living through. The kind of people we revere as patriot. Those who shed blood of the innocent by exploding bombs must remember that Godse could not bear the sight of blood. A boy was injured in traffic. Godse was at the wheel of Naryanan Apte’s Ford car. The people wanted to take the injured to hospital. Godse told them to put him in the back seat so that he could not see blood or else he would have migraine. Once he had it and was admitted to hospital. In the morning he woke up and was stunned by the nurses who wanted to attend on him. He just snatched the bed sheet, covered himself with it and ran out of the hospital! Sadhvi Pragya who was puzzled that so few were killed in the Bhiku chowk blast of 2008 is like Lady Macbeth who had wished to dash and kill her husband Macbeth as a babe in her arms. Some women are violent by nature and wish more sanguinary results through violence. It is ironic that the sadhvi revered Godse as a patriot what else is the dictum of Dr Samuel Johnson that holds the truth even today, patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel. Quite ironically it is Muslims who are suspect in the eyes of the majority as unpatriotic and have to suffer most. The murderers of Joshi were also those who had burnt the Best Bakery in Baroda and taken part in the pogroms against Muslim in Gujarat 2002. In the aftermath of death of Sunil Joshi Muslims were killed in a most heart rending manner. Rasheed Shah(68) was hacked to death, his son Jalil was killed when the 5 accused RSS workers had burnt the house. Two more brothers of the victim were shot and injured on December 30 2007, the day of the strike to protest the assassination of Joshi. This Sutarkheda fury was visited upon the Muslims who had nothing to do with the murder of Joshi.. The death of Joshi was foretold in the manner of the novel of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s The Death Foretold. The innocent Muslims who were killed in bomb blasts in 2006 and 2008 also had their death foretold. The killers were the same and Swami Asimanand had foretold the death of Sunil Joshi. He had cautioned him about Indresh Kumar. There is now a new angle of flatly denying the knowledge of what transpired at Bhiku chowk in 2008. The lead was taken by Sadhvi and followed by others. That the Muslim crowd manipulated the event needs scrutiny or else there will be subversion of justice in open defiance. The police were there even a probationary officer of high rank Viresh Prabhu was only feet away from the spot of explosion. In the resultant stone pelting he received serious injuries to his head and was rushed away to NN Wadia hospital. The police around resorted to shooting at the angry protesters. Their anger was aroused because the police and leaders around had tried to pacify the irate mob that it was only a gas cylinder that had exploded. Just around sunset Ramji Kalsangra and Sandeep Dange brought Sadhvi’s vehicle into the Bhiku chowk, the lady police did not allow them to move towards Anjuman chowk. They parked the vehicle just below the office of SIMI and in front of the transport agency office. After sometimes the owner of the agency called the police to remove it. The police came, saw it but refused to touch. People gathered there and volunteered to move it away but it was locked and there was no one near it. At 9.30 the bomb went off. Coincidentally another such bomb went off in a crowded place in Modasa, Gujarat. At the same time 17 bombs were recovered from Kalupur of Ahmadabad. All these happened by design. These incidents on the eve of festivity of Id are a larger conspiracy to kill Muslims and throw blame on them. But then happened Karkare. Being main accused the Sadhvi is cause of violence and main instigator. Apart from this she also stabbed a man Shailendra Devagan in the chest. That is what Chattisgarh CM Bhupesch Baghel said when her brother had a quarrel with the victim. According to the supplementary chargesheet of NIA the conspiracy was hatched fifteen days before by Lokesh Sharma and Rajendra Chaudhary in close meeting with Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur. Giving details of the role of Pragya, the chargesheet says that on the day of the murder, "Pragya was present at Koti Chandi Yagya Dussehra ground at Indore." She stayed at Indore from December 25, 2007 to January 5, 2008. The primary motive behind the murder of Joshi according to chargesheet appears to be sexual advances made by Joshi against Pragya, which did not go down well with Lokesh and Rajender who treated Pragya as sister. There were explosives and bomb making material which were later handed over to Ramji Kalsangra. 1 There were also others, a leader of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha) and Balbir Singh. A sixth accused, Dilip Jagtap, has turned an approver. Like Joshi, Sadhvi knew too much. 2 People of questionable behavior cannot monopolize patriotism. Their moves are deep rooted and libidinous. If psychoanalyzed the energy of sexual drive is a component of the life instinct. They are berserk with anger and excitement and frenzy and do the irrational that is not in the real interest of the nation. Or else what would they achieve by insane acts? The most tragic part is that such people reinforce the siege within which sets one group against another. In such a situation the Trojan horse which RSS boss Mohan Bhagwat lauds is destructive. It is the most beautiful woman whom Zeus chooses and avoids war is and not the Trojan horse that is wanted. In the aftermath of the murder of Sunil Josh those who came to ravage the houses of Muslims were members of the RSS. The chief of the Satsang was Rasheed Shah who was at ease with the Hindu neighbours and friendly. The RSS did not like it. He told his wife "Yeh apne yaar dost hi honge jo milne aaye hain." (These are mere chummies of ours who have to come for confab.) But they not only hacked Rasheed(86) to death but burnt alive his son Jalil whose dying statement led to the arrest of Joshi’s murderers who were his own [Josh’s] men and lived with him. Two other sons were shot at. Only a girl of 5 years survived the devastation. Malegaon 2008was even more destructive. But the worst has morphed into something rich and strange. It is a Hindu jihad against kleptomania. What else it is if suspected Muslim thieves like Tabrez Ansari in Jharkhand are beaten for seven hours at a stretch and dumped in prison to die! The attackers forced him to chant Jai Shri Ram and Jai Hanuman. This a day after the USCIRF report castigating India for precisely this! Why have we still slept over the transmogrification of terrorism into monstrous diverse cruel aspects? 1 https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/sadhvi-pragya-thakur-planned-rss-sunil-joshis-murder-15-days-in-advance-nia-224281-2014-10-22 2https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/rss-sunil-joshi-murder-case-probe-says-pracharak-made-sexual-advances-on-sadhvi-pragya-204376-2014-08-17 http://archive.indianexpress.com/news/his-own-men-killed-joshi-muslim-family-paid-with-lives/738080/0 https://caravanmagazine.in/vantage/malegaon-blasts-aseemanand-planning-hindu-extremists

Majoritarian politics will doom democracy: India

To protect democracy in India it is necessary to prepare for a long drawn out war of which the context of 2019 election in West Bengal is an example of a battle only. However NCP leader got a wrong import of it as if it requires martial training and military preparation as RSS did in tribal invasion in Kashmir in 1948. Sharad Pawar also wants training cadres like the RSS to fight election. Wielding batons and practicing guns as it was the instance in BJP leader Narendra Mehta’s school in Navghar, Mira Road, Thane is trifling. This is good for civil war. But we are still far from one. Instead of entering the house of the enemy and punishing him there we entered Kashmir and attacked there which we proudly claim our own land. Instead of Indian army the RSS cadets wanted to fight it out against the tribal invasion from across the border. Fools rush where angels fear to tread. The consequent mobilization of army in 2001 in the aftermath of attack on Parliament was also like that as was with the more recent knee jerk reaction to Pulwama attack. We have blundered as did designated Chief Minister of Gujarat Narendra Modi who wanted to fight election against President General Musharraf in 2001-02 in Gujarat by referring derogatively Muslims of the state as “mia Musharaff”. As a consequence Musharraf took the matter of genocide of Muslim in Gujarat to General Assembly of UNO. It was foolhardy reminiscent of PM Jawaharlal Nehru taking the Kashmir dispute to UNO. A repeat of it is underway currently in West Bengal where elections are over but the BJP is continuing its battle against Mumta Banerjjee government. The BJP protesters wanted to take the bodies of three supporters to Calcutta to repeat what Modi had done on February 28 2002, allowing ABVP to take the dead bodies of karsevaks from Godhra to Ahmedabad to display the charred bodies and arouse communal hatred for the minority community and extract a bloody revenge, nothing short of a genocide of Muslim. In democracy all people are considered to be equal. This is a fact established by assertion and through practice. It is enshrined in the Constitution of the land. It cannot be abrogated by any swing in politics or election result. The election result shows that Modi does not accord any equality to the people of West Bengal because he is a threat to the “independent India’s most precious facet: a functioning multi-party democracy”.1 He does not want to countenance TMC government. The violence in Gangarampur on June 8 is a deliberate violation of the rule that all parties should avoid victory processions. But BJP is provoking unrest by organizing such processions even after a fortnight of the declaration of results. The spectacular display of the water cannon on the unruly BJP protesters on Wednesday June 12, 2019 will be remembered as a war memorial of a fierce battle to maintain law and order! The unrelenting and still willfulness of the governor and the PM’s intention to enforce governor rule and snatch power from the hands of the Chief Minister, reminds of other battles. It contrasts with PM Vajpayee’s intention to remove Modi during the Goa conclave of his party in 2002 but the PM and CM both showed impunity. However what is happening in West Bengal is even worse it is a conspiracy hatched to end democracy once for all and plant Hindu Muslim divide of the already fractured reality of east west Bengal and Bangladesh. The RSS ideology is again at it as it was during the Great Divide of 1947. But there is something that militates against it or to put it in the words of Robert Frost something that doesn’t like a wall (between neighbours). What was the bond of two ngihbours Maqbool and Rubon on June 9th that powered the rickshaw driver to rush his Hindu neighbour who was writhing in advance labour pain that to the delivery of a healthy boy named Shanti? The quintessence of Moditva/Hindutva is to destroy this age old rapport as they did in 2002, 2013 in Muzaffarnager, and now again in West Bengal. Does India of RSS not see the need for a close and harmonious relationship in which the people or groups concerned understand each other’s feelings or ideas and communicate well? 1.

Threatened existence of Tadvis bheels, Muslims

ThreatThreatened existence of Tadvis (Bheels, Muslims,etc) The death of Dr Payal Tadvi a second year post graduate at the Nair Hospital in Mumbai is regrettable and unfortunate. She was doing her post graduation and that in itself is enviable because of difficulty in getting admission. But for her nomadic tribe reservation such coveted opportunity of post graduation education in medical course is a matter of envy for others. It was easy to climb the ladder of progress and advancement. Even so that proved a bane for her. Those of the upper castes sometimes grudged it and tried to take it out (exhaust) by insulting and humiliating. But it is certain that the three doctors committed gross violation of her human rights of dignity and work. These rights are also enshrined in the Constitution of India. If she committed suicide then it was terror of being tortured in such a demeaning manner that drove her to end her life. There are examples in galore. But coming to the particulars of her own life; on the fateful day of May 22 she had called up her husband Dr Salman and told him that she would be meeting him soon. So there was no fear of anything. It was quite casual. The three accused doctors Aniketa Khandelwal, Hema Ahuja and Bhakti Mehare lived in different wings of the hostel. And yet they were at Payal’s room. By design or accidentally? They took Payal’s body to the casualty ward. Why did not they call for help, sound alarm or call the police? Why did they then go absconding instead of mourning and showing solidarity with the dead? The absence of these manifests the sucourless threatened existence of Payal. The accused three show signs of shunning police and media. They give excuse of needing a fair trial. This idiotype made the people in Mumbai turn against the three. The sophistication of language and argument smacks lack of sincerity on their part. Members of the Tadvi community have faced threat to their existence in group as well. The authentic account of the bomb blasts in Malegaon begins in Gujarat nomadic region of Dangs. Swami Aseemanand organized the Shabri Kumbh Mela near Pumpa pond of Shabri Dham on February 11, 12, and 13, 2006. A much publicized part of the mammoth gathering was to welcome Tadvi Bhil Muslims back to the Hindu fold. The Muslims in the Dangs Districts of Gujarat, the negihbouring districts of Nandurbar, Dhule and Malegaon town saw red in this. On February 5, they organized a move to make their fellow religionists desist from attending the ceremonies at the Shabri Kumbh Mela. Ahmad Burhan Khan Tadwi of Haripura, Yawal Gujarat, Masoom Rahim Tadwi of Maharad, Chopra and Ramzan Sardar Tadwi of Palan Taluka, Rawer, all from Gujarat issued a pamphlet calling for abstaining Muslims from joining Aseemanand. This angered Aseemanand who visited the rural areas of Dhulia in the vicinity of Malegaon. Within eight days of the attack on the Sankat Mochan Temple of Allahabad he called a meeting and asked the Hindutva groups primarily Abhinav Bharat, Jai Vande Matrum, etc to explode bombs in Malegaon in retaliation. Malegaon was the first target as it had a huge population of Muslims. It is worth noting that Akkalkjuwan and Navapur areas are in Maharashtra where Tadvis are in large numbers living as primitive life as their fellow tribal natives there. But Akkalkuwan also has the best education campus of Islamic seminary and educational hub, an eye sore of Hindutiva groups. Aseemanand’s move against the Tadvis posed an existential threat to the community. The case of Dr Payal also is of the same nature. She was the first of her community to have become a doctor. She was humiliated in the operation theatre with her file thrown at her in anger. She had performed operation well. Payal had natural talents and so she was not idiotype. The set of genetic determiners could not obstruct her in divining the cause and diagnosing the disease. As a gynaecologist she was a non-judgmental gynaecologist. She was not opinionated. She saw the case as it is and what best should be done for the remedy. The name in the case paper would not sway her from the principles of medical science. She was quite professional in her work and had done two caesarian operations successfully.
