Manmohan's dangerous declaration of 2006 - IV

V SUNDARAM

        The Muslim intelligentsia has not yet given up its postulate of parallel society. It has still not learnt to separate religion from politics. Their idea of religious freedom is merely that the structure of the Muslim society in India should remain unaltered. Hamid Dalwai.

        When Mohammed Gazini attacked the Somnath temple in the 11th century AD and destroyed all the idols there, he did less damage to the Hindu psyche than what Dr Manmohan Singh has done today through his Islam-embracing and Hindu-obliterating statement on knock down priority to the Muslims of India in all matters relating to welfare and development. His specially chosen hangman in so far as more than 800 million Hindus in absolute majority in India are concerned is Justice Rajinder Sachar who has given his infamous report based on half truths, fable, fiction, contrived and manipulated statistics to hide the blatant truth at all costs with transcendental pseudo-secular fervour. His only focus has been to advance the political fortunes of the dying Congress Party. Now the question is what was the provocation for the appointment of Justice Sachar Committee? The answer can be given in the trenchant words of Dr T H Chowdary, a great technocrat and humanist and a great son of India with total indivisible commitment to Sanatana Dharma: 'In order to gain the block votes of Muslims to boost the sagging fortunes of Sonia-led Congress, the UPA Government directed by the Italy-born Dr. Sonia Maino Gandhi and kept in power by the non-Indian communist parties, the Prime Minister, who has been reduced to a rubber-stamp by the ADHINAYAKI of Congress appointed the JUSTICE RAJINDER SACHAR COMMITTEE to study and report on the economic and social conditions of Muslims in the 'secular' democratic republic of India. The Sachar Committee has brought out the very well-known facts that Muslim residents in India are miserably lagging behind Hindus, in some respects, even behind the scheduled castes. The Committee laments that while Muslim population is 15 per cent and above, their representation in prestigious services like IAS and IPS and IFS is only 2 per cent to 3 per cent. It wanted to find out the percentage of Muslims in armed forces but rightly and very patriotically, they refused to give that information as it will be used for dividing the nation and communalizing the armed forces which alone today are the sole guarantor and preservers of the country's integrity and nation's independence. The learned Justice Rajinder Sachar conveniently forgot or he did not know what Dr B R Ambedkar, the great patriot and statesman of India had to say about employment of Muslims in India's armed services. Dr Ambedkar held it would be very dangerous and risky to have Muslims in the armed forces. In profusion of his sympathy, Justice Rajinder Sachar had advocated the adoption of proactive measures that could bring up Muslim representation in proportion to their population in every sector of India's economic and government activities. There is a suggestion that the budget f every government department and development project should set apart 15 per cent for helping Muslims'.

        Justice Sachar has conveniently ignored the fact that the contribution of the Muslim population to the GDP is not even 2 per cent and that they are the largest consumers of welfare schemes because of the ever expanding profusion of the poor amongst them. They are poor and unemployable because of their total lack of concern for modern merit-giving and employability-promoting education, especially for the girl children. If the reservations for Muslims are conceded as affirmative action to remove their backwardness, can Christians be left behind? It is very clear that there is a calculated move of the Congress to first make a promise to Muslims so that by violence, militancy and terrorism, the Muslims will get it and therefore the Christians will find it easy to follow soon.

        The fundamental question is whether this nation, especially Hindus owe anything to the Muslims. We should not forget that the backwardness among Muslims is a characteristic attributes of Muslims in every country in the world. The Human Development Index in in Bangladesh and Pakistan, the two states not ruled by Hindus, is no better than that of India. The few Hindus — the Kafirs, according to the Koran — could not have imposed backwardness on their Islamic rulers. A United Nations Study of Arab countries has established that despite their oil riches, Human Development Index in Muslim Arab countries compares very poorly with the countries of comparable per capita GDP, in Europe and elsewhere.

        In India Muslims ruled several parts of the country for about 700 years. They imposed Persian, not an Indian language but a foreign one, as government language upon the people of India. In the Nizam's state of Hyderabad, Muslims were the rulers until September 1948. Urdu not Telugu, Marathi or Kannada was the medium of instruction from primary to the University level. 90 per cent of the government jobs were for the less than 10 per cent Muslims. How have they become backward in so short a period in that region?

        I fully endorse the view of Dinanath Mishra: 'The Sachar Committee report, submitted recently to Parliament, is pregnant with disastrous consequences. It may result in balkanisation of the nation on communal lines. It also contains the seeds of the two-nation theory propounded in the early decades of the 20th century'.

        It is not for a government appointed committee to look into the political status of different religious groups in India. Justice Sachar, just in order to politically qualify himself for being appointed as Governor or some such sinecure post, has transgressed his limits under the mischievous garb of 'political participation' and made several political recommendations to advance the political fortunes of the Congress Party. No enlightened citizen can fail to note that most portions of the report have been penned by Marxist Historian Irfan Habib and known Hindu-baiters belonging to Aligarh Muslim University (AMU ) alumnae. Justice Sachar Committee Report proudly bears an authentic AMU stamp.

        Justice Sachar by suggesting a method for the greater participation of the Muslims in the political process through the establishment of a more rational procedure for DELIMITATION OF CONSTITUENCIES has put his spiritual and political progenitor Mohammed Ali Jinnah who was responsible for the disastrous partition of India to Himalayan shame. This Islamic recommendation alone will entitle Justice Sachar for the award of a new title of honour to be brought in exclusively for his sake called 'SUPERSECULAR BHRATRATNA' at a special investiture ceremony to be presided over by Sonia Gandhi, with Dr Manmohan Singh acting as an obedient Master of Ceremonies, and sanctified by the presence of more than one dozen Islamic Heads of State — both Sunni and Shia without any communal discrimination! That day will be the most glorious day in the long and chequered history of India — more glorious than the Arab conquest of Sind in 712 AD.

        The Constituent Assembly in 1947 - 49, while dealing with the question of reservations for Muslims unanimously rejected the idea of religion based reservations. It would be interesting to look into one member's arguments at that time :

        Begum Aizaz Rasul (United Provinces): 'To my mind, reservation is a self-destructive weapon which separates the minorities from the majority. It gives no chance to the minorities to win the goodwill of the majority. It keeps up the spirit of separatism and communalism alive which should be done away.'

        Recently I have finished reading a brilliant book on Muslim Politics in India by an Indian Muslim called Hamid Dalwai who describes one of the symptoms of Dhimmitude with great candour and courage in plain English. He pays his brilliant tribute to the timid and cowardly Hindus in these words : 'A Hindu is used to playing several roles and he is an expert in assuming different forms on different occasions. But I must frankly state that there is a kind of Hindu who is always terrified when he thinks of Muslims. This is no doubt a shameful state of affairs. At every critical moment this particular type of Hindu pretends to be more of a Muslim than a Muslim himself, and thwarts the attempts of those who are trying to make the average Muslim less of a fanatic'. (Dalwai, 1968, pp. 44-45)

        Hindus will do well to learn from the experience of Mahatma Gandhi. He spent a lifetime in singing hymns of praise to the 'noble faith of Islam' and extolling the Koran and the Prophet. And yet, he was regarded by the majority of Muslims as the 'greatest enemy of Islam' and abused as such in the foulest language by the Urdu Press. He lived to see the holocaust of Partition caused by Islam. According to the Congressmen of today, his only fault was that, unlike the votaries of secularism, he was very proud of being a Hindu. Thus it will be clear that people like Dr Manmohan Singh, Justice Sachar, Arjun Singh, Sonia Gandhi and others who cherish the illusion that Muslims can be persuaded to make concessions if Islam is flattered, live in a fool's paradise. The whole history of Islam in India and elsewhere is a witness that Muslims have never made a concession to the 'Kafirs', particularly when it came to the essentials of their creed. Hindus have to realise at once that their temples are not safe so long as they recognize Islam as a religion and thus permit it to retain its self-righteous aggressiveness under the paternal care of the UPA Government in New Delhi holding aloft their flag of pseudo-secularism.

        Kulapathi K M Munshi wrote long ago that Prime Minister Nehru reduced the Congress President to a rubber-stamp. In a magnificent act of subterranean reversal of that despicable act, Congress President Sonia Gandhi has reduced the Prime Minister to a rubber-stamp. God save India and her people!!
