Arjun Singh's fatwa against things Hindu-II

V SUNDARAM

        'At the beginning was fatwa; fatwa was with Arjun Singh; Arjun Singh was fatwa !! Toba! Toba!'

                                                                                                                                — super Saffron super secular Sundar Singh.

        I would like to describe HRD Minister Arjun Singh of today as Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru of yesterday in terms of his capacity for infatuation for all Muslims and positive political hatred for all Hindus. It was Pundit Nehru who laid the foundation for creating a mini Pakistan in Kerala in the late 1950s. This beginning of Islamisation of Kerala reached the first milestone in 1969 when EMS Namboodripad gave the gift of Malappuram district to the Moplahs or Malabar Muslims in 1969 by splitting up the old Calicut and Palghat districts, resulting in absolute Muslim majority in this district. To quote the most appropriate words of the eminent journalist Udayan Namboodiri in this context: 'Search as much as you like, but in the entire annals of free India it would be impossible to find a parallel to such brazen implementation of the two-nation theory. And belated too, by 22 years, which should shock those under the illusion that the 'secularism' which was enshrined in our Constitution rejects religion as a parameter in official delimitation exercises'. This process of Islamisation of India which began in the late 1950s is now getting its finishing touches in the consummate hands of Human Resources 'Destruction' Minister Arjun Singh!

        As Arjun Singh derives his instructions on the re-writing of NCERT history textbooks from Sonia Gandhi, he has indivisible contempt for the views of Mahatma Gandhi, the father of our nation, on the subject of Indian nationalism. Perhaps Arjun Singh thinks that Mahatma Gandhi was also unduly saffronised by his love for Lord Rama and Hinduism unlike his own romantic political passion for things Islamic. When 'eminent historians' as well as prominent congress leaders like Bal Gangadar Tilak, Arbindo Gosh and Mahatma Gandhi have categorically declared that India was one nation long before the British came, Arjun Singh in one stroke has done away with nearly 5000 years of Indian history by endorsing the British historians, that it was only after the British came that India became one nation. While giving his approval to the new politically- distorted textbooks, Arjun Singh has not even bothered to check whether he is not questioning the foundation of the thesis of Mahatma Gandhi and other great Indian nationalists, who fought against the British for our freedom. Arjun Singh has gone to the extent of suggesting that 'idea of India' as a nation 'took shape only during our freedom struggle'.

        Shocked and shaken by the British canard that India was not a nation before the coming of British, Mahatma Gandhi wrote about the existence of the concept of Indian 'nation' in his 'Hindu-Swarajya' in 1909 exposing the British fraud:

        'The English have taught us that we were not a nation before and it will require centuries before we become one nation. This is without foundation. We were one nation before they came to India. One thought inspired us. Our mode of life was the same. It was because we were one nation that they were able to establish one kingdom. Our leading men traveled throughout India either on foot or in bullock-carts. What do you think could have been the intention of those farseeing ancestors of ours who established Setubandh (Rameswaram) in the south, Jagnnath in the east and Haridwar in the north as places of pilgrimage? You will admit that they were no fools. They knew that worship of God could have been performed at home. They taught us that those whose hearts were aglow with righteousness had the Ganga in their own homes. (Mana changa to kathauti mein Ganga). But they saw that India was one undivided land so made by nature. They, therefore, argued that it must be one nation. Arguing thus, they established holy places in various parts of India and fired the people with the idea of nationality in a manner unknown in other parts of the world'.

        Step by step, aided and abetted by the all the Communists of different hues and shades now part of the UPA coalition in New Delhi, our helpless nation has traveled from different stages of non-saffronisation to minority communalisation to minority Talibanisation to Arjun Singh's detoxification. The solemnly pseudo-secular advertisement issued by the HRD Ministry, Government of India, and published in several newspapers on 30 July, 2004 will take the cake under this category. The advertisement carried the title 'Students' interest - our foremost concern'. Arjun Singh thought that he was showing his great concern towards the Muslims and Christians of India, minority vote banks of the Congress party, by appointing a three-member committee-all former presidents of Indian History Congress- for re-writing the NCERT textbooks in keeping with his pernicious anti-Hindu philosophy of non-saffronisation and detoxification. According to this philosophy, anything saffron is poisonous and anything green is human, humane, cultured, civilised and 'secular'. They were expected to identify the 'mistakes and communal passages in the current history textbooks of NCERT earlier approved by the NDA government and suggest alternative expressions'. They could not comment or even deny the evidence given in the textbooks on the issues like cow eating in ancient India, Aryan migration, Vedic civilisation, science, astronomy, mathematics etc during the Vedic period, atrocities on Hindus and destruction of the places of worship during the medieval period. Despite the fact that there were no mistakes or so called communal passages found in the earlier textbooks, the members recommended that the books should be withdrawn. They only implemented the fatwa issued against the academic community as a whole (excepting pseudo-secular Marxist/ Congress favourites) by Arjun Singh.

        One of the earlier textbooks of the NCERT managed the feat of writing about Jehangir's reign without mentioning his execution of Guru Arjun Singh. The persecution and execution of subsequent Gurus by successive Mughal rulers was similarly glossed over. This process of selective exclusion made it difficult for the ordinary student to understand as to why the Sikhs, Marathas and Jats offered such sustained resistance to Mughal rule for so long a time. All of us should appreciate the fact that India is no ordinary country, and that the history of India is actually the story of the triumphs and travails of a great civilisation. Arjun Singh and his UPA fellow Marxists are committed to the devilish task of fragmenting and erasing India's civilisational memory. So it is no small wonder that they are resisting even simple non-interpretative factual narratives from reaching school children at all levels. The only Hinduism which they like is a museum Hinduism; any Hinduism that displays a will to survive is treated with the same horror that would be aroused if an Egyptian mummy were to show signs of life.

        All responsible citizens of India who love Bharatvarsh and Bharat Mata, who love the Mahabharata and the Ramayana , the Vedas and the Upanishads, and of course the Bhaghavat Gita should strongly condemn the unabashed and ludicrous efforts of our anti-Hindu, anti-national HRD Minister Arjun Singh to erase and rewrite the history of Bharatvarsh. I was very touched by the following poem written by Amogh Shaikh in this context:
 
 

        Kalyug Ka Mantri Arjun Singh!!

        Who is the present HRD Minister?

        Obsessed with a motive so sinister

        He flip-flops history with his friends in the sly

        Our national heroes become zeroes in the blink of an eye

        The glory of Bharatiya history and civilisation

        Is now being pushed into the deep seas of oblivion

        He is the present prophet of so called Indian 'secularism'

        With a mission to destroy the essence of Bharatiya nationalism

        By what name do we call this evil being?

        None but Kalyug ka Mantri Arjun Singh!

        Rama and Krishna, our national icons so towering and great

        Have been demoted to the level of symbols of hate

        Their existence even have been put into a shroud

        To make the 'seculars' and comrades feel proud.

        Invader Ghori is glorified in his new book

        Prithviraj is shown as a coward and a crook

        Traitor Jaichand is depicted as a brave fighter

        Well! A Marxist historian could never write any better

        He has successfully exerted his official might

        Hence, Upanishads & Gita have vanished from the sight

        Sri Ramkrishna, the spiritual guru of Swami Vivekananda

        Has been now declared to be mentally unbalanced

        Who is he, so notorious and cunning?

        None but Kalyug Ka Mantri Arjun Singh!

        So arise! Sisters and brothers of Bharatvarsh

        All these falsehoods trample and crush

        It is our duty towards our motherland

        To aggressively act and protest on demand

        Give him the taste of his own medicine

        He deserves to be banished for his sin

        An example must be set so loud and clear

        Even in a thousand years no one would ever dare

        We shall not allow anymore this plunder and pillage!

        We shall set things right before our children come of age!

        Join and unitedly make this supreme vow

        Without a doubt the time is perfectly ripe now

        What should be done now as the final thing?

        Throw into oblivion this Kalyug Ka Mantri Arjun Singh!

        Petty men like our HRD Minister cannot silence Hindu voice for ages to come. Hinduism has withstood the onslaught of external invaders for more than 2000 years. It is capable of defending itself against all its internal invaders, the torchbearers of pseudo-secularism, who are trying to hold aloft the green flag of de-saffronisation.
