AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

        India is the only country in the world where 80 per cent of the total population of India, just by virtue of their being Hindus, have to maintain an attitude of detached silence towards all the atrocities let loose by the so-called terrorists against Hindu places of worship.

        Pseudo-secular political hearts of Sonia Gandhi, Arjun Singh, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Ram Vilas Paswan, etc. in the UPA Government in New Delhi and the non-communal compassionate heart of Mulayam Singh Yadav in UP will remain unshaken, unseduced and unterrified by the three bomb explosions which ripped through the holy city of Varanasi yesterday in which more than 20 persons were killed and 62 persons injured. It is feared that the highly compassionate and secular Muslim terrorists have chosen to bomb the Sankat Mochan Temple in Varanasi where hundreds of devotees had congregated for offering their worship. The bomb went off at 6.30 p.m. when the temple was teeming with devotees during the evening puja. At the moment of attack, a marriage ceremony was in progress at the temple. It is reported that the blast was so powerful that it could be heard across the city of Varanasi. People ran helter skelter. A few minutes later another bomb blast took place at the Cantonment Railway Station. The third blast was carried out in a crowded coach of the Shiv Ganga Express Train before it was to leave for New Delhi.

        Section 153-A of the Indian Penal Code states, among other things, 'Whoever commits any act which is prejudicial to the maintenance of harmony between different religious, racial, language or regional groups or castes or communities and which disturbs or is likely to disturb the public tranquillity' is liable for prosecution and punishment. Likewise Section 295-A of the Indian Penal Code states: 'whoever with deliberate and malicious intention of outraging the religious feelings of any class of citizens of India (by words, either spoken or written, or by signs or by physical representations or otherwise), insults or attempts to insult a religion or the religious beliefs of that class' shall be liable for prosecution and punishment.

        All the communal riots after independence have arisen only because of the double dealing pseudo-secular policies of the Congress Party resting on the foundation of strategic appeasement of minorities and calculated marginalisation of those in majority. Time and again clear political signals have been given to the minorities to the effect that sections 153-A and 295-A are applicable only to the Hindu majority and not to the rest of India. It is on the basis of this political principle that the Muslims of India have been given a total exemption from the common civil code applicable to the rest of the country.

        The knee-jerk panic shown by the State and Union governments soon after the Varanasi Blasts yesterday clearly points towards a psychology from which all enlightened Indians and more particularly the majority Hindus have to free themselves. In this context I would like to quote the appropriate words of Mahatma Gandhi: 'The thirteen hundred years of imperialistic expansion has made the Mussalmans fighters as a class. They are, therefore, aggressive. Bullying is the natural excrescence of an aggressive spirit. The Hindu has an age-old civilization. He is essentially nonviolent. Predominance of the non-violent spirit has restricted the use of arms to a small minority; not knowing use of arms nor having an aptitude for them, the Hindus have become docile to the point of timidity or cowardice.'

        Mahatma Gandhi was convinced that Muslims will not stop being bullies so long as Hindus continue to be cowards. He saw no hope for a healthy relationship between the two communities till this imbalance was corrected. Mahatma Gandhi concluded: 'From my own experience, I confirm the opinion that the Mussalman as a rule is a bully and the Hindu as a rule is a coward. If the Hindus wish to convert the Mussalman bully into a respecting friend, they have to learn to die in the face of the heaviest odds. Hindus must cease to fear the Mussalman bully.'

        I would appeal to the pseudo-secularists of India to answer the following questions:

        1.What was the provocation for the Moplah riots in 1920 during the height of the Khilafat and the Non-Cooperation Movements?

        2. What was the provocation for the Great Calcutta Killings of 1946?

        3. What was the provocation for killings in Noakhali or Multan in 1947?

        4.What were the provocations for September 11 attack in USA or Bali bombings?

        The answer perhaps lies in the Islamic Texts. Out of 6236 Ayats of the Quran, about 3900 are directly or indirectly related to 'Kufar' and 'Kafirs', non-believers in Allah and his Prophet Mohammed. These 3900 or odd Ayats also simultaneously refer to other subjects like, believers, Jihad, Kiyamat, Hell and Heaven. Here are a few samples taken from a writ petition called the famous 'CALCUTTA QURAN PETITION' filed by three valiant sons of India, namely Sri Chand Mal Chopra, Advocate of Calcutta High Court, Sri Hamangshu Kumar Chakraborthy and Sri Sital Singh in 1985:

        'Surah 2 Ayat 193: 'Fight against them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme'

        Surah 2/123: 'Believers! Make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Let them find harshness in you'

        Surah 8 Ayat 12: 'I shall cast terror into the hearts of infidels. Strike off their reads and maim them in every limb'.'

        In the above writ petition, the petitioners listed 149 verses from the Quran by way of example to highlight the fact that these verses show a pronounced tendency to incite violence, disturb public tranquillity, promote on grounds of religion, feelings of enmity, hatred and ill-will between different religious communities and insult other religious beliefs of other communities.

        It is a cruel irony that all the pseudo-secular leaders of India should look the other way when Muslims indulge in acts of terrorism and violence. These great leaders seem to do so more out of LOVE of FEAR in ordinary times and more out of Love for minority votes during election times.
