Rajeev Srinivasan on the fuss about "Hindu
terrorists"
The recent fuss about alleged "Hindu
terrorists" has entertained me hugely because all the usual suspects
played their expected roles to perfection. The pseudo-secular media had a
field day insinuating that Hindu terrorism is as major a problem in India
as is Mohammedan and Christist terrorism. The UPA forgot its axiom that "terrorism
has no religion", and joyously crowed about "Hindu terrorists".
The BJP was apoplectic in its attempts to distance itself from the alleged
"Hindu terrorists".
Meanwhile, some actual - not imagined - terrorism
activity has been going on in Kerala, where at least 300 people have been
recruited by Mohammedan fundamentalists to wage war on the Indian State. Newspaper
reports suggest that at least 96 young men from Kerala, who were given military
training by SIMI, are at large. 16 of them are in Kashmir, the others in Bangalore
or Kerala, according to Intelligence Bureau reports. Apparently there are
special instructions in Malayalam in SIMI jungle camps held all over the country,
for the poor dears are not so proficient in Urdu/Arabic.
These young men were dispatched to Kashmir
with simple instructions: kill Indian soldiers and facilitate infiltration
by the Pakistanis. Terrorism has now become just a job. So much so that so-called
"spiritual advisers" ("paymaster" may be a more accurate
designation) are out there recruiting known gangsters, converting them and
sending them off to Kashmir. A particular gang of Christist criminals in Cochin
has apparently supplied several converts who made the trek to Kashmir: including
one Verghese aka Yasin who took a bullet in his head from the Indian Army
and had to be identified from his fingerprints.
All this is ironic: Kerala has long been a
supplier of manpower and womanpower - first it was the clerks and petty shopkeepers
all over India, as well as a lot of soldiers; then it has been nurses, next
construction labor and professionals for the Persian Gulf and America, and
most recently, Christist padres and nuns for the conversion industry and as
gastarbeiter for the shrinking seminaries of Europe.
I guess it is but a small step to terrorism
as a profession. As Adi Sankara said in a slightly different context some
centuries ago, "udara nimittam bahu krta vesham" (one wears various
roles to satisfy that despotic stomach). It is said that in parts of Malabar,
the UAE dirham, the Saudi riyal, and the US dollar are almost as much legal
tender as the Indian rupee: there is so much of that stuff floating around.
Not to speak of absolutely authentic-looking Pakistani-made Indian rupee notes.
A while ago, an entire ocean-going container full of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000
counterfeit notes - from Pakistan with love via Dubai - was intercepted in
Kerala. That is a boatload of money, indeed.
And then there's the news about serial blasts
in Manipur and - as I write this - in Assam, that have killed large numbers
of innocent people. There are all the other blasts - there have been so many
we begin to lose count - in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Delhi, etc. etc. etc. -
where the perpetrators unambiguously let it be known that they were Mohammedans
inflamed by religious fundamentalism and jihad.
Christist terrorists have been running rampant
in the Northeast for some time: their modus operandi is a little different
- they prefer the AK-47 and they generally target specific individuals. They
have ethnically-cleansed 45,000 Reang tribals from Mizoram for refusing to
convert; they shot respected litterateur and patriot, Bineshwar Brahma in
Guwahati; they shot Hindu priest Shanti Tripura in his own temple; and most
recently, they shot Swami Lakshmananda in Orissa (let's not kid around about
this: even the alleged Communist terrorist who was trotted out, suitably incognito,
on TV to exonerate Christists admitted that most of his flock were Christists).
Not to mention that almost the entire top
echelon of the dreaded Tamil Tigers are Christists, and the non-Christists
mysteriously suffer "accidents" or are captured by the Sri Lankan
Army or "commit suicide". Velupillai Prabhakaran, Anton Balasingham,
et al are all Christists. So was Dhanu, the suicide bomber who blew up Rajiv
Nehru Gandhi. There is reason to believe that the so-called Maoists in Nepal
are also crypto-Christists, especially some of their top brass.
Of course, none of this qualifies for the
"religious terrorism" moniker as far as the lovely English-Language
Media and the UPA are concerned. Their sound and fury is reserved for some
poor Hindu nun who is, by the power of "truth by repeated assertion",
subjected to an electronic lynch, deemed a terrorist and subjected to tejovadham.
This is to be expected, as the ELM and the pseudo-seculars in India have a
sworn duty: that of cultural extinction of the native civilization of this
country. Once you understand this axiom, their baffling acts are self-consistent
in a certain bizarre frame of reference.
Whether the pseudo-seculars do this for money,
or they have been brainwashed by the predatory State, is not entirely clear.
But then it doesn't matter, does it, since the end result is the same?
And this deliberate use of nomenclature terrorism
- the use of insinuation to demonize and to create defensiveness - is a purely
Goebbelsian propaganda tactic. I tried a little experiment on the pseudo-seculars
some years ago by returning the favor. I started referring to their ideology
as Nehruvian Stalinism. Their immediate knee-jerk reaction was to label me
a Hindu fundamentalist, Hindu fascist etc. Which I was prepared for: I told
them, fine, maybe I am all that, but you, you are Nehruvian Stalinists.
I got the reaction I expected: when the tables
were turned, the pseudo-seculars did exactly what they expect others to do
under their attacks. They got defensive, they labored to explain why they
were not Stalinists, and how different Nehru was from Stalin. They grew increasingly
exasperated as I kept insisting that Nehru was a lot like Stalin: the personality
cult, the imperiousness, the purges, the heavy-industry fetish, etc., and
how Jawaharlal was merely a little less effective in his ruthlessness.
Happily, I got a few pseudo-seculars into
an absolute tizzy denying these allegations; they practically foamed at the
mouth. I had succeeded - I had got them to play on my terms, on the playing
field I defined; instead of protesting that I was not a fascist, I had changed
the terms of reference and forced them to defend their cherished shibboleths.
It was good to watch them squirm.
That, I submit, is the way to play this game.
Hindus should not bother to try and prove that they are not terrorists. We
should say "Yes, there must be Hindu terrorists, just like you guys are
Communist terrorists, or Christist terrorists, or Mohammedan terrorists. Any
questions?" If they continue to blather, one might hint darkly of caches
of AK-47s and RDX.
It is evident that the pseudo-seculars are
cowards and bullies, and this will shut them up. Only, gentle reader, I suggest
you be careful in your choice of words, just in case somebody has a hidden
camera- make veiled threats, where you cannot be pinned down to anything specific.
And occasionally mutter knowingly about some atrocity perpetrated by the Christist
or Communist or Mohammedan terrorists, and insinuate that you have certain
"friends" and you know where the pseudo-seculars live. You know,
the kind of thing the Mafioso say in those gangster movies.
Nomenclature terrorism is a game two can play,
and the sinister Nehruvian Stalinists can be - as in the quaint phrase they
use - hoist on their own petard.
