1000 Yr Struggle Continues

[Guest guest]

Namaskar,

 

When my 71 year old mother heard about how 58 odd Hindus were burnt in Godhra

her first reaction, Beta this reminds me of the Partition riots in Punjab. Then

Hindus and Sikhs including women and children were similarly killed. Has

anything changed?

 

>From the time of the first Muslim invasion of Sind in 712 AD Hindus have been

killed, raped, converted and their temples destroyed. Besides our country

was plundered like never before. At the time of Partition Nehru said that we

Hindus could now live in peace since we had given the Muslims what they wanted.

As the movie 'Hey Ram' showed nothing as changed. India continues to be a victim

of Islamic terrorism or to use a medievial word Barbarism. In independent India

it was only in Nehru's Jammu and Kashmir did such things happen but now the

virus has spread to every nook and corner of the country.

 

Sometimes I wonder why the Muslims of India are so attached to the mosque

constructed by Babar, a Turk, logically how on earth is he related to them. He

spoke a different language, came from a distant country. But so strongly do the

Muslims of India identify themselves with these foreign invaders that it makes

me want to agree with people who say that Islam knows no national boundaries,

is Pan-Islamic. What is it in us Hindus or Sanathan Dharam that the Muslims

hate it so much (I am not seeking approval please). Singing of the Saraswati

Vandana or Vande Mataram was such a big issue or UnIslamic meaning Islam always

came first.

 

Friends can you think of any other country in the world where the majority

community is treated like this. The Congress / Left supporters of Muslim

intransigence and terrorism are least concerned about Hindus. Sadly the BJP too

has turned secular, Hindus be damned. Having a Church would take away the

freedom of Sanathan Dharam but beloved ones if Hindus fail to organize

ourselves, stand up unitedly for their rights there would be many more Godhras

to come. Just see the plight of the hapless Pandits of Jammu and Kashmir and

you will realize the condition you will find yourself in. Why must the

government manage our Temples and Educational institutions when Muslims /

Christians are free from such control? Articles 29,30 of the Constitution must

be amended.

 

What must one do? Am reproducing quotes of Sri Aurobindo, (from the book

'India's Rebirth') one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century.

 

 1." September 4,1906 -  Partition Bengal :  The idea that by encouraging Muslim

rowdyism, the present agitation may be put down, is preposterous and those who

cherish this notion forget that the bully is neither the strongest nor the

bravest of men, and that because the self-restraint of Hindus, miscalled

cowardice, has been a prominent feature of his national character, he is

absolutely incapable of striking straight and striking hard when any sacred

situation demands this. Not has it been proved recently, that the mild Hindu is

so absolutely helpless and incapable of defending his rights and liberties as he

is painted by his foreign enemies.

 2.  June 19,1909    -    Of one thing we may be certain, that Hindu-Mahomedan

unity cannot be affected by political adjustments or Congress flatteries. It

must be sought deeper down, in the heart and in the mind, for where the causes

of disunion are; there the remedies must be sought. We shall do well in trying

to solve the problem to remember that misunderstanding is the most fruitful

causes of our differences, that love compels love and that strength conciliates

the strong. We must strive to remove the causes of misunderstanding by a better

mutual knowledge and sympathy; we must extend the unfaltering love of the

patriot to our Musulman brother, remembering always that in him too Narayana

dwells and to him too our Mother has given a permanent place in her bosom; but

we must cease to approach him falsely or flatter out of a selfish weakness and

cowardice. We believe this to be the only practical way of dealing with the

difficulty. As a political question the Hindu Mahomedan problem does not

interest us at all, as a national problem it is of supreme importance.

3.  April 18, 1923   -    Hindu-Muslim unity  :  (Sri Aurobindo:) I am sorry

they are making a fetish of this Hindu-Muslim unity. It is no use ignoring

facts; some day the Hindus may have fight the Muslims and they must prepare for

it Hindu-Muslim unity should not mean the subjection of the Hindus. Every time

the mildness of the Hindu has given way. The best solution would be to allow

the Hindus to organize themselves and the Hindu-Muslim unity would take care of

itself, it would automatically solve the problem. Otherwise we are lulled into a

false sense of satisfaction that we have solved a difficult problem when in fact

we have only shelved it.

 4.  May 18, 1926   -  Look at Indian politicians: all ideas, ideas-they are

busy with ideas. Take the Hindu-Muslim problem: I don’t know why our

politicians accepted Gandhi’s Khilafat agitation. With the mentality of the

ordinary Mahomedan it was bound to produce the reaction it has produced: you

fed the force, it gathered power and began to make demands which the Hindu

mentality had to rise up and reject. That does not require Supermind to find

out, it requires common sense. Then, the Mahomedan reality and the Hindu

reality began to break heads at Calcutta. (refers to the riots in Calcutta the

previous month). The leaders are busy trying to square the realities with their

mental ideas instead of facing them straight….

5.  August 1, 1926 -  Muslim problem    :  The attempt to placate the Mahomedans

was a false diplomacy. Instead of trying to achieve Hindu-Muslim unity directly,

if the Hindus had devoted themselves to national work, the Mahomedans would have

gradually come of themselves…. This attempt to patch up a unity has given too

much importance to the Muslims and it has been the root of all these troubles.

6.  May 28, 1940     - Gandhi’s attitude to Muslims  :  Have you read what

Gandhi has said in answer to a correspondent? He says that if eight crores of

Muslims demand a separate State, what else are the twenty-five crores of Hindus

to do but surrender? Otherwise there will be civil war.  (A disciple:) I hope

that is not the type of conciliation he is thinking of.

 Not thinking of it, you say? He has actually said that and almost yielded. If

you yield to the opposite party beforehand, naturally they will stick strongly

to their claims. It means that the minority will rule and the majority must

submit. The minority is allowed its say, “We shall be the ruler and you our

servants. Our hard [word] will be law; you will have to obey.” This shows a

peculiar mind I think this kind of people are a little cracked."

 

Through a series of researched articles The Feature of the Month for Februray

attempted to understand the mind of the sub-continent Muslim. A number of

readers criticized me for attempting to spread hatred. I have nothing to say

but see events unfolding for yourself. Suggested reading in order of dates is

Wahabi Movement (1830-1860), Aligarh Movement (1870s), Khilafat Movement

(1920s), Muhammad Iqbal (1930s) and lastly History of Urdu. All these articles

are on the History section of the site. To read more about Aurobindo click here

You do not have to agree with me but hope to have left you with food for thought.
