passivity!

Varsha Bhosle Passivity does not a nation

protecthttp://www.rediff.com/news/2002/sep/26varsha.htmThe BJP-led NDA

government of India put the nation on a state of high alert to deal with any

fallout of the attack on the Akshardham temple in Gandhinagar. Prime Minister

Vajpayee, Deputy PM Advani and Gujarat CM Modi urged the people not to be

provoked by the massacre. They pleaded for peace even as authorities were

ordered to beef up security at vital installations and other places of worship.

And, of course, everyone pointed fingers at Pakistan. That's rich, coming from

"leaders" who have done nothing but boost the self-confidence of Islamic

terrorists who infiltrate into India from the 52nd State of the USA (Britain

being the 51st). Cowardice does not a nation make. And Indians are rank

cowards. We had no answer when Dr Farooq Abdullah said in 2000, "You never

demonstrated the guts to wage a war and liberate what is our part." And we

don't have one now, either. Kargil came and Kargil went. Kargil II also came!

(Its current status is being kept under wraps.) We released Masood Azhar, of

course, but we also released, as a "goodwill gesture," five separatists who

were among the 25 hardcore Hurriyat members detained under the Public Safety

Act. Then we released Yasin Malik, who had called for a Palestinian-type

intifada against India. And yet, we somehow crawled through it all. Then 9/11

happened, so did the attack on Parliament -- and we stayed put... Despite

urging from the Indian Army, we did not clean out the terror camps in the

Indian territory usurped by the US' vassal state. Instead, we simply mobilised

the army at the frontiers; they've been there for nine months now. Result?

"Stressed-out jawan kills CO after combat orders." And, of course, after "India

gives Pakistan two weeks to end terror," we stopped train/bus services,

overflights and the such. Last status of such threats: Opening of Pakistani

airspace for India was not subject to the withdrawal of the forces,

[Pakistan's] secretary defence said. 'It was a foolish act of India but a

blessing in disguise for Pakistan. We will decide to open the airspace for

India at our own schedule'... To correct its mistake, the Indian government

announced on June 9 the restoration of airspace for the Pakistani planes. (Pak

News.com, September 20) The Centre is no longer talking about the 'list of 20'

to be returned, as one of the pre-conditions for talks. The Centre does not

want to make this an issue right now, due to US pressure. Pakistan has

reportedly convinced the US of the pitfalls of handing over Dawood Ibrahim, who

figures in the list. (The Times of India, September 21) The Indian army has

withdrawn three strike divisions from the Pakistan frontier, reducing its war

readiness on the border as militant infiltrations decline, high-ranking army

and government officials said on Tuesday. (Hindustan Times, July 16) Next, we

tried to send "secular" newspaper editors and a perpetually disgruntled former

Union minister to talk to separatists in J&K and PoK. Last I heard about that:

Srinagar observed a complete shutdown on Tuesday as the valley voted in the

second phase of assembly election in J&K... the abysmally low voter turnout in

Srinagar could easily be blamed on the Hurriyat Conference's bandh call.

(rediff.com, September 24)Soon after the Kashmir Committee proposed talks with

Pakistan's National Kashmir Committee, its leader [Abdul Qayyum] said time was

not 'conducive' for dialogue. (The Pioneer, September 9)[Pakistan's] Foreign

Minister Innam-ul Haq and Foreign Secretary Riaz Khokhar have received

instructions that no retired Indian army general, NGO activist or Indian

intellectual will be entertained in future as the 'messenger of peace.' Only

the Foreign Office will call the shots because of prevailing consensus that

back-door diplomacy channels are always used to create misunderstanding between

Pakistan and Kashmiris (The Weekly Independent, September 19) With the

Akshardham attack, ISI-sponsored Islamic terrorism has well and truly entered

India. Not that this is the first instance of such terrorism; there have been

myriad cases of sabotage and murder perpetrated by Pakis and Pak-sponsored

Indian traitors throughout India. But this attack stands out because it is

different from the attacks on government facilities, like the J&K assembly and

Parliament; the attacks on defense camps, like Kaluchak and Badami Bagh; and

the massacres of innocents at Chattisinghpora, Amarnath and Raghunath Temple.

Akshardham is the FIRST fidayeen attack aimed at the massacre of Indian

civilians outside the state of Jammu & Kashmir. And, there will be more... What

"high state of alert"? Do you for a moment believe our Sakharams would be able

to suss out a terrorist with an Uzi in his bag from amongst the hordes

thronging Churchgate station or Chowringhee or Bengali Market? Do terrorists

need to fire only in temples to cause maximum damage? Terrorism of this kind

cannot be controlled on an ad hoc basis -- one *has* to get to the root of the

problem. One of which is Pakistan, the other being the Islamism disseminated in

madarsas. Already, a leading Islamist of India, the Shahi Imam of Jama Masjid,

Syed Ahmed Bukhari, who holds sway over 130 million Muslims, has said that "it

was too early to say whether the attack was staged by relatives of Muslims

killed by Hindus in the recent riots or the raid was part of a deep-rooted plot

by Hindu zealots to rekindle religious violence." (UNI, September 25) Add to

that the statement of the London-based Council of Indian Muslims: "If honest

and impartial investigations are made we would not be surprised if the BJP/VHP

leadership is found guilty of organising this attack on a temple." (IANS,

September 24) Meaning, just as the massacre of the 58 Hindu kar sevaks in

Godhra was perpetrated by Hindus, so is that of the 30-odd devotees at

Akshardham... Islam, you see is a "religion of peace." And, if they at all

exist, Islamic terrorists -- oops! I should say, "miscreants" -- are just some

bad eggs belonging to a widely dispersed terror network of a few thousand

members who have "hijacked" Islam... The Council of Indian Muslims, or even the

All India Muslim Personal Law Board, is not an organisation made up of clerics

in the mould of Abu Hamza al-Masri and Mullah Omar. These are the "regular

guys." When they -- or the pinkos -- say the only way to deal with terrorism is

to address its root causes, what they really mean is: Hindus are the root cause.

Hindus keep us enslaved and impoverished. The economic success of Hindus makes

us look like primitive, fanatical failures... The fault, you see, never can be

Islamism. And so you're thinking: See? This hate-monger has drawn madarsas into

fray just because she wants to attack Muslims. Yeah, yeah, think what you like.

However, note PTI's report on the leaflets of an outfit named Tehrik-e-Kasak

which were found on the bodies of the slain terrorists who attacked Akshardham:

"The leaflets suggested that the group appeared to be from Gujarat itself,

National Security Guard officials said." Meaning, Gujarati Muslims. (I wonder,

did Bukhari get a tip-off from his handlers...?) At which point, I can easily

take off into the entire history of SIMI in Gujarat and lay out a case on the

Godhra arson, as well as Hindu rage that fuelled the subsequent riots. It's

tempting, but I'll desist. For I'm more interested in the changes that have

been wrought by Gujarat: ToI reports that the Maino Congress disowned

Shankersinh Vaghela's bandh called to protest the "security lapse." Instead, it

claimed that the bandh was to "protest against the terrorist attack and for

mourning and offering prayers for the dead." I can't remember the last time the

Congress "felt" for Hindus dying en masse. The Shroud of Turin, accompanied by

Manmohan Singh and Kamal Nath, actually visited the temple and condemned the

attack without riders. The ToI editorial states, "At a time like this, our two

prime concerns should be to express solidarity with the victims of the attack

and to rally together to defeat the subversive intentions of the terrorists."

Well, well, well... look what Hindu anger has achieved... Of course, nothing

even remotely connected to the loss of Hindu lives can be of any import to the

pinkos. Accordingly, the CPI-M stated: "This attack constitutes yet another

assault on the secular fabric of our country which has been under severe strain

recently in Gujarat." That is, the assault and strain caused by Hindu rioters.

The CPI, on the other hand, warned that the killing of the innocent people

would "only unleash a vicious cycle of killings and counter-killings" and

demanded that President's rule be imposed on Gujarat. That is, no matter who

and how many died, let's first get rid of the Hindus in government. At the time

of writing, I'm unable to ascertain whether any pinko luminary made a trip to

Gandhinagar. But I think it's safe to say, not. If pinkos had, they could have

seen the bodies of the dead children lying on the floor of the civil hospital

in Gandhinagar. Perhaps, then they would have made statements unrelated to

politics and "secularism." Perhaps, they would have seen practicing Hindus as

they see other human beings and not as mere objects to demonise. But you know

what? Sooner than later, Akshardham will be projected as a "reaction" of the

minorities. And, to boost the Islamist morale of the likes of Bukhari, we'll

see stuff like: "The sad, honest truth is that Muslims attacked the coach in

Godhra after they were humiliated and provoked into rage by a swaggering bunch

of hoodlum kar sevaks" -- Bina Sarkar Elias in The Indian Express, May 20

"Seeking to debar the [bJP] party from contesting elections, it alleged that

the Godhra incident was triggered by some action of Kar Sevaks returning from

Ayodhya" -- IE report of May 2 on a suit filed by Agnivesh, Nirmala Deshpande

and Nafisa Ali. "But the facts emerging from yet another affidavit filed before

the Commission, by civil rights advocate Amrish Patel, based on statements of

the engine driver, guard and passengers of the train and a railway clerk at

Godhra station, suggests that the chains were pulled by the kar sevaks." --

Shyam Parekh in ToI of July 16. "6 months later, nagging doubt: Whodunnit at

Godhra?" -- Rohit Bhan, IE, September 5. "Godhra victims may not have been kar

sevaks" -- Rajesh Ramachandran, ToI, August 5 Last but not the least, on

Wednesday, gunmen entered the offices of a Christian charity and fired

indiscriminately killing at least six people. Good timing, wouldn't you say?

Mush can tell Bush, "Oh but we were attacked too!"
