Is it too late to save Hindus?
The first step is to recognise that in some ways it may be too late to save Hindus. But let's allow hope to triumph over experience for a moment and pretend it is not and address some germane issues randomly.
1. Hindus must first start thinking straight about Islamo-Christian imperialism against them, which only a very, very few seem capable of doing. One of these very few was Aurobindo and there has been virtually no one since. The movement has not been capable of doing so for a very long time and one needs to hear compelling reasons why this is about to change if that is being suggested by anyone.
2. The movement's supreme leaders have done everyone a great favour by publicly embracing Jinnah (and subsequently refusing to let go) since it has destroyed all accumulated illusions about them in one go among Hindus. The argument that Jinnah was once secular in order to exculpate him for mass murder (not least in Calcutta in 1946) is the same as saying many Nazis were perfectly alright because they once socialised with Jews though they later proceeded to burn them alive. Yeah, this is the level of intelligence and capability of the leaders of the movement when they are not busy promoting their own private and family interests through the blood, sweat and tears of long suffering Hindus.
3. Can anyone tell us what the leaders of the movement have done for Kashmiri Pandits except to use their plight cynically to further their own personal interests in politics? Just bear in mind, Kashmiri Pandits have suffered the very fate one is discussing and the response to their situation reveals what will happen when the same endgame begins to destroy any other Hindu group - though it already has also happened to pretty much all Hindus in Pakistan and Bangladesh. So, the precedents are unerring. Thus, the failure to protect Kashmiri Hindus, the MOST IMPORTANT common issue facing all Hindus in the world today, tells us what WILL NOT happen when Hindus are ethnically cleansed from their homes, murdered and their women abducted.
4. Let's also recall that the biggest rascal over the Jinnah episode has been restored all favours in the movement after a short period of pretence excluding him. Well, he is eminently suitable as an enemy of all Hindus since he has publicly, and in the presence of the movement's intelligentsia, vociferously denounced the very idea of a Hindu constituency. Those of you who were present at the conclave, as I was, will no doubt remember.
5. The movement is in the thrall of two 'nominally' Hindu business empires originating outside India. They and a third are known to have been intimate with Dawood Ibrahim, which logic suggests creates something of a conundrum.
In effect, Hindu leaders are therefore indirectly 'taking orders' from the single biggest killer of Hindus since Nadir Shah. If all this is suddenly going to change Hindus need to know why and how since such dramatic transformations tend not to happen in the real world.
6. I am confident that the movement (though not all of it) will reach an understanding with Islam and Christianity since both are willing to pay and can do so unlike Hindus, who are all too busy queuing up for green cards. So, let's now busy ourselves signing petitions, which is a pathetic sign of defeat though I will sign them too like everyone else.
7. Hindus have been responsible for some primordial failures that undermine their claim to being described as human. The first task of a people (i.e. their men, in the main) is to protect one's women and the second, to defend their children. As a corollary, this also requires the defence of territory because that becomes a practical necessity. Historically, Hindu men have failed in these imperative tasks again and again, constantly fleeing and surrendering, which they did in 1940 in the face of Muslim pogroms in Dacca during 1940, abandoning their women to captors as they fled to Tripura. Others prefer to die rather than do so, which makes most Hindus magnificently unique.
8. Just in case there are any doubts about how this is done, even against overwhelmingly superior arms, watch the murderous Iraqi 'insurgents'. They have no compunction drilling holes in the eyes and limbs of alleged or real collaborators, including 12 year-old children, before putting them out of their misery by decapitating them with blunt instruments, though apparently not in one clean sweep.
9. No, I don't recommend this, but only point it out to underline the standards of behaviour that actually prevail in the world we live in - not the make-believe one Hindus love. And the Americans shoot entire families, including babies, in decisions that are obviously the product of high policy since it keeps happening. In case you are unaware, every Vietnamese woman who fell into American hands during the war suffered rape and many had small snakes inserted into their lower bodies (read the Russell Tribunal Report if you are wondering where this idiot academic finds his information). The world is too horrible a place evidently for 'goody-goody' Hindus whose idea of bad behaviour seems to be a spot of 'white-collar' crime like theft!
10. So, how far are Hindus willing to go? They will go to the cinema hall or rent a DVD of Bollywood movies (the biggest Islamic-controlled industry in the world, oil apart), many featuring semi-pornographic dancing, almost exclusively by Hindu women. This tradition of dancing, which Hindu families are desperate to give their daughters up to, originally became embedded in Indian society as a result of the enforced prostitution of captive Rajput princesses. They were forced to gyrate before being picked by the Muslim conquerors who watched them as records of the mass suicides and complaints by Hindu women highlight. This is of course a great Muslim tradition and the infamous Timur, who drowned India in blood, forced one early Ottoman emperor's queen to serve naked at his table after defeating her husband in battle. He died of seizure while forced to watch from a cage though he was quite young.
