<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->And as I thought of the whys of 26/11, I couldnât help but put the blame on our governmentâs virtual anti-Hindu sentiments, for all practical purposes not just today, but over years and years. Of course, I had been feeling this especially during the last fortnight and almost everyday, as I saw newspaper after newspaper devote endless newsprint to âHindu terroristsâ and âHindu bombsâ. In my entire life, I donât remember reading even once any media house in India calling anyone a âMuslim terroristâ or any bomb a âMuslim bombâ; and rightly so... But the true or false revelation (of course, I believe that whether Hindu or Muslim, the guilty should be brought to law) of one rare exception of finding a Hindu behind an act of terrorism gave our entire ruling political class the freedom to instantly coin a new word called the Hindu bomb to malign Hinduism (and, but obviously, the BJP too with the elections round the corner). Well, itâs very easy to do so in India. Thatâs because Hindus are the people who, despite being the majority in Hindustan, are the people who can be abused in India and gotten away with. Because Hindus, in reality, arenât terrorists or bomb makers and are supposed to be tolerant, patient and â dare I repeat what Gandhi said â even cowards! So Hindus can be abused in this country by every scheming political class wanting to garner the Muslim vote bank during elections. Itâs not just that they can be tortured brutally (even women) by investigating agencies, but the fact is that for Hindu arrests, there arenât even any human rights groups jumping in and creating farcical noises.
But thatâs not all. Assisting the political class mostly willingly (and, at rare times, due to no alternative choice) in this conspiracy is almost the entire Indian media and its lot of fake and mostly half-educated journalist fraternity. Pampering Muslims blindly â even terrorists caught red handed â or their extremism all the time gives most media houses and journalists an illusion of large hearted (farcical) secularism. Some media houses have made it their business to support Muslim terrorists et al because then, there are crappy human rights groups around the world who fund them and praise them and give them awards by organising pseudo-intellectual seminars and gatherings. Of course, for those media houses that refuse to tow the governmentâs line of press release campaigns, the government would put tens of income tax, foreign exchange management, MRTP cases, etc., against them, so that to save their backsides, they start falling in line.
Â
And pampering and useless tolerance of the wrongs of any community, when it comes to the nationâs security, is what is the sure recipe of 26/11s and the reason behind Indiaâs fate today. This is exactly what doesnât let governments in India take rightful actions. Because their fear all the time is that if a Muslim bomber is hanged, a Muslim terrorist is interrogated, a Muslim-majority locality is searched, either they will lose their vote banks or â according to their illiterate definitions of secularism â not remain ultra secular. And that is the difference between the USA and India. The Americans know how to differentiate facts from pseudo intellectualism. They have nothing against the Muslim world as such â nor have we ever had or should have â but they have decided not to tolerate Al Qaeda type of extremism. And once decided, they have the courage to go all out behind destroying the very roots of such organizations. And thatâs the difference between a strong nation and a weak spineless nation full of opportunist politicians. A strong nation takes the right decisions and goes all out to implement it. A weak spineless nation just says âwe will take strong actionâ, then does nothing; and given the first opportunity, creates new farcical terms like âHindu bombsâ through slavish media houses, in order to show how âsecularâ their outlook is and to create a false air of alarm that even Hindus are creating similar terrorism... How utterly shameful!

As I was reading this editorial, I thought this new weekly The Sunday Indian could qualify for Shambhus list. but looking at other article on its site, I dont think so.
