Commentary : The Indian Elections & The Hindu Populace
The heat of Elections is on. Election Trumpets sounds in high pitch. This is the season of the Political Parties. All of them are in the battle field. But the season is not only made for them. This season creates opportunity for others also.


For example, this is a lucrative season for the advertisement agencies. The business grows abundantly for election materials like banners , hoardings, posters, flexes, key-rings etc. etc. And the season is equally ripe for those minority goons, who have been keeping their eyes upon the Hindu women and girls very with an insatiable desire or lust.

The purpose behind it is two dimensional. First, the Abduction of Hindu girls and women for nikaha, i.e. marriage with Muslims to fulfill personal pleasure; secondly to traffic them to other states or abroad as a lucrative trade. And obviously, ensure a ticket for the voyage to Jannat (Islamic paradise) by dint of virtue for converting, hence spoiling a Hindu women (this is best if she is a Hindu virgin)- a kaffir as per Quranic dictum. This can be done at any time. But this is de time la carte, for deriving more advantages in this election season. No leader, political party and peers groups will be able to raise even the little finger towards our minority brothers for such pious activities, let alone call it a pure crime. If the Police puts a feeble effort to arrest them, we level it immediately as an attack towards minority, and therefore, communal. Under the veil of a Democracy inter-alias Votecracy , we are bound to protect our Muslims as the priceless symbol of the minority status-a pride of self-proclaimed pseudo-secular democracy. The political leaders are bound to take the side of minorities to ensure their support as a vote-bank. As this secret spreads open all round the corner, the police do nothing but shamelessly indulging the hooligans. As a result, the Hindu girls are abducted or trafficked regularly in this season. Majority of them are minors. Their beleaguered parents are roaming from door to door, helplessly, with moistening eyes. The parents do not dare to convey their pain to the leaders of political parties at the face of their ‘not so important ’-secular gesture. These victims are finally find no other way but to appeal those Muslims, those culprits, marauders to get back their girls at the last resort. And it is the eventuality that those Muslim gangsters kick the Hindu parents out with an ultimatum to cut them into pieces and threaten them of more such dire consequences of their family, if they go any further.

As the election slogans are roaring high in the air, a series of news of abduction of Hindu girls and women are coming profusely from the villages of West Bengal every day to our central office of Hindu Samhati. If we want to weave the incidents together in an overall back-drop of election scenario of rural Bengal, we can only hear a heart rendering wailing, sobs and cry, sounded with formidable alacrity. And the wail, the pain, the suffering are now being suppressed and erased by the louder sound of the election drums.

Under such prevailing circumstances, no Political Party would likely to come forward to protect the dignity of Hindus. Nobody will express the human desire to fight for the existence of the hapless Hindus. It is our firm resolution. Therefore, we confirm, there is no endeavour to protect the persecuted Hindus or rescue the Hindu girls from the Muslim goons at any level. So, Hindu Samhati (HS), on behalf of the full strength of our organization, vows not to support any political party in the ensuing Election to the House of the People. We and the local workers of HS will decide to vote the Candidates or the Political Parties upon their attitude and attributes reflected to the cause of Hindus. We should realize that this Election is not the last one. We have to prepare for the post-election phase. That may be more fatal for the Hindus. But we have to fight for Hindus till the last breath. The protection of Hindus is our ultimate aim, our only goal, our sole mission.

COMMUNAL CLASH IN KOLKATA

HINDU GIRL MOLESTED IN BELGACHHIA: MEDIA BLACKS OUT NEWS FOR KEEPING ‘PEACE’.

Islamic expansionism has gripped almost the whole of Kolkata. Barring a very few areas, every place has become sensitive due to Hindu-Muslim tension.

On 21st April evening, Belgachhia area of North Kolkata felt the communal heat. Hindu houses and a market was attacked, a Shiva temple was severely damaged, another temple attacked and some Hindus were beaten up mercilessly.

Kundu Lane of Belgachhia area is a mixed population area. The Hindu inhabited Kundu Lane Slum and Muslim inhabited Belgachhia Slum are adjacent. Hindu women and girls always have to face eve teasing, indecent gestures from the Muslim youths. There is a small tea-shop owned by one Hindu Sri Nilu Banerji in Kundu Lane where both Hindus and Muslims drink tea. On last 21st April evening, Sri Banerji went out of his shop for some work. His 17 year old daughter Soma Banerji was running the shop. Six Muslim youths came to the shop, ordered for tea, and started to disturb the girl with indecent gestures. At first Soma tried to ignore the obscene actions. But ultimately the Muslim boys started molesting her by touching her body. Soma could not tolerate this and raised an alarm. Some Hindu youths rushed there, protested, but the Muslim boys ignored them and told them that it is no business of them. Then the Hindu youths beat the Muslim boys and locked up three of them to hand over to police. The other three fled and reported to Muslim locality. Hearing this, Muslims came back in large numbers. Hindus too became ready. Stone throwing started. By this time the police showed up. Somehow controlled the situation and took charge of the three Muslim boys. The police posting is continuing in the area.

Here it should be mentioned that this Kundu Lane comes under Ultadanga P.S. where officer in charge is Abdur Rejjak.

At 11 pm. night, it was dark due to usual power cut in Kolkata. Taking advantage of the darkness, Muslims of neighbouring area on the other side of a railway line joined the Muslims of the Belgachhia slum and they attacked Hindu area in Kundu Lane. First they attacked the local market of Kundu Lane, stoned and demolished some shops. Then they attacked 5/6 Hindu houses. They broke window panes and furniture and beat the members of the houses mercilessly. Then the Muslims attacked a small Shiva-Temple and destroyed it partially. Then they started attacking the famous Yasho-Madhav Temple of the area. By this time, some Hindus gathered courage and unitedly started to resist them. The Hindus threatened the Muslims that if they do not stop attacking the Yasho-Madhav Temple, then they will demolish the nearby Mosque. The threatening worked and the Muslims retreated in the dead of night.

Among the Hindu houses attacked, one prominent was of Ms. Namita Das. She is an elected Councilor/Corporator of that area, i.e., Ward No. 3. She is from CPI(M). Her father shouted in next morning, “ We fled from East Bengal to avoid persecution by Muslims. Here too the same situation. Where is your Subhas Chakraborty (A Minister and MLA of that area)? He is such a big leader, why he has not come to save us?”

In the morning of 22nd April, Hindus gathered in large number at Kundu Lane. They were tremendously aggrieved. Sri Bablu Das, a CPI(M) cadre and brother of Namita Das led the mob to Belgachhia Metro Rail station. They blocked the Metro Rail service for 2 hours in morning. A huge Police contingent with RAF (Rapid Action Force) reached there to control the Hindus. Kolkata Police Commissioner Gautam Mohan Chakraborty himself came, tried to pacify the Hindus. After 2 hours, blocked of Metro Rail was lifted, but the main road block continued till 1 pm. Their main demand was to arrest all the six Muslim culprits. Police already let off the three molesters whom they booked previous evening.

On the 22nd afternoon, a Hindu Samhati Team visited the area. The whole area is cordoned off by a large number of police. Hindus are afraid that anytime Muslims from the other side of Railway line will enter their area and attack them. There is a large Railway residential housing complex, named Dakhindari Rail Quarter by the side of the rail line. Hindu residents of Kundu Lane and Dakhindari Rail Quarters are now demanding to build a high wall in between the Rail line and the Rail quarter. What a pity! We saw that a large number of police manning that boundary area very cautiously. We also came to know that Kolkata Police Commissioner assured the Hindus that the high wall will be built.

On 23rd April morning Md. Salim came to the area to meet the people there. Hindu women abused him, and he had to flee the scene. Md. Salim is the CPI(M) candidate in the ensuing Parliamentary Election from this Kolkata North Constituency.

Everyday evening, the women Metro Rail commuters of this area have to face the misbehavior and indecent gestures by the Muslim youths. It has become a practice for them. So, Hindus of the area are already perturbed and aggrieved.

The whole area has become extremely tense.

On 23rd April morning, in the advice of their leaders, Muslims too blocked the main road to use pressure-tactic so that Police do not arrest the Muslim culprits.

The eve-teasing and molestation of women is not confined to Belgachhia alone in Kolkata. It is a common practice by the Muslim youths in many areas of Kolkata.

Police and State Govt tried to prevent the media persons to enter the area. But here, media houses are more than willing to suppress the news. Their stated theory is: the news of any communal clash will spread the clash in more areas. So, it is better to suppress this type of news for maintaining communal peace. Hence, Ananda Bazar group of papers absolutely blacked out this news. Bartaman and some other papers published it very insignificantly, as a mere eve-teasing news.

Telephone no. of Ultadanga P.S. is 033 23566263

Hindu Temple Attacked by Islamic Mob in Rampurhat

On the evening of February 24th, the day after the Hindu festival ShivaRatri, there was a cultural program in the residential temple of Shyamal Das of Kamarpatti. At that time, 6-7 Muslim youths started sexually harassing young Hindu girls attending the function.

The festival committee youths attempted to stop the harassment of the minor girls, and the Muslims left the location. In just 30 minutes, 40-50 Muslims from a nearby locality appeared on the scene. The festival organiers sensing an attack quickly locled the temple gates. The attackers broke all the Hindu murthis/icons outside and destroyed the Hindu worship altar. They could not break the icons in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple, due to the heavy doors.

The victimized Hindu devotees became upset and started protesting. The Hindus from the neigboring areas rushed in to....At that time, the police reached the location, and announced via loudspeaker that Section 144 of the Indian Penal Code had been enacted from that very moment. Ironically, The Hindus were roughened up and removed from the spot.

The next day, the local Hindus took out a rally under the leadership of Subhashish Chowdhury, protesting that the local Congress party leader, syed Shiraz, aka Jimmi is facilitating the Islamist elements.

Nayana - A Case of Forcible Abduction by Islamic Gang

Nayana Sardar could not escape from Rafikul Sheikh's lustful eyes.

Name of Victim: Nayana Sardar (Hindu)

Age of Victim: 13 years, 10 months

District: North 24 Parganas

Police Station: Sandeshkhali, Area: Sarberia

Nayana went out of her residence to observe the Bisarjan (immersion of the Hindu Goddess Saraswati) at 7 PM on Feb 3rd, 2009. Rafikul Sheikh (Son of Montu Sheikh), a Muslim, aged 23 from neighboring Taltala-Sakda Village came to the spot along with a Muslim gang riding several motorbikes. The kidnappers forcibly picked Nayana on one of their bikes, and after covering her face with some cloth, left the place for some unknown location. The whole event occurred with such alarming speed and synchronization that the local Hindus could not react expectedly before the assailants left the scene.

The girl's father filed a report with the local police station and appealed and pleaded with the Officer-in-Charge. But the police station was unable to do anything whatsoever. The parents were then informed via some source that Nayana was being held at the residence of Rafikul's brother-in-law. The police were subsequently informed of this, and they recovered her from the relative's house on February 19th. However, the police did not arrest the brother-in-law or Rafikul for kidnapping and / or harboring a minor.

The police took her to Basirhat Court. The judge asked her in the courtroom, whether she went with Rafikul by her own choice, or was coerced to do so. Nayana clearly replied that she was forcibly abducted by the culprit and his gang. Then the judge had Nayaya released to her parents, and they returned to their home. Right after their return, Rafikul and his Muslim(motorbike) gang started loitering aroung the Sardar family residence, and making threats at the family around their home. Nayana's family felt insecure about her safety, and she was sent to her maternal uncle's home in Talda-Shikaripara village, under Basanti Police Station in South 24 Pargana district.

On Friday, 27th February 2009, with no men-folk in the maternal uncle's home, Rafikul came with one of his accomplices on a motorbike. Her aunt and old grandmother were assaulted and forcibly thrown on the floor, and Nayana was again abducted with force. She is missing since. Her father has filed a missing report in both Basanti and Sandeshkhali Police Stations. It was also reported to the Inspector General of Police, South Bengal. But, these reports have not been of any help. The Muslim kidnappers are freely walking in the area and are seriously threatening Nayana's parents with dire consequnces if they file any case against these criminals.


Nayana's grieving parents are going from door to door with their appeal. There is neither any individual nor an organization that can help them. Hindu girls, including minors are being kidnapped and trafficked on a daily basis in the 2 districts of North and South 24 Paraganas... Buddhadeb Bhattacharya's voice gets sharper and shriller... And Mamata Banerjee is there to facilitate and cooperate with the Muslim minority in any and all possible ways.

Hindu girl Abducted by Muslims in Joynagar
District : S 24 Parganas
Police Station: Joynagar
Village : South Bele Durganagar
Date : 6th March 2009

Sushmita Nashkar, daughter of Chandrachur Nashkar is a 13 year old minor. She was kidnapped on March 6th by 2 Muslims, named Rinku Molla (son of Monchur Molla), and Khokhon Molla (son of Imam Molla), both of Padua village in Badra area of Joynagar Police Station. Mr. Nashkar has filed a FIR (Missing Diary no 607) with the Joynagar Police Station.

Both the kidnappers are in their early twenties and are known traffickers and sex-offenders in the area. Monchoor Molla and Imam Molla are religious zealots and regularly incite young Muslim men to abduct, convert, and traffick Hindu women. These 2 individuals are part of a large area gang, supported by a section of the Muslim clergy and patronized by leftist politicians.

This kind of kidnapping/forcible conversion/trafficking is occurring regularly in Joynagar area, often ignored by the police and adminstration. Hindu Samhati members are actively working to prevent these kinds of ativities for the last 1 year.

Hindu Residents of Kadambagacchi Seriously Threatened by Islamist Activists

District : 24 parganas ------Area: Barasat

Village: Kadambagacchi ---Date: March 3, 2009

In Matpara locality, resident Sulekha Sarkar's niece, 18-year old Shukla Sarkar while studying for her High School exams was attacked and severely assaulted by a Muslim mob. Her arm was broken and the mob set fire to the house. Due to the presence of multiple Hindus in the area, she was not sexually assaulted (which is often the case with these Muslim zealots), however 10 Hindu homes in the area was set on fire. The local Hindus are afraid to return to their homes, especially at night, and are very afraid of further attacks from Muslims.

Taposh Mondol, a Hindu resident and his wife were attacked and badly beaten by the same group of Muslims, their new house under construction was largely damaged, and this incident happened in front of several police officers.

In Daspara locality, 8-10 Hindu owned houses of the Das-Muchi(cobbler) clan were attacked and looted by Islamic fanatics. Multiple Hindus, including children were beaten and seriously inured. The Hindu carpenter's tools were stolen at knife-point. Another Hindu, Ratan Das lost Rs. 50,000 ($1,000 US) to the attackers.

Deen Mohammed, the Moulavi at the Kadambagacchi mosque, it is alleged, gave a fiery speech over loudspeakers urging all Muslims in the area to unite since "Islam Is in Danger". Over two thousand Muslims assembled together to "Protect" Islam.

The Hindus of various areas of Kadambagacchi are running scared. The police are not taking any action against the Muslim culprits who are attacking the Hindus via multiple dimensions using various banners. Hindu residents did appeal to the Police station for help, but in a strange twist of justice, the police under pressure from the Muslims, have instead, arrested 12 Hindus and placed them in custody.

It should be mentioned here that this Kadambagachi comes under Barasat-2 Block. In this Block, according to 2001 Census Report, Hindus became minority with a population of 26.95 % only. Muslim percetage here is 72.89%.


Members of The Terror Gang of Kadambagacchi:


Sukur Ali Mandal - headman / leader, son of Kader Mandal involved in multiple arson attacks against the Hindus.

Golam Azir - Regularly molests Hindu women in the locality.

Mohammed Hossain - son of Sattar Ali, who openly advocates that each Muslim man must marry multiple Hindu women.

Hasha Sheikh - Involved in a major extortion racket that openly demands protection money from Hindus; Regularly leads other Muslims to desecrate local Hindu temples by throwing forbidden cow-meat in the sanctum-sanctorum.

Hindu Girl Falsely Married and then Feared Sold by Muslim Zealots
Victim
Madhumita Haldar d/o Aloka and Shambucharan Haldar.
Village: Bhadropara, Police Station: Raidighi
Dist: South 24 Paraganas,
W Bengal, India

Perpetrator
Habil Sheikh s/o Ishaq Sheikh
Uncle Palan Sheikh and Ninnuki Sheikh

Polie report, Feb 2007
Ninnuki Sheikh, based in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh, was visiting Ishaq Sheikh at Bhadropara and approached Aloka Haldar with a marriage proposal. He offered Madhumita a good life after marriage with his nephew Habil Sheikh's friend Pappu, who lived in Rampur. The Hindu family was cajoled into believing the groom/party were Hindus.

Aloka and Shambucharan, living in poverty, were ecstatic to find a suitable man, who would support and marry their daughter. Madhumita was married to Pappu at the local Hindu temple. Thereafter the newly married couple left for Rampur by Jammu Tawai express.

After a few months, when Aloka and Shambucharan went to visit their daughter and her husband they were surprised by the conversation they had with the neighbors. Some people offered them money to buy their daughter. This alarmed the Haldars and they returned to Rampur after two months only to find their daughter missing. Repeated efforts to locate their daughter came to nought. The Haldars sold off their meagre holdings and went back to Rampur, only to find their daughter missing. Madhumita made a phone call to her parents and told that she has been sold by her husband at a price of Rs.50,000. Her parents have no phone of their own. So, Madhumita called to a village booth. No trace has been found of Madhumita since, and her parents have spent their life's savings to search for their missing daughter. Their efforts to launch police reports and appeal to the elected members (Muslim) of Local Panchayat brought no results.

Hindus Are Attacked in Hasnabad
Village Bhebia under Hasnabad p.s. in North 24 Parganas district is a very sensitive place. On last Sunday, 1st March 2009 noon, one notorious criminal Kader Gazi(24),S/O Ansar Ali Gazi of nearby Gobindapur village, came to Bhebia market. He went to the sweet shop of one Sailen Moira, showed his revolver and demanded Rs.2000.00 as ransom. But Sailen Moira refused to pay. Being unsuccessful, Kader came out of the shop. Then he tried to kidnap a 6 year old Hindu boy named Abir Gayen s/o, Manotosh Gayen. The little boy raised alarm. People gathered and Kader fled.

In the evening on the same day, Kader again came to the market and allegedly molested a little Hindu girl of nearby ‘Daspara’. Hearing her screaming, local people chased Kader, captured him and started beating. It was evening time in the busy market. People knew this Kader very well. He has already 5-6 criminal cases against him including loot, rape and murder. So, when people heard about his attempt of kidnapping a little boy on the same day, they became restless and started beating him mercilessly.

The members of the Bhebia Bazar Committee came to his rescue, snatched him ( Kader) from the angry people and locked him in the Committee’s office room and sent information to Police. Police came and took him out of the office room in order to take him to police station. By this time more people were gathered there. They were unrelenting. They again snatched Kader from the police and again started beating him. In the scuffle, some policemen were also injured. And ultimately Kader died. Police took his body to Hospital.

Next day, i.e., Monday morning at about 8.00 am, about 50-60 Muslims from that Gobindapur village, led by Sahabuddin Gazi, Majed Gazi and Khalek Gazi and Hak Saheb came to the market and started threatening and beating the Hindu shopkeepers and attacking and looting their shops. One Badal Mandal has been seriously injured, taken to Basirhat Hospital and then shifted to Kolkata R.G.Kar Hospital. He is now fighting for his life.

The fish shops of Sukumar Mandal, Sujan Mandal and Madhu Mandal, grocery shop of Manotosh Gayen, cloth shop of Badal Mandal and other few shops were looted and destroyed by the Muslims.

Large contingents of police and RAF (Rapid Action Force) were deputed there. But they are patrolling on the main road and the market is unprotected. The market is now closed.

On Tuesday afternoon, Muslims announced with microphone in a Maruti car that a Big Islamic Congregation will be held on Wednesday at 4.00 p.m. at Bhebia. It is feared that Hindu localities will be attacked after the meeting.

Presently in throughout West Bengal, use of microphone in open public space is totally prohibited under Calcutta High Court instruction for Secondary and Higher Secondary examinations. But Muslims don’t care this instruction and police is mute spectator.

One Hafijulla Gazi, an elected Trinamul Congress (TMC) member of Panchayat Samiti is said to be instigator of the Muslims.

Press Statement

Hindu Samhati is pleased to declare the Public Rally organized on the occasion of the 1st anniversary of its foundation, a success. The rally was held at Shraddhananda Park on the 14th of February, 2009. About ten thousand people from different places participated in the Foundation Day celebration in Kolkata.

The rally was addressed by Tapan Kumar Ghosh, President , Hindu Samhati and K.N. Govindacharya, Convenor, Rashtriya Swabhiman Andolan, among a bevy of other notable speakers.

Tapan Kumar Ghosh , in his speech emphasized that in this very city of Kolkata, Siddiqullah Chaudhury, Barkati, the Imam of the Tipu Sultan Masjid of Kolkata had openly and in front of the press threatened the life of the notable Bangladeshi author Taslima Nasrin and had even declared a huge financial reward for anybody who kills her. Under Indian criminal law this is known as incitement to murder. However, under this dire provocation this State Government sat pretty took no steps to arrest Imam Barkati.

However, when a famous daily of this city , The Statesman, reprinted an article criticizing Prophet Mohammed – which had originally appeared in another famous international daily, The Independent – the editor of The Statesman was arrested. The reason given was “ it had hurt the religious sentiment of the Muslims” as the Muslim goons of the Jamiyat-e-Ulema-e-Hind disrupted public life and attacked shops etc.

Hindu Samhati condemns in the strongest possible term, this shameless capitulation of the West Bengal Government before the threat of Islamic fundamentalism. If this sort of spineless pandering to the Islamists continues there would soon be a ‘Dhantala’ in every village. And West Bengal might well become a part of greater Bangladesh.

Sri Govindacharya, in his speech said the Nation is facing the challenge of communalism, separatism and anarchy. The Indian State is failing and politics is succumbing to minoritism at the expense of national interest and identity. So, when the state fails, the society takes over the functioning of the state to protect its identity and interest.

The other speakers also pointed out the looming spectra of Islamic separatism and the weak capitulation of the Indian Government before it bowed ill for the future.

Eight years ago, 4 RSS Swayamsevaks were brutally murdered by local Muslim goons on 10 Feb 2001 in the village of Sonakhali under Basanti P.S. in South 24 Pargana district. At that time, the then Vibhag Pracharak of RSS Shri Tapan Ghosh led the Hindu resistance there. Consequently, the village became a 100 percent Hindu village. But, after that, Tapan Ghosh was transferred to North India by the organization. Thereafter the RSS observed the day (10 Feb) as Martyr’s Day every year. Voluntary Blood Donation and a public meeting held every year apart from garlanding the martyr’s memorial by some prominent Sangh leaders/Adhikaris.

But this year Sangh has decided not to organize those programmes barring garlanding the memorials. Hindu youth of the area including the Swayamsevaks thought that it will send a wrong signal/message to the Muslims as well as the Hindu populace. So, they contacted Tapan Ghosh and requested him to guide and help them to organize the programme with full fervour, under the banner of Hindu Samhati. Tapan Ghosh, already emotionally attached to the place, agreed upon and has made arrangements to make the Martyr’s Day programme at Sonakhali successful. A private Blood Bank of Kolkata will conduct the Blood Donation programme from 10 am on 10 February 2009 and a Public Meeting will be held at 2.30 pm. Shri Tapan Ghosh will address the Meeting.

Hindu Samahti plans huge public rally for Anniversary.

Translation from Bengali:

Dark clouds in the east. So is the silver lining. In the towns and villages of West Bengal the situation is slowly becoming like the one on the eve of partition. On the other side of the border the call has already been given for 'Greater Bangladesh'. It simply means that they want to increase the territory of Islamic Bangladesh by gobbling up West Bengal and Assam. That's why persecution of the Hindu is on the increase on this side of the border. Religious practices of the Hindus are being obstructed, honour of Hindu women are being assaulted. The number of abductions of poor Hindu girls from the villages are increasing by the day. And the persecuted Hindu has nobody by his side. The police refuses to register his complaint. Sometimes they demand bribes from the Hindu victims of persecution and then sends them back with an earful of secularism. When Hindus decide to resist the impingement of their honour and faith, the whole might of the state is let loose upon them. Battalions of RAF (Rapid Action Force - Indian Police Commandos) are unleashed to beat up and arrest the persecuted Hindus - so that every murmur of protest is immediately silenced. The drugged sleep of secularism must not be disturbed, whatever be the cost. The political leaders don't even reckon that Hindu opinion exists. Their only activity is to take out a 'Peace March' after some horrible atrocity is taken place. Nobody talks of redressal, nobody utters a single word about bringing the guilty to book. Justice does not exist for the Hindu. Thus without any succour from any quarter, the persecuted Hindus sell their land and home (sometimes they just desert them in a hurry, if they had been suitably terrified) and leaves their ancestral villages for a safer refuge. This migration creates the backdrop for another partition.

It is to remedy the above situation that Hindu Samhati was founded a year ago. With a single goal - there shall not be another partition of our motherland. The Hindu shall not become a refugee again. Nobody would come to save us. There is no one to protect us. We shall have to protect ourselves. To the persecuted, despondent Hindus of the east Hindu Samhati has brought a new beacon of hope. It is to highlight this hope, to strengthen the resolve to resist, that Hindu Samhati has arranged for a huge public meeting on the 14th of Feb, 2009 - the first anniversary of its foundation. Let's join our efforts to make it a grand success.

We seek the blessings and cooperation of all our compatriots and well wishers to make this meeting a grand success.

Press Release : Islamic Mob Attacks Hindu Locality in Asansol for protecting a Hindu devotee from Molestation
A large number of Hindus injured due to a communal clash created by a Muslim mob at Asansol in Burdwan district of West Bengal.

On January 9 2009, four Muslims attacked a Hindu female devotee returning from a temple, of the Hindu Goddess Kali, and attempted to molest her in the Masterpara locality of Asansol city.

Local Hindus were outraged by this incident and beat up these four Muslim hoodlums. The four soon came back to the same location with a mob of around 300 Muslim activists, armed with swords and sticks, and attacked and vandalised Hindu owned shops, looted them, and beat up many members of the local Hindu populace.

As the besieged Hindus attempted to protect themselves and retaliated, joined by other Hindu residents of adjoining areas, a clash ensued. A large contingent of policemen from seven area police stations went to the area and resorted to baton-charge to separate the two groups in order to de-escalate the tension. Two companies of Rapid Action Force, an elite armed unit, were also patrolling the area.

A large number of Hindus were injured in the clash and resultant police action but the exact number was not clear. Six persons were indiscriminately arrested for the incident with police raids still continuing. Senior police officers were camping at the area as the situation remained vulnerable.

As always, the Bengali and Kolkata press remained totally silent whenever Hindus are being persecuted. This is their way of displaying 'Secularism' - a la carte.

Press Release: West Bengal Media Supresses News of Hindu Persecution

Hindu homes and businesses have been attacked looted and Hindus have been attacked with lethal weapons, the press remains silent in West Bengal.

Areas Affected in Medinipur: Medinipur, Sepai Bazar, Khaprel Bazar,Bara Bazaar, Bot Tola Chowk and many other areas.

On the day of Muharram, 8 January, in the morning Muslim processionists displaying weapons broke through the police barricade, severely assaulting multiple police officers, seriously damaging over ten Hindu homes, setting fire to and looting Hindu owned shops in the town's Bot-tala area: Savitiri Medical shop's owner Mr. Raju panda, a prominent Hindu businesman was assaulted with a sword and his lower face has been cut; Plastic shop owner Atish Sahu's fingers have been cut by sword as well. Amal Gope's house looted.

The whole city of Medinipur is under police curfew for dual purpose-to protect the Hindu population, as well as not to let the news get any publicity thus in effect punishing the Hindus.


Due to the Muslim clergy's ooposition to Taslima Nasreen, the liberal thinker, Medinipur adminstrator probhibited her to come to the town. This is an example how liberal thinking is being subdued and muzzled by the Islamist mafia in West Bengal.


After Thursday's incident in Medinipur, Mamta Banerjee egged on by her Islamic radical support base, has started her typical styled protests blaming the CPI-M for the whole incident in order to conceal the atrocities done by the Muslims.


The West Bengal media has totally censured this news item so Hindus are not made aware of these incients and suppressed even more. Suppression of this kind of news will only ensure even greater future persecution of Bengali Hindus thus creating a greater diasaster. This suppression is nothing but self-deception and will facilitate another Islamic division of Bengal.

Delhi based media has somewhat covered this news.

Press Release: Hindu Temples Ransacked and Desecrated in West Bengal

Resurgent Hindu Community in Howrah Resists Valiantly

The religious persecution on the Hindu community has been unabated in the Muslim majority nation of Bangladesh, but the same gruesome incidents are happening in West Bengal state of India as well.

In Chak Kashi area of Chengail in Howrah district, a major communal flareup was created by an Islamic activist group. In the Jute Mill area, during the Muslim Muharram procession on 8 January afternoon, these activists attacked Hindu religious places and residential areas, leading to utter chaos and disorder.

The virulent and sinister activist mob desecrated the revered Hindu deities in Shani temple and Hanuman temple. The Hindu community resisted courageously and the Muslim zealots were countered and beaten black and blue.

Over ten Hindu-owned shops and homes were set on fire by the religious Islamists. The District in charge (DM) is Khalil Ahmed, a Muslim. The situation is tense and curfew has been clampled in the area, and a huge police contingent including Rapid Action Force, a special Indian elite police group, has been deployed in the area to terrorize local Hindus so that they can not protest or publicize this inhumane event.

The 3 day training camp of Hindu Samhati has been successfully completed at Gobardanga Government Colony Netaji Vidyapeeth. The camp was held in Gobardanga, the oldest municipality of West Bengal, from 31/12/2008 to 02/01/2009. 152 Hindu Samhati activists (trainees) and 18 trainers & associates of Hindu Samhati participated in this 3 day long fully residential training course moduled for facing different challenges before Hindu Society. The trainees mainly came from border districts of West Bengal viz. North 24 Parganas, south 24 Parganas, Malda, Nadia and the inner districts of Howrah, Hoogly & Kolkata. The venue was also selected not far from the Bangladesh border, which is naturally trouble-torn due to Bangladeshi infiltration, unauthorized trans-border trading and horrific persecution inflicted upon the local Hindus by the fanatic Muslims, both Indian and Bangladeshi.

The inaugural session of the camp was started through lighting of the ritual lamp before the portrait of Bharat Mata and Swami Vivekananda by patriotic leader & local councilor Sri Jagadish Sarkar. Sri Sarkar adorned the Chair and Sri Chittaranjan Dey, State Secretary, Hindu Samhati, introduced the other dignitaries including Sri Upananda Brhamachari and Sri Tapan Kumar Ghosh, National Convenor of Hindu Samhati. Shri Balabhadra Maharaj, a very well kown and revered Vaishnav monk from the Maldah district, also graced the occasion with his presence.

In His in augural speech Shri Brahmachari urged the Hindu Youth to accept the challenges cast by the anti Indian elements especially by the Islamic and Christian fundamentalists before the Bharatiya Society. Upanandaji said that such challenges are the reality in India and anywhere in the world. But the Bengali Hindus will face the dire consequences immediately, if they do not begin to resist Islamic terrorism and expansionism. As West Bengal and Assam stands on the bloody borders of Islam (Islamic Bangladesh), they are going to become the immediate battleground. Before this challenge, unity and organisation is a must. But it should not be for the sake of name only, there must be a firm resolve to take necessary action. Even individual initiative of any kind is required to save the integrity and sovereignty of Hindu Soceity. Shri Brahmachari maintained that Bengali Hindus were not cowards, and even now they may change the situation in favour of Hindus by expelling the influences of fraudulent politicians misguiding the whole Hindu society in the name of absurd secularism. Shri Brahmachari urged the trainees to be the leaders and champions of their own localities so that nobody can challenge Hindu Soceity in any way.

Shri Tapan Kumar Ghosh, the All India Covenor of Hindu Samhati, energized the trainees in his own inimitable speech. Referring the Mumbai mayhem on 26/11, Sri Ghosh told, only 5 Israeli citizens were killed by Muslim Terrorists and only one Nariman House was attacked by the Islamic fanatics so far from Israel. But Israel immediately took the revenge by attacking the Gaza strip to finish Hamas outfits from its territory. The Israeli People can extend its full support to all out military action against Palestinian and other Islamic terrorists of the world. But the Hindus of Bharat i.e. India cannot compel Indian Government to start a war against Pakistan, after so many serial blasts in every corner of India with approximately 5000 Hindu casualties in this year alone. The Muslims, Christians, Communists, Congress are united in a row to appease the Muslim minorities, to make it a major power in every sphere of social and political life in India. They propagate for Madrassa Talim (Madrassa Education) to make jihadis in India by utilizing Government revenue. They give subsidies for Haj Pilgrimage and impose pilgrimage taxes upon Hindus in Gangasagar. Every where in Bengal Hindu girls are being raped, abducted, forcibly married and trafficked for flesh trade. Hindu Mandirs are being vandalized, property of Hindus are being occupied unlawfully, selling of beef is conducted openly to hurt Hindu sentiments, ritual music with drums and cybals cannot be played by Hindus before Masjids, even Haridhawni ( chanting of name of Lord Krishna ) for furanel processions are forbidden in muslim locality and before Madrasas and Masjids in many places in Bengal. All these are the symbols of slavery of Hindus in so called Independent India. There are no Dharmik rights of Hindus as Hindus have not asserted these rights through violent action and sacrifice for the cause unavailed. Giving examples of Nelson Mandela and Syu Ki, Shri Ghosh told these great personalities sacrificed years and years of their life through rigorous confinement for the liberation of African people and the people of Mayanmer respectively. But is there one Hindu Leader prepared for Hindu Liberation in the same way? Sri Ghosh assured that he is ready to sacrifice himself for Hindu Liberation. But it may not be sufficient, so more toil, more blood has to be sacrificed by the Hindu Samhati members in this new liberation movement of Hindus everywhere in Bengal and abroad.

The pre-morning session was started everyday with chanting of Shlokas from the Hindu Holy Books - Upanishads, Geeta and Chandi, by every participant followed by a ground session of Yogic Asana and Self Defence Techniques, Traditional Games etc. The brain storming sessons and other theory and strategic classes were held thrice a day. In the evening the video session was extremely interesting for all the participants in the training programme. Before the valedictory session there was an interactive session, for relevant questions to be answered in the light of Hindu Samhati’s view point. In his valedictory speech, Shri Sagar Bag, Eminent Social Activist and Hindu Samhati leader urged to carry out the entrusted responsibilities by every Hindu Samhati member. There was a blood donation camp as a part of training programme organized with the help of Life Care Blood Bank, Kolkata. 51 participants donated their blood.

Shri Tapan Ghosh’s presentation at the Viraat Hindu Sabha – Chennai.



Chennai, India, January 3, 2008

Chennai hosted intellectuals and topical experts from all over the world, who came together to discuss issues and challenges to the global Hindu community, at the Viraat Hindu Sabha (Greater Hindu Assembly), between December 27-28, 2008. The meet was hosted at the Ashoka Hotel, Chennai.

The inaugural speech was given by Shri Mallai Mannan and the sessions were co-ordinated by Shri Shiv Shakti. Prominent speakers includied Shri RK Ohri (Retd. IPS), Prof Radheysham Brahmachari and Shri Tathagata Roy. Insightful presentations were also made by scholars like Rupali Bhalla Mathur, Papiya Mitra, Dr Saurav Basu, Sondip Patra and Sudheer Birodkar.

On behalf of Hindu Samhati, Shri Tapan Ghosh presented a paper on "Political challenges before Hindu Society". The presentation focused on the need for the Hindu community to re-evaluate the role of Hinduism in the socio-political context of India under demographic assault from the Islamic community, the increasing atrocities on Hindus and the inability of successive Indian governments to prevent them.

Shri Ghosh lamented the lack of debate in the past, on the nature of India and its nationhood. He felt that inspite of Savarkar, Ambedkar and Jinnah's efforts to bring forth rigor to this definition in their own ways, both Nehru and Gandhi preferred to overlook this topic. The resultant confusion, Shri Ghosh felt, is the primary reason, for India's inability to solve its security nightmare. The entire nation has been living in denial about its Hindu identity and that in turn is reflected in its political discourse. One example he gave was that of how Indian political leaders interact with Pakistan and Bangladesh.

While former Prime Minister Shri Atal Behari Vajpayee had no qualms visiting and kissing the Minaar-e-Pakistan, a monument proclaiming Islamic exclusivism, his Chief Advisor Shri Brajesh Mishra refused to express solidarity with the severely persecuted Hindu community in Bangladesh by paying even a token visit to the Dhakeshwari Temple, on his trip to Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Shri Tapan Ghosh called upon similar anecdotes from his decades of experience as a grassroots Hindu Rights activist, to outline the need for the Hindu society to unite and strive for infusing Dharma into all aspects Indian nationhood. He lambasted the mainstream politiical parties in India, for not honestly caring for the well being 85% of India's population.

The audience response was positive and encouraging.

WORKERS’ TRAINING CAMP
WORKERS’ TRAINING CAMP
The previously unfinished Worker’s Training Camp of Hindu Samhati is going to be held from December 31st, 2008 at Gobordanga near Bangaon in North 24 Parganas district. This Camp was planned and started at Gangasagar on 12th June this year. But just after the inaugural session was completed, the Camp was attacked by thousands of local Muslims and Islamic activists. Eighteen of our participants were injured, the Camp building was set on fire. All these were done with the full cooperation of Communist Party India (Marxist) in connivance with the local Police. The Camp had to be abruptly closed as Police arrested 15 campers including Tapan Ghosh, Convener of Hindu Samhati. Now, that camp will be held on 31 December 2008, 1 & 2 January 2009 in a School at Gobordanga, West Bengal.

Hindu Samhati Protests Against Hindu women being Trafficked

In the mixed areas of South 24 parganas district, there is a constant flow of Hindu women being smuggled out by the Muslim human traffickers in the name of getting them jobs and/or getting them married them off. Sometimes, Hindu girls/women are simply kidnapped and sold-off to Muslim gangsters. In one such case, a Hindu girl has been traced to Rampur, UP. Hindu Samhati is to submit a memorandum to the Superintendant of Police, Mr. Ajay Ranade, drawing his attention to at least three specific incidents of this sort.

Hindu samhati is continuing its grass-root level activities by mobilizing people and discussing the issues important to Hindus. In the immediate past, it has conducted a public meeting in Kultali (South 24 Parganas district) which was attended by about 1000 people. A similar meeting was held at Raidighi in the same district.

In Howrah district, a small meeting/discussion was held at Amta which was attended by about 150 people. Another meeting was held at Bagnan in the same district on 23 December. About 200 Hindu youths attended the meeting. It was addressed by Swami Pradiptanandaji Maharaj of Bharat Sevashram Sangha and Tapan Ghosh of Hindu Samhati.
